That’s what we’re working on, moving away from the imagination that I’m in a corporeal reality – because I’m unwilling to take on the conditions of being in a spiritual world.
Hi Sandra,
There’s really no language for that, few have ever attained or even glimpsed it, and so it’s only mentioned here and there. We have a few excerpts in the Zohar https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/XTxHufIN and The Tree (HaIlan) by Baal HaSulam, which is essentially just a diagram.
(1) What does it mean that He “hears” those prayers?
That you always get a response, a change, if you ask.
(2) Do we keep approaching the Creator with our brokenness, even when it seems pointless?
It registers with even greater value upon that feeling of pointlessness. But in every state our prayers are valuable. “Many pennies accumulate into a great sum.”
(3) How do we regard our prayers to the Creator in our lowly state, far from Lo Lishma and even farther from Lishma?
I still have to ask Him from where I am. The path is a series of requests that start from exactly where I am in relation to my group and the Creator.
(4) Are there any excerpts or articles that can uplift those of us who feel like we are in “exile”?

Only you will know the best way to do that. Essentially, I need books, a group, and a teacher. Today I can have a lesson or book playing in my ear most of the time. This will already alter your state, more toward spirituality.
Kabbalists write that there are five parts of the soul – Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida.
It’s not so relevant but in English, Ruach translates to spirit or wind, and Nefesh and Neshama can both translate to ‘soul’.
