I really enjoyed Tony’s videos, and the huge amount of extra materials to dive into. Also the interactive program. Its fascinating to read the many different ways my fellow participants look at it all, too.
I don’t have any expectations of anything in particular. I know that Kabbalah has been around for thousands of years, and a dedicated group has been adding to the breadth of study all that time. So – there is everything to learn !
Yesterday, I wrote my response to the course, as per question.
And there is more. I have also taken in the idea that the world was created for us, & to give us delight.
I have long worked on my negative thoughts, but this realization has successfully completed this change. Acknowledging the intention behind the structure of my life has removed any negative thought. I now acknowledge the lessons to be learned through difficult situations, with the opportunity to correct my behaviours which had previously been on the path of pain. Obviously , this is an ongoing dialogue !
Also, it means I am receiving the offerings of others with much more awareness of the interaction, & the intentions behind it, the cycle of goodness in the giving, the receiving, and the response of the giver in hearing of the receiver’s joy. I have started to spell out all the acknowledgements to people, who love being acknowledged in this way. My change is clearly short of interacting with the Creator, but it is improving my relationships with people in our world.
Putting my 2 replies together shows me that I have made several real changes in my life, due to having done this course. I acknowledge KabU with deep gratitude for this, and I recognise that the Intention of KabU is to make a difference , at a spiritual level, in this world. This is doing G-d’s work, and is no small thing. Thank you, toda raba.
What felt the most important thing in the course, to me is the implication of the Point in the Heart. I have understood that we all come from the shattered soul of Adam Kadmon, and have descended into greater & greater egotism, which is the reason that humanity can now act in ways destructive to all life on the planet. For me it follows that there is an obligation to do my own part in reconnecting with others in peace, love & harmony, and to strive to find connection with the Creator, since working with the roots of the current crisis – may be the most effective way of making a difference in the branches.
The “Hundredth Monkey” theory, is that once a critical mass has been reached, there is a tipping point – an effect in the physical world/world of Malkut. In my opinion, the sudden upsurge in interest in Kabbalah is indicating that this is essential & the time is now.
First we start with the principle, “There is none else besides Him”, that everything is a part of the Creator, and then get together with a group of 10 Kabbalists (like the 10 Sephirot ) Then we can start to raise ourselves above the desire to receive only for oneself , and also to rise above the desire to remain individual in consciousness, but to desire to connect with each other, & to really seek each other s advancement . At first to practice within the group of 10, but also to bring that connection out into the world of others we find around us.
This way, we may manage the 1% it takes to get a foothold in the Spiritual world, & be of service in this world.
HI,  I m noticing that I m looking at small incidents in a very different way, & therefore seeing they may be corrections, or teachings.
For example, what I said before, about just being missed by the tree that fell across the road, just as I passed. I ve looked at this more deeply. If I d been 5 seconds further ahead, I wouldnt even have noticed as I d have been past it. Five seconds later, and my car would, at least, have been very badly dented, if not worse & I could have been seriously injured.
The way I see it now, it was deliberately designed, so I would absolutely KNOW that I had been protected,  & G-D, Heshem, had created this incident as a message for me. Would I be right in saying that – it was in looking back & examining this incident, that I allowed it to pass through the screen ? I wouldn’t use the word “Delight “, exactly, more that its shaken me, its humbling, something to be in awe of. And, it s hard to accept, to take it in, that such a thing really is part of this new dimension of life.
Have I understood right ?
