Thank you for the hint. After reading, I can say that it makes sense how the connections between us help us transcend and convert into the spiritual. We are able to understand the importance of the group and the connections between us.
I imagine that it would feel as if we were a part of unified collective, coming together to congregate. It would be wonderful.
This is a topic that really moves me – the disseminating and spreading of light throughout the world. While I am still a student in the early stages, I can appreciate the work of Kabbalists to spread this knowledge. I’m truly grateful.
Enlightenment or spiritual obtainment is not a self-serving endeavor where we reach great heights only for ourselves or a select group of people. The whole world will have to come together, connect, and flourish, in order for us to live in harmony with nature and go down the path of light. Undoubtedly, times have been dark these past few decades – and we’ve experienced turbulence and suffering. I am optimistic for the future, though, because of great teachers and helpful resources. This will take the help of many, though. Through spreading the wisdom, we can improve ourselves and grow in our altruism towards others.
To connect with others relates to truly loving one’s neighbors as oneself, to where we can relate to their desires and understand the commonalities that unite us. As has been described, we are part of one universal self, like cells in an organism. We can connect through altruism to one another and build unity.
Hi!
Very interesting lesson this week. I’ve been thinking about our times, and fear is a predominant theme – prolonged wars, environmental problems, and Covid. One of the most troubling is this doubling down on human liberty and news outlets are openly promoting division. This may be a symptom of our time which will lead to a closer unity in the end, but in the meantime, how can someone that values freedom and autonomy of choice thrive in such a setting?
There is a desire to transcend much of the corporeal things in everyday life that keep one in a state of egoism to truly experience altruism and understand more about the work of the student. We have learned about the importance of equivalence of form and forming connections with others. I hope to have the strength to carry on, in spite of distractions and the pull of materialism. If I can achieve a deeper sense of community with the group and learn more about the work of students in Kabbalah, that would be a good accomplishment for me. It will be great to learn more.
