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.
I expect that the teachers here will tell me the truth about kabbalah. What do I desire to achieve: I have been searching for what I call my place in spirituality for a long time. I’ve been in several ‘wrong places’ so maybe this will be different. Kabbalah is very new to me. At this point I just want to keep learning.
Hi all. I’m Rosie. I’m a grandma – about to become a – great-grandma. I’ve had a lot of experience with religion, mostly bad. The worst was being stuck in a cult for many years. The one thing that’s always been true in me is my search for true spirituality. After I clawed my way out of the cult, my most fervent prayer was, “God, don’t let me be fooled.” I’ve had some wonderful personal spiritual experiences after deep heartfelt prayers to what I believe is a loving, caring God. I’ve been learning how to read tarot and oracle cards. My practice involves sincere prayer before I pull any cards to make sure my intentions are pure and that I ask for correct guidance. I believe my present state of mind led me to have a very surprising dream a few days ago. I don’t remember the whole dream, but I remember the message at the end – “Kabbalah is not a religion. It’s a way of life.” This came through loud and clear in a way that I could never forget. I swear, this came right out of the ‘blue.’ So, here I am. I’ve never watched a video, read a book, or read an article on kabbalah. I’ve only heard about this in past celebrity news bites and such. My only reaction was, ‘hmm, that’s interesting.” I’m here to find out if I’ve been called to learn and/or experience kabbalah. Right now, I feel like a wounded soul trying to heal. I’m happy to be here and I wish all of you the best on your journey.
