I feel I am starting to get an idea what faith above reason means. It’s beautiful, but also challenging… I am wondering about how simultaneously working in a spiritual society on the one handside and then also in daily life on the other will work out. I can sense it’s going to be intense and so many disrepancies to either overcome or integrate… I am getting the middle path is pretty much of an effort.
And I am wondering how that spiritual connectivity versus the egoistic separation will increase that sense of loneliness in being just a human individual … because in daily life the lab is limited, as in our human perception we are still limited so much …
October 2, 2024 at 3:18 pm EDT in reply to: Ask anything about week 3 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor. #391080VerenaParticipantHi, does faith above reason refer to connecting to the upper force or other points in the heart (or at least trying to do that) in spite of the reasoning of the ego, which may tell us not to do that because it’s a a calculation against the benefit for our ego? In contrast to faith below reason in religious practice, which simply tells us to believe in something that we do not attain? Is that the difference?
And if that‘s so, does that mean to live with 2 separate concepts at the same time when studying Kabbalah? Faith above reason for the spiritual group and reason for daily life? If yes, how to overcome the confusion arising with two concepts at the same time, and the increasing feeling of separation and loneliness in everyday life?

How do we amplify its transformative influence? #390646VerenaParticipantThrough friends who share the same goal, and through teaching… I am starting to understand how important that is…
September 29, 2024 at 7:43 am EDT in reply to: Preparation Question: The importance of clearly defining the goal in the study of Kabbalah is the beginning of the path. Once the goal is defined, you will continue to refine it to keep yourself perfectly aimed at the target. How would you currently define the goal for which you are studying? #390297VerenaParticipantI am intrigued by the fact that there is a form of spirituality that is focusing on connection and bestowal. I would really like to feel that way of being connected to nature, to mankind, to the creator…

And as they share the same intention, their energy will synergize… like forming „the same wavelength…” and this being on the same wavelength, hopefully means higher amplitudes of energy… well, at least I would hope itś kind of like that :-)… whether it also changes that energy I dońt know…
September 28, 2024 at 3:06 am EDT in reply to: What do you imagine humanity’s emergent form to be like? #390172VerenaParticipantItś hard to imagine thinking where we are now… :-)… although evolutionary jumps have happened before, so…in case it will happen, I think I would imagine it to to be like a mixture of the natives in the Avatar movie with that of a highly developed species from Star Trek. So, all interconnected, feeling the responsibility and love towards each other, and the connection to nature (the Avatar part) and thus creating a level of energy, energetic formations, we dońt understand yet (like in Star Trek). It would not just enhance our lives, it would really change them, therefore I would not just imagine it to be a prosperous version of humanity … it would be different.
