I really enjoyed the first two semesters of Kabbalahrevealed, as it has offered a foundation in knowledge and provided the tools necessary to begin deeper study into Kabbalah. I expect that this course will continue to develop and deepen my experience with Kabbalah study. For me these studies represent a methodology for working in spirituality as I endeavor to achieve equivalence of form with the G-d.

1) It is the simplicity of this Kabbalah study that has inspired me. All my life I have encountered religions and philosophies that had a great number of rules and methods to achieve the things they teach and in all cases I found endless contradictions. Kabbalah has but one goal, one method, one rule, “love thy neighbour as yourself”, beautiful!
2) That I am so far away from the goal and that the things in life I felt were important are simply not. There is much I need to unlearn as there is just as much to discover and the study of Kabbalah is showing me the path and the method to accomplish both. I have a lot of work to do.
3) I pray and wish for thier success so that in doing so I may also be elevated and learn how to grow with the other’s in a meaningful manner as we all progress towards ‘loving thy neighbour…’ and helping to complete the correction for all.
The Latin word Religare as I undertand it, is the root word for Religion and is defined as “to bind, to tie” or perhaps to re-unite, or cleaving unto. Religion has always seemed to me to be a methodology or life style that people lived in an effort to ‘bind’ or ‘tie’, or re-untie with the G-d. From this perspective can we say that Kabbalah is also a Religion in as much as that it is or seems so to be a methodology of life which is designed to assist one in re-uniting and cleaving unto the G-d, or to bind with or tie to, achieving equivalence of form with the Creator?

Since I was a boy, I have always felt that the purpose of this life was to search and discover the true wisdom of the G-d. In so doing I believed I would be able to transcend this world of illusion and find true freedom and peace through my discovery of what the G-d wills for me. If I could find this wisdom, and cleave unto the Lord, then I would be blessed to inherit the G-d’s creative nature and be permitted to participate in the G-d’s ongoing creation of existence and being. I have been learning through these studies in Kabbalah, that although I misunderstood much throughout this endeavor, some of the insight I seemed to have had, has lead me into the study of Kabbalah today. I have always felt that the world of spirit was the reality and the true way of living, while this horrible place was nothing short of hell. There is so much I need to un-learn, and so much more to learn, and I believe I have found the gateway to this wonderful end…Kabbalah!
Fascinating to learn that the correction of a soul can be accomplished in one lifetime. I have believed in this possibility since I was 13 years old. Despite what I was taught in Christian churches, I always felt that enlightenment and perfection in spirituality could be completed in a single lifetime. Very interesting indeed.
Shalom.
For me, freedom will be my cleaving to the creator. Once I can let go of this attachment to the material and embrace the will of G-d; becoming one with him, rising above my egoism and achieving a state of equivalence of form with the G-d, then my time in this material reality will conclude, I will no longer need to return here and this for me is true freedom.
Shalom
