What most inspired me in the course? Everything I see on the outside is a reflection of the inside.
What have I learned about myself in the process? Everything that is bothering me/annoying me/making me upset in any shape or form, is a direct sign that I have work to do to improve myself.
What do I wish for my fellow students in their spiritual development? To find what they are looking for.
Kabbalah teaches that a person’s actions change the person himself. Are those actions considered Free Will?
True prayer is called self-judgment or self-analysis–when a person judges and analyzes himself with regard to the upper invariable force, rather than appealing to the Creator to change something. Is true prayer an act of Free Will?
We ask the Creator to change us, to change our perception so that we can understand Him, instead of asking the Creator to change His attitude towards us.
The Creator doesn’t listen to the words that we utter, but reads the feelings in our hearts. We must strive to understand the essence of our desires and to ask the Creator to correct them. Do those questions come out of our Free Will?I mean, what is the purpose of the creator to make it so complicated?
Reaching spiritual attainment when we don’t have fee will (but), we can’t perceive the root level (unless), etc. Intellectually I have the “illusion” that I understand what is being said in the course. My problem is the connection with the creator since my teenager years, and during the times when loved ones are being sick and dying. Especially in those times the DESIRE to connect is huge, and the DESIRE to heal my loved ones too. Yet, the prayers are not being answered.
In this lesson we learn that we have to choose the right Kabbalistic books, the right teacher and join a group with like minded people (our environment). Does this mean that ONLY through Kabbalah one can reach spiritual attainment?
Why is it that Kabbalah is NOT a religion? Talking about the Creator, and that ‘there is none else besides him’, sound like a Monotheistic religion to me.
Anyway, I see that we will take care of this question in Week 3.
