I can amplify my connection with the illuminating force of the light by studying the writings of authentic Kabbalists, by noticing the appearance and impact of the ego inside of my relationships, by adopting an attitude of altruism, and by participating in an environment of like-minded, spiritually oriented people who are also working with the teachings and practises of Kabbalah.
If the ultimate goal is for everyone to reach equivalence of form with the Creator, then my role is to follow the path of Kabbalah, in the context of a group of like-minded, spiritually-oriented people. In this way, I can be an agent of bestowal, like the Creator, and have positive impact on those close to me, and the world at large.
To transition from a self-centred, egoic orientation to one grounded in altruism, I must come to the point, through my study of Kabbalah, where my craving for the Creator exceeds my desire to fulfill my personal ego. As I become more and more equivalent in form to the Creator, His quality of bestowal will bring about a natural orientation towards altruism.
I intend to learn the practical tools that will empower and enable me to apply the wisdom of Kabbalah in ways that will make an actual difference in my life, in the lives of those around me, and in my relationship to the Creator.
I gained many insights into the nature of what it is to be a human being on this spiritual journey. Understanding that we descended from the level of the Creator and are climbing back up the ladder and will ultimately return to the Creator is both reassuring and gives a sense of purpose to life.
Also, seeing that the seemingly negative experiences in life are actually orchestrated by the Creator as the means of overcoming the ego has been a revelation! I am, as a result, less judgemental with myself and others, knowing that a correction is possible as I apply the principles of Kabbalah to my life.
This leads to my intention for this course: to learn to apply the concepts and techniques that arise out of Kabbalistic teachings to my life for the purpose of correction, leading to spiritual advancement.
