    When I posted this question, I felt unprecedented impatience. Something inside me is HUNGRY. This hunger has pushed me to also enter the course “Enter the Zohar” which has put my heart at ease.

    Do you have suggesstions on how to deal with this impatience or an explanation as to why it appeared so intensely in the first place?

    Looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance.

    I am looking for a step-by-step method to transform my egoistical desires into altruistic ones.

    Instructors always seem to dodge that question. Is there a reason for that, and if yes, why?

    So far, here is what I pieced together from a couple of your videos:

    1. Desire to receive pleasure surfaces (e.g. I want to smoke a cigarette)
    2. What do I hope to get out of this? (e.g. I want to smoke a cigarette to feel better / I want to feel that it is O.K. to be dependent on something)
    3. Notice that the desire is egoistical because it does not include the joy of others.
    4. Add an altruistic intention on top of my egoistical desire (e.g. I want to feel that it is O.K. to be dependent on something because then I can make others feel valued, even if they have an addiction)

    If that step-by-step process is correct, then why do you not say it that directly and clearly?

    Does this step-by-step process bring you all the way up through the 125 steps or does it fall apart rather quickly? Instead of following a logical step-by-step process, would it be better to read as many Kabbalistic books as possible (as slowly and as deeply as possible) and let this knowledge change me automatically? Or maybe both?

    Why do you require a minimum of 10 weeks of preparation until the course “Kabbalah in Action” instead of letting people go through it at their own pace?

    Is there a way that I can learn Kabbalah faster without the need to wait for the course to continue or is it necessary (for example, so the insights have time to sink in)?

    I want to fully express the light that is in my chest into the world.

    Hi, my name is Niklas.

    Since the beginning of 2021 I have been engaged in spiritual practices. For the first couple of months, I was practicing classical breath meditation. Gradually, I was drawn more and more to Christian Mysticism. Therefore, for the past couple of months, I have been practicing Christian Mysticism. There, I heard about the Kabbalah, but the Spirit World told me that I am not yet ready for this study. Now, the day has finally come.

    During the past year I quit my day job, quit my apartment and sold most of my furniture.

    First, I did my best to serve the Spirit World. Eventually, they referred me to my soul and I have been serving that for a while. My soul, eventually, lead me to God and to the teachings of Kabbalah.

    I am very devoted to this path. However, since it is so tremendously challenging at times, God apparently also wants me to know how to serve Him better and why he asks of me what He does.

    Thank you so much for offering this course.
