Hi Erez,
I’m not sure which particular study he was referencing, but here’s a general study which cites a few other studies that reached similar conclusions: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5034293/#b2

Hi Dan,
The Kabbalists call our material world the “imaginary world”. Since once we correct ourselves, relative to that corrected state this life would appear as nothing more than a dream.

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.

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.

Hi Artese,
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 we practice this type of spiritual work in the Kabbalistic group. First we build a strong connection with other points in the heart 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.

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.
