The previous course really brought home the power and necessity of connecting with a group of like-minded people who are on a conscious spiritual path. When I’m surrounded by people who understand that the Upper Force really exists and that together we can choose to connect with the Light, we are all uplifted!
What has most inspired me in the course has been really getting that being part of a spiritually oriented group assists us to see and overcome our egoic resistance, creating space for the Upper Force to come through. Together we can generate more light and effect real change in the world.
If people were connected according to the spiritual law of love, when dealing with the issues we are facing, people would make a sincere effort to connect with the essence of others and truly listen to them and their different perspectives.
The principle of Love thy Friend as Thyself would then elevate people to the level of the Upper Force, and bring the Light that Reforms into all interactions. This would create space for new possibilities to emerge. Transformation would naturally follow in all areas of human life.
As I help others advance on their spiritual path, I am living “love they friend as thyself” and joining with the essence of the other. This action connects us at the point of the heart and the Light that Reforms is attracted. It grows between us exponentially. In this way, we can both advance up the spiritual ladder together and more quickly. ”A rising tide lifts all boats.”
What has inspired me in this course is coming to the certain knowing, that my desires are not to be suppressed or extinguished, or something to be ashamed of and hide, but rather that the strength of my desires are an expression of the development of my soul and a measure of the extent of my desire for the Creator. I now understand that my topmost desires (including for material things, intimacy with others, higher knowledge, etc) are not “bad” or “wrong”; they simply show me that I still have work to do and need to focus my attention on the Creator.
My wish for my fellow students is that we join together, for the purpose of realizing the underlying Kabbalistic principle of “Love thy friend as thyself”, and that each and every one of us, as trailblazers and spiritual leaders, achieves equivalence in form and adhesion to the Creator!
