Intellectually, I get the meaning of become like the creator by changing my intention to be aligned with the creator and I’ll achieve equivalence of form. But I don’t really feel it. I can say the words, but to me they are empty if I don’t feel what they mean. I want to study Kabbalah not to learn it intellectually, but truly feel the creator and to join with Him. Organized religion, and other esoteric teachings, turned me off because it was just memorization and rituals that didn’t connect me with the Creator. Even science couldn’t help.
This is why I have committed to studying Kabbalah because of the promise that this will connect me with the Creator using a scientific method and clear understanding.
The teaching I have so far has made me aware that what I thought I was doing for others, really was for myself. How do I change that intention so that it is truly for others?
Tony Kosinec has a way of explaining the desire and how the feeling of fulfillment at first causes pleasure, and then disappears as the need, or desire, goes away, that I can understand because of the way he teaches. He and the other instructors I’ve listened to so far have caused me to want to learn more about Kabbalah because they explain it in a way that makes sense to me. Not some mystical or esoteric nonsense that I can’t understand.
I get how eating a big steak is pleasurable at first, but by the time you finish eating it, it no longer gives me pleasure. But it makes it clear to me also that the need, or desire to eat steak will not just go away because a day or more later I’ll want to eat another steak. That need is not truly fulfilled. It keeps coming back.
Hi, I’m Tom Hughes from South Carolina in the United States, and I am a student of Kabbalah. It is exciting to be a part of learning from authentic Kabbalah teachers. God knows I need their help.
When my perception of reality is good, then everything and everyone is good. But, when my perception of reality is bad, then everything and everyone is bad. And my perception varies between these two extremes based on how I feel, the weather, the attitudes of others, etcetera. My egoistic desire filters out the true reality. This I have learned already from studying Kabbalah, and now I want to study more to learn the truth about how nature works and why I am here.
