It seems that the egoism that erupted in the time of Abraham, in order to start us on a new phase of evolution, has been causing problems ever since ! I m guessing that the new upsurge in levels of egoism right now is signalling that we are nearing the end of that phase?  And – it will only complete if we are able to make that step up, I m guessing to a new level of connection/AdamHaRishon.
Einstien said we cant resolve a problem at the same level as the one where it was created.
And I think Rav Leitman says its the Kabbalists who lead the way ? Uho !
Dear Gianni and friends,
On a more personal level, I m finding the opposite of closer connection to several people in my life right now.
I feel less desire to be in contact with people who seem inconsiderate. Is this something I need to look at within myself- where I am inconsiderate ? Or, in fact, is it a sign of greater discernment ?
In the past, I have found that sometimes I ve had to let go of something completely before there is room for something better to enter my life. To be clear, I have had to abandon a different spiritual path, judging it for its own worth, without knowing what would come next, before I found the Kabbalah.
Does the same rule apply to both sets of circumstances?
HI Gianni & friends,
Question 1) I m wondering about the “Desire to be like the Creator” , Julian said ” to want the status of the Creator”. That is – to be like G-d , and my question is – isn’t that Ego-ic, it sounds like there may be a competative edge ?
Question 2) Alternatively, since the Creator is Endless Light, the Ultimate One-ness, is there possibly a step missing, ( ie:- Adam HaRishon ) since its roughly the same as a person with this desire seeking to become obliterated, absorbed into One-ness.  Surely it would only be possible to become ( part of ) the Creator, since to be LIKE Him would still to be separate, which in fact isnt possible.  .
I kinda like the description of “being in the womb”.
Right now, it s good to have a space of warmth & safety, not having to worry about what is coming, but just absorbing what comes through the Umbilical cord – which is, I guess, the ultimate connection needed for the growth of a human being . Just absorbing the nutrition and love which is the basis of learning the way of the heart – having first received the experience.
From here, all the rest can flow.
Like my fellow s on this journey, “There is none else but Him”, is a huge shift for me, that has changed how I understand the events that happen in my life. It allows me to receive the wonder around me in the most ordinary things. And when I see that things have come to me deliberately, I look for the lesson, which is a more healthy reaction than getting annoyed or upset was.
The other thing was how I began to view my interactions with people differently, and I look forward, in the coming course, to growing in how to do this with more awareness & consistency. Its gonna be a great ride, guys, I look forward to sharing it with you all !
From the previous 2 courses:-  that kabbalah is the receiving of G-ds wisdom, that we are in a set system, and all we can do is change our way of looking at things. So we know all is pre-ordained, and our free-will relates to changing our understanding , so we can see the roots from which our experience has come, and welcome it as a chance to move up in spiritual understanding.
In this course :-  To understand Kabbalah as a science, so I can experiment with what I experience when I change my perspective. I am really looking forward to learning how to pray effectively.
