It’s like the Rav says, if this is our point of view, then internality and externality are exchanging places. But above this, we are being brought into a view of reality, and it is to make contact with reality that a Kabbalist aspires to. The reality of the Creator.
My best experience from the previous course were the interactive lessons and being tested on them. The tests help me get the fundamentals right, so that I do not bring early misconceptions into the study, which can be a serious impediment to progress.
I expect to build further on the fundamentals in this course and expand my knowledge of the basics of Kabbalah. I am especially looking forward to the section on Free Will.
I was inspired by how well this course covered the basics of Kabbalah, including immediately addressing what makes Kabbalah different from other ways of thinking that we may perhaps confuse Kabbalah with. I learned that I descended from complete connection with the Creator in the spiritual to my present state, and my spiritual work is to use the wisdom of Kabbalah to understand my present state, and how to ascend back up to union with the Soul of Adam HaRishon using the principle of Equivalence of Form to reconnect with the Creator. I wish my fellow students focus on developing their spiritual environment, so their ego does not throw them off track during their spiritual development, and the process of awakening becomes more self-sustaining.
By restricting our Kli, our desire. This is the first step necessary for getting in touch with the Upper Force.
