I have watched all videos, responded to the posts from the beginning of the course, I have found everything extremely and extraordinary interesting and eye-opening into a world I knew existed, but no more than that. Since the moment I began learning and understanding, it seems to me and maybe I am just too in tuned that in every song I hear, a movie I happen to watch, a comment I happen to hear, and more other things, I see/hear words however isolated they are, they all speak of Kabbalah. I can recognize them and relate to the video, lesson, etc. that I have been learning. Does this mean that I am close to being able to release my ego and be closer to bestowal?
How to transform the world we live in and change the destruction that is occurring throughout with egos in a community and egos in one country and lastly egos worldwide through wars? Understanding from the videos regarding prayer and expanding/connecting first to self in the point of the heart and then connecting to others allows me to remember how my parents’ wisdom was handed down to us by teaching wisdom; however more importantly passing on that wisdom through example; “actions speak louder than words” when words do not align with examples and vice versa. I followed their examples with my own children. The point I am trying to make is that to achieve one’s own intent to reach our point in the heart and be successful; the next step would be to connect with others by teaching and setting the example of this great wisdom; continuing to expand the connection further and further to other groups.
This reminds me of a Beatles’ song: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. True Spiritual law of Love encompasses everything that is wrong, in terms of ego, and strengthens the LOVE that others with the knowledge of Kabbalah already have. It is a matter or numbers, ratios, statistics. The greater number of those of us who would be connected according to the spiritual law of love, the less corruption of all evils would remain and that is how important it is to continue learning to achieve this higher level of truly becoming a Kabbalist and continue spreading and teaching according to the spiritual law of love.
Julian, I have watched all videos which has described and taught in a more clearly way how to pray effectively. I understand now what the essence of the a true prayer truly is. The only times that I have prayed for myself were really from a serious PTSD consequence out of being a lonely survivor of a serious car accident, not our fault. I lost my mother and little brother. My Papa was not in the car. With time and without knowing that I had serious PTSD reactions from almost every aspect of my outside world, I began to deal with and overcome some of the serious PTSD reactions. The one that I still have not overcome fully is fear of the night, fear of driving under bridges, roads where there are trees on both sides of the road; in summary anything and anywhere where if feel being enclosed. That is when I would pray to the Creator to help me overcome the different aspects of high PTSD and I did. As time passed and most fears were in the past, my prayers changed. I began to pray for others, friends, family, “all souls in this world.” I have had many tragedies and at the same time beautiful times and adventures. I give thanks to the Creator for the life He has granted me. Now that I have fully understand from the videos what a true prayer is, I understand the reasoning behind praying, asking the Creator to help me connect with the point in my heart, followed by praying, asking the Creator to show me how to pray to connect to the point in the heart in others who are also on the same journey. Hence, my question to you is: I understand now about true prayer. I believe that I heard from the videos that I can still pray for others, friends, family, other souls in the this world; and now in addition to join my point in my heart with all the others who are trying to reach that point in their hearts so we may be joined as a whole. Is it still a true prayer for me to continue to pray for others and include in my prayer to ask the Creator to help me; guide me in prayer to guide me to my point in my heart and extend that prayer to guide me to join and reach the point in the heart in others on the same journey?
To help others is to share the knowledge we learn through our Kabbalah lessons. More so, and more important, is to learn from each other in our group and extend our learning/sharing to other groups involved in having the same goal in attracting the light that reforms.
As a professor at UTSA, I taught a Sensation and Perception class. As one experiment, I placed eight candles on a table and lit them. I asked my students if there was any difference in illumination; was it bright, very bright, awesomely bright? Their response was that they just saw eight candles with the same illumination. I then added one more and asked the same question. Their response was the same. I added one more. Again they did not notice any difference in brightness. When I added the last one, their reaction was “wow.” Now the illumination was very much brighter. We are the individual candles and each one of us has a light within us; the Point in the Heart. As we gather together as a group learning the essence of Kabbalah, we begin to feel a tiny light within us begin to light up as a group. Of course, as we move forward, we need to continue revisiting and fixing our egoistic desires. The important aspect for the illumination to shine brighter is to continue learning as a group,sharing our learning and reaching out to others who are like minded in wanting to learn how to enter the Spiritual world. This union will work as fortifying our connection with the illuminating force. We amplify its transformative influence as we continue to learn together and grow together.
