Following the lessons and reading the texts was a pleasure, causing me to dream one night about the names of the Creator. I learned how everything comes from the Creator, there is only One. However, I used to have a more personal, maybe somewhat childish relationship with G_d. Kabbalah changed my concept of the G_d into a much more distant Creator. I hope I’ll find this more intimate relationship with a personal Creator back again.
Although I already saw most of the material on YouTube (including the six-hour course by Tony) the course gave me more insight in the Kabbalah way of thinking about reality.
I have learned to accept both the positive and negative aspects of my life as gifts from the Creator, although this keeps my mind busy.
I hope to meet some of my fellow students this weekend, I am looking forward to the retreat and hope we’ll have a great time together, sharing our tiny sparks into a new growing light.
Freedom means to have a choice, now kabbalah teaches that man has no free choice but that the Creator gives him good and bad, maybe freedom is to learn to accept everything one gets as the bestowal of the Creator, the good and the bad (as one feels it). I hope the light will help me to understand and feel this.
The best experience was the sudden revelation of insight into how the creator/artist inserts his intentions and emotions in his work and desires to see the user enjoy his work and, through his work, discover his emotions and intentions. I could connect with this idea based on my own daily life.
What most inspired me in the course?
I had watched a lot of it already on youtube, so it was not new.
What have I learned about myself in the process?
I realized how the intention of the maker is part of the object he created. how the maker/artist wants the user/receiver to discover his intention.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development?
feel deeply, and discover truly how to find kabbalah in real life.
