The gorilla. This manipulation mechanism of reality perception wasn’t something I was aware of. Interesting.
I’m Rosie. I just turned 70 in August. I’m a grandmother to several beautiful children. And my first great grandchild was born this year. February 22nd, the same day my son died of cancer the year before. Life goes on. Hoping to learn something beyond the fundamental religious beliefs forced on me growing up.
Individually, or as a group? For me… learning kabbalah… I don’t really don’t have a clear answer yet. All I can say is I am hoping I am learning more of the truth of reality. The concept of their being more to reality than what I have lived in for all these years… intrigues me. I am looking for truth. If there is a reality that I am entitled to see but need to show genuine effort to see, then I’m firmly here to learn.
As a group, I believe that we are all connected in some way. And I hope that as a whole we can all some day generate more, a eality of love in our world than what I see happening everyday in the news… I wish people would come to understand and embrace our connection to the point where the priority in this world is to care for one another… not hurt, deprive, or to make war.
I like the phrase “There’s an answer to all your questions” that the instructors here said more than once. That’s a comfort. I was brought up in a religion that didn’t answer my questions. In fact, expected me to believe a ‘divine mystery.’ That never made any sense to me. I was born with a brain that wants answers not fairy tales. It makes sense that ‘answers’ are out there. As precise and on time that all nature around us operates from, I just can’t believe in mysteries anymore. Kabbalah came to me in a dream with this phrase, “Kabbalah is not a religion. It is a way of life.” Well, it can be if one chooses it to be I guess…. This was said so strongly in my dream I woke up right after it and remembered it. (And I rarely remember my dreams). The thing is, I’ve NEVER looked into kabbalah before – not a book, article or even a conversation with anyone about it. But, I have had so many questions. Especially after being severely spiritually abused inside a religious cult.
I like the history, the lineage of kabbalah. That gives me comfort knowing I am learning something that isn’t some drummed up new fangled something. I like that it’s not a religion because I want to stay as far away from any religion as I can get. I just want answers. So, that’s why I’m here.
