Marta,
Read the story again and feel that everything that is being described there is happening in our desire.
After you have done that exercise, if there is another question ask and I will answer.
Seth@KabUVarda,
If you take dirt and mix it with water and develop it for billions of years and burn it and stretch it and compress it and break it until it becomes vegetative life and then keep developing it until it becomes an animal and keep developing it until it becomes a person and now raise that person to the degree of attainment of the Creator, so that is a complex process.
Religion is a particular stop along the way to the goal of uniting humanity that is a vessel in which the light of the Creator will dwell.
So I’m not suprised that people who are more primitive in their desires adhere to customs and culture that they feel connects them to something.
The quesiton for you to ask is what is in our hands to do now that our point in the heart awakened and we start to feel that there is more to life than what religion shows me.
Seth@KabUBolevia,
In the same way that a child cannot understand the pleasure that a grandparent receives from gazing upon her grandchildren, similarly from our state we cannot relate to a pleasure that is on a degree above us.
Think of the pleasures of a cat which is on the animate level and your pleasures on the human level, now imagine that from spirituality which is above our degree compared to our degree.
The difference is that the gap between us and the spiritual is greater than the gap between the cat and us.
Seth@KabUEnoon,
Dreams are something different than the sixth sense.
Here is a blog post by our teacher the kabbalist Rav Laitman where he explains dreams:

Enjoy,
Seth@KabUBoke,
The wisdom of kabbalah is a spiritual science. Because of that, when we are engaged in spirituality, there is no connection to the corporeal world.
On the other hand, everything in the corporeal world is like an imprint from the spiritual worlds.
Therefore, we cannot attain spirituality through physical actions, but we can arrange our physical life so that we can reveal spirituality.
The first thing one must do is establish his foundation in the study.
If one builds his foundation on a rickety foundation, the structure will inevitably fall.
So as you study, do research on yourself.
You study that the Creator created a will to recieve, that that is the entire creation that develops according to His name Yud – Hey – Vav – Hey, we see that in our world as the will to receive on the level on inanimte, vegatative, animate and speaking.
Do you see this? Do you see that all of reality is different degrees of the will to receive?
Now do research on yourself. Discover that everything you do is only for self benefit. Even when you do mercy upon another it is to make you feel better, or for honor or respect, or to calm you down, many reasons.
So like this step by step as you study, you test it on yourself and brick by brick as you test and empirically determine what is what and build a foundation. And the higher the structure will be, the deeper the foundation has to be.One goes through many descents in order to discover a need for the Creator. Before the descent, he didn’t need Him so much. And then the light fills that empty space and he ascends. When one ascends, that is the time to engage more in the study since once he descends he relies on the framework he prepared for himself.
In this way, we reveal each correction starting with the smallest until we reach the end of the corrections.
