Hi David,
They were probably referring to the Retreat preparation event. There will be more events, such as this one: https://retreat.kabuconnect.com/Â
Otherwise, this is a self-paced course until you get to the graduate program where you will be paired with a specific cohort.
It’s like learning a language on Duolingo, where you really don’t need to stress about your pace – that said, what comes out will be in direct proportion to the time and quality you put into your studies.
Thanks, Rae. Since this is a place for Q&A we should keep it mostly for that purpose, and to make it easy for others to read through, it’s best that questions are as succinct as possible. That also helps the asker clearly identify their own deficiency.
In the graduate program, you’ll learn how to navigate. The Kabbalists actually didn’t leave much room for confusion if one hears their explanations. And you’ll have a live instructor to guide the process.
We don’t feel the Light. Or, we can say that we feel nothing but the Light, and it’s everything and everything in our experience, so much so that it’s like an ocean we were born in and thus don’t know we’re wet. We can’t make any discernments of wetness since there’s nothing besides wetness, and similarly, it is illusory to think that some things we feel are the Light and some aren’t. Because it’s all Light and all goodness, because every moment it is leading us ever closer to the goal of Creation. However, we’re not moving towards that goal on our own at a rate faster than the Light is already leading us, which is why we don’t yet feel its influence. It leads us exactly where it wants, and each moment we do as it guides us. To feel it, we need to start going where it’s leading us before it does so. That is, more quickly and consciously toward the goal of Creation.
Hi Lora,
There’s no way for a person to remember more often than the Upper Force reminds them – unless I’m in a group. Then, to the extent we awaken each other, we have an internal awakening-system that prods us to think about spirituality.
It’s hard for us to imagine this, if we’re remaining realistic, but Kabbalists say that it will need to be as though you are with your dear friend, speaking, back and forth between you. Like babies (though we’re still far from that as well), let’s say, like babies, we don’t speak our parent’s language yet, and even if it’s like a mother who knows that this cry means he wants sleep and that cry means he wants food, we’re not talking about the Creator understanding me, we’re talking about mutual understanding.
