We gather together with one yearning – to be like the Creator, the force of unconditional love and bestowal.
But because our will to receive, our self love, is so strong, it is of utmost importance to form a group of friends growing this same desire. This group, guided by our teachers and the writings of Kabbalah, will generate a great force that encourages and assists each of us to turn this “everything for me” into “love for you”, “love for all”.
We do this by regarding all friends in our group as equals, and by respecting the seriousness of our goal to achieve Dvekut with the Creator.
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
