ParticipantKabbalah shows me that ego isn’t eliminated; it’s balanced and transformed. With intention and awareness, I can become a force for connection, choose genuine freedom, and evolve into a giver who brings myself and the world into harmony.

ParticipantWhat inspires me deeply is learning something new every day—about myself and the world around me—especially when it touches on free will, the laws of Nature, and the concept of Tikkun Olam. My ego feels lower than ever before, and I see that as a profound blessing. I have come to understand that I am just a small part of Creation, interconnected and interdependent with all living beings. This awareness connects to my exploration of the 125 steps of Kabbalah, the 10 Sefirot, the 5 worlds, and the Partzufim—each a layer guiding spiritual ascent and understanding. I sincerely wish for my fellow students to grow spiritually alongside me so that together, we can contribute meaningfully to the repair and betterment of the world, fulfilling the purpose of Tikkun Olam.

ParticipantWhen I tune into all my senses—especially that deeper, “sixth sense” of connection—I start to notice the different sides of myself, almost like the ten sefirot and partzufim coming alive in me. Each quality, from wisdom to kindness to discipline, plays a role as I catch my ego’s usual pull to think just of myself. Instead of shutting it down, I use my ego as a signal—reminding me to flip my intention from taking for myself to truly giving to others. Every moment becomes a chance to choose: do I act out of habit and self-interest, or do I stretch just a bit more toward real empathy and authentic giving? Step by step, this mix of senses, spiritual qualities, and my very human ego becomes the path to connection—transforming self-focus into genuine care for others.

ParticipantKabbalah sees all of humanity as part of a big, interconnected system. At first, we all focus on our own needs and desires, which creates separation and egoism. But the whole spiritual process is designed to help us gradually shift from just taking for ourselves to learning how to give and connect with each other.
Over ages, this “Light” (the force of giving) works on our desires (“vessels”), helping us change from selfishness to caring for one another. As more people make this shift, our world becomes more balanced and harmonious—everyone starts to feel part of a unified whole, rather than just individuals chasing personal gain.
The end goal—or the “final correction” (Tikun)—is reaching a point where all our individual desires work together in perfect, ego-free unity. When that happens, humanity as a whole reconnects with the Creator’s Light, living in complete harmony and purpose. Through the method of Kabbalah this is what starts to make more sense to me.

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? #446932Carina
ParticipantI want to know everything about the difference between Abraham and Nimrod when it comes to the birth of the method of Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, the process of “birth” in a spiritual sense is used as a metaphor for the inner awakening and transformation a person undergoes when moving from a self-centered existence to one of spiritual connection and bestowal. The journey of Abraham—considered the first Kabbalist—exemplifies this spiritual birth and discovery of Kabbalistic methodology.

ParticipantWhat blew my mind was that there is even a step by step plan on how to stop wars and killing one another.
Recognize the Root Cause: Separation and Division
Wars and violence arise from perceiving others as disconnected or opposing “others.” This sense of separation—whether political, religious, cultural, or tribal—is fundamentally opposed to the Creator’s purpose, which is unity and bestowal.
Connect with the Upper Force Personally
The upper force (also called the Creator, Light, or Source) represents the universal power of love, unity, and bestowal. Developing a personal, conscious connection with this force shifts my inner orientation from receiving for self (ego) toward giving and uniting.
Develop Inner Wholeness and Confidence
By connecting with the upper force, I begin to experience inner wholeness—realizing that my fulfillment depends on uniting with others and with the Creator’s will. This inner confidence removes fear-based rejections of others, replacing them with acceptance.
Recognize the Shared Humanity and Oneness of All
When the upper force is felt and recognized, barriers dissolve because I see others as extensions or reflections of the same light and purpose. I realize that harming another is ultimately harming myself and deviating from the path of creation.
Replace Rejection with Inclusion and Empathy
Wars flourish where exclusion and rejection happen. By consciously including others, even adversaries, and trying to understand their fears and needs, I dismantle the psychological causes of conflict.
Actively Promote Cooperation and Collective Effort
Lasting peace requires everyone’s participation. By working together—starting with my circles of influence—I create a ripple effect that grows into collective transformation, aligned with the upper force.
Serve as a Living Example of Unity
My role is to embody these values, showing others how peace and connection are lived experiences. My inner work strengthens the collective ability to overcome destructive impulses.
Maintain Awareness and Alignment Constantly
The process is ongoing. Regular spiritual practice, reflection, and alignment with the upper force are necessary to sustain peace internally and externally in the world.
Is Peace on Earth Possible?
Yes, peace is possible—but it transcends mere political agreements or social reforms. It is attainable only when humanity collectively shifts from egoistic separation to spiritual unity by connecting with the upper force that guides creation’s purpose. Peace then becomes a natural state, as it aligns with the fundamental law of bestowal and oneness rather than conflict.My Path Forward
Since I already understand that connecting with the upper force is key, my focus can be:Deepen your spiritual connection through meditation, study, and reflection on the nature of the upper force.
Practice seeing and treating others as parts of the same whole, even amid conflict.
Engage others lovingly and inclusively, fostering unity in my community.
Remember that my personal transformation contributes to the global shift toward peace and wholeness.
This approach resonates with Kabbalistic teachings and spiritual wisdom about the six senses and bestowal I’ve explored—where the highest purpose is to rise above ego, connect with the upper light, and bring unity to the world. - AuthorReplies
