Melanie,
Yes, the kabbalists reveal to us that the nature of the Creator is Good who does Good and all that extends from Him is good.
So what is left for us is to be with Him.

You 100% got 50% of the message 🙂
You’re right about our nature, about free will and that we need to flip the polarity.
Regarding, ‘letting go of control’, it’s the right idea, but we can’t actually. What we can do is trade one reward for another reward.
And actually, that is a very good start.
It’s a paradox that as a kabbalah student we get used to, on the one hand He is doing everything, on the other hand in order for me to realize that and participate with Him, He requires me to make a lot of effort and in that effort I come to the realizations.

Food, sex, family, money, honor, knowledge, power…you can add “respect” with honor.
These are all desires that are given to us by nature. The first ones in the list belong to all animals, the later ones in the list belong to the higher animals, like us who are on our way to spirituality.
We need to use these desires to propel us forward.
For example in an uncorrected society we honor whoever has the most money or power, we envy them and want to be like them.
In a corrected society we honor those who are advancing spiritually and have attained spiritual degrees and we want to be like them and this advances us.

You’re right, you’re right, you’re right.
Now how would we be able to feel something that has no boundary, not limited by time, space, motion?
Only from its opposite.
The process goes like this, we arrive at the wisdom of kabbalah after the point in our heart awakens, we are filled with passion.
We start to learn the fundamentals of who we are, what forces are operating in me, in the world around me, etc….what am I actually and who is everyone else….
By studying from the sources in a kabbalistic group, we draw upon us an influence from above. It’s not something mystical, you can imagine at the World Cup when a few billion people are watching a game, the energy is very high and in the stadium and for the players, they absorb some of that energy.
We are talking about something spiritual in kabbalah, but you can get an idea from that example.
When that Upper Light shines on us, it reveals our nature, how we were created, as a will to receive.
This is called the recognition of evil and it happens in degrees.
From this recognition, we are able to develop what is called raising MA”N (lower waters), in other words a prayer erupts from our heart to escape from the limitations that we discovered.
And like this step by step we will advance.
Good luck,

There was a group that reached this degree at Mt. Sinai after exiting from Egypt.  They subsequently fell from that degree, but the reshimot (records/remembrances) remain in them. This is why some people today are more disposed to this, more prepared for this. We should remember that those people of Israel went into a 2000 year exile when the Second Temple was destroyed 2000 years ago and those sparks mingled all among the nations and now those sparks that were spread to the four corners of the world are awakening.Whoever this desire awakens in our time is called Jew according to how we learn from the kabbalists. These people must connect together and draw light into the world and raise all of humanity.
To be like the Creator is to do something for others with no self benefit which is impossible since we are created as a desire that must receive. To correct this, we receive as we must to fulfill the Creator’s desire to give to us, but we receive, only because He wants to give, not because our egos want to receive.

It took 10 billion years until our home planet formed and became a suitable place for something to take place that would later become life. It took billions more until plants evolved and even more until animals and our ancestors climbed down from trees a few hundred thousand years ago, so it’s no a suprise that all humanity hasn’t awakened to higher desires yet.
Everything is speeding up, the distance between inanimate to vegetative was billions of years. From a prehistoric man until us is only a few hundred thousand, everything is in our hands, if we unite and draw the light sufficiently we’ll draw all humanity with us much more quickly.
