That’s the entire wisdom of Kabbalah, because there’s nothing else to do in all of Creation. Equivalence with the first spiritual degree requires one to be in a group, called a ten, and to measure realistically from day to day his attitude towards it, to try to mold his attitude towards them to be in equivalence of form with the Upper Force’s attitude towards the whole of Creation. When my attitude towards at least some small part of reality (the minimum being ten others) matches the attitude and intention of the Upper Force towards the whole reality, I am also in equivalence with the first spiritual degree, and according to equivalence, I reveal it.
That’s a good question. The truth is there are MANY details that I did not mention. Really there’s an entire ocean here with trillions of particles and laws and currents and creatures, and I told you about it that “there are 7 seas”. Because we don’t need all those details right now. It is much more important and better for us to have this structure in us in its simplicity (and what we did discuss is not so simple, after all, either). This is enough to activate the Upper Light to work upon us, which is all we need.
Now the question here that I do need to answer is that, first of all, Nikudim does not “emit” Light, but the Light departs, and shatters the Kli (vessel), and in this shattered Kli are the Reshimot (impressions/records) of the Light that once filled it. And though I did not mention it, the process is the same with Adam HaRishon as what we had in Nikudim. Except that Adam HaRishon is on a different, coarser level of Aviut, which includes the actual Malchut.
That’s important, and also speaks to your question, in that Malchut is the actual Desire that is the true polar opposite to the Creator, and which is thus the goal of Creation. It is so perfectly opposite to the Upper Light that it’s complete inversion yields the form of the Creator. That is why it is the goal of Creation.
For now, it’s good enough to ask any question you truly have about the material. Later, in addition, we want to try to ask what will help our friends. But we don’t need to worry about that right now because the questions you have, others also have somewhere in them too. So you help them.
Understanding will come after the feeling. Feeling will come before attainment. Meaning there is what is called attainment, which is truly in 5 new senses, a new world. And before that, there is feeling, like a fetus that feels that there is a world beyond this black room it is in. It develops senses, it can perceive more and more. We need to gradually develop those senses. Then we will start to feel and from that, understand. And still later, we are born into the spiritual world, and then it’s not just that we read about, but experience the world Kabbalists write about.
