I would define my goal in studying Kabbalah as developing a deeper connection with the Creator and attaining true freedom by rising above my egoistic nature. I aim to understand and work in harmony with the laws of nature, transforming my will to receive into a will to bestow, which I believe will bring me closer to spiritual fulfillment and unity with others. Through this path, I hope to continuously refine my intentions and stay aligned with the purpose of spiritual growth.
My best experience from the previous course was engaging with the material and gaining new insights through discussions. I hope to deepen my understanding, apply what I learn, and continue to grow.
What inspired me most in the course is the understanding that we are not just individuals on our own spiritual journey, but part of a larger collective process of transformation. The idea that by connecting and uniting with others, we can amplify the spark within each of us into a greater light resonates deeply with me. It has shifted my perspective on the importance of community and mutual support in spiritual growth.
I understand that the Law of Equivalence of Form is key to aligning with the Creator and that our suffering is caused by being out of balance with these forces. How can I begin to consciously align my emotions, intentions, and actions with the laws of nature in order to create this balance and reduce suffering in my life and in the world around me?
To get in touch with the upper force and act with it mutually, we must first align our intentions with the nature of the Creator, which is bestowal. Kabbalah teaches that by gradually transforming our will to receive into a will to bestow, we begin to resonate with the Creator’s qualities. This requires cultivating awareness of our ego and working to rise above it by focusing on how we can contribute to the benefit of others, rather than seeking self-serving fulfillment.
The process involves working with a group or community of like-minded individuals, as mutual support and effort help us move beyond our own desires. By studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, meditating on our intentions, and continuously striving to bestow, we build a “screen” that enables us to perceive the spiritual worlds. Over time, this allows us to interact with the upper force in a reciprocal manner—receiving in order to bestow—and to become a vessel for the light, experiencing unity with the Creator.
