Well, after having to unlearn all the misconceptions about it, the following:

– It is an actual science
– It (maybe) is the inspiration for most, if not all, world religions
– That there is a practical, logical method to attain spiritual awareness
– It seems as old as recorded human history
– That it, unlike many philosophies or religions, doesn’t require you to live in a temple on a mountain top

I truly and deeply thank my fellow participants for their answers, as they helped me to get a more varied perspective on this subject, yet I honestly do not understand the purpose or method of prayer that was described here (or on YouTube).

As I understand it right now, prayer is the intent to change something about oneself in alignment with creation.
Which seems redundant, as one is always changing according to the rules of creation.

Also, everything that happens, happens anyway. Only our attitude towards it makes a tangible difference.
Is that prayer? I’m probably misunderstanding something here so please excuse my ignorance.

Achievement, to me, implies that there is some kind of end goal, a state, or some tangible step that is different from any other step taken before the one preceding it.
I do not wish nor do I care to achieve anything, because what one defines as achievement is arbitrary, subject to change and evolution of oneself.

As such, if anything, I wish to learn, to evolve and to improve. Maybe one day I’ll look back at a life well lived, maybe not.

Through your teachings I hope to at least have enjoyed it a lot while making it more enjoyable for everybody else.

My life never meant much to me.
I would have gladly ended it long ago, considering that there is no purpose, no love, nothing but pain and suffering.

Why would anyone even attempt to accept that? Why is life such a mess and suffering all abound?
Death, to me, seemed to be the only salvation from this absolute fucking hell we call “life”.

But, on the other hand, the notion of “there must be something else out there” never truly went away.
And at some point, there was a realization. That life is good, that everything happened for a reason, that we all have a purpose.
After that, I couldn’t help but love every person, every thief, every murderer and all the people that have wronged someone somewhere. All the wars, all the hunger, every broken heart on this planet are something to be loved and cherished.

Now all I truly and deeply want is to share this gift we call “life”.
Through this course, I am certain to find a way to do so.

It took some time and effort to find this community (and with it the wisdom of Kabbalah), but I am convinced, that this course is a great guide, will provide incredible insight and will help us all progress in meaningful ways.

Thank you for reading
Alex
