I think the biggest change would be in our intention towards other people. We would approach all situations with an awareness of our impact on others and a desire to benefit them first. If people approach life with this intention, all needs will be met, and we will be able to thrive as both individuals and a species.
Truthfully, I don’t know what this looks like at this point. I understand that we are to be there for the friends in their spiritual development but I don’t know how personal this arrangement will be or what it entails.
Will we be discussing things which we are encountering in our everyday lives or restricting our discussions to kabbalistic texts? How much of our time, energy and attention will be committed to the group work? I’m excited to find out more but also a little concerned that I won’t be able to do a good job of it with a very busy work and family life. I will do my best.
By studying authentic kabbalistic texts within a group of other KabU students and with the guidance of a KabU instructor, we will accelerate our expansion.
Additionally, modifying other aspects of our environment might be useful. We could develop a disciplined study regimen and other healthy habits aimed at keeping the Creator and spiritual connection in mind as we go about our everyday life.
This question feels like a trap. I think that’s because Pure Altruism isn’t a quality of humans. There is no way for me to know “How” to be altruistic at the level of the mind. There are too many factors involved.
Altruism is a quality of the Creator. The best I can do is remove self-concern from the equation, choose to be altruistic and implore the Creator for guidance on how to proceed.
“Expectations” feels like such a strong word… My hope is that I will continue to get a better understanding of the Creator’s plan and of how I can assist in bringing it to fruition. It feels like Kabbalah will expedite this revelation.
This course may be an important step on the path. In general, I would like to keep moving towards completion of the Creator’s goal in a conscious and helpful manner. It feels like I am building a healthy relationship with Him. If this course assists in that, I will be satisfied.
Since beginning the Kabbalah Journey, I have been greatly impressed by the feelings of support and encouragement while studying at my own pace, the speed at which I have developed a healthy habit of daily study and an overall shift in perception which includes an awareness of the Creator’s participation in everyday life.
Throughout this semester, I hope to continue growing my knowledge and understanding of Kabbalah while at the same time developing a connection with other students.
