To shift our perception we need to feel others needs as our own.

This quote is from your diagram on the preceding page showing the descent from Eyn Soph and then ascent back .
“Ours is a special, imaginary reality where, instead of the oneness that existed in the spiritual world, the created being is Shattered, each part perceives itself as separate, and one’s own desires are projected before him as 4 levels – inanimate, vegetative, animate, and speaking.”
Does this mean each individual , the shattered piece’s of Adam ka Damon…..or is it Adam haReshon ??? ( not sure i understand the difference ? ), lives in a reality of his own construction ? Are we interacting with other souls ??? are they connected to our projection ??? or are we alone in this projection ? ie are all the shattered pieces of soul in the same projection ? even though presumably each individuals projection wuld be different …going around in a circle here !!!

I would like to understand more about Kabbalah.
Strangely each time I feel i have reached a point where I grasp a concept….slowly it seems to slip away or move out of focus.I think that is because it is a very new way to filter things in the world …Paradigm shifts seem to be initially high maintenance!.
Im hoping with daily lessons i will progress with more ???? clarity …and find some upper light …or that it finds me !September 1, 2023 at 5:56 pm EDT in reply to: Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #330038MollyParticipantok well thats sort of comforting …I shall hope the upper force finds me …i think i will need its help for this one .
August 29, 2023 at 2:38 am EDT in reply to: Ask anything about week 1 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #329811MollyParticipantI like the idea that the current ongoing crisis( is that an oxymoron???) is in some way a necessity to push the world to creativity and solution.
I recently read a book/course called Big History: Its really a history of the world from the Big Bang onwards incorporating science, history, statistics, ….multi disciplinary.
What stood out was this : tribute taking states, nobles/ aristocrats/warriors of most historical systems that extract resources by force from merchants and agrarian peasants ..hate those people …they look down on them and feel superior! ( these are the foundational operating systems of most of the big world empires )Interestingly this strikes me as exactly the same mechanism that I felt after a lifetime in Nursing.
Many people resent and hate you simply for caring, they see you as a fool, a person to be exploited …weak.
It is hard to feel compassion for such people and this is where i get stuck …loving my neighbour as myself when my neighbour is such a person.
I gave it a good go for 40 years !!!!
I feel if this is the core of Kabbalah Im going to be in a lot of trouble trying to fulfil that basic tenet .
Any advice on overcoming that difficulty?August 28, 2023 at 6:02 pm EDT 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? #329792MollyParticipantI would like to feel that the light is with me , assisting me in my quest and that I am truly beginning to feel the desire to bestow to others without thought for myself . Also by this desire that I am moving towards the creator as I become more like him .
