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? #360150maria santosParticipant
There probably no words for it, by looking at the video I felt love, connection and I got goose bumps.
February 1, 2024 at 10:49 am EST in reply to: Reflect: Share something from the lesson that blew your mind, or even just gave you a new perspective. #359725maria santosParticipantIn the related readings, Three questions I received on study, work and dissemination, in one of the questions it referred the student to read items 10-20 Introduction to Talmud Eser Sefirot. I have read these items before, but for some reason the discussion about the importance of faith and having that central to your study touched my heart. It doesn’t matter how much you study if your intention/faith is not correct. If your intention is right then you will be brought to Lishma.
As far as dissemination, I have found myself lately in conversations where I can contribute some kernels of Kabbalah, which I know it’s is not from me that they come from but from Him. At the beginning of this lesson, I started to fear the word “dissemination”, I thought oh boy here it comes I have to go out and preach to the world and try to convince people to come to Kabbalah. But the words “spirituality is not coerced” kept coming to mind. Then I realized, it’s not going out “spreading the word”, but being a conduit to plant seeds that will hopefully take root, when He deems it is time.
maria santosParticipantSince the Creator is the only one that can do the work to correct us, and we can only raise Man to ask for His help in understanding, I believe dissemination would then happen when the Creator is ready and puts us in a place to disseminate information in the manner He wants. He will place us in the path of others whose Point in the Heart has awaken and use us to lead them to Kabbalah. By working though us, He is the light, so it would be like us being a pipe through which His light comes into us, and when it does it leaves its impression so it changes us, and we pass that light unto others, whereby helping to bring all the sparks back together into one soul.

In what desire are we connected? #356932maria santosParticipantto connect with others we must have the same qualities or goals. We are connected in the desire to connect with the Creator and rise to the level of receiving in order to bestow.

In other words, we have
these problems that we think that we should fix with a political solution or an economic solution or a military solution, but maybe these problems are not there to be fixed, but rather to push us to find a solution on a higher degree” that to me was profound, and touched me inside because it makes so much sense. All these years we have tried to fix or control something that wasn’t calling for anything but for us to correct ourselves and find the Creator.January 14, 2024 at 9:05 am EST in reply to: Preparation Question: Starting a new course in Kabbalah is similar to a fetus moving on to a new trimester. The warm and fulfilling womb is still the same, but the desire and needs of the future human are evolving. Before we start the first week let’s set our expectations. How do we want the womb (Light) to influence and evolve us? What do we desire to achieve in this semester? #339439maria santosParticipantI would like things to “click” a little more, but mostly I would like to feel closer to the Creator to know that He is working on me, I guess that is what I mean by “click”. Yet I don’t want Him to move to quickly because I fear Him. I want to be able to be secure in what is happening around me and the world by trusting a 100% that He is in charge and that all will workout the way it should.
