What most inspired me in the course? Many things have inspired me: Learning about the point in the heart and that being the desire for closeness to the Creator, that Kabbalah teaches us to receive “not for me” but for the Creator and the 4 phases of direct light.
What have I learned about myself in the process? I have learned that by being in the classes and coming back to the Kabbalah classes, after a long pause, that I have a desire to know more about the Creator and that is because I want to be closer to Him. I have learned to embrace that because everything we do is predetermined, which I think is very important, although I do not know why at this point.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development? I wish that my fellow students that they will continue in their classes and studies. And that, if they should stop their studies for any reason, to make it a point to always return.

It is with my sincere intention that you will come to learn, understand and experience what is to be taught in this week’s lesson about the 4 phases of direct light and the sefirot. I would like for you to know with certainty that we are all One soul, even though the ego tells us the opposite. One way I think we can rebuild the collective soul is to learn and embrace Kabbalah teachings. We can become a vessel for the light by following the path of Torah (Light) as the other one, the path of suffering and pain is slow and long.
That everything that happens in the corporeal world (the one we are in) stems from the Upper World. And I read in Kabbalah for the Student that it is referred to as “the order of descent of the worlds.” There is also the way from below upwards in the exact same way from above, which is the attainments or degrees. It’s like taking steps up a ladder.
