I don’t have a particular question but I am amazed at how the lesson touched on many things that addressed some things I had been thinking on.
When you say Creator pushes us away, is that when we get troubles in our lives and in that case what should we do to over come them.
Lori,
Imagine you are sitting at home on the couch. You are comfortable, everything feels satisfactory and …you forget about the Creator. Maybe you forget for a few hours, maybe you forget for a week, or a month.
Finally we will feel again that we are distant from Him. And this distance makes us yearn for Him again.
And we wipe off the dust and begin again with new powers.Seth@KabU
Demilew,
Every desire of our heart is called a prayer.
Every desire of our heart is for the sake of self reception.
A true prayer from the bottom of the heart comes when a person finally reaches a state where he needs to escape from this slavery and enter into something whole, complete, fulfilling, eternal, and not in his small, limited, selfish ego.

How do Kabbalists describe the picture of reality?
That “There is None Else Besides Him”
That there is only one power and acting force in reality, which is the Creator
Can someone explain the difference between these two statements?
To me, they feel essentially the same. If there is none else besides Him, then there is only Him- which is also the one power and acting force.
Asking because I got the answer wrong in the quiz! 🙂
Lynn,
Can you copy paste what you said is wrong on the quiz.
I don’t see the problem in what you wrote.
Seth@KabUI think that I got this question wrong because I was supposed to select all three answers! Not just one!!! I had not realized that I could check more than one answer on this question. By going back and looking at all of the answers again, I am learning this beautiful concept with more depth!
Just asking if I perceive it the right way: I am getting it like all the challenges and struggles we go through, shaking us from deep within, will lead us to doubting first, but eventually while being down at the bottom we will seek help, and ask for the guidance of the creater, and thatś the actual prayer.? And then eventually, as we grow , we may feel more of the connection, but the challenges will stay on… in order for us to experience a correction so we can balance our desires and our perception of the light out again. And then there might be the next blow, and it will shake us again, and we will have to work again on gaining balance, and so forth. And I am undestanding that through the awareness of Kabbalah, even following the path of light, itś not taking away the pain of going through these corrections, but it might be turning it into an internal process, rather than exposing us to more and more external pushes, which would be the path of suffering. Is that kind of going into the right direction?
Verena,
This is the correct direction.
Imagine if you were in 4 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 Celsius), walking for hours a day. It probably would feel terrible.
But if your goal was to climb Mt. Everest, you are prepared for this and you are excited by this, you face these conditions completely differently than someone who ends up unconsciously in those conditions.
