I want to study and learn to the point that I enjoy Kabbal well enough to talk about it with others. I want to be able to share with love and a blessing with anyone who seeks a relationship with our Creator. In the process it would be nice to grow and become a better person

Write a few words about yourself and about what you expect from the course. #327702Dr. GerryParticipantHello from Florida USA. Â My name is Dr. Gerry. Â I want to tell you I can not count the number of times I have been confused by my Spiritual Journey. Â I was raised as a Fundamentalist Protestant and deeply seeped in that teaching. Â Then in my old age about four (4) years ago, I started attending a Catholic Church and converted to Catholicism. Â During the Pandemic I moved from Michigan to Florida. Â I had lots of time and started reading a book every day and ran into messianic Judaism. Â In the process, I learned several things about the Catholic Church that were of questionable ethics and scholarly integrity. Â Woops that was not what I intended. Â All of this information I share with you because I understand the approach-avoidance of integrating new information about personal living and worshipping. Â This “fear, apprehension, and lack of understanding will pass. Â However, you and your desire must stand fast. Â Did in your heels. Â Throw up your hands and pray that G-d will give you the patience to acquire what you need to know in order to become what you would like to become. Â I personally want to be more loving towards all in the universe. Â Just trust that you are in the right place at the right time of your life. Â Stay with the course. Â Ask G-d to give you faith if you don’t have. Â Trust in “all your ways, acknowledge HIM and He shall direct your path.” Â Blessing in your pursuit. Â Dr. Gerry

What do you desire to achieve from it? #327521Dr. GerryParticipantTo be honest, I do not know what I expect in terms of the content. However, I am anticipating finding a “gift” from the creator. Which means I will be grateful with whatever G-d wants to give me. I read that the Creator is generous and wants to give to us. I am ready to receive it with gratitude and thanksgiving.
Dr. GerryParticipantGreetings from the United States (Florida), Â My name is Geraldine Waite and most people call me Dr. Gerry. Â I am 82 years old (or young). Â I am happy to still be on this planet. Â I am a retired teacher/psychologist. Â I have had an overwhelming desire to know G-d, for most of my life. Â I have become “hooked” on Kabbalah and live to study and share with others. Â I have been reading and now I am signed up for this course. Â I look forward to meeting others who share my enthusiasm. Â Everything I have read so far, confirms what I have known, and adds new insight. Â I can hardly wait to know more.
I know we will be blessed by this class with the outcome of a deeper appreciation of our Creator. Â I look forward to a great union.
May G-d bless you with an overflowing of blessings and love.
Dr. Gerry

Sincerely, Dr. Gerry
