I 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.
In a world where individuals are interconnected through the spiritual principle of love the foundation of human interaction is not competition or individualism, but a deep recognition of our shared essence and mutual responsibility. If the world and its people were truly interconnected, we would approach dilemmas as a collaborative — seeking solutions that are beneficial for the whole rather than for isolated interests.
Helping others spiritually—it’s spiritual mutuality. When you help another ascend, you awaken the reforming light for them and for yourself.
Because the collective vessel is one, every soul’s progress strengthens and uplifts the whole. By participating in the dissemination of Kabbalah, I am not stepping away from my personal tikkun — I am completing it. My private correction becomes whole only when it contributes to the general correction (tikkun klali).
My personal tikkun is my unique role in repairing the specific desire, or spiritual point, assigned to me within this great system. Yet the system is entirely built on connection, so my correction can never be separate from the correction of others.
When I spread the wisdom of Kabbalah — even simply by living its principles with sincerity — I help awaken in others the same point in the heart that has been awakened in me. Correction is a shared path: I am elevated and refined through the influence of others living the wisdom, just as they are uplifted through my efforts. The more each of us actively participates in the system, the more quickly we all draw closer to equivalence of form with the Creator. In truth, I cannot correct myself alone, because we are one soul.
To “connect” with others is to participate in the spiritual repair (tikkun) of that vessel by restoring the unity among its fragments—our individual souls.
The desire in which we are connected is the desire to bestow, which is the very nature of the Creator. In contrast to our natural desire to receive for ourselves. We need to acquire the intention to give and love others unconditionally. This transformation—rising above the ego and developing the quality of bestowal—is where true connection occurs
When we align our desires to bestow with those of others on the same path, we form what the a spiritual kli capable of receiving the light of unity, or Or Ein Sof. In this vessel, our seemingly separate desires are interwoven in a mutual intention, like organs in one body working together for the life of the whole.
Connection means to rise above the illusion of separation and egoism, and to recognize that our deepest fulfillment lies in the collective desire to return to our source through mutual love and responsibility. This is not merely a moral idea—it is the very structure of reality.
