was ‘behina bet’ a stage of evolution which was an independent choice by the creature that could have been avoided?
when correction is achieved, does the creature return to ‘behina alef’ or ‘behina shoresh’?
is there evil according to kabbalah? if so, where in the above 5 phases was evil created?
saps,
It’s good that you are thinking about the material and working with it.
There is no choice yet at all in our story.
Everything that we are learning now in the phases of the direct light are like the upper, primordial software in order to arrive at a vessel that could yearn on its own for the complete filling of the upper light of ein sof. That vessel is called Malchut of ein sof.
This primordial structure of the root and the subsequent 4 phases will be the structure called HaVaYaH that will be the structure for all of the worlds and partzufim that will develop next until there will be a place for choice.Evil, is what the forces are called that are opposite/against connection.
While we are absorbed in the upper light, completely as one, we have no sensation of it, we are completely absorbed like a small spark absorbed by the sun.
So all of the forces of the other side that stands opposite from the system of kedusha is all for the purpose of building the feelings of yearning for the connection, for the love and wholeness. We will learn about it.

Hi,
The creature rises from below upward across all the 125 steps. Why is it 125? Is it symbolic or is it literally 125? Does this matter?
Thank you!
So, the Creature desires correction in order to receive from Creator in ways that bring contentment to Creator? Is this then why the wisdom of Kabbalah was written for our current ( corporeal) timeline?
Thank you so much for all you are and all you do ❤️
I realize I have no understanding -I don’t even understand if I have entered this course with the right intention, maybe I only entered it out of fear of death. The ego can be so sly, I wish to know how to pray for understanding but I realize I don’t know how to pray, because prior to studying Kabbalah was I spiritually dead? Will the Creator hear any prayer from the spiritually dead? Does one pray the way we were taught in Christianity? How does one pray? The more I try to know, the more I don’t know. I try to pray the Ana Bekoach because I feel I don’t know how to do a ‘regular’ prayer anymore, so I thought, maybe I just need to say this prayer, but when I try, I just inexplicably cry and not with tears of joy. In fact, as I continue on in this course, I keep feeling emotional, like I will never have understanding, nor altruism.
Cyndi,
These are great questions and they are all in the correct place.
Who am I? What am I doing? Can I get out of this hell? How? Does what I do matter?
These are the most valid questions.
And it should be clear to you that you are rising above the level of “beast” of the animate degree. Animals don’t ask these questions. And we, all the nice primates around us wearing clothes and driving to work, most are not bothered by these questions too much that they are ready to do something. Usually we cover the questions or drown them out until we can barely hear them. But you are asking them and they are growing and this is the beginning of our exit from a regular corporeal life and the little light that starts to shine at the entrance to a spiritual reality.
Regarding prayer, the desire of the heart is the prayer. We can say a lot of words and it is good to speak to the Creator like your best friend, say anything, whatever you want, you are confused, you are grateful, you are upset, you are overjoyed, speak to Him. The words are not as important as the heart is the true prayer and we use our words to help express or guide the heart sometimes.
You are on track.
Good luck and keep going,
Seth@KabU
