There was a moment when thru study of Kabbalah I realized that not one person place or thing could change the way the Creator loves me and for that matter everyone else. As long as I live to be pleased and to please the Creator alone nothing stands between that love and nothing can or will ever change it. I was unexpectedly RIFd after 17 years before retirement age last week at a time when I had put my house on the market preparing for a change I sensed was coming and at the same time travelling far from home to stay with my daughter who is recovering from a car accident. Literally I am suspended in midair – and I am not afraid. I am not planning worrying or freaking out-rather I am seeing how a new life has been given to explore. If not for Kabbalah if not for the creators love that remains ever present I am certain my reaction would be much different.

What most inspired me in this semester was the self similar fractal nature of the tree of life-how it contains itself. In addition to have an explanation for the hidden nature of Kabbalah and the creator itself answered lifelong question for me. the course also explained why earlier civilizations as in Moses time were in deeper connection with nature and therefore enjoyed an interactive connection with the creator. Before taking the course I wondered why God seemed to disappear and go silent, yet I was supposed to believe there was a time when this was not so without any explanation. This point had been a stumbling block for me in regard to my belief that a creator did indeed exist. Now I find this doubt has been erased. What have I learned about myself in the process is that I have received some forms of spiritual truth over the course of a life of seeking that aligns with much of what I have learned so far in this course but it came to me from no where and I could not explain it. For example, the concept that self-actualization can bridge between what the precarious reality and an age of consciousness having the qualities of spontaneous order, self similarity and unity and others.  Kabbalah is an answer to my prayer for scientific truth that I can rely on to evolve in spiritual light and consciousness.
I wish my fellow students receive every wish they desire for their spiritual development as they ascend the tree of life deepening their bond with the almighty creator.

Considering the importance of group study for Kabbalists I regret that I’ve missed many study group calls and faq because I’ve been traveling and the time zone conversion is impacting my availability to join. Is it possible to send a google meeting invitation instead of a zoom link in what’s app? Google meet automatically converts the time. Alternatively if the meeting times are consistent and the link doesn’t change for each type of meeting we could create calendar reminders ourselves. Id love to know if others are struggling with this aspect of the course as I am.

With relentless intense desire and longing we humbly ask knowing the connection will come when we are ready to receive it fully.

While I was thinking of my question I may have answered it but will ask it anyway. suppose I am doing work I do not enjoy or working with people I do not enjoy exposed to a toxic boss – someone who has harmed people I care about and who threatens my stability with each interaction. This is the opposite of the friend who has made a feast comprising of all my favorite things. How do I correct the feeling of dread within me and transform it into the will to bestow?

When I contemplate the divine spark in our dear collective I am reminded of the sacred torus in motion. May our exchange continually embody and expand the  collective presence within the abiding ineffable Bestowal.
