All of the interactive content is really engaging. The best experience from the first two courses is that I have been saturating myself with these teachings, and really focusing on what is my intention is when I am receiving pleasure. I have been purposefully disengaging from purely selfish reception of pleasure through looking at my intention. this practice has actually helped me control ego in other aspects in my life like for example at work instead of getting frustrated about some thing from an egoistic perspective I have a higher ability to just let it go because I know it’s coming from my ego and not from pursuing Harmony with others. I am starting to see that an egoistic perspective makes us no greater than animals.
In this course, I hope to continue to refine that skill and continue to highly regard my spiritual development.
What is most about this course is that it gave me the real hope in my heat that I can overcome my egotistical nature. I have learned that we all act like animals, if we are not spiritually mature. Specifically for me I realize a lot of my behaviors are coming from that place. Lots to correct as I’ve been told. I will tell others that they should keep on going an older spiritual development in high regard.
Hi Albert, thank you for the clarification. For context, the pain I am referring to is the loss of my son 7 years ago. I still struggle with the pain of that loss on a regular basis. This method of Kabbalah has provided me a healthy way to understand and reconcile that pain as a way to develop me and draw me closer to the creator. Kabbalah has really been the only thing that makes that make sense. In this lesson, it says that god doesn’t hear our prayers, for the most part. I understand this to a certain extent in that everything that comes from the creator is good, and is meant to develop us. When I pray and ask God to take away the past, it is almost as if I’m saying that God you got it wrong. I’m trying to break through that, and trying to be thankful for everything. But it’s discouraging to think that God doesn’t hear our prayers. what is the correct way to go to the creator with my heart with this pain I have?
my role is to follow the path of light instead of the path of pain. That is done through the correction of my desires. My corrected self then helps correct others. Others see the light and are corrected by it.
I am somewhere in the stages of single concealment and double concealment, and it is absolutely miserable
What does it mean to view reality from the perspective of the creator? I have no idea! Meaning, at this moment, there is not a single thread of my being that is able to sense anything other than the will to receive. What I’m starting to gather from these teachings is that even our imagination depends on things that we’ve already seen or felt. But what I sense is that “it means” to see, feel, understand the world from a place of complete rest. That gives me great peace. To know that there is something outside of myself that is unchanging and good and that it is actually not outside of myself but I’m a part of it.
