to shift from an egoistic perspective to a bestowal perspective means to start looking at our desires in a way that they can benefit others and not only from a selfish point of view. We to develop a feeling of wanting to help, to bring happiness to our surrounding and be aware of our actions and their impact so we could always act in a way that does not harm others but helps and elevates them.
In this semester I would like to achieve a better understanding of how Kabbalah influences my daily life and would like to commit sticking to a learning schedule that I neglected a bit during the last couple of weeks. I would also like to further develop my self awareness and start filling up the ‘point in my hearth’ with more light , so it could grow and develop more and more.
I’ll start about what I learned about myself – I realized that actually I am sometimes judgmental regardless that I always so myself as an objective person, trying to understand both sides…. This realization is something that I have to work on and it means that I have to be even more aware of my reactions and motives then before. What inspires me is the fact that so many people today are waking up and search for meaning and it arises in me a feeling of expectancy and excitement to what still is ahead of us. There are a lot of things that I still struggle to understand but slowly slowly, I believe that as I’ll proceed with learning Kabbalah more and more things will open up. I wish all my fellow students to persist with the learning and I am looking forward the times that peace will really prevail in the world.
I think that my role is to see myself as apart of everybody and so treat them the same way as I would treat myself
in one of the videos it was mentioned that Abraham was actually the first kabbalah teacher, he was inviting people to his tent, giving them food and shelter and teaching them Kabbalah. I would like to know where in the Torah there is a mention of it , or else, how do we know that he was teaching Kabbalah? We know that Abvraham was spreading the belief in one God but how we can conclude from this that he was teaching Kabbalah the people who were invited to his tent ?
When I am contemplating this question , if I consider what we learned so far it is like understanding that everything comes and happens from a desire to bestow and when looking at the big picture there is nothing that does not have a meaning or a purpose for the good of all.
But it is difficult for me to comprehend this because surely the creator knows and understands his creation so when events are happening that cause sadness (like loosing a loved one , suffering from an incurable illness, seeing someone close to our hearth suffering without the ability to help him\her) the creator may feel these thing through us – even though this ‘feeling’Â exists in this low world only , it is sort of a branch of a root in the spiritual world . The creation came from the creator so it is part of the creator. It is a bit difficult to express with words what I mean and I hope that it will not be miss understood.
