Hi Jovan,
Yes, you can say that.

Hi Jill,
I’m not sure in what context you’re asking this, but in general, when we rise above our egoistic nature, we’ll begin to relate to life and death in a completely different way.

Hi Jose,
Kabbalah Revealed and Attaining the Worlds Beyond are there to give you a solid foundation in the Wisdom of Kabbalah. It’s good to read through these books from beginning to end a few times. We’ll be learning from them mainly in the fundamental stages of Kabbalah.
Kabbalah for the Student on the other hand is a textbook of primary sources. This is an advanced level book which we’ll be studying from throughout our entire spiritual development. It can be a bit challenging for us without the proper foundation of the previous two books. So for now, it’s best to just stick with reading the recommended reading materials in that book. After you get a good foundation, you can read through that one as well. And in the more advanced phases, we’ll study articles in that book together and in depth.

Hi Ptr,
It depends on the context. In general, light has multiple connotations. When we use the word light, we’re not referring to colors or waves but rather that this is the force that is opposite the desire. All that was created was the desire to receive pleasure. The force that created this desire and fulfills it is the light. So the light is the Creator, the pure quality of bestowal. We can also say that light = pleasure, since this is what fulfills that desire.

Hi Shel, great questions!
1. The soul is a type of desire. Our nature is the desire to receive pleasure. The soul is the corrected form of this desire, when it’s operating in order to bestow. By default, no one has this corrected desire, so no one has this thing called a soul, only a soul in potential that we call the point in the heart. If we develop that point, it can turn into the soul. If not, this same potential continues to reincarnate again and again until it gets fully realized. After it’s fully realized, there is no need to reincarnate again to this level.

2. You can say that we’re all parts of a single soul, like cells within a single body. From this perspective, then we’re not creating something new but rather consciously returning to the root of our soul, to our place in this common system.

3. Yes, you can say that at the end of the process of correction we become consciously connected.

What about after that? After that there are further degrees of development, but they are currently beyond our tools of research, so the science of Kabbalah does not talk about it.
