No, no one knows what it is. It’s reserved for special souls at high spiritual degrees. And a person can’t tolerate ordinary shame either. Everything one does is to avoid it. Otherwise one would live much differently.
The Gmar Tikkun is the final correction but after that, more happens. Only perhaps the greatest Kabbalists have had a glimpse of what. So, I don’t know about the ultimate fulfillment. But Eyn Sof means no limit, meaning according to the size of the vessel, you can fill it with no limit.
Yes, there’s a correlation between lines and Sefirot.
Many books talk about the written contents of what’s in Kabbalistic texts. We only consider, for purposes of rising from our world to the spiritual world while we’re still alive, the Zohar, the writings of ARI, Baal HaSulam, and Rabash. The rest is philosophy. We’re practitioners.
All that happens when we study Kabbalah is that what we already are is revealed to us more and more. I’m a desire to receive for myself, and there’s nothing else in me. But I still think there is something besides that. A light needs to shine a little deeper and then I’ll see that. And that will be good because there’s an Upper Force that is ready to help me with every little request that is in this direction. But I don’t ask yet because for me there’s no real need. That’s why it needs to first be revealed to me, so I’ll be able to truly ask.
Try not to kick yourself as that doesn’t help whatsoever and there’s no commandment to feel bad. Baal HaSulam writes that the difference between a simple person and a great righteous is in how much of the evil in him is revealed. Everyone else around me feels just fine because all the matter of correction is still concealed in them. This is why Baal HaSulam writes that he is not sorry about the evil that got revealed, but he’s sorry for the evil that remains hidden from view. With what’s revealed I can already tell the Creator that He made me like this, and I demand that he change it.
