- July 15, 2024 at 9:22 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected? #381435EdParticipant
In Proverbs 27:17 we read “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Connecting with others allows us to work together with our own desires of reaching adhesion with the Creator, and as a team make up for whatever lack the individual possesses.
July 1, 2024 at 9:22 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Imagine if people were connected according to the spiritual law of love. How would these many issues be approached differently? #377988EdParticipantThe essence of real love always flows from one point to another, much like the force that flows electricity from positive to negative. A society based on the principle of “loving your neighbor as yourself,” would by nature flow love and concern from each person to the other synergistically like the cells of a body that work together in harmony.
June 25, 2024 at 4:29 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Our entire work in Kabbalah is only to attract the light that reforms. By this we receive everything we need for our advancement. Furthermore, I’m told that if I will help the others, I will advance myself even more towards spirituality. How does this work? What does it mean to help the others, those with the point in the heart, on the spiritual path? #377456EdParticipantOne cell in a human body can not accomplish any more than what it was designed to do, but when combined with all the other cells in the body, it can work together to do whatever the soul of the man desires. We, likewise, need to work together to achieve correction.
June 17, 2024 at 9:22 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Prompt: Considering our journey thus far, how can we fortify our connection with the illuminating force? How do we amplify its transformative influence? #376416EdParticipantI remember that when I was young I totally hated being a “kid.” I felt trapped in my body and circumstances and wanted the liberation and freedom that being an adult would afford me. So how can I fortify my connection and amplify its influence? I suppose being open to casting off my spiritual childhood and allowing the Creator to lead me deeper into spirituality whatever the cost.

June 11, 2024 at 9:45 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? #375552EdParticipantPeople say that they climb Mount Everest because it is there. Likewise, I want to begin climbing the 125-step ladder and experience everything the Creator laid out for my life. From what I gather, I’ve been bumbling around for almost 6000 years, so it’s time I get the ball rolling!
