Google translation of the question:
What is the difference between Kabbalah and religion?_____________________________
Hello,
Kabbalah is a practical method by which we can correct our egoistic nature. As a result of this correction, we become similar to the Creator, to His qualities of love and bestowal. As a result of that, we reveal Him in practice, in our lives here and now. In other words, Kabbalah is not based on faith, but rather it’s a scientific method.

Hi Karen,
The 613 desires that we are learning about are spiritual desires, meaning 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.

I understood that we should try to comprehend the reasons and the thoughts behind the things/events themselves. This is how we can find ourselves in the space of the thought of the Creator (the space that we and the Creator can share). What I do not understand is why this is considered bestowal?
Hi Julia,
It’s not considered bestowal, but through such exercises, we feel the need to reach bestowal. This is because the Creator, and everything He sends us, operates on the frequency of bestowal. While we are looking at life through the lens of reception. As such, we operate on two completely different frequencies. So it’s currently impossible for us to understand Him. We first need to correct our nature and become similar to Him. Only then will we begin to understand Him and to comprehend properly all that we see in life.

What happens to creation AFTER the completion of Adam Harishon; i.e. after the immature monad becomes a mature pleura or the unconscious one becomes a conscious many?
Hi Carlos,
Kabbalists hint that there are further degrees of development, but in our current state, we don’t yet have the tools to properly measure these things, so we don’t talk about them.

Am I right in believing that whilst we are part of the whole/the soul of the creator, He deals with us as individuals as he draws us into unity with him? In other words, your experience will be different to mine,?
Hi Stephen,
Every single person has a completely different experience. But the experiences that each person will need to go through are determined by the root of their soul, by their place in that common system.
For example, a heart cell will experience what the heart needs to experience while a brain cell will experience what the brain needs to experience, etc.
