I rarely feel pleasure from the Creator. Most of my experience is some form of anxiety or ennui. I do not feel shame in receiving these things from the Creator, because they suck!~

I hope to connect my desire for the Creator with this same desire that exists in all of you guys!~

Each of the 600,000 shards contains 613 desires within it. Is this a literal number? How does this relate to 7 billion people on the planet? Does each person contain 613 desires or are these distributed across multiple people? What is the relationship between one particular set of 613 desires and another set? In other words, why did Adam HaRishon split in such a way into these 600,000 shards?

Understanding that there is an ultimate purpose to life allows me to consider how all situations are produced by forces that continuously seek to align me with that purpose. The more I recognize this fact, the more I appreciate the benevolence of the Creator.

First of all, I have been enjoying reading all the other replies. What struck me from the lesson is how distance is measured totally differently in the spiritual worlds. Since there is no time and no space, distance is purely a matter of similarity of forms. And to have the same form with the Creator is to actually just be one with Him!

I want the wisdom of kabbalah to lead me to a perception of reality that is the same as the force that created reality. I want to know its desire and intention so I can help fulfill what we are truly here to do.
