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.

In the video, Tony says that in upper worlds, to explain similarity of form, beings are more like spheres with qualities. With that I infer that in these worlds we are no longer material beings, being more like a sum of feelings and sentiments. Going up further the ladder, would we be like “a nothing that is everything”?
Erico,
Spirituality is not corporeality/materiality.
However we attain spirituality while living in our material body
When we pass the border between material and spiritual, we perceive qualities of wholeness that exist below the barrier, but there they are concealed.
Each subsequent spiritual degree is less and less concealed, however the exact same spiritual objects and forces are found in each and every world, the difference is in the degree of the revelation of those qualities.
