    tbh, it didn’t occur to me, but at this point i’m continuing to find out more, as it is very interesting and the presentation is like successive cliff-hangers ! thanks for making this course 🙂

    also, the process of learning these things throw everything into confusion, while re-arrangements seem imminent….

    i think i’ve been wondering about that for a short while lately, and think about refraining from normal life stuff that i enjoy, like romComs, salty snacks, sweets and sugary drinks, which is also egotistical since dieting is a plus – i exercise too and nourish myself sufficiently so no need to worry 🙂 — but, also i try to do things for others more, even if it’s minimalist, like adopting the attitude of “live and let live”; idk there’s a lot going on in the lessons of KabU, so i wonder a lot about this question…. “what to do?”

    if “concealment” is referring to when the Light is hidden from us, then we won’t see the higher spiritual pleasure of receiving Light. As a result, the lower worldly pleasures appear more attractive, but like a mirage, since the light obtained is fleeting at best, since it goes away quickly (or doesn’t enter the kli at all).

    but, looking at the question again: “In which situations…?”

    it seems like the pull toward the normal life pleasures is in direct proportion to concealment; so, if this is true (seems like it is as i think about it), i would suggest that the question is referring to situations where a person is giving into such pleasures to receive for one’s self alone and doing so to the extent that she actually creates the concealment, which seems kind of sad – given how easily such a lapse in spiritual integrity could be avoided.

    Well, in all fairness, mood swings and confused thoughts irl aren’t always that easy to avoid (i was initially thinking of situations involving sweets or coffee!), but the truly sad situations would involve “not seeing the Providence” and “unable to pray” …

    finally, i remembered this last bit is from Shamati pp. 74-76 or p. 403 from Kabbalah Revealed Part 2, the passage is entitled “Concealment and Disclosure of the Face of the Creator”

    hello, i’m Csilla (pronounced Chill-uh, meaning derived from “star”) and we’re originally from Hungary. i always was drawn to mystical-spiritual things in life and everything seems like a great mystery, so the Blueprint of Creation seemed like a good topic to delve into, in order to clear things up a bit, wouldn’t you agree?  many thanks and best wishes to all on this journey 🙂

    atm, i must admit the idea that comes to mind is to understand and begin organizing my desires into different levels, or setting up an internal system, which does so – i mean the system that Kabbalah proposes as a means of higher spiritual attainment….

    halfway or so through this course (6.) , which is quite amazing, i suppose my expectations are reflecting the previous lessons and seeing the titles below (lessons 7., 8., etc), i look forward to said organization and discovering more beyond that, as well…. Many many thanks for this course, btw 🙂

    Thank you so much ! truly 🙂 i seem to be enjoying the ongoing activation of things i recognize as coming from my previous courses in KabU: as the lessons, recommended reading and exercises all seem to be finding opportunities to seep into the fabric of my life in a positive way. So, what i expect from this course is the continuation and deepening of that process, which i hope will continue to expand and take hold of (and uproot) the mind-stuff and emotional-stuff that’s begun to be increasingly receptive to the Reforming Light…. one video described life and the perceived disparate sources of power animating the world as croutons in a bowl of soup, which makes me laugh as i imagine myself swimming with a leisurely backstroke in a cosmic-sized, boundless bowl of soup.
