I’m also called Ricki, by my friends. I’ve been traveling around the world for a few years, until Covid started. I find myself in Australia, sadly far away from my family in the USA. I was first introduced to Dr. Laitman and the teaching of Kabbalah a few years ago by watching one of Tony Kosinec’s first You Tube videos. On my journey from the US, I went to Central Africa (where I was born) and continued to the Middle East and then to China and ended up in Australia. I went through some unexpected and unpleasant changes, and after much searching for answers to my questions, “Why am I here?” What is my purpose in life?”, I finally found my way back to KabU seriously this year. I joined KabU and am eagerly studying the courses available. I’ve wanted to know for a few years why was I was “brought” to Australia. My question was answered when I learned, “There is None Else Beside Him” in an article by Rav Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam). But more importantly, I am here to learn what I’ve wanted to know for a very long time, “What is my purpose in life?, Why am I here?”
This is the quote I left on the YouTube video of Dr. Laitman regarding dissemination. (I don’t use FaceBook) “These courses are what I have been waiting for almost my whole life. I’ve almost always had this question lurking in my mind and my emotions, “What is this life about?” What I am learning is new and exciting and sometimes not so easy to understand, but my commitment to continue on this path is unwavering. I want to know what my purpose in life is.”
Only after writing this down did I realize how important the study of Kabbalah is to me. Especially as I start being part of the group and, with these particular actions I strengthen the influence of the reforming light.
We have to be a part of a group that has the same intention to change our desire to receive for ourselves to an intention to give our desire to receive to the Creator.
