1. The 4 phases of light is the most inspirational portion, totally fascinating! You see it everywhere. One sees it in the Big bang 13.8 billion years, in the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years, in the birth of a child.
2. The more I learn about this wisdom, the less I seem to know and the farther I see myself being away from the Creator. However, I do not seem to be able to stop exploring it since I first encountered it in 2019 even if I wished. There seems to be an invisible wall that stops me from connecting with others despite how much I pray for it to dissolve. At times, I wonder if the reason is that I do not have Equivalence of Form with the Upper Force and hence I am denied by Him to connect. Other times, I blame it on my Ego and continue to pray to Him to tame it or at least make it easy enough for me to take the first step.
3. What I wish for fellow students is that they do not encounter the difficulties I faced, and I hope their learning and journey is successful for I know the more of them in this world, attaining the wisdom successfully, the better it is for all of us.

The good news is I have FAITH on my side which is helping.
August 20, 2022 at 7:52 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: How can we get in touch with the upper force and act with it mutually? #297645Jack BrenonParticipantFrom what I understand so far, to get in touch with the upper force is to be like the upper force or have the same intentions. Since we are made of exactly the opposite (the will to receive vs. the will to bestow), all we can do is change our intentions and keep praying, especially when we fall flat on our face for failing. So do not forget to get up, dust yourself off, correct, and try again.

Jack BrenonParticipantI have NO idea! I know I need to correct myself, but keep hitting a wall. This is why I am here again doing this course all over hoping to find what I missed and if I can overcome the obstacles. I can only say that my journey on this pass gets more difficult as I go, I hope and wish for you that yours is not as difficult and maybe one day some of you will reveal the concealment and pass it on to the rest.
August 10, 2022 at 3:52 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: To what perception of reality do we want the study of Kabbalah to lead us? #296698Jack BrenonParticipantFor me, I want to perceive the reality that can explain to me the purpose of our lives. My senses show me a sad world that is fragmented, divided, at times right out cruel, but every now and then, it surprises me with a touch of compassion or love leaving me wondering if my senses are a function of neurons or brain chemical that controls how I see the world at one point in time.
I am hoping eventually, I can reveal the truth about the reality we live in through knowing the purpose of life. Having “Equivalence of Forms” with that loving force out there is a lovely thing to have as it promises unlimited love and pleasure, but I am not sure how to get there.
