Thanks so much … thatś helping a lot 🙂 Just one last thing… whatś the difference between a spark and the light then… ? (Q2) And again… thanks a lot :-)))
Hi, I have got three  questions. I hope itś ok to ask, because it is kind of bothering me to get a proper feeling and learn.
1. I understand that we dwell in a place of darkness, being in this world.  However, I am wondering, as everything that has been created, before it was shattered, was part of the „whole soul“, and started off in the light… does it still have a spark of light in it? All the inanimate,, animate, and speaking matter… from an overall perspective,.. does it still have any light in it when itś bound to this world?
2. I understand, we are surrounded by light, and I understand we are looking for it in the connection with friends,… like glue  that connects the shattered pieces, is that right? Is this light in its quality different to the light within the beings of different degrees (inanimate/vegetative/animate/speaking) ? And can we actually connect to our own spark  or to other sparks of light? (If there is one) Or can we only perceive that „glue“ , the light that reveals in the connection towards others?
3. I have understood that the absence of light, this darkness around us or also within us, is kind of „natural“ for being in this world, and that learning Kabbalah  offers an invitation to grow beyond this. I also understand (and feel) that pain between these alternate states …  light and darkness …(well, more darkness for now…) ,  and I absolutely feel the switches to be extremely unpleasant,… . However so far I discovered two seemingly contradictory ways to deal with it. One is to accept that itś a developmental stage, and try to grow from there, the other one is to  call it „bad“ and „evil“ and try to overcome it. I am not trying to wriggle myself out of it, but I feel that darkness itself is hard enough to cope with, so I am wondering what the idea of „evil inclination“ is trying to teach us, and if judging ourselves here is helpful and to which degree (thinking about that idea that in a way we are like children trying to learn… I wonder if it really helps if we put ourselves down for our will to receive…after all, thatś what we are.)
This course made me feel that beyond the knowledge the wisdom can really induce a remarkable change … following up the two “keys” that I have been trying to find (trying not succeeding) for a very long time… love and connection. Therefore, I am really thankful, whichever way the further journey will take me.  I understand it starts with a point in the heart, so let´s see what will grow out of that seed.
There are so many things in all this course, so anyways, the picture of the two forces (push and pull), the right and left side of the path, and the idea to start growing within a group caught me… so I am happy to get to a practical level.
Well, everything would be different… because whatever concern one would have, it would be everyone`s concern. Shared responsibilities, shared connection, shared points in the heart. Thus, working towards the best possible solution for everyone rather than for oneś own benefit would become possible. Less time and need for competition, less focus on gains and merits. But also the necessity to find new purpose.
The fact that connection is so „easily“ achieved among people from all over the world… by connecting from the heart, by opening up, by just allowing that feeling of love, that is touching… I mean,… just thinking of this and then compare it to how people treat each other in daily life. Itś such a ressource to take that leap.
