The goal of studying is to enter spirituality, perceive the Creator and work our way along the path to that place we descended from, and to once again have equivalence of form with the Creator.
It takes conscious effort because I feel so separate from Him, and everything I see around me seems so separate and of itself. I have to begin to feel a connection with everything and everyone and understand that we are all one, his creation.
Stopping to think in the middle of an event or difficult encounter to think about the Creator’s intention for me. I hope to be able to develop this ability instead of reacting from a place of fear and negativity.
I feel I have only understood and learned a tiny amount of this wisdom but I am inspired by the statements that I do not need to understand everything perfectly, I can progress simply by trying to understand, by just reading and immersing myself in the teaching. In the process I have felt certain that the wisdom of kaballah is the right path, the only path that will provide me with answers to life’s most profound questions.
I wish for all my fellow students to learn and understand a little more each day and to keep going even when they don’t feel that they are.
I’ve read a lot of stuff over decades about the Tree of Life and the sefirot and Gil’s “Made Simple’ lesson here blew all that away as well as my mind. It was an Aha moment for me. Finally something that sounds real and makes complete sense in every way. Also – seeing how much of this information gets misinterpreted because people insist on applying it to corporeal matter. It has changed my way of looking at the texts.
