Markos,
You are discovering what the Creator made.
Of course we don’t want to behave with these emotions towards our family, neighbors, etc, but nevertheless this is what the Creator made.The majority of people do not arrive at this realization, they carry on fulfilling themselves and justifying themselves.
We, as the light shines, we start to see what is our true nature, what the Creator made and then after many efforts we realize that we need Him to invert that nature and that great minis force becomes the leverage for us to invert it (He does the heavy lifting).
We will study all of this together.

I don’t even know where to begin. So many thoughts and feelings rushing through me as I received the lesson. It’s a confusing place to be. The more I try to understand, the more clarity I get, but then I go a bit further and everything turns to confusion and it’s like a cycle. I just want to make sure I’m taking the right actions, internally, to achieve the goal the best way, through the path of Light. Very chaotic, what’s in me right now, as I try to figure out what the Creator wants me to do. So what should I do, what should I draw my attention/intention to when I experience something in life, the good or bad sensations He throws at me, how am I to act in thought and intention when all of these things come up? How does the Creator want me to relate to these things? How do I provide him with the ultimate contentment that I can? How do I act in response to what he is giving me in my life experiences?
Peter,
if you don’t eat and sleep so there is no spiritual life. If you don’t pay the rent or mortgage there then there is no place to sit quietly to study.  If you neglect your family then you will be distracted from your spiritual work.
We are learning about the cascading of the  upper light from Ein Sof all the way down to this world, the path it takes, the four phases of direct light, the four spiritual worlds, etc.When the creature begins to rise from below upward it follows those four phases and first we had the 1. inanimate development, starts, planets, etc, then 2. vegetative development, then 3. animate development and finally 4. human.
Those four phases/degrees are found in each of us as well. Â The first three are not related for the time being to spirituality, in that we are like all of the rest of nature that must eat, procreate, have a family, do some sort of work, etc. and on top of that we do our spiritual work which is work.
I recommend that you slowly and comfortably organize your corporeal life so you have some time each day or each week depending on your schedule now to study. Maybe it’s 30 mins at first or an hour or more. But something consistent. In the same way that you eat every day, so you also establish a time to connect to the source material, the lesson material each day.
You can do extra if you have time.You just entered university and you want to do brain surgery. But to be a good brain surgeon you can’t if you’re being pulled in 1000 directions.
Create a stable framework for yourself and review the materials again and again. Over time you will feel that your inner world will start to organize itself as it says one’s soul will teach him…not your imagination, but as the light in the lesson material works on you it’s like a software upgrade.
Work like this for a month. Take it seriously and you will see how you are building a good foundation. Â Update me in a month. This is a long path but you can make it shorter by flowing with it.Good luck,
Seth@KabU
Peter,
I’m very happy to receive your question.
You are going through many states quickly and it is clear to you what is happening, even as you feel confused.
Imagine you will be a great surgeon or a great athlete, but today you are 5 years old and it’s your first day of school or first day kicking the ball around. The good future is guaranteed, but today there is much confusion.
Here is some advice to try for the next month.
Keep a journal and write about how it goes.
I look forward to hearing about your results.We already learned about the Still, Vegetative, Animate and Speaking degrees.
When it comes to your SV&A desires, live as a normal person in the world. Go to work, eat well, exercise, take care of your family.
Simultaneously you are having a secret love affair with the Creator. In your free time you read, you study, you watch the videos, go through the lesson materials. But don’t try to apply everything you are learning in your spiritual work at your workplace and in the kitchen, etc. It will be way too confusing.
As you develop your spiritual life and in your internal world begin to stabilize the forms that the kabbalists give us in their books, the Peter who goes to work and cooks dinner will start to have a different inner life that already has a better “wifi” connection to the Creator and your SV&A desires will ascend with you.
Slowly slowly. We can’t skip any steps.
Take the time to go through these exercises.
Good luck,
Seth@Kabau
Does the equality of bestowal come from the Creator?
Then what’s”the tool” that one needs to acquire to enter into spirituality?
Sincerely, Maria P.
Maria,
Yes you are correct.
The only thing that comes from the Creator is bestowal.
All of creation is the opposite force, reception. Creation is discerned according to four degrees of desire, inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking. All of them different and more intense degrees of reception.
In order to enter spirituality, we need to be more like the Creator, which is the quality to bestow.
However, we are a desire to receive and we will remain a desire to receive, as this is the matter of creation that the Creator created. What we have the opportunity to do is to change our inner direction from reception to bestowal.
As a simple example, imagine that you make a holiday meal for your children. So you are serving them, but through this giving, you are receiving, you receive pleasure from giving.
So we can see that it is not about whether the hands give or take, it is about the inner attitude.
This is what we will learn more about, where is that intention inside of us and how do we work with it in order to receive from the Creator, which we must, as this is how He made us, but to receive not for ourselves as a tiny little spec in all of reality, but to receive in order to bestow, to be connected to Him and everyone, everything.
Seth@KabU
I am wondering if – to be in service to humanity in a loving way through intention- as a general way of being -would be considered as evolving toward correction ? If they have come to doubt the creators love for them in a difficult life experience – what is advised to help them return to faith? Is seeking equivalence of form the only way to experience the creator?
Catherine,
Of course when we are bestowing upon the Creator, all of the benefit of all of our efforts benefits all of reality.
I don’t know what you call the Creator and what you call the Creator’s love.
So I don’t want to answer and confuse things with your language.
Also faith in the wisdom of kabbalah is something different than what you are writing.
Act with warmth and care towards those you love is good way to be.
Seth@KabU
Saying that there is no other force in the world that has the ability to do anything against Him, is equivalent to state that nothing can go against the Nature’s program?
Seth, Thank you very much for clarifying things for me. The way you put it makes sense. I can see the way this gradual process takes place…the stabilizing of the two opposites; the nearing happening on the inside; the building of a new perception inside.
I’m really curious about “continuing to work with my will to receive” and what you meant by that. But I have to patient which isn’t easy. Thanks again for all your answers to all the posts. I’m learning a lot by reading all of them.
RDB,
You won’t have to wait long 🙂
This is the matter that the Creator made…the will to receive.
Get to know.
Don’t judge it now, but observe it like a scientist. See how all of your moves, your thoughts are running to satisfy you. We wouldn’t move our hand to scratch our cheek if we thought we’d get more pleasure leaving our hand on the table. And observe it in the squeril outside on the lawn and in the bus driver and in everything you see on the inanimate, vegetative and animate degrees of nature.
First things first recognize where you are and what forces are operating us.
Everything will develop naturally.
Keep yourself immersed in the study materials.
It will open for you bit by bit.
