I answered earlier with a wordy answer; however, after watching I believe we want to get to a reality where the will to bestow = 100%
May 16, 2021 at 2:04 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: To what perception of reality do we want the study of Kabbalah to lead us? #51885Mark TaylorParticipantI’m going to give you a wordy answer:
I am a musician and songwriter. The music I write contains lots of space for improvisation. It’s not really jazz but kind of like jazz. There are times when the listening energy within the group is so well focused that suddenly the hair will stand up on my neck and on my arms and I feel a shot of electricity in my spine; it’s as if a window has been thrown open and eternity has come shining through. It’s an amazing experience that I’ve had a few times in my life. And when this does occur all the musicians in the group feel this this thing that’s been tapped into. It’s a shared experience. Incredible!
There’s really no reason why that window cannot be opened in other areas of my life or even all areas of my life.
I want to improve my perception of reality so that the window is thrown open and stays open!

When my father passed away one of his nieces was beside herself with grief. I took her aside and told her that we have a very limited view of reality. now why did I know that? I read up a lot on quantum mechanics and string theory. I’m not gonna get into that here. But I told her that in this world we are bound by the constraint of time. Beyond this world we are no longer bounded by time.When someone passes out of this world into and after life because it’s eternal everyone who ever existed is already there another words in the afterlife you don’t miss the people you love because they’re already right there with you.
when someone passes out of this world into and after life, because it’s eternal, everyone who ever existed is already there another words in the afterlife you don’t miss the people you love because they’re right there with you upon arrival.
I don’t know if this makes sense to you the reader. I narrated this post so it’s more like stream of consciousness than a nicely written essay
As an example consider a very large building it’s actually infinite in size but we’ll just deal with a small segment of that. Inside that very large building is a laboratory. It is an isolation room that is surrounded by one way glass. One can see into the isolation room but cannot see out into the infinite world (building).
In human form we are each in a kind of isolation suit that’s connected to the one-way glass. we step into that suit at birth. There is very toxic substance in that isolation room that we are working with, but it takes wisdom to understand that the inner room is toxic.
While we’re in our a hazmat suit we forget about the outside space but with effort can come to understand that is there waiting for us when we pass from human form.
Does that make any sense?

What do you desire to achieve from it? #51656Mark TaylorParticipantI have explored many theologies and philosophies for living a good life. I saw one of Tony’s videos on Youtube and felt instantly that Kabbalah is different. I am intrigued. I hope to get a clear overview of what Kabbalah is and how it can be useful for living a good, worthy, love-filled life. that is my overall goal
Mark TaylorParticipantmy name is Mark Taylor. I am a retired software developer and project manager and now a professional musician and song writer.
I was raised in an evangelical church and home life, but it seem to me that church leadership wasn’t really living up to the things I was being taught, so I put all that behind me when I left home and started my own search for truth and meaning. I started by asking myself “why do I believe what I believe?” i’ve read up on Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Taoism, Hinduism, And of course Christianity. I sort of wound up back where I started, but really knowing the gospel for the first time. I have heard about the Kabbalah many times and spotted this offer to learn about that systemSo here I am.
