ParticipantI would just like to say, my mind gets blown everytime I read through these forums. Everyone’s comments and the answers to the comments…I feel like I learn as much here as I do in the coarse material…or close anyway. Just want everyone to know how much I appreciate all the participation!!!

Once the goal is defined, you will continue to refine it to keep yourself perfectly aimed at the target. How would you currently define the goal for which you are studying? #385534David the Bruce
ParticipantComprehending the nature of God and the ways in which the divine manifests in the world. Ultimately, attachment to God, where my soul is in close union with the divine.

ParticipantI’m going to say what we are about to learn is, we only have free will to choose to receive for the sake of sharing….that’s it. It’s up to us to become a bestower of that which we receive, and not to recieve for the self alone.

Participant“That is, he must not think that there is the force of the Sitra
Achra (Other Side), which does not allow a person to do good
deeds and follow God’s ways. Rather, all is done by the Creator.”This makes me think of satan or the opponent. I believe this means the opponent is a tool of the Creator himself to give us challenges to overcome and depend on the Creator for help in drawing near. Am I off in this thinking?

ParticipantMy soul knows it’s true as soon as I hear it…yet we don’t live that way. Everything seems separate in this world and it used to be hard not to view everything that way. Viewing the world through the lens “there is none else besides him” changes everything. I am trying to incorporate this into my daily life as I conduct my daily tasks and encounter so many “other things”.
