- October 10, 2023 at 12:41 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world? #332602PaulParticipant
I am beginning to realise that everything that happens is interpreted through my perceptions and that I’m the one who ascribes labels of good or bad to situations, according to the way I perceive them to affect me, specifically my egoistic self-concern for pleasure, however defined. So my ability to “see” the true intent of events to transform my character is seriously constrained until I develop some new sensory tools that are grounded in another spiritual domain from which the intent to transform my soul originates. Since this world is presently hidden from my material sensors I can’t attain a complete understanding of the intent until I somehow begin to attune my “radar” to detect it. At times this feels like such an alien task but I can look back through my life and see times when this has actually happened, albeit briefly and elusively. Moments when I felt a “kiss from God” that connected a sense that I was to provide something another person needed, without any communication that their need existed, until I asked whether they needed a particular thing I felt I was being “told” to give them. Turned out each time that it was something they had been crying out to God to provide. So lots of tears and hugs and a sense of real connection between both of us humans … with each other and both being hugged by God. This course has reminded me of these times and given me a wonderful “non-religious” understanding of what was happening … and what is intended to become a more common/regular state of being. I must say that would be amazing, since I’ve never experienced anything so profound, fulfilling or satisfying. Funny how I had “forgotten” these times and slipped back to seeing things through my replayed fearful filters and lost my joy and peace. Nice to be back on the path. Thank you!

I have 2 basic questions:
1. Is this attainable only in temporary/occasional moments while we’re still in our bodily clothing or can we actually get to 100% WTB in this life? Elsewhere in the materials I think we are learning that the aim isn’t to nullify our WTR, but actually use it as the engine for change when we have areas in our character revealed for their true selfishness at the expense of others and rue the chaos we’re causing.
2. How can we actually sense we are making progress, since the necessary 6th sense is spiritual and not physical? When Tony talks of feeling/sensing bestowal more and more as we go through transformation, is this using our emotional senses which have become attuned to the spiritual (is this even possible?), or that in some other way we become “tuned into” the spiritual worlds which are currently not accessible? Is this the activation of our soul or perhaps nascent spiritual antenna waking?
September 29, 2023 at 5:49 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: To what perception of reality do we want the study of Kabbalah to lead us? #331746PaulParticipantThe actual reality that is currently hidden from us in this physical world … the character of the Creator.
PaulParticipantHi, I’m an old Kiwi who is looking for answers that have proven elusive, or which I’ve only applied briefly whenever they’ve periodically sunk in, usually following a crisis of my own making. I’ve been strongly compelled to take things more determinedly this time; hoping for something to guide my final years to be the best yet and to fulfill my purpose in existence. The spark is definitely there! Look forward to traveling with you.
September 24, 2023 at 2:16 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: What do you expect from the lesson? What do you desire to achieve from it? #331468PaulParticipantA strengthening of hope that there is something beyond religion that explains what the meaning of life is, that brings purpose and also the tools to gradually change in the desired direction.
