A sense of what I truly am, and how I fit into reality.

Very interesting and absolutely makes sense why these experiences are kept private.

Thanks for the information Albert.

I’m fascinated by the fact that Kabbalah is the basis for religion. I assume that in the earliest days the knowledge had a different name (if it had a name at all).

I get the impression that Kabbalists and students of Kabbalah cannot, or should not, talk of their personal experiences of spiritual growth, as it will affect the expectations and experiences of the newer students on their personal journeys.

Is this correct? We shouldn’t ask questions like, How does it feel?

I hope to approach the study with an open receptive mind. my intention leans towards a studious attitude rather than a desire for self help. I believe as my knowledge and focus on the work continues, this will affect my growth more effectively than trying to force internal change.

Hello, I’m Chris.

I studied here a few years ago, then decided to pull out of KabU for a couple of years. I thought I needed to get things straight in life, and explore some other spiritual concepts. Well life is still messy and those other spiritual concepts turned out to be dead ends, so I’m back.
KabU always made sense to me. A lot of teachings hit home because you can see for yourself the truth in both the environment and within. The fact that our nature is selfish for instance, that realization taught to me here, has stayed with me ever since.

This time, instead of trying to use the study as a type of self help endeavor, I plan to tackle it more as an academic study. Yes, it involves the study and work upon psychological states and such, but I want to approach this with curiosity, and more of a scientific attitude, to learn what is here. I suspect that the study itself will be transformative, and that the more I learn, the more I will natural grow spiritually.

Good luck and perseverance to all on this path.

Is the middle line like a sensation? a type of sensation that we never feel in our day to day life?

The way I understood the description is that it’s a little bit like doing something you don’t really want to do, but you do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do.
