Hi Inbar,
Adam Harishon refers to the creature in the worlds of BYA. As it corrects itself, it rises to Malchut of the world of Atzilut to the state of Shechina, the state where the Creator dwells and is revealed inside of this corrected form.
We’ll learn more about these things in the more advanced lessons that deal with the technical structure of the upper worlds.

Hi Mira,
Adam Kadmon is a part of the system of worlds. While Adam HaRishon is the active part within this system. Similar to how you have planet Earth and you have people or those that inhabit the planet.

Hi Kelly,
Yes, this is reflected in the size of the human population. As the ego grows, the soul is fragmented accordingly so that our common egoism is divided between us, making the work of correcting the ego easier for all of us.
Rav Laitman writes about it in one of his blog posts:
“600,000 is the number of initial fragments, but after that they are fragmented again into whatever number is necessary for the optimal correction in each generation – so that each fragment will have as much egoism as it’s able to correct. Therefore, to the degree that egoism grows, the world’s population grows as well.”

Hi Olga,
1. Yes, you can say that. But keep in mind that we don’t have the strength to go against our egoistic nature. The best we can do is to try to rise above it. And by doing so, we evoke the light to help us to realize those efforts.

2. Kabbalah defines a soul as the corrected form of our nature: the desire to received with the intention to bestow. But since we are not yet corrected, we don’t have this thing called the soul. What we have is a soul in potential. This is our points in the hearts. As long as we have not yet fully corrected ourselves, this same point continues to reincarnate again and again until it gets fully realized.

Hi Loyda,
Each week has its own recommended reading materials. Here’s the link for week 1 recommended reading.
It’s also recommended to just read through from beginning to end the books Kabbalah Revealed and then Attaining the Worlds Beyond.
For the live Zoom, check out the live page link for details and recordings.

Hi Ayantu,
If we were strong and could do everything by ourselves, we would have no need to ask the Creator for help. So the system is set up such that we cannot finish the work ourselves. We can try, fail, and then discover the need for His help. This is because the goal is not to succeed, but the goal is to build a connection with Him. And by turning to Him for help, we are at least in some kind of connection with Him.
As for being born with the point in the heart, that is not enough. If we didn’t have this type of system which constantly pushed and pulled us, we would be content with little and not have the drive to continue our development until we reach the full correction and fulfill the purpose of creation.
We’ll study the article “there is none else besides Him” in depth in the next 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/
