I loved this lesson! Have listened to it 3 times. Will probably listen to it again. Making concessions is often not highly regarded in a relationship unless the other person is the one making concessions. And joining with another in divinity to make one soul is a concept that many would not understand. But that is the beauty of Kabbalah – it is practical and those of us studying it can use practical means and language to achieve this even if we are in relationships where the other is not studying it. I think it’s amazing how showing interest in and support for our partners and children influences them to do the same. It is even more amazing how far making concessions and offering forgiveness (love covers all transgressions) goes in joining partners and building a spiritual relationship in a spiritual home, even if it is not spoken of in those terms. What goes around comes around, especially when loving the other is the intention.
Varda, it was wonderful having you in class today. Obviously you got some questions answered so that you could join us live. I always have more questions than answers so look forward to learning along with you. ❤️
Dear Simona,
I am another student in the class so don’t know about scheduling other than the class lasts for 30 weeks, so 28 more after the one we had today. I think I recall from an earlier description that the class time could change based on the students attending. In our women’s group today there were 7 of us from different countries so maybe we will adjust times once our Ten groups begin, but not sure about that either.
KabU is experiencing some technical difficulties in the graduate environment (mine also isn’t right) so we just need to sit tight for a while longer while they fix it. I know they are working on it for us! Hope this helps a little bit and it can be worked out so you can comfortably attend our Young Group or another one soon. ❤️ Jo
This was a great lesson in not taking things personally, and to understand that all these troublesome aggravations between us are but opportunities pushing us to grow and increase our love over the divisions between us.
I REALLY appreciate this lesson because 1) it suggests practical tools, and 2) the analogies are very helpful in explaining how sharing an experience eg., football stadium, or a connection eg., cells, ultimately builds our sensitivity toward our partner and leads to a a higher quality relationship. I like the used of the concept of shared space.
I think it would be great to make a time each week to talk and keep a notebook to summarize your conversation, or a way you felt closer to your partner that week, and maybe agreements if you’re working toward improving something in your relationship. I can see how this would extend to a family exercise – meeting each week to teach children how to sew love and appreciation and build family cohesiveness. In this way we could help prepare them for building their own happy home someday.
