Hi Julian,
It looks like humanity still has a long way to go before every soul fragment makes the final correction. I know that those of us who will do diligent work with the intention to ascend perform Mitzvot that contribute to the Collective Soul– and I am eager to do all I can in this generation. It is still hard for me to wrap my head around many more generations/lives. I do find peace in fact that soul fragments get the time they need to return. Altruism is complicated… I need to be aware of the Spiritual world within. May our Creator work out all of our intentions to ascend.

Thank you for your diligence in bestowing this knowledge to us! It amazes me that the wisdom has been available to the world at large since 1995, and this is all the progress we have made. It seems the Creator has a lot of patience with His consistently and deliberately ignorant vessels. There are still so many individuals who have not burning point in the heart — still fully engaged in making progress in this corporeal world without the slightest interest in the Creator or the spiritual worlds.
My Point in the Heart has been awake since childhood, and now I feel like I can make progress through Kabbalah. The focus has always been on learning to “Love your neighbor.” I am finally learning new ways to do that by understanding the concept of the collective soul. I will continue to study and draw down the Reforming Light. I still have much work to do.

I am a lifelong student of Scripture and I teach its concepts to young students. Kabbalah has given me new eyes with which to study and progress. It is both exciting and perplexing. In this lesson, I most enjoyed the illustration that the Creator is revealed in the “glue” between us. This fits well for me. I have begun to thank the Creator for every opportunity to connect with another person in a caring, bestowing way. It gives new meaning to the statement “As you have done unto the least of My people, so you have done unto me.” I am also beginning to experience the Reshimot within me. I have had the experience of feeling and reflecting the deep humiliation and anger inside of some strangers I interacted with. That was shocking, but I learned from it. Thank you for teaching.
September 15, 2024 at 9:14 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Congratulations on progressing through the intermediary stages of your Kabbalah learning by staring this new course! Since the wisdom of Kabbalah deals with developing our precious eternal part—the soul—it is important to take a moment to note your expectations from this stage of your journey, and later check back and see what aligned with or differed from your expectations, and how you might’ve changed in the process: What do you hope to get out of this course you’re now starting? #387597Deborah JoplinParticipantI hope to grow into a more constant state of awareness of my connection to the Spiritual Worlds and to the Collective Soul. I have been encountering the Reshimot driving me from within. I have been reading from the new course books. I am eager to have a greater sensation of the presence of the Reforming Light, and to continue on my soul’s journey.
August 25, 2024 at 3:30 am EDT in reply to: What was my best experience from the previous course? What do I expect from this course? #385509Deborah JoplinParticipantMy best experience form the previous course was receiving a deeper understanding of the knowledge I have been attaining over the course of my life. Kabbalah has made everything make sense. It has clarified many things that I have suspected and opened my eyes to a new peace, joy, and excitement that are independent of circumstances in this world.
I expect this course to help me make significant progress in the experience of the 1st and 2nd Revelations. Shamati has been speaking about prayer and understanding our need. I want to understand the shadow of Kedusha and learn to connect with the Creator and gain the awareness of the Reforming Light at work within me.
Deborah JoplinParticipantWhat most inspired me in the course?
The revelation of the Collective Soul and how the progress I am making and my intention to continue can help the collective soul’s fragments to become aware of their Points in the Heart. What I do affects the entire soul. This strengthens my desire to do all the Creator is drawing me to do.
What have I learned about myself in the process?
I have learned that I have had an awakened Point in the Heart since childhood. I have always been seeking the path. I was born in the double concealment this time, progressed to the single concealment and though I longed to cross the Veil, I was stuck there before the Wisdom of Kabbalah. Â I am pleased to know that the Creator is the only source of power and that all that has happened has been part of the Thought of Creation.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development?
I wish for my fellow students to progress into the stages of the Revelations and that we will all gain the sense that we are all connected and will ascend the ladder together.
