How can we know we are on the right path? How can we know that we have the right intensions. Both types, ascents and descents are given to us by the creator as a reflection on how we are or what our intensions are. how should we interpret the gift of the creator ? How do we know what to correct? (sorry for the many questions in one sentence)
Boke,
The wisdom of kabbalah is a spiritual science. Because of that, when we are engaged in spirituality, there is no connection to the corporeal world.
On the other hand, everything in the corporeal world is like an imprint from the spiritual worlds.
Therefore, we cannot attain spirituality through physical actions, but we can arrange our physical life so that we can reveal spirituality.
The first thing one must do is establish his foundation in the study.
If one builds his foundation on a rickety foundation, the structure will inevitably fall.
So as you study, do research on yourself.
You study that the Creator created a will to recieve, that that is the entire creation that develops according to His name Yud – Hey – Vav – Hey, we see that in our world as the will to receive on the level on inanimte, vegatative, animate and speaking.
Do you see this? Do you see that all of reality is different degrees of the will to receive?
Now do research on yourself. Discover that everything you do is only for self benefit. Even when you do mercy upon another it is to make you feel better, or for honor or respect, or to calm you down, many reasons.
So like this step by step as you study, you test it on yourself and brick by brick as you test and empirically determine what is what and build a foundation. And the higher the structure will be, the deeper the foundation has to be.One goes through many descents in order to discover a need for the Creator. Before the descent, he didn’t need Him so much. And then the light fills that empty space and he ascends. When one ascends, that is the time to engage more in the study since once he descends he relies on the framework he prepared for himself.
In this way, we reveal each correction starting with the smallest until we reach the end of the corrections.

A question regarding some of the traditions that we follow. If I understand it correctly the 613 laws contained in the upper world are qualities rather than numbers. In the corporeal world we, or I at least, relate them to 613 desires to bring pleasure to the creator. The mitzvot of the Torah, a particularly Jewish phenomenon? I must admit that some Sunday mornings the laying of Tefillin for example, is not always done with any thought at all of bringing pleasure to the creator. It’s more an act of perceived duty, saying the Sh’ma and Amidah without a whole lot of thought for it’s meaning. From the comments on prayer from the video is this OK or a waste of time? Should we continue with this commandment and others regardless of circumstances?
Martin,
What you found here is a spiritual heritage, which we, your instructors received from our teacher, a kabbalist who attained what we study, who received it from his teacher mouth to mouth, who received it from his teacher Baal HaSulam, the author of the Sulam commentary and upon whose teaching, our method is based.
We don’t give advices on what to wrap on your arms or what frontlets between your eyes, what to put on your doorpost or what foods to eat. We learn about the laws of the spiritual reality that apply to all humanity, albeit it starts with a small group at first and then spreads in circles.
These are the laws of the Torah as understood by those who attained them.Regarding the customs of the people with their hands and feet, the Jewish people who are descendants of the kabbalists have many customs with their hands and feet that have spiritual roots. And other religions have their customs. This is up to each person and does not disturb your spiritual development.

How are we to understand the words, “he must say that the core of his joy is that now there is joy in the Divine Presence, from having been able to bring her private organ near her” ?!?! What’s all this about a “private organ”. I mean, it sounds really sexy, but what are we to make of it from a spiritual standpoint?
Eric,
Many things in the wisdom of kabbalah sound either out of context or strange to us.
The kabbalists are talking about a whole, integral system, as all of humanity as part of a single body that stretches over generations.
There’s going to be a process of calibrating to the language of the kabbalists.
Regarding sexy, the whole wisdom of kabbalah is about the interaction between the male (Creator) and female (all of creation) and their flirt in concealing and revealing and building the desire and their ultimate unification.
Seth@KabULeyah,
The Creator has no up or down, in or out, male or female, the Creator contains everything in a whole, integral, eternal way. All of the definitions and determinations are on from the side of the creation. The Light never changes.
The giving bestowing force is called male and the receiving force is called female.

Please let me try that again. My fingers aren’t good at texting and it seems as though my spell correct is having a hard time what I mean to say is is when we change our intention to receive to bestow does the bestow always have to be back to the creator or can it be back to other parts of The collective soul or to other individuals or nature, what have you, or is since all of those other things really are just part of the Creator do you just call that all bestowing back to the creator? So, for example, if I’m DJing, with a crowd of people, and I’m feeling the groove and the spirit, and I take a second for myself and I’m thankful for that joy and recognize it’s coming from the creator and other people are feeling the spirit and they are grooving, now the music’s coming from my hands, but I guess it’s really coming from the creatorz I realize that I am I receiving that and bestowing it on the people that are dancing, and so I am receiving with the intent to bestow to the dancing people who are parts of the collective soul, or am I receiving with the intent to bestowed of those people who were dancing who are all parts of the creator, so really I’m receiving with the intent to bestow back to the creator. I really did not intend on making that as complicated but maybe you understand what I’m saying?
Steve Miley,
So the Creator made you a great DJ, that you activated some tendency that you received from heaven, that’s not spiritual. What about someone who didn’t receive a tendency like this?
The part that is spiritual is the attitude. If his true intention is for the benefit of others, that is considered that he has become a spiritual person.
From love of the others we come to love of the Creator.
