Qeli,
If you’re confused, that is a good sign that you have entered into preparation phase of the study, you stepped into something new and its not like the life I knew until now.
If you are asking what is the point of my life, then the writings of the kabbalists are working on you.  This question is exactly what the wisdom of kabbalah comes to a person for.
If a person does not have the question about the meaning of life  and can be satisfied by this corporeal world then they don’t need the wisdom of kabbalah yet.

I don’t want to calm you down, because your fire and questions are fuel to find answers, but I want you to know that everything is ok.
All that happened is that a stronger light was shined in the room and now you see dust that was there before but couldn’t see.  Nothing else changed but that you see more and that revelation causes you to feel the nature of our will to receive that He made, which is opposite from Him.
Now is the time for a prayer.  When a deficiency is born like that, that is the time to turn to Him.  As you said, a prayer is not to change the Creator, a prayer is to change us, talk to Him like your closest friend, tell Him what you feel and ask Him to open your heart to be like Him.
The truth is we are as far from the Creator as East is from West, there is no greater distance between us and Him.
(Of course He couldn’t be closer, but to us, we are 100% to receive and He is 100% to bestow and in spirituality distance is measured by quality and we are of opposite qualities).
So we are as far from Him as can be and before you didn’t feel that and now in the light that shone for you you illuminated that.  Now you can begin to feel some of the words of King David in the Psalms.

Live a normal life in this world, home, vacation, exercise, family, now, we are responsible for our spirituality in our free time.  When we have time that is not taken by work and family, etc. during the time that we set aside for our study, that is when we want to yearn for all of the things that you wrote.  If you can separate these two worlds inside of yourself for now, you will be able to advance in a practical and clear way.
Later as you become used to this work it will start to settle in your mind and heart and you will be able to live in both worlds simultaneously, but that is not for now.

Let me know how you are going and I look forward to seeing you in our live classes soon,

Claudio,
We are creatures that live in this world.
This world has natural laws such as gravity and the laws of thermodynamics and electromagnetism.
And we also live in a human society that has traffic laws and laws against stealing.
There is some shared reality between the creatures.
The kabbalists come and begin to describe the reality to us, who we are, what forces are operating on us and where we have free will.
And each person whose heart awakens is brought to the books and to the group and he can try to implement what he is learning and then he will know for himself if this place is worthwhile for him.

Angel,

In order to fill the creation with unbounded delight the Creator had to create a vessel that would enjoy that unbounded delight.

Jai Prakash,

Yes, we all have such complaints.  What matters in our spiritual advancement is our effort towards the goal.  We need always to discern whether we are in it or not; if not, we need to try to do it.

As they write, “Do what is in your hand and in your power to do.”

There is no natural inclination with which a person is born that can help him in advancing toward the Creator; in this everyone is equal.  There are people who are more sensitive, with better upbringing, better qualities…it doesn’t help in spirituality.

We will help each other and advance together,

Dave,
Baal HaSulam wrote it like this,

“It is known that nothing is revealed in its true form, only through its opposite, “As the advantage of the light from within the darkness.” This means that each thing points to another, and precisely by the opposite of something, the true existence of its opposite can be perceived.

Hence, it is impossible to attain something in complete clarity if its parallel is absent. For example, it is impossible to evaluate and say that something is good, if its opposite, pointing to the bad, is absent. It is the same with bitterness and sweetness, love and hate, hunger and satiation, thirst and saturation, separation and adhesion. It turns out that it is impossible to come to love adhesion prior to acquiring the hate of separation.”

So what can we do?
We are a will to receive, that is what the Creator made and we don’t have a sense that can feel the eternal light of fulfillment that surrounds us right now.
First thing we can do is to identify what He made.  To feel it, to look around and identify it everywhere, in every blade of grass that reaches for the sun, in every squirrel that runs to fill his belly, to all of the people around me who run to fill the desires that arise in them without even knowing where these desires come from.
And we are not judging them as good or bad, we are much more scientific and understanding.  Just to recognize it, see it operating everywhere and be an undercover agent, don’t go ruining your relationships by telling everyone around you how smart you are that you see the system operating them.  But start winking at the Creator as you see His handiwork.  And then start to notice yourself, how everything you do is only to fill yourself and also, don’t judge it as good and bad, just see that that is what He made.

And slowly, as we study more and draw more light that influences us, we will want to be more like Him, who is all love and bestowing and then we will come to see that the nature He gave us is keeping us separated from being like Him, adhered to Him, and then after we have gone through a recognition period and a stabilization period, we then want to escape from our will to receive (all while still remaining a normal person in this world, but inside we go through a transformation), this is called the Exodus from Egypt.  We will learn about it in the future.

Francesco,
By planting ourselves in the spiritual environment, just like planting a seed in fertile soil with sun and water, then the forces operate on it and it will grow to be a big, strong tree that bears fruit.
Be under the influence of the books of the kabbalists that we will study together to draw the reforming light.  Create for yourself a framework inside the spiritual group, we will learn about this more in the next few weeks and you will feel how reality slowly, slowly opens up to you.
