I study a little religion and I really like the symbolism and, and I’m curious to know if the New Testament and the Torah are the same? Starting from this question, if it is the same book, what is the symbolism of Eve having accepted the serpent’s temptation to eat the forbidden fruit? Does this symbolism have to do with the separation of the human being from God? How so?
Andrea,
Here is a great book by a wonderful friend and long time student of our teacher the kabbalist Rav Laitman.
This book will reveal many of the secrets of the Bible for you.

Elvis,
As we learn, there is no light without a kli. It means that although all of reality is right now permeated with the highest spiritual lights, we don’t feel it at all because we don’t have a kli, a vessel for it.
You and your cat go to the opera. The opera hall is filled with beautiful music but the cat has no kli for it, he doesn’t understand romance and nuance and vocal performance and the costumes and the theatre. He has no kli and so he does not receive in his kli any of the sensation of the “light”.
In short, we acquire the sixth sense by developing the kli for it.
To do that, one needs an environment that constantly develops that desire in him because unlike our desires for food, sex, money, honor, power, knowledge, etc. the spiritual desire requires an awakening from below, it does not renew on its own like the corporeal desires.

If everything in this world is a result of the upper forces, then what are we as human being in terms of spiritual bodies? What is the cause of us? The shattered soul of Adam. But that is a description of cause not a description of the current state. My understanding is that a soul is something we build in our lifetime, or not. So then, what is the description of the spiritual root of a person with and without kabalah?
David,
We are a developing desire that due to the degree of our desire we only perceive reality as corporeal.
As that desire develops and it cannot be fulfilled by corporeal fillings…it needs food, it needs all the corporeal fillings, just like an animal, but these things don’t fulfill him, like they do fulfill an animal, then this person starts to develop his spiritual desire.Inside of all of us is a tiny black point, it is called the point in the heart, it is like the single sperm that will later be a person, this is the single seed that will grow to be our soul. It grows by the desire for spirituality growing.
This requires time, a method, books that contain the reforming light that transforms the desire.

Adebiyi,
We will learn the structure of the Upper Worlds later in a systematic way and this will be much more understandable.
in the meantime, know that after the World of Infinity (ein sof), there are 5 spiritual worlds. All of those spiritual worlds take place take place above time and space.
The first of those five spiritual world is the root of all of the spiritual worlds. It is called Adam Kadmon (primordial man), although it is not talking at all about a creature, it is the upper structure that all of the subsequent creation will take.As the light cascades down through those spiritual worlds a structure is built whereby the creatures can bring the upper light into their vessels. The upper light clothed in the vessels is called the soul, that structure is called Adam HaRishon, it is filled with the lights of Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya and Yechida.

How I experience this world depends on how my brain interprets the information it gets from my senses, I do not experience it directly but through filters. Just think the brain and the senses are the hardware and the way this hardware interprets the information is my actual software or program, so to experience the upper reality I just need to upgrade the program?
Like if I want to tune in to a sw radio station and my am, fm radio does not have sw, I would need a sw capable radio. right? But I will still be experiencing reality through my radio and not directly. I mean through the filters and not directly.
Norman,
Very nice depiction.
You’re missing a few details, but your concept is going in the correct direction.
The will to receive and the 5 corporeal senses will remain until the end of correction. Although what flavors can a baby appreciate vs. a food aficionado…obviously there are degrees to the 5 senses. A cat has ears and Beethoven had ears, if they both heard a song obviously the information they receive from those sound waves would be worlds apart.The main piece you are missing is the masach, the spiritual screen, the intention which is the sense that perceives spiritual light. This is what we are not using now and what we need to use to feel the field of Light that we are in…just like this room is full of radio waves, it is also full of spiritual light, we need the screen upon which this Light can be perceived.
