Hard to say what inspired me the most. I found every lesson very mindblowing and was always looking forward to it. I’ve watched the videos with Tony two or three times and always had the feeling of a deeper and deeper understanding. After having had experiences during prayer half a year ago and a very turbulent time afterwards I am very happy that I’ve found Kabbalah now, that explains to me in a clear way, what those experiences were and why I had them. So I am less confused and got the feeling now, that I am “on the right track”. So grateful that this course and KabU exists. I don’t know where I would be stuck without it, but clearly it would have been much harder to orient myself again. I wish for my fellow students that they continue their journey in a healthy, yet clear and as short as possible way – may you be filled with love and the feeling of wholeness and connection!
Hi Seth, thanks for answering our questions! I’ve been reflecting a lot on my relationship to the ego. Through the additional material with Asaf and Gil, I’ve come to understand more clearly that, in some way, it’s about using the ego. I can’t simply “skip over” it or fight against it. But what if the point in the heart has already grown to the extent that there is a soul (Ruach, Neshama)? Is the ego still the driving force even then? I also find myself stuck with the concept of the Masach. Simply saying “I receive, but not for myself” feels like a kind of trick like a spirtual bypass. Even in that case, I am creating the Masach because I want something—namely, spiritual progress. Do devotion and humility actually play a role here? Maybe you can help me clarify a bit the role of the ego and how it is placed in relation to the soul.
Dear friends, I wish that your desire for truth and adhesion to the Source may not decrease but increase on every step of the way. May you feel that you are not alone but connected to the whole world and everybody in it. May your heart be open and full of joy. May the world change in the same way you are changing right now.
I would say I’ve gained a deeper understanding trough all the situations – good and “bad” – that I’ve experienced in my life so far. To me they seem like lessons to learn about how to relate to the Creator; how to gain balance. And part of this is most probably also the discovery of teachers (spiritual ones, ordinary ones). Actually I would say, life itself has become a teacher to me.
Hey Seth, ‘d like to briefly summarize my current understanding to see where I stand or where there might be gaps: The will to receive remains fully intact and will never change because it was part of the divine plan (to create a creature that He can fill with joy). However, the “someone” who receives changes – it’s no longer the individual who only wants to receive for themselves, but a natural “attitude” emerges from which one receives, but without the “inner pressure” perhaps (not only for me alone) – more out of enjoyment (since enjoyment is also not the same as tormenting desire, the need to “have” something). This entire process seems to be made easier by the existence of the “Point in the Heart,” which is apparently “part of the whole” and thus doesn’t “need” anything, but is already complete – meaning it should already possess the qualities of the Creator!? I’m also wondering what exactly the Point in the Heart is – it’s been a recurring question “What is this self even?” If I follow this, follow the self, then I also feel like I end up in a place “beyond the ego,” and that this has something to do with the Point in the Heart!? Do you have any hints or corrections to this current understanding?
