The course inspired me to learn more about Kabbalah. During the past 5 weeks I have witnessed myself develop even more faith in the creator, the natural order of things and how life unfolds. I wish for my fellow students to recognize that the other person is them and a part of the whole. I believe this will bring more peace to fellow students and the world. My hope is for this awareness to be contagious.
As I watched the final video of week 5 about the equivalence of form, I felt a sense of understanding that is somewhat beyond words. You gave the example of the carpenter whose intention/blueprint is always felt in the table and chair he has built. I got a deep a-ha knowing about the equivalence of form from this example. I sense knowing/understanding/trusting the intention/blueprint of the creator is the key. I think about Bereshit in Genesis, and the repetition of the words about God creating the world “and God saw that it was good.” Again words are limited, yet I felt an understanding.
If god is all knowing, and I am more in alignment with God, I wish to have clarity when making decisions on my life path. I live in the corporeal world of survival and financial need. I desire to have a knowing of how/where to maneuver through opportunities, decisions and actions. I will give love and kindness to my fellow brothers and sisters. Yet, I want the study of Kabbalah to help me down here because I live down here and have to support myself and my life.
