In your own words, what is the purpose of this course of study? What do you hope to attain?

I want to become similar with the Creator.

I want to understend the mining of massah(screen).The most importate tools.

ready!

For me, this course will help me to understand the language of kabbalah, which in turn will help me better understand the whole concept of kabbalah and to correctly apply them in my daily life in order to become closer and closer to equivalence of form.

The purpose that is at the top of my mind right now is from the reading material of the previous section.

It seemed to say that the sefirot themselves are composed of the reflected light. This would mean that the only way we can attain them is to perform the action of making a screen (a commitment not to accept a specific light into a specific desire) and then using it to redirect light (fulfillment of that desired thing) onto others, so that we would be able to see the qualities of the Creator in the redirected light.

I think this means that the purpose is to prompt us to make that action. To understand that the Creator is there and everything good is coming from Him. And with this knowledge, we reject some of that good coming to us in order to give it to someone else. And that the power of this comes from deeply desiring this thing for ourselves, and giving it away anyway, specifically because we know the Creator desires this. (The purpose of the course is to help us achieve this detailed understanding above reason without being able to see it for ourselves, since we are not in the spiritual world.) And in the results of such an act we might get to see the image of the Creator etched out, and know Him. And when we know Him we will have the ability to cleave to Him.

That is how it seems to me at this point based on the course materials so far.
