- November 26, 2023 at 5:09 am EST in reply to: Preparation Question: Our entire work in Kabbalah is only to attract the light that reforms. By this we receive everything we need for our advancement. Furthermore, I’m told that if I will help the others, I will advance myself even more towards spirituality. How does this work? What does it mean to help the others, those with the point in the heart, on the spiritual path? #335822BonganiParticipant
When I pray for the friends to advance in their work of getting closer to the creator and that the creator should be happy with their work and receive them; I’m bestowing and becoming more like the creator. This act transforms me.

How do we amplify its transformative influence? #335304BonganiParticipantWe need to work with our intention- learn to receive with a desire to give.
We can strengthen the influence of the reforming light by being in a community of people sharing the same intention.November 17, 2023 at 1:06 pm EST in reply to: Introduce yourself – Question Your Reality Part 1 #335153BonganiParticipantHello Friends.

November 12, 2023 at 6:40 am EST in reply to: Preparation Prompt: What does transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entail? #334758BonganiParticipantShifting from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal involves a fundamental change in how we view the world. Instead of solely focusing on our individual desires and needs, it’s about recognizing a broader, more interconnected reality.
This shift often begins with acknowledging a higher power or force (referred to as God or the Creator) and understanding it as the source of all goodness. This realization forms the basis for a new perspective. It means actively seeking to perceive the underlying good in everything we encounter, attributing it to this higher source – There is none else besides Him.
For example, in daily interactions, it might mean consciously looking for the positive or the opportunity to contribute to others’ well-being rather than just fulfilling personal desires. It involves recognizing that the good we encounter comes from a higher source and aiming to align our thoughts and actions with that inherent goodness.
Practically, it could involve acts of kindness, considering the well-being of others, or simply approaching situations with an intent to find and enhance the positive aspects. This shift is about cultivating a mindset that acknowledges and seeks to connect with the altruistic, positive force within all experiences.
November 5, 2023 at 6:23 am EST in reply to: Preparation Question: Congratulations on progressing through the intermediary stages of your Kabbalah learning by staring this new course! Since the wisdom of Kabbalah deals with developing our precious eternal part—the soul—it is important to take a moment to note your expectations from this stage of your journey, and later check back and see what aligned with or differed from your expectations, and how you might’ve changed in the process: What do you hope to get out of this course you’re now starting? #334222BonganiParticipantHow do we envision the womb (Light) shaping and advancing us?
We hope that it will progressively uncover the truth in a way that matches our ability to comprehend it, expanding the revelations of the truth as our understanding deepens.
What are our goals for this semester?
Our primary aim is to acquire practical and fundamental tools for implementing the wisdom of Kabbalah in our daily lives.
