I have never thought of the story of Babylon in that way. I just watched a QA session with Tony K and he was asked how he started his Journey into Kabbalah. He said, amongst other things, that the biblical stories did not make sense. This story in the context of Kabbalah makes so much more sense to me.
It is like religion is taking all these stories out of context and trying to make it make sense without the real narrative. When I look at the Bible through the lens of Kabbalah, it’s like the entire story snaps into focus, all at once. It all makes beautiful sense.
“History is Written by Victors.” The quote gets attributed to Winston Churchill, but its origins are unknown. It implies that history is not grounded in facts, rather it’s the winners’ interpretation of them that prevails. The victors can force their narrative down on the people.
So, where does the date 1995 come from? As the eternal skeptic, I worry that this is a too convenient date, as in we are looking at this too subjectively. When you look at generational groups, they don’t divide millennials and gen x population groups with a hard stop year, but with a range of years. It feels more right that this maturation of the ego, which in itself feels very accurate in itself, is more of a range than a specific year. And by stating a specific year it is more self fulfilling than helpful.
So question is, what specifically and why objectively is 1995 the end of maturation of the ego?
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?
