[Peter]

So we study the wisdom of Kabbalah in order to build our desire to achieve equivalence of form with the Creator?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Peter,
We are a creature who is created to want to receive pleasure.
We are lucky enough that even when our material desires are filled, there remains some other desire in us that wants more.  This new desire, the point in our heart yearns to be filled with something more.
If we said to a 10 year old kid playing soccer with his friends that his goal will be to take care of his family one day and cover the mortgage and arrange a vacation and the landscaping around the house, he would have no vessels to feel anything you are talking about.  For that reason, I hesitate to just say, yeah, equivelence of form with the Creator, because we are working to figure out, what is the Creator?  Who am I?  What is this wisdom? etc…
But in short, yes, we are on the our way to attaining equivelence of form with the Creator which means that (we will remain as receivers since the only thing the Creator created is a desire to receive, but in our intention) we will aim 1% to bestow and then 2% ….to 100% when we have ascended all 125 degrees (5 partzufim x 5 sefirot x 5 worlds) and corrected our entire intention to receive to be in order to bestow.   That is called the end of correction when the entire will to receive is transformed to be able to receive all of the endless light of the Creator, not egoistically, but like the Creator, that it is for the sake of all.

That was a great lesson. It makes sense to me why Ego is sometimes an obstacle. once you get rid of that ego, you see and feel beyond your limitation.

Thank you alot

[Peter]

That was a beautiful explanation. Thank you so much.

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

behzad,
The ego will accompany us all the way to the end of correction.
The ego is what the Creator made.  As much as he is a force of bestowal, he made a force of reception opposite to it in order to be able to fill it with all of his delight.
However we have a problem, as a receiver, we are full of his delight, BUT we are opposite from Him.  Therefore we have our work in correcting the intention from receiving for ourselves to receiver all of that delight for the sake of the Creator.

Can the animals help to make the plan from the creator? if the answer is yes, why not to think they have that connection beyond five senses without wealth, knowledge and power. How can I get more info about the role of the animals?

Thanks,

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Alejandro,
You have found the wisdom of kabbalah which describes the structure of reality.
You will have the opportunity to learn about how all of our material reality developed according to four phases:
Inanimate
Vegetative
Animate (that is the animals you are asking about)
Human/Speaking creatures

Our universe follows this development in four phases from below to above, from the most simple to the most complex connections.
We will also learn the structure from above to below where those four degrees descended from the endless light above down through the degrees until the our world.
All of our spiritual work now is between humans and as we do this spiritual work together and rise, the animal, vegetative and inanimate degrees all rise together.

Adelina,
The question is what is a person, called Adam.
This does not refer to a person who wears clothes and lives in a home somewhere, but Adam means that the person has an inner structure that resembles that of the Creator.
The flesh and blood body is not the relevant part, but the desire of the person, which direction it aims, if it aims like all of the other creatures towards reception or if it inverts towards bestowal like the Creator.

[Nathan]

A ton of literature exists about transcending the ego or experiencing an ego death; is the Kabbalistic method of correcting the desire and/or intention a corresponding concept?  Is it necessary to work in groups to accomplish this goal?  How does one find a group?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Nathan,
You are in one of the four fundamental classes where a person is introduced to the world of kabbalah so that the person begins to understand who am I, where am I, what are the forces that are operating me and around me.  After these courses a student has the ability to join a more dedicated group who works with special texts and practically implements the teaching.

The matter of the ego will become more clear as you study.

[Elliott]

Wonderful lesson. Thank you. When one starts to evolve and learns how to become more equivalent to the Creator … are there any signs or “perceptions” that let that person know they are on the right track?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Elliott,
If a person is advancing correctly, after a time of elation, there comes a time of weakness.  The Light of the Torah shines on a person and he feels that he is created as a receiver but he wants to be like the Creator who is a bestower.  This tires a person who cannot find what to do to be like the Creator.  This happens on purpose and brings the person to a heartfelt prayer from the bottom of his heart.
