i thought to add this quote i read from Dr. Laitman, in which initially the idea of “Sunbathing” struck me as particularly enticing 🙂
“The matter is not in learning a few pages of text and acquiring knowledge. But we need to read these texts because during the time of studies we direct ourselves to greater influence of the Light. For example, the reading of Kabbalistic texts is one of the conditions of the correct intention towards the Light. But we don’t read them just for understanding, but with the thought to pull towards us the influence of the Light.”

idk what i can say about the readings, but personally i like to pause and meditate on whatever sparks a response and so, reading the Zohar on my own does it better for me; also i can stay in the spark and find the interpreted verse or other reference and continue with that before coming back to where i left off…
if everyone must reach the ultimate goal, then my role would be to make efforts in that direction so i myself can get there, too; while a bit of speculation would relate that sharing it with other people would also contribute to that ultimate goal, hopefully.
i feel like the complexities of my inner world are mirrored and connected to all those moving parts we’re learning about, and, i suppose a principle of sorts might be that the bestowal of the Reforming Light illuminates slowly and gradually my inner sefirot and partzufim through an equally – or more, or less 🙂 complex system of successive worlds, according to a Divine plan (of which i’m hoping to learn how to deepen)… still no harmonious, concrete principle coming up atm…., certainly no “key principle” 😉 maybe, the more effort/time you study the more bestowal received (i’ll go with that 🙂 .
tbh, it didn’t occur to me, but at this point i’m continuing to find out more, as it is very interesting and the presentation is like successive cliff-hangers ! thanks for making this course 🙂
also, the process of learning these things throw everything into confusion, while re-arrangements seem imminent….
i think i’ve been wondering about that for a short while lately, and think about refraining from normal life stuff that i enjoy, like romComs, salty snacks, sweets and sugary drinks, which is also egotistical since dieting is a plus – i exercise too and nourish myself sufficiently so no need to worry 🙂 — but, also i try to do things for others more, even if it’s minimalist, like adopting the attitude of “live and let live”; idk there’s a lot going on in the lessons of KabU, so i wonder a lot about this question…. “what to do?”
