Hi İdil,
The first lesson should have addressed most of these questions. If not, feel free to post the questions in the questions forum and we’ll answer them for you.

Hi Karim,
613 is the number of corrections that need to be placed over the spiritual desire. This number is further divided into 248 desires of bestowing in order to bestow and 365 desires that operate on receiving in order to bestow. We’ll learn how this number is derived in the more advanced lessons on KabU that deal with the structure of the upper worlds.

Hi Lora,
The Kabbalists tell us that there is no one closer to a person than the Creator. We exist in Him like an embryo within the mother. The main thing is to constantly turn to Him, to constantly be in connection with Him.

Hi Cyndi,
Baal HaSulam explains this in detail in the three state model in the Introduction to the book of Zohar, from item 14. You can learn more about it from there: https://kabbalahmedia.info/sources/ALlyoveA

Hi William,
Reincarnation happens on the level of desire. We all have this desire called the point in the heart. This is our spiritual potential. If we realize this potential, this grows into a desire called a soul. If not, this same desire continues to reincarnate again and again until it gets fully realized.
The Torah talks about the changes of the desires but in the language of roots and branches. It describes how this desire is constantly developing. First it’s raw and then it becomes more defined (Egypt), until it becomes corrected and aimed at the Creator (Israel). All of those changes are essentially the reincarnation of the desire.

As to why bother? Correction is a conscious process. If we don’t participate in it, even if a thousand more years and lifetimes go by, we will not reach it. The only thing that will change is that we’ll experience more and more pressure in life to push us towards correction. The Kabbalists call that “the path of suffering”. It’s like a child that refuses to go to school, so the parents put more and more pressure on him. But pressuring and punishing him is not the same as educating him. So after all of the pressures and punishments they put on him, he will still have to go to school and get his education.
