What I found the most interesting is the idea that everything has an inner and outer “reality,” but that the inner (or upper) is ultimately what is Real.
In essence, The One (Hashem) is Love, Lover, and the Beloved. And it is our responsibility to awaken to this truth by ascending the 125 steps out of darkness into the Light of Truth (Or Emet). Is this a correct understanding? Thank you.
I expected to receive my first lesson in authentic Kabbalah; and hoped that I would understand its foundational aspects so that I could adequately prepare for subsequent lessons.
