Setting your intention from Kabbalistic teachings

I was fortunate enough to take a Kabbalah class last week with Dr. Daniel Matt. In the class, we read from his book, The Essential Kabbalah. 

Inside, there is a translated passage that says:

Whatever one implants firmly in the mind becomes the essential thing. So if you pray and offer a blessing to God, or if you wish your intention to be true, imagine that you are light. All around you—in every corner and on every side—is light.

If you are searching for love, this passage relates precisely to your search. The passage essentially says, put your intention out there and you will experience what you intend. Do not be afraid to set your intention to find your partner even within a specific timeframe. Such as, by the end of the year I will have found the person I’m going to marry.

I know some of you are reading this saying, “But what if my search comes up empty?” If you are serious about wanting to be married then I promise your list will change and only the most essential items will bubble up to the top. You’ll lose unimportant things like “must have completed a marathon” and keep things like “loves children.”

Think of the “light” as energy. As Dr. Matt said, “Move your focus from the material state to the energy state and you will practically float!”
