- July 30, 2023 at 8:05 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: To what perception of reality do we want the study of Kabbalah to lead us? #327401martinParticipant
To be able to answer the questions of who and what not for self gain only, although who is going to reject the chance of more constant pleasure and fulfilment? The important idea and purpose for me is to be a conduit through which “this wisdom” might flow so that others can also experience purpose and fulfilment. Surely there has never been a time when this is needed like today.
July 23, 2023 at 7:33 am EDT in reply to: Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #326891martinParticipantHi everyone, I belong to a Reform Synagogue and quite often lead services. From a “previous” life I have given many “sermons” although they have really been teachings. Since approaching Kabbalah thorough your many U-Tube videos I have realised, through this lesson that an orderly progression through the teachings is preferable otherwise it can get muddled, or is that just me. The congregation is quite convinced that I am out with the fairies as I expose them to just the basics of Kabbalah. It’s not got the greatest reputation even among progressive Judaism. I’ve a feeling that the essence of understanding and the route to sharing is better served from a position of attainment. Sharing from personal experience rather than an intellectual exercise. What do you think. Great teaching from Tony by the way
July 23, 2023 at 6:15 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: What do you expect from the lesson? What do you desire to achieve from it? #326889martinParticipantFrom the introduction the possibility of changing the course of my life through the wisdom of Kabbalah struck home. The question is in what direction is this headed? My immediate response is the desire to be a conduit through which I might be able to make others experience much more pleasure and fulfillment after having experienced it myself.
martinParticipantHi Martin here from Southampton in the south of the UK. I belong to a Reformed Synagogue in Bournemouth UK, although I must admit I am probably on the “orthodox” side. Most of my study has been through CHABAD. Kabbalah became an interest through the book of Tanya and then became a consuming search for meaning and purpose. So I am looking forward, with much excitement and some trepidation, to the journey ahead.
