When I look at nature and its magnificence, I feel sure that there is a great Intelligence/Creator behind the whole of life. I await with hope for a future that takes us away from the current pain and suffering, bringing us to experience the real Love that is present within nature and within each one of us.

What feelings did it evoke in you? #286584MargaretParticipantThroughout both versions, I really tried hard to connect with the Zohar and to maintain the intention. Doing so requires a lot of focus, but what I would say is that the feeling I got was more intense when listening (but not understanding) the Hebrew version. I can only describe it as quite a visceral feeling within, similar to a strong and felt awareness of my inner body. It is hard to describe, but it is a somewhat intense feeling that evokes great respect for the beautiful words of the Zohar.

Write a few words about yourself and about what you expect from the course. #285858MargaretParticipantMy name is Margaret. I have investigated many different spiritual paths, all of which have been interesting, but have never given me the answers to many questions. What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Why do we live for seventy+ years and then die? What can I learn from nature? What is death?
I yearn to find these answers, which is why I am interested in The Zohar.
MargaretParticipantI think what I have learned most about myself is that I am more aware of my weaknesses. At the same time, I have learned that it is only through the recognition of my weaknesses that I can seek to walk the path of overcoming my ego, so I can learn to bestow upon others. This is where networking with other points in the heart to ignite the spark of love within each other becomes more important.
MargaretParticipantThe physical is transformed into the spiritual only through connection with others, who by the point in their hearts have the same desire as myself, which is to become equivalent to the Creator.
