What do you imagine a Kabbalah Gathering with 1000’s of points in the heart feels like?
Feels like love is in the air connecting the souls in harmony, learning from each other and revealing the upper force.
Desire to grasp the books with the help of the teacher, sensing victory by correction of the egos. Feeling peace and elevation within.
Preparation Question: How is spreading the wisdom of Kabbalah related to fulfilling my private correction in the general system?
Kabbalah focuses on understanding the nature of God, creation, and the human soul. It seeks to provide deeper insights into the mysteries of the universe and offers a framework for understanding the relationship between God, humanity, and the world.
Kabbalistic teachings involve complex symbolic systems, such as the Tree of Life, which represent different aspects of the divine and the soul’s journey. It explores concepts like the sefirot (divine emanations), the soul’s connection to God, the purpose of existence, and the role of free will.
Kabbalah also places importance on personal spiritual growth and self-improvement. It emphasizes the practice of meditation, prayer, and contemplation to deepen one’s connection with the divine and elevate the soul. The correction is a process involving the effect of the Upper Light on us. It is not a process of restriction by coercion. Kabbalah activates the power of the Creator— it is not an oppressing force from the outside. Therefore, when we receive more and more strength from Above, it opens up the channels for greater desires, which can then be corrected and used appropriately.
The wisdom of Kabbalah allows a person to reveal The Creator whilst living in this world. It allows a person to break free from the narrow confines of this world and break into the spiritual reality that we are currently sensing.
By ascending spiritual degrees, we discover a world of goodness and perfection, the opposite of the world that we currently perceive.We do not reach such an ascent all at once. We come to it only after a gradual process of development that begins with a seed, a desire that has an impression from our deepest spiritual root, which must be nourished properly until it grows into a tree that bears the fruit we will harvest: the attainment of the spiritual world of wholeness and tranquility. In order to reap that bounty, our optimum spiritual growth requires the influence of a spiritually supportive and encouraging society.
We humans hold similarities to a tree in that we depend completely on our environment. The difference between us and the tree is that we can move ourselves to a new environment if our current one is harmful, while the tree cannot. Therefore, the first and most important phase of our spiritual development is the recognition of good and evil in our surroundings.Each of us must perform a self-scrutiny and an examination of who surrounds us to determine whether we are placed in a fertile field, one that will help us advance toward our higher goal of fulfillment above the base earthly level, or whether we’re in poor soil, which distances us from that exalted purpose.We can reach the desired state when we attain nature’s qualities of love, bestowal and connection. However, such a goal requires us to ascend above our egoistic nature—our narrow, short-sighted lens through which we try to exploit everything and everyone for our own advantage—and acquire an opposite, loving and giving nature where we positively connect to each other. To do so, we need not correct other people. We only need to correct ourselves. Correction is marked by a change in our attitude toward others, and until we make this shift, the wider, harmonious reality where we are all positively connected will continue to be concealed from us. We currently fail to see this reality where love and bestowal dwells between us because we perceive ourselves and our surrounding world according to our inner egoistic qualities, When we will change our approach from receiving to giving, we will discover the upper, spiritual world—a world of love, bestowal and positive connection—and suddenly see a new level of existence, one in which everyone experiences balanced, positive and harmonious connections.
What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected..
To connect with others means to be in the womb of the creator, with the desire to rid my self of my ego and to acquire the quality of bestowal also with the desire to connect and reveal the creator .
Preparation Question: What does it mean to shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal?
as human beings without vessels of bestowal a person can’t perceive bestowal. Whenever we strive to build this desire, our bodies fight us, because our default setting is to receive pleasure only for own benefit which is our ego.
but when we Attain spirituality we develop a sense of the Upper World, the thought of Creation manifested as the light of the Creator. This goal depends on a properly formed group of people aimed towards unity, oneness and love.When we achieve spirituality, we awaken the light and our perception is shaped by our ability to “love thy friend as thyself.”
and hence we manage to replace the egoistic sensory organs within us with altruistic ones, we are able to experience the upper world, that is, the reality perceived in the new sensory organs built on bestowal and connection.
Preparation Question: Starting a new course in Kabbalah is similar to a fetus moving on to a new trimester. The warm and fulfilling womb is still the same, but the desire and needs of the future human are evolving. Before we start the first week let’s set our expectations. How do we want the womb (Light) to influence and evolve us? What do we desire to achieve in this semester?
I would want the creator to guide and enlighten us all to connect with it so to understand his will for our lives. To correct our egos and to connect with those he wills.
In this semester to study, follow the teacher, to connect with fellow students, to overcome the drawbacks and start a new chapter in my life according to his will.
What was my best experience from the previous course? What do I expect from this course?
The best was to realize that shattering of my ego was meant for my correction and I no more complain but am grateful to all who played their roles in it and most of all grateful to the source.
Well have high hopes to learn the kabbalist studies practically and improve my life and that of others.
