Religion seems to teach us that trying to be like the creator is some kind of “sin” (in lack of a better word) i know Kabbalah is not a religion but the science of spirituality, nevertheless religions incorporate spirituality to a degree. Here Tony says we aim to become like the creator, wouldn’t that be wrong? Or is it that we just aim to be like the creator in order to climb up the ladder but of course we will never be like him? I am a bit confused…
If I understand correctly the Feelings of the Upper world, perhaps just the Assiyah, they are connected if the Quality, Purpose and Intention is similar. Does that mean for example feelings between two souls bring them together, so there is no Space dimensions. But is there a time dimension in the Assiyah? Meaning that these feelings can change so the forces are distant to each other. So there is no Space but there is time, unless there is an immutable force where time does not change the state of the feeling. In other words, if a soul’s feelings with other soul can change by the time?
Shaun,
For example, when you were 5 you didn’t notice Susie in the classroom, but then when you were 10 all of a sudden, some new feeling arises in you, it’s platonic, but some kind of young love thing awakens in us at some point, totally disconnected from sex, but we have some special feeling for someone.
In a similar and very natural way, something new develops in us that before we didn’t feel, didn’t understand.

In the presentation, you explain about the five senses as  being a barrier to our perception of reality. Much has been said about a sixth sense, a knowing. It  It’s not verbal but it can be experienced.
From  the perspective of Kabbalah, what is it?
Yvonne,
The five senses are not a barrier, they are what we have to perceive this world, however they are incapable of perceiving the spirtual world. There are surgeries where a blind person can regain their vision and then see whereas before they could not see.
So there are also spiritual “operations” that we perform over time with many inner efforts to transform ourselves and we acquire new feelings on the degrees of Keter, Hochman, Bina, Z”A and Malchut, these are 5 spiritual qualities that correspond to our five material qualities.

Hello! New answers… more questions! I think that’s going to be the norm from now on. My question concerns Torah and mitzvot. How does this fit into our search for meaning/studies? Are these terms, concepts, or the actual texts?
Hi Greg,
This is a point of confusion and will stay confusing since we are studying spiritual things, but each spiritual root does touch the earth and so when the spiritual roots touched the earth, what remains are these things that people do with their hands and feet.
But in the meantime, let’s not discuss tefillin or kashrut, let’s speak only about what these definitions mean spiritually.
The one whole desire that can receive all of the light of ein sof was divided (into many different numbers and we will learn all about it) into 613 general parts. As we make ourselves similar to the light, it’s called that we attract the light of the Torah which comes and corrects the broken part to a corrected part, that action is called a mitzvah.
