I feel my desire for spiritual things grow. I expect this course to help me prepare to work with friends. I have had a small taste of it with the weekly Q&A sessions and time in the retreat; just enough to make me feel very “hungry” for connection, and to take what we learned and put it into practice in my daily life.
The more I study, the more opposite I feel I am in my nature to what the Creator wants me to be. I need the help of friends, to read kabbalistic books and learn from a teacher, and to have a true desire for spirituality so that I can give a true prayer to the creator to transform me to be like him, otherwise, there is no hope for spiritual progress without suffering. I hope for my fellow students to find the will of the Creator along the shortest path possible.
Thought-provoking question! What would our world look like if people were to be connected? If our world is the world of results of the spiritual world, our approach to everything would be for the good of others. Our approach to everything would be for the good of others and to bring joy to the Creator. It’s so opposite to what we are now, that I cannot envision it, I think we can imagine it, but we’ll only know it if the Creator reveals his will to us because we would be living according to his will and his plan, not our own.
By myself, I am nothing but a shattered piece with a point in the heart. My desire alone is not enough. I need other people because we need to put ourselves back together to rebuild what was created before we descended. If I help others, that point becomes larger, the desire is enhanced, the stronger the reflected light will be, the more joy we can give our creator. Like it says in Nehamiah 8:10 …The joy of the Lord is my strength. It is his joy, not mine that is the most important, and it can only be given with the intention of the group.
Not really much of a question, but as I learn something new every week Bible verses I had long forgotten come to me. Nehamiah 8:10 reads And he said to them, “Go, eat fat foods and drink sweet drinks and send portions to whoever has nothing prepared, for the day is holy to our Lord, and do not be sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. .” I find myself emotionally charged and encouraged to keep studying, albeit still independently. When these seemingly random recollections happen is it perhaps a sign that the upper force might be preparing me for what’s to come? I pray every day for my future 10. I have no control of what environment he will bring my way and I have no way to do anything on my own. This is quite a bit to process.
