My role is to correct that which I was put here to correct. We all have our own part of the puzzle to work on.

August 25, 2024 at 9:58 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: The importance of clearly defining the goal in the study of Kabbalah is the beginning of the path. 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 BruceParticipantComprehending 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.
