I desire to think on a higher level, to focus inward on what my mind can do and perceive rather than focus outward on material possessions and social status. I wish to be able to better organize my thought and to be able to express them freely, with respect and clarity. I also wish to better identify my emotions and develop a better control over them.
Greetings!
My name is Kenneth Alexander. I live in the Portland area of the state of Oregon in the United States. I recently had a bit of a spiritual experience and feel that it has lead me to Kabbalah. I was raised in a Christian home as well as graduated from a Christian high school, but in my early and mid twenties I felt a bit of a disconnection from mainstream monotheistic religion. I then started to take a more personally responsible view on my relationship with the divine. Kabbalah speaks to this desire in me, and seems a much more pragmatic, personal, and beautiful approach to interacting with the “God” that has always been an inherent part of my life. I have done some personal research and self-reflection with the basics aspects of Kabbalah but feel that a structured course with peers will really be a benefit. I expect that at the very least, my effort in this course will reflect what I get out of it. I understand that it will take some scholarly legwork on my end, but ultimately I feel that I will be much the better for it.
