I understand that the Law of Equivalence of Form is key to aligning with the Creator and that our suffering is caused by being out of balance with these forces. How can I begin to consciously align my emotions, intentions, and actions with the laws of nature in order to create this balance and reduce suffering in my life and in the world around me?
Hi Natu,
The Creator’s qualities are pure bestowal and love. If we want to reach equivalence of form with Him, we too need to aspire to those same qualities.

Keep in mind that in practice, we start this type of spiritual work first in a small Kabbalistic group. In that group, we build a strong connection with other points in the heart that are together with us on the spiritual path. This becomes like a nucleus. Once we build that nucleus, we will be able to add to it wider and wider circles of the world, until we’ll come to include the whole world in that connection. But this is gradual work. And until we build that nucleus, we have nothing with which to do any spiritual work towards the world.
We’ll learn more about these things and practically implement them in the advanced semester.

Ask anything about week 5 lesson and materials and get an answer from a senior Kabbalah instructor.
Do we have an expectation of any person asking the Upper Force directly questions and then hearing a voice or having some kind of communication that gives us immediate answers – from the Upper Force, not our own mind or the influences of others?
Hi Vivian,
Every moment comes to us directly from the Creator. This is called “there is none else besides Him”. So the expectation is to try to be in a constant connection with the Creator.
We’ll learn more about this in the upcoming semester, in the meantime, check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2017/12/there-is-none-else-besides-him/

How do we work with a desire? What does it mean to correct a desire with an intention to bestow? Suppose I desire a type of food, or a new job. How do I work with this using an intention to bestow?
Hi Branden,
We learn from the shattering of the system of Adam HaRishon that the only thing that is broken in the ENTIRE system of creation are the proper connections between people. This is the only thing that is broken and the only thing we need to correct.
In other words, each one of us is perfect. We don’t need to correct ourselves. We only need to correct our connection with others. It’s just like when doing a large jigsaw puzzle. Each piece is unique and necessary as is. We don’t start recoloring the pieces or cutting off seemingly redundant parts. All we need to do is find where each piece fits relative to all the other pieces.
It’s the same with us. Each one of us is like that unique jigsaw piece. We don’t need to fix ourselves or change ourselves. The 613 desires that we need to correct are not within me. Rather, these are the things standing in the way of my connection with others. So our focus should be entirely on the connection with others.
We do this work first of all with other points in the heart that are together with us on this spiritual path. After we learn how to connect with them, we can expand this connection to the whole world. We’ll learn how to do this practically in the more advanced lessons.

¿Cómo puedo saber si mi deseo, a partir del estudio de la sabidurÃa de la Kabbalah, ha empezado a ser corregido conforme al pensamiento de la Creación? ¿A través de cuáles señales puedo asegurarme de estar apartándome del camino del Sufrimiento y, en cambio, estar aproximándome al camino de la Luz?
Google translation of the question:
How can I know if my desire, based on the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah, has begun to be corrected according to the thought of Creation? Through what signs can I ensure that I am moving away from the path of Suffering and, instead, approaching the path of Light?

Hi Enrique,
To the extent that we correct ourselves, to that extent we reveal the Creator in practice.

Cómo puedo aprender a reconocer las señales del Creador, es decir, Su intención, Su Voluntad, lo que Él tiene en Sus planes para mÃ, sin que mi naturaleza egoÃsta interfiera en el mensaje del Creador?
Google Translation of the question:
How can I learn to recognize the signs of the Creator, that is, His intention, His Will, what He has in His plans for me, without my egoistic nature interfering with the Creator’s message?

Hi Enrique,
For that, you need to correct your egoistic nature. This is done through the force of the light that we extract, especially during the Kabbalistic studies.
