Trying to understand the spiritual root of reality

[Brendan]

What most inspired me in the course?

The whole course was really inspiring, but the most inspiring thing for me was the feeling I received in prayer with 9 other participants. I felt like a bowl of water that had a been filled well beyond to the point of overflow, it was so powerful! I also have seen myself really change during the time that it took me to take this course, which was the second most inspiring thing!

What have I learned about myself in the process?

I have learned that the being pulled by the ego when approaching spirituality is a normal thing, and that ego really works hard to stop me from connecting with others. Gaining the strength of will to overcome it is the goal to eventually attain adhesion with the Creator, via the middle line. I learned that a lot of things I experienced were a normal part of this transformation process.

What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development?

I truly wish that they can ascend spiritually to achieve the Thought of Creation, finding the ultimate truth and joy.

Hi I’m Brendan, I have always wanted to find the meaning of life and discover my purpose. Finding my Creator and understanding His plan for me is of prime importance in that journey. Understanding the Zohar has recently become a new fascination for me in this journey. Looking forward to finding out more.

This was the most practical and concise way to bring all the elements of the course together. Thank you!

I find it very new and insightful to know now that my wife and myself are two halves of one soul. I am guessing that this goes back to Adam and Eve, as I have referred to all men making half of Adam Harishon, and women making the other half. I never thought about it on the micro level like this though. It makes perfect sense though. I enjoyed learning about concessions as well, a new perspective on things. My next question would be that if one partner is making all of the concessions, wouldn’t that make it difficult for the other to match the spiritual progression alongside ours?

I think that we would live in a world of opposites. Perhaps everyone would be fighting over taken care of one another instead of taking advantage of one another. People would be giving instead of taking.
