maria santosParticipantTo me it means, seeing beyond our current reality which is not real or only partially accurate and shifting our thoughts from how can I get something out of this or how do I minimize the pain in a situation, and feeling that everything we experience is from the Creator and can only be good because it only bestows good. Of course truly shifting requires the Creator, but we must change our intention.

maria santosParticipantHi.
Just watched a video regarding the fall of Babylon, and Markos recommended the course. I hope to avoid the the path of pain by supplementing my Kabbalah courses with this class.
December 10, 2023 at 2:26 am EST in reply to: Preparation Question: Congratulations on progressing through the intermediary stages of your Kabbalah learning by staring this new course! Since the wisdom of Kabbalah deals with developing our precious eternal part—the soul—it is important to take a moment to note your expectations from this stage of your journey, and later check back and see what aligned with or differed from your expectations, and how you might’ve changed in the process: What do you hope to get out of this course you’re now starting? #336763
maria santosParticipantI would like to feel the light more and know that I am on the right path. Learning more specifics on how to apply Kabbalah and techniques I can use to feel that, or know, that I am progressing.

maria santosParticipantWow, this week for me was mind blowing, eye opening, light flooding my heart. I know we were only supposed to read page 83 on Peace in the World, but I just couldn’t stop reading and read the whole chapter. What insight/wisdom was contained in that reading. That along with the video’s just opened my eyes to the realty of peace and the futility of the way we, as creatures, have been trying to achieve it.
For many weeks maybe months I have not been able to see any light in the current state of our world, and now I feel like the Creator has given me a little light on what I perceived as negative/bad and how He can bring Light to it, how His plans for us will be done, whether by Light or pain.
maria santosParticipantWhat inspired me was the connection to the teachings, some of them even touching back on things that I recalled as a child thinking. The thought that there was this ancient system that taught things that had come to me as a child, and that now I have come to and been able to feel the creator once more. For many years I denied the existence of the creator, after as a child and young adult, having felt him so close to me and being at ease that he was in charge and all would work out as it should and there was nothing I could do to change things. As I grew older and life happened I, like the Kabbalah teaches, felt He had abandoned me.
What I have learned about myself is that the anger that I always felt inside of me when I would start to pursue any type of spirituality including Kabbalah is my ego.
I wish my fellow students in moments of darkness, that the Light shines through quickly so that we all remain on the path of connection.
