To connect with others means to connect to the collective desire. That desire is the desire of bestowal. If a person acquires the desire to bestow, to give, to give above one’s self, that inclination is called the soul.

Having attended the KabU retreat/ 3 day Leap the embryo/point in the heart began to stir even more, feeling the nourishment of the womb (Light) ; experiencing the love of the friends, the love of the Ten, the workshops, the Arvut, feeling as if it might truly be possible for me to put the friends needs above mine, to connect to the friends and the Creator.

I desire the womb/Light found between us in our connection, in our Torah, to change me so I might become similar to the Creator who only wants to do good. Think good things, say good things, do good things. I have felt the night after the day since the retreat, swinging back and forth between joy and it’s opposite. Listening to the daily lessons and Zohar readings has been helpful beyond words.

I pray we, the friends, will develop this semester, the skills necessary to be part of a permanent ten and the tools needed to face the obstacles our egos will no doubt throw in our way as we join the world Kli and the path of one man, one heart. Shalom

Attended my first KabU retreat ( virtual ) 3 day leap and the point in my heart led me here. This is a good thing.

I’ve begun the 4th course (Kabbalah Experience) and looking for any help in placing the friends’ needs above mine, striving for Dvekut, connecting to the friends and the Creator, and softening my hardened heart so I might love and engage in bestowal. It seems to me the wisdom contained in the Blueprint of Creation would be most beneficial to such a path.

Thank you Gianni for providing a meaningful vehicle in the service of furthering our study of Kabbalah. Shalom

It was marvelous to attend the Q&A session to see and hear and feel the friends and absorb their questions and listen intently to Julian’s inspiring answers and advice based on his own experiences ; this gave me an opportunity to begin in practice to do my best to make the others’ needs my needs, something which does not come naturally to me.

I expect to learn with more depth the practical methodology of the work in the 10 and adhesion to the Creator with a specific goal of creating a whole world, connected and experiencing Tikkun, so we might truly love.

 

[Jay (Chaim S.)]

The revelation that there is an actual practical method for Devekut and Tikkun beginning with creating an internal process to apply the precept of “Love the other” in the group of friends was wonderfully inspiring to me.

I wish peace and kindness for my fellow students. Shalom

[Jay (Chaim S.)]

By going beyond mere lip service to the precept of Love my neighbor, to the internal intention of “what is yours is yours and what is mine is yours” I connect with all the others and eventually the world becomes one whole.
