Hello from Chicago,
I have been studying kabbalah for a while and want to learn Hebrew in the context of kabbalah.
I am inspired by all of the people learning Kabbalah with me from around the world. It is truly multicultural and I love reading all of the responses from teachers and students. I learned to be more patient with others and myself. This is a journey not a destination. I will continue to learn and hopefully change/grow. I wish all of my fellow students fulfillment and growth in their spiritual development. I hope you also meet other people in your life willing to learn and grow.
Can you see a difference in a person’s reaction to things going wrong or in their emotional state if they have attained a state of perfection? I am trying to change and be more altruistic and bestowing pleasure but I seem to always fall back into the same old habits and bad emotions. How can I really change everything about my attitude and emotional state just through study and prayer?
We can get in touch with the upper force through interacting with others and with G-d in a mutual way. I imagine prayer and studying Torah or Kabbalah will help us to get in touch with the upper force or G-d. Having relationships with other people can also help us get in touch with the upper force since the upper force resides in all of us.
I think John Lennon said it well in his song, Imagine. I hope someday we can join the Creator and the world will live as one. I hope I’m not the only one. We all have the same desires for connection and love. I wish for all of us a connection to the Creator, an end to egoism and the ability to share the light or bestow light/love to others.
What if you don’t get the least desires fulfilled? My mother rejected me and I was raised by my grandmother. I have never been loved in any meaningful way by other people. I have desires for love, friendship and marriage but I never felt loved ever. How can I continue to spiritual fulfillment without first getting my basic needs met?
