The realization that self-interest (ego) has taken us far but now we see it has led to self-destruction and therefore has taken humanity as far as it can. The shift the wisdom enlightens us to make is not to repress self-interest but to master, transform, and transcend toward shared-interest through intention. Nothing new needs to be done other than to consider that desiring anything that only serves the self while harming another is an uncorrected desire that ultimately moves all of humanity toward destruction.
I expect to wake up each morning with the strong desire to study Kabbalah and now to progress internationally.
The best takeaway was how each week I felt as though something within was being unlocked by virtue of an unusual motivational wisdom Kabbalah provides. I expect to continue corrections within myself as we grow and evolve together.
What inspired me the most was our cohort of students who consistently show up and their dedication to the Creator and each other.
This week has been difficult for me in terms of the study itself. In fact, I have become triggered in a sense and experienced moments of despair last night over the study itself. Something in me rose up and protested greatly; perhaps it is all the talk of Satan and loving our neighbor that created an uprising within. I became aware that all I seem to do is give and give and give and give and give. And here I am taking a course telling me that all I do is receive. I became so angry with myself and honestly feel like a complete fool. Why am I learning to receive in order to give when all I do is give and give and give? I’m in a state of complete rejection of this teaching and I desperately need help.
