I’m so excited to be a part of something larger than myself, something that seems so crucial to the world and potentially deeply healing to myself as well. I hope that I can continue along the path of understanding how to correctly relate to myself and others in a way that promotes peace, harmony and prosperity.
I’m naturally an other-focused person, though since studying Kabbalah I’ve come to realize how to properly embody my ego and use it in a society where the general force of “what is mine is mine, what is yours is your” rules.
This semester I hope to learn when it is appropriate or safe to engage with kabbalistic principles + practices, and with whom.
Is it possible to move between double and single concealment multiple times or is it like a one-way street?
What does it mean to view reality from the perspective of the Creator? This feels like a trick question but here are some points:
- To have an awareness of all that is connected with it
- To act harmoniously with the system
I wonder if nature can “view” or have a perception like me? Nature encompasses everything therefore I must be a part of nature. I can view, feel and make meaning about things and I can learn about the still, Vege and animate but I know hardly anything about the greater truth of existence. I receive everything from this upper force, yet it can only be observed indirectly via its consequences.
Over several months frustration has been building that’s connected to how limited my perception is. I feel like I’m completely blind and alone fumbling in the dark. I deeply yearn for a spiritual environment and a family of people who can be in a reciprocal relationship with me that’s decorated with love. I live alone and study psychology and statistics at the University of Auckland. My question is this; how can I start building a spiritual environment now? I find myself in a depressive slump – I wish that I can change to be molded into what I think I need to be to reach my goals in life but I don’t know if what I’m doing is right and I’m struggling to be consistent. Some advice or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated, thank you
I come back to this lesson again and again, so this time I’ll share a personal reflection on the statement “There is none else besides Him”:
When I’m reminded of this statement, I feel peace, reassurance, awe and reverence. When I consider more deliberately “There is none else besides Him” I’m reminded of how limited our human senses are. There is so much happening in the world that is beyond my comprehension and imagination never is quite the same as a visceral experience. What’s inside me is part of the network too. I want to know more about what substance (or quality?) binds this all together in a way that lasts.
