Freedom is when we no longer respond to and caught by the lures of the ordinary reality

[Yelena]

“A person bears no responsibility for external or internal actions, including our doubts and descents”. I understand the context but it very hard to internalize. It is also hard to imagine the meaningful and appropriate internal process when it happens

[Yelena]

I feel the sensation of complete coherence when I contemplate this phrase

[Yelena]

I expect to grow in understanding, feeling and action

[Yelena]

This is the remarkable material. What I observed about myself and worked with is the ego-driven excitement and frustrations, i.e. I had to work with the fact that the material is fluid as it comes and then goes in terms of my SEEING it, understanding and feeling. On the other hand, I was able to relax into not judging myself for the imperfections as this is clearly not helpful in terms of my spiritual growth, and was an entirely new experience.

I NOW think that we have to immerse ourselves in the wisdom of Kabbalah offered here, I feel it working on me. I have to pay attention. Although I always paid attention to the quality of my deeds, feelings and thoughts and struggled with their imperfection,  I am seeing now that the struggle for “perfection of feelings and conduct” is not completely constructive. I have to let something else, more natural and organic to take seed and emerge.
