I realize I have no understanding -I don’t even understand if I have entered this course with the right intention, maybe I only entered it out of fear of death. The ego can be so sly, I wish to know how to pray for understanding but I realize I don’t know how to pray, because prior to studying Kabbalah was I spiritually dead?

I try to pray the Ana Bekoach because I feel I don’t know how to do a ‘regular’ prayer anymore, so I thought, maybe I just need to say this prayer, but when I try, I just inexplicably cry and not with tears of joy. In fact, as I continue on in this course, I keep feeling emotional, like I will never have understanding, nor altruism.
