This can only be achieved through a community and environment composed of fellow learners. However, at present, we learners are merely scattered sporadically across various locations, connecting solely through the internet and brief retreats; I don’t know how we might amplify our transformative influence.

That entails that we can transform from an evil nature into a godly nature. All eight billion people could treat one another with humility and gentleness, for everyone shares a single Soul—that of Adam—living together in the Garden of Eden.

I hope I can learn to change my intention from egoism to altruism and truly “love your neighbor as yourself”.

[Alice]

My best experience was realizing that the concealment came from the Creator so that I could have a place to work above reason, that is, transcend from egoism to altruism by practicing “love your friend as yourself” and acquire the same quality as him.

I expect from this course, my prayer will become stronger that the Creator will hear me and reform me,.

Apples are sour and astringent before they ripen; yet, I cannot fault them for this, for it is part of the plan of the Upper Force who requires us to set aside our egos and participate in His work. I am grateful to my fellow students for the immense encouragement and inspiration they have brought me.

“Then, however, although there will be concealment, there will also be demand, and this is what is important—only the demand.”
