- December 1, 2024 at 8:02 pm EST in reply to: Preparation Prompt: In Kabbalah, our primary task is to draw the reforming light, which supplies all we require for spiritual progress. Moreover, it’s said that aiding others accelerates our own spiritual ascent. How does this dynamic operate? What does supporting fellow seekers with a spiritual inclination entail? #406966JonathanParticipant
Supporting other spiritual seekers is a way of identifying with the deficiency in the other and raising that as a prayer to the Upper Light. This is how we come out of ourselves and attract the Light That Reforms.
JonathanParticipantPeople say that the best way to learn something is to teach it. When I teach Kabbalah to others in a gentle, compassionate way, that only covers the parts that I know I have learned for sure, I strengthen my own learning and build trust in myself that I am learning this wisdom in earnest. It seems to affect people positively, but David is right, we should be careful how and to whom we share, as some may not be ready yet to learn Kabbalah in earnest, and a negative first learning experience could put them off investigating it further for themselves. Instead of preaching, it’s better to lead by example. There is no coercion in spirituality.

In what desire are we connected? #399008JonathanParticipantConnecting with others means to rise above our ego, which is causing the divide, and relating above it. We are connected in the desire that we sense once we have risen above this ego. This is a desire sensed in the other, and can be included in our own desire.
November 2, 2024 at 12:51 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: Starting a new course in Kabbalah is similar to a fetus moving on to a new trimester. The warm and fulfilling womb is still the same, but the desire and needs of the future human are evolving. Before we start the first week let’s set our expectations. How do we want the womb (Light) to influence and evolve us? What do we desire to achieve in this semester? #396761JonathanParticipantI want to learn how to function in the Minyan and deepen my knowledge of Kabbalah.
October 23, 2024 at 9:14 pm EDT in reply to: What was my best experience from the previous course? What do I expect from this course? #394997JonathanParticipantMy best experience from the previous course was learning advanced Kabbalistic concepts like the AHP and GE, and learning how Partzuf are built.
I expect this course to cement me onto the Kabbalistic path, and clear me of any harmful influences that are sabotaging this effort, or my life efforts in general. I’m excited to work in live events!
JonathanParticipantI enjoyed the illustrations and practical examples of more advanced concepts in Kabbalah, and how dynamics in the group work. I feel like I have taken another important step in learning this wisdom, and the notes I took will certainly help me throughout the rest of my life as a student of Kabbalah.
