So if we are trying to reach or become like the Creator ( in terms of the quality of bestowal ).
Where do we get that which are going to bestow from ?
In other words from where do we get that which we are supposed to bestow to others ?
Milo,
It comes from above this world.
We have natural, worldly desires and they can be fulfilled, food, sex, family, money, honor, power, knowledge.
However, we don’t have a desire for bestowal. This is not “terrestrial”, it comes from above. We have to develop a desire for it and “pray” for it, meaning, calibrate our heart to it.

What about animals? It seems the universe, creator has only time for human’s, what about the animals that create part of our ecosystem. We would not survive without them so what are they? Are they part of nature, are the separate creatures or are they apart of us?
Maria,
Everything in reality is connected and part of one single, connected system, all of the animals, plants, even planets and stars.
The spiritual human is the only part in this system that can consciously come into equivelence with her Upper Spiritual Root.
Everything below the human is dependant on the human. As the human rises, all of the lower parts of nature rise with her.

György,
In the Upper Worlds there is no “human”.
Imagine that before you was two choices. On the one hand, go sit in traffic and then go to work all day and on the other hand, come and take eternal fulfillment. Which choice would you pick? 🙂
And if every choice was eternal fulfillment, then there is no choice and there is no human, we are absorbed into the light and that is the Upper Sensation.
However in order that we would feel ourselves as ourselves and also come to feel Him and His Light of eternal fulfillment, for that reason we were separated and from this place we now build ourselves back up to Him.

In “Attaining The Worlds Beyond” on page. 27. It mentioned ” Malchut entity”, which is described as all the worlds, all created beings , except for the Creator. However, I just need a bit clarification. I have taken Kabbalah classes before so this question may be a bit advanced for week 2. However, where does Adam  Ha Rishon come into this creation. As I understand this was the Kli( vessel) of  all human collective soul before it was fragmented. In addition, I know the 10th sefirot is known as Malchut. So ,you see  I need a bit of clarification on this matter. Thank you!
Addontess,
Great question.
Adam HaRishon comes “later in the story” so to speak.
The creation of Malchut is the creation of the general desire to receive.
Adam HaRishon will be a creature that will eventually be made of Malchut but will have the force of Bina mixed in him which makes him not entirely “terrestrial”, not entirely of the Earth, of Malchut.

Thinking of the 5 senses of the Kli (vessel)- they are anchoring us to the body and material world, to be able to develop a new sense beyond that we need to “ silence “ these 5 senses in order to develop a new one to rich  a level above to the upper world…
How can we help the process of ignore or  avoid  the 5 senses ?
Peshka,
According to the eastern methods, you are correct, the senses need to be quieted in order to reach some spiritual degree.
In the wisdom of kabbalah, actually the desires keep growing. It is specifically this and our inability to fill them that we finally turn to the Creator for something eternal, for something whole, for something good.
That is what we will learn together.

I just need to clarify something if “reality doesn’t exist outside of ourselves” – then what is this objective reality/upper worlds/will to bestow that IS outside of ourselves? Is this not a ‘true’ reality?
Alex,
Before any creation, there was only the simple light evenly in all directions, endless.
But there is nothing to say about this.
As soon as we say anything, we are already limiting, so any reality that we feel is just that, it’s what we feel.
If there is no feeler, there is no reality.
