Question nr 1: What did I take from the lesson?
The power of sharing thoughts and feelings with the friends. Grasping the similarities between us on this path that we are on.
Question nr 2: How do we make sure that we draw the reforming light with every action of ours?
With every action i perform – always have the intention pointing at the other person. Always see the relation as primary rather than my own needs. When I fail; pray for the reforming light.
Julius LindebergParticipant“All the gates are locked and closed, and the gates of tears do not close.”
(From “Let there be light”, page 295)
This sentence speaks to the depth of my soul. Unchartered territory, dark continents that needs a guiding light. The tears and the longing for the creator makes a trail to follow. Observing my friends through those tears, observing myself through those tears. The tears of a child reuniting with a loving parent. The tears of lovers reuniting after harsh words. Hope and grace.
Julius LindebergParticipantWatching the two clips made me feel a bit, how shall I put it, sad, and maybe a sense of hopelessness. Why is that so? First of all I think that the demand for subjugating to the teachings of the Rav, to the message is profoundly troublesome for me. As a person who values my freedom, freedom of thoughts, expressions, metaphysics, this is a calling form me to examine those sides and maybe ask myself the question; Am I running from something or searching for something? Also, I have to ask myself, what does i actually mean to subjugate to the teachings of the Rav?
When watching the Rav I find myself thinking that he doesn’t seem to have the slightest doubts about his role and his mission. As a person used to question all sort of things I the have to ask me; What is the role of doubt in my life?

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? #326648Julius LindebergParticipantLike a big vibrating heart!
Julius LindebergParticipantTo be in a context that allows the reforming light to thrive – that is, for example, a group of people, building a vessel to draw the reforming light upon them.

In what desire are we connected? #324184Julius LindebergParticipantThe other person reflects me. Together we create something that is bigger than our egos and more in accordance of how the fundamental laws of nature works.
