Hi, I was particularly struck by the statement that after 1995 the way in which people correct changed. I have learned from past lessons that our individual “discovery” of Kabbalah is not happenstance. As we learn more about Kabbalah, and begin putting the learning into practice, does this create a situation where increasing numbers of other people also “discover” Kabbalah? Best, Tom

It seems that I can entertain in my mind a choice between the two. I can envision attributing the decision to myself and alternatively to the Creator. However, with knowledge from the lesson I learn to only focus on attributing the decision to the Creator. My question concerns that thought of attributing the decision to myself. Is that thought the doubt that was spoken about in the lesson? Thank you, Tom

What is brought by the intention in the incoming light may be perceived as bad/evil since we are only looking from the perspective of our desire to receive. What role does our response to these bad/evil things play? For example on an individual level, if we are attacked physically is self defense an appropriate response? It would seem to be since it might be the only response that allows us to later reflect on the intention? I suppose my question comes down to trying to understand how our decisions in the material world connect with trying to understand the intention.
November 29, 2022 at 1:48 pm EST in reply to: Preparation Question: To what perception of reality do we want the study of Kabbalah to lead us? #305306TomParticipantTo a reality as unfiltered as possible. I imagine this to be perceiving reality without forcing my perception into a category I have already defined.
