The goal is adhesion to the Creator. The way this occurs is through correction, my own correction. Methods of correction include dissemination.
It means to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” There is an understanding about the nature of reality which is that we are all one. Then my instinct to take care of myself extends to others.
I desire to understand my actual desires deeply and to be grown more into a being who resembles the Creator. I want my desires at the level I’m at to be corrected. I want to walk the middle line with joy. I want to know the Creator deeply.
Every time I sit down to study is the best experience. Whenever I find myself worried and distressed by corporeal things, it always feels like returning home to study. I hope I can carry that feeling with me all the time, eventually, no matter what life throws my way.
This course has shown me how I am completely driven by egoism. It’s also shown me that the Creator is drawing everyone to higher levels of perception. I trust the Creator and so, even though my egoism is seemingly insurmountable, I know I can rest. (Easier said than done, ha!)
I’ve been inspired by the beautiful message of Kabbalah and the profound revelations by others in the course. The idea of reuniting humanity through other-centered focus and self-correction (which paradoxically IS outer correction) is more impactful than anything else I’ve heard. The correlation to what humanity is learning through quantum mechanics is startling. Reality as we know it isn’t reality. Locality doesn’t seem to be a thing (entanglement) which corresponds so beautifully to the idea that we are all truly connected. This has been profound for me to meditate on, knowing that my internal state matters; I want to tend to it like I would a garden, knowing that all my effort would produce nothing without the sunlight and rain and life energy of the Creator.
For my fellow students, I wish for an ever widening and expanding perspective as the Creator pulls them higher and higher. There’s nothing I could hope that the Creator isn’t already doing for them, so I just wish for them to know that deeply for themselves.
