I’m Nate. I’ve been studying for a little while and the Zohar has made a tremendous impact in my life. Since I’ve just been winging it up until KabU, some added guidance on how to read this book can only help.

NathanParticipantThe idea that through this work we are doing that which benefits everyone to the greatest extent possible has to be the most inspirational part of the course. It is also the most fleeting, like the faint reflection of a passing car on a store window. That ideal doesn’t stay in my thoughts as it probably should likely because I love myself so much! Time and again my selfishness, my contempt for others, and my fear of so much drives what I believed were completely noble pursuits or kind actions. My “goodness” isn’t very good.
I also cannot try to imagine the reality of true attainment. I want to sometimes, but it could be the mind is still overwhelmed by this experience already that it dare not try. I just know that I want it, and that drive keeps me going through the confusingly painful and wonderful experience of this spiritual journey of wanting it for myself to wanting it for you – even if my efforts are currently unsuccessful. Trust that one day those efforts will bear fruit though not by us. I hope that your journey is as painless as possible, that you learn wisely, and you allow those awe inspiring moments of bliss and shame to carry you all the way home!
