I posted this in week 1 but it was meant for here:
Can regular everyday people connect with the upper worlds without the Torah?
For example: a caveman fulfills his lower desires, for food, shelter, family…he then picks up a stick and carves a flute. he creates songs on it. Later he picks up some plants and creates dies, and draws what he sees in nature, animals, plants, everything in his visual field. There’s a kind of satisfaction of a higher desire, a feeling of connections with the creator. There is no social expectation for him to do these, things, so it seems that this is an exercise of free will.
The second example has to do with intuition. A flight is fully booked but only a quarter of the people who bought tickets arrive. The plane crashes and everyone who took it dies. Through some inexplicable force, the people who didn’t take the flights describe a gut feeling guiding them not to take it. Some are sure the creator was communicating with them, so they acted on their desire to be closer to the creator by abandoning their plans. Are they exercising free will?
I accidentally posted this in week 1 forums instead of week 2. Would still be great to get an answer!
Hi Seth, colleagues, my question is this:

Freedom is choosing a path that is more difficult because you believe that in the long run it will bring you more happiness, expression, even belonging.
The best thing was the sensation of having made progress, which is very real and tangible. I feel more open to share in general without fear and am more interested in others experiences as well.
Hello everyone, my name is Dana, and I’m 36 years old from Toronto. I consider myself to be a curious and worldly person. I like knowing about all things about faith, philosophy, self-expression, motivation and self-actualization and so that’s why I am interested in Kabbalah. I started reading and listening to different teachers on this topic about two years ago, though I’ve heard the term many times I never really probed further. With this i hope to confront some of the realities I face in the world, as part of the one, connect being in this universe. I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with you all.
