Lesson Highlights

  • Being good at something is not a prerequisite for doing it
  • Some things are worth doing simply because they make us feel alive
  • Desire itself is not the problem, misplaced desire is
  • Unmet desires can fuel something else entirely
  • Regret is about losing the trust in ourselves
  • Revisiting a painful choice that restores our trust in the Creator
  • Do not confuse your life with work or achievements
  • Noticing small, ordinary beauty, not just accomplishments
  • Joy is a choice available to everyone in every moment
  • True happiness is a state of being we can enter today
  • Even in hardship, presence and gratitude are forms of wisdom and peace


Lesson Description

The kabbalists teach that desire is our soul, and that lack arises from wanting something that cannot truly satisfy us Monica Berg explains that when a desire goes unmet, that energy does not vanish but it can fuel something unexpected, if we stop mourning the closed door and notice what is still alive in us. As Rosh Hashanah begins, the invitation is not to chase happiness through achievement, but to choose joy right now.

Reflection:
What truly makes your life meaningful?


About This Course

According to the kabbalists, the holiday of Rosh Hashanah is a window in time when we can transcend space and time to remove judgments from ourselves. Each of our personal movie scripts for the entire upcoming year is determined by our connection to the Light available on Rosh Hashanah. This Light empowers us to change our destiny and draw peace, harmony, and well-being for all of humanity. Together, as a united force, fortified with consciousness and a shofar, we can create change. As it is one of the most powerful days of the year, Kabbalah Centres around the world host connections to the Light available during Rosh Hashanah. We invite you to come together with your Kabbalah Centre community, in prayer and unity, as we channel the rejuvenating energy of Rosh Hashanah.
