I’ve been in search for purpose and meaning since I was a child; many things of this search, my world, my family, my place in society, my future, made me feel as an outcast. I have tried a lot of disciplines and paths towards clarity and understanding, and now I see that all of them led me to try and quench my thirst for knowledge (i.e., the fourth desire) disguised as a spiritual quest. This new concept of spirituality as the search for the affinity of form and the ladder that goes from pure egoism to pure altruism is new and intriguing. Thank you for helping me approach it.
Getting outside of the box to perceive reality as it is, not as we now think it is after it has been filtered by our senses. This could be troublesome without due discipline and preparation.
I am so grateful I have found this course and this community! I have been searching for the meaning and purpose of life in general and of my own life in particular since my teen years. Now I’m 63 and traversing a transition that makes the study of Kabbalah all the more meaningful to me. This is not really a question, but a statement of gratitude and intent to learn more and to delve deeper into this search for meaning and wisdom.
I expect to open up a path towards a clearer understanding of how reality works, how I perceive it, and how to change my perspective in search of meaning.
