Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantMy role is to correct the egoistic nature within myself and transform it into a desire to bestow, until I achieve equivalence of form with the Creator. In doing so, I fulfill my unique part in the collective soul of humanity. Because all souls are interconnected, each step I take toward correction helps elevate the whole. My inner work not only brings me closer to the Creator, but also subtly influences and supports others in their path toward the ultimate goal.

Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantNeutral, connected, unchanging, magnificent, altruistic, all things are good.

Once the goal is defined, you will continue to refine it to keep yourself perfectly aimed at the target. How would you currently define the goal for which you are studying? #434230
Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantI want meaning and purpose in my life. I want to elevate my consciousness to be one with the Creator and to be able to bestow for the good of the collective. I want to rid myself of my selfishness and ego.
April 12, 2025 at 11:30 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: What is freedom and how, by the help of the Reforming Light, can we acquire it? #432950
Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantFreedom is the inner state in which a person no longer reacts automatically to external circumstances—whether events, situations, or emotions—but instead responds from a place of conscious awareness and alignment with their higher purpose. True freedom means rising above the control of our egoistic nature and the illusion of the external world. Through the Reforming Light—the spiritual force that restores us to our source—we gradually transform our desires from receiving for the self to giving like the Creator. This transformation frees us from the chains of ego-driven impulses and brings us into harmony with the laws of nature, allowing us to act freely from love and intention, rather than compulsion.
Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantI am on a path of discovering that the Creator is the entire reality. I grew up in Judaism where we are taught that Hashem is the creator of all and that all is good. I am embarrassed to say that the way I have known that the Creator is all of reality is when something truly painful has happened in my life I have been angry at the Creator and turned away from the Creator. I know now that it is only my perception of the event and my distance from the Creator that created the pain. There have been other times in my life, usually times when I am connected through learning, meditating and doing good deeds, that I have felt the joy and euphoria of being closer to the Creator – maybe no close but where I see the connection between the created and the Creator.
I am not sure I have fully answered the question but I am hopeful that through this course and the courses to come that I will be able to build a connection with the Creator that strengthens my understanding and connection. I think that if I fully understood that there is nothing else but the Creator I would feel the joy of the Creators light at all times – the peace and the beauty of the creation – that euphoric feeling of connection that I have had the joy of feeling but is so fleeting.
Janae Ben-ShabatParticipantThank you for the course, I absolutely loved it. What most inspired me was the promise of learning how to awaken and grow the point in the heart. What I have learned about myself in the process is that I have, and unfortunately still am, a very selfish and self centered human. Since starting the class I have spent quite a bit of time reflecting on my actions and I can see clearly how my will to receive was a driver. I am excited to learn to build equivalence of form with the Creator and develop the will to bestow. I wish for my fellow students that their accent through the 125 degrees / steps to the Creator be speedy and joyous.
