Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantFor me, the motivation to persevere is that this exact moment of wanting to quit is evidence I’ve reached the place that actually needs correction. If the lesson touches a part of the soul that resists, then the resistance isn’t a sign I’m “not meant for this,” it’s the sign that the work is finally becoming real. I want to keep going not because it feels inspiring in the moment, but because I’m aiming for the purpose of the study: to invite the Reforming Light to change my intention, deepen my deficiency for bestowal, and strengthen my connection to the goal and the group (once I get into a group of ten). When I feel that inner pushback, my practical motivation will be simple: show up anyway, even with a tiny request—“let this resistance become material for correction and connection”—and let persistence itself be my act of faith in the process.

Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantConcealment makes something more attractive precisely when it creates a true lack and therefore builds the Kli. When the Light is revealed openly, the will to receive grabs it automatically and the person remains in self-reception, which actually damages the possibility of equivalence of form and produces “bread of shame.” Concealment, on the other hand, leaves a person with only a trace and an impression—Reshimot—and the Light is then felt as Ohr Makif from the outside: it doesn’t fill, it awakens longing.

Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantActions that align with the upper qualities – my intention and my relation to others. Practically, that means you keep returning to one inner request —“correct my desire so I can relate in bestowal”—and you try to translate it into action in the world you’re given: choosing connection over separation, patience over superiority, listening over winning, giving over taking, even in small, ordinary moments. The Upper Force is felt where there is equivalence of form, so the most direct demonstration is to build a consistent habit of stopping in the moment of self-reception, noticing it without self-hatred, and asking for the ability to rise above it and act for the sake of connection a real prayer (not words, but a lack).
Also, by learning and surrounding myself with others that have the point in the heart so that it will take action upon me this place. To give whatever I have to the ten to the goal that draws down the light.

Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantI am learning the terminology (branches) and the infrastructure of the soul and spiritual worlds. I need these tools to help me with my journey back up the ladder.

Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantIt creates freedom, desire and prayer. It makes spirituality something you construct out of inner change rather than something you passively have. By being born without this tool it allows love and bestowal to truly be yours.
Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantI am deeply grateful for these classes. The greatest realization I have taken away is the shock of seeing just how egoistic I have been—and still am. It has become so clear to me that most of my actions have been driven by my own will to receive. For years I stumbled toward spirituality under the assumption that I was less egoistic than I truly am. Facing this has been painful, yet I feel grateful for the clarity because it gives me a more honest foundation for my work going forward. I now see the path ahead as an opportunity to build something real. I look forward to joining a group, learning from my friends, and practicing how to bestow in order to bestow—and eventually to receive in order to bestow.
