One 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.
I 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.
People 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!
The best experience from the previous course was how quickly my worldview changed. I always thought I was afloat in a sea of conflicting forces: light vs. dark, good vs. evil, etc. In this chaotic sea, I saw my fellow humans also floating separately in various stages of chaos, most just drifting on the various currents, while others like myself, swam against the current. This I found to be heresy against the fact that there is none besides Him, and He is in total control. I also learned that my fellow humans and I are not haplessly floating but are all connected and flowing to an eventuality of adhesion to the Creator, and there is reason to what I see as madness.
I expect to take Kabbalah to the next level and learn practical steps in integrating its wisdom into my life.
The concept, Tikkun Olam, inspired me most in the course. At first, the idea that the correction in one man can cascade into the correction of the whole world seemed a bit far-fetched, but then I began to see its logic. Assuming that the Creator made the world for man, it could follow that any change in man would change the world. For instance, if a man employed a tailor to craft him a suit, the suit was likewise made for the man. If the man began to put on weight, the tailor would need to change the suit to fit the man. When the man realized his error and took steps to correct his weight, the tailor would then change the suit to fit the man again. Furthermore, since we are all fragments of one universal soul, any correction in one soul corrects the whole. This puts the onus on us to get with the program, correct ourselves, and correct the world!
