I do not know how to feel that the entire reality is of the G-d. My intellect has always had me believing the truth of this but I have never felt it within my heart… however my whole life has been about trying to connect with this on a deeply personal level and I think this is why I have come to study Kabbalah.

What do I expect from this course? #382450Philip Iyov EcksParticipantI too have had “points of light” guiding me throughout my life and I believe that all have led me here to KabU and the study of Kabbalah. I wish for you to have a deepening and wonderful experience in your studies.
Shalom

What do I expect from this course? #382449Philip Iyov EcksParticipantMy best experience from the first semester is that I am not alone in my desire to discover the true meaning of life. That there is a large community of people, most I have noticed are around my age, who deeply desire to become one with the creator and like me are looking for the methodology that can achieve this state of being. As I move forward in the study of Kabbalah I expect to see and learn and feel more of the same excitement I acquired from the first semester.
Shalom.
Philip Iyov EcksParticipant1) The idea that I do in fact have some control over the life I live here, that it is not simply a live of misery and hell, that there is a way in which I can grow and evolve beyond that which I have been since my birth into this reality, and that is the awakening of the “point in the heart”, that guides one to desire something more than what we presently have and understand.
2) That despite the idea that I have a level of knowledge and understanding, I still however know nothing at all and that the acquisition of the wisdom of the G-d is still very distant for me. However I have learned that all this ugly ego within me can be changed into alturism if I only choose to do what is neccesary to make those changes within myself.
3) The fact that there are many people looking for and coming to Kabbalah has inspired me because I have the same motivations as all the other follks who are investigating Kabbalah and I certainly wish that each of us as an individual, but more importantly as a community of beings, can discover and achieve the equivalence of form with one another and with the Creator.
July 26, 2024 at 8:06 pm EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: How can we get in touch with the upper force and act with it mutually? #382439Philip Iyov EcksParticipantOf course we must reach a point where we have achieved the equivalence of form with the creator and have cleaved ourselves unto him.

The same process of bestowel from the creator to each of us is what we each need to do here in this world with those around us. Can this be acomplished by our interactions with anyone or do we look for those who are involved in the same processes. Can we advance in this with any other being or do we need to be a part of a community where all indiviuals are working in the same endeavour. Kabbalah is said to be the science of connection, but connection with whom specifically?
