The best takeaway was how each week I felt as though something within was being unlocked by virtue of an unusual motivational wisdom Kabbalah provides. I expect to continue corrections within myself as we grow and evolve together.
What inspired me the most was our cohort of students who consistently show up and their dedication to the Creator and each other.
This week has been difficult for me in terms of the study itself. In fact, I have become triggered in a sense and experienced moments of despair last night over the study itself. Something in me rose up and protested greatly; perhaps it is all the talk of Satan and loving our neighbor that created an uprising within. I became aware that all I seem to do is give and give and give and give and give. And here I am taking a course telling me that all I do is receive. I became so angry with myself and honestly feel like a complete fool. Why am I learning to receive in order to give when all I do is give and give and give? I’m in a state of complete rejection of this teaching and I desperately need help.
Dr Laitman shares the Kabbalist perspective of man as the sensing creature of creation. Creation is the natural world considered reality. As the Creator is absolute and unchanging so is the creation. It follows that creation is manifested as a result of laws that are also true of the Creator. The paradox appears to be that although the Creator is hidden from us he is revealed in the creation. When we view nature and ourselves as the means to perceive the Creator we can shift our perspective from viewing nature as good and bad to sensing creation for what it is. Once we view reality for what it is beyond dualities we start to catch a glimpse of the Creators thoughts in the creation itself.
