Hi Ben,
In Kabbalah, the Mashiach is not a person but a force. Mashiach (Messiah in English) comes from the verb “to pull” (Moshech in Hebrew). This is the force that has the ability to “pull” us out of our egoistic nature into the Creator’s nature of love and bestowal.

Hi Yusbel,
I’m not sure what you mean by recycling the ego. Maybe you can link me to where you heard that phrase so I can comment within that context.
As for being in harmony with nature, nature is composed of two opposite qualities: bestowal and reception. Harmony in nature is when we find the right balance between those two qualities.

Hi Miho,
A Kabbalist is a person that has already attained spirituality, at least to a certain degree. We can say that we’re Kabbalah students.

Hi Miho,
We don’t choose our thoughts, we choose to be influenced by a specific environment and our thoughts and intentions are a result of that choice. So our spiritual work essentially boils down to choosing to be influenced by the spiritual environment (meaning the Kabbalistic books, group, and teacher). Everything else is a result of that choice.
Baal HaSulam writes about it in the article “The Freedom”. Here’s an excerpt:
“However, there is freedom for the will to initially choose such an environment, such books, and such guides that impart to him good concepts. If one does not do that, but is willing to enter any environment that appears to him and read any book that falls into his hands, he is bound to fall into a bad environment or waste his time on worthless books, which are abundant and easier to come by. In consequence, he will be forced into foul concepts that make him sin and condemn. He will certainly be punished, not because of his evil thoughts or deeds, in which he has no choice, but because he did not choose to be in a good environment, for in that there is definitely a choice.
Therefore, he who strives to continually choose a better environment is worthy of praise and reward. But here, too, it is not because of his good thoughts and deeds, which come to him without his choice, but because of his effort to acquire a good environment, which brings him these good thoughts and deeds.”

Hi Erin,
We’ll learn a few of the important ones throughout the fundamentals. But in general, if you’re interested in learning how to properly decipher the Torah, check out the books: Disclosing a Portion or The Secrets of the Eternal Book.
