The heart point is Israel
The Nations are egoistic desires
Torah is instruction by the light
Mitzvot is transformation of egoistic desires to altruistic
My question is how can I receive more codes like above. And please correct me if I’m wrong by saying code .
Is the 613 desire is connected to the 613 Laws in the Torah and what’s the best way to remember all of them?
Hi Mitch,
There are 613 desires that we need to correct. Corresponding to each desire, there is a mitzvah (commandment). These are the INTERNAL processes by which we correct that specific desire. In other words, Kabbalists don’t look at the 613 mitzvot as physical actions to be performed by our hands and feet, but rather as allegories to the internal process of correcting our desires.
Keep in mind that in practice, we don’t work according to some list of desires, but only according to whatever desire is awakened at the moment.

Why only two path? And why is pain is a path to the original state? What kind of pain? And is the path of light is the only way?
Hi Mitch,
The Creator created a perfect system. In this system, the end goal is preset. Meaning that every single person in the world will reach that state of perfection and adhesion with the Creator. The only choice in the matter is the rate at which we get there.
If we’re consciously advancing under the influence of the light, then we’re moving at a fast pace towards that goal.
If we’re waiting for blows to accumulate until we take a step forward, then we’re moving slowly towards that goal. This is similar to a child that refuses to go to school, so the parents put more and more pressures on him until he agrees to go. But keep in mind that we don’t really advance on the path of suffering. Since pressuring and punishing a child is not the same as educating him. So after all of the pressures and punishments they put on him, he will still have to go to school and get his education.

Is it possible to be reincarnating in the same life, almost like a loop, yet repeating with certain specific points in time by making a different choice? Or will it always be a different body and completely different circumstances. For example: (imaginary situation): Sally is born and at 10 years old has a fight with a friend, or steals something from that friend… Sally ends her bodily life, but returns to the same time of birth as Sally, but this time she chooses to not steal or fight with the friend. And so on, until all desires are corrected.
Hi Jade,
The rule is that “one is raised in holiness and never lowered.” Meaning that we’re always advancing forward and never going back to what was before.

Hi Pablo,
Spirituality works according to the law of equivalence of form. Meaning that in order to discover and reveal spirituality, we need to become similar to it, to the pure qualities of love and bestowal that are found there. This is just like how a radio can pick up an external wave, when we tune the internal frequency of the radio to that wave.

Do the 613 desires for the creator blossom as we progress in spirituality or are they what our current desires turn into once corrected? thank you
Hi Chloe,
You can say that they blossom as we progress in spirituality. The 613 desires are spiritual desires that we don’t yet have. This is similar to how a single cell in a body only has some basic desires. But when that cell is part of a greater body, it reveals there higher desires which are impossible for the individual cell to have: desires for money, honor, power, etc. Same with us, until we integrate with the general body of Adam HaRishon, we don’t reveal or understand these 613 spiritual desires.
