Peter,
The Creator only wants to fill the creature with all of His pleasure and endless delight. After Behina Bet where the vessel takes on the quality of bestowal, like the Creator, the vessel wants to bestow, but what can it bestow, it has nothing of its own to bestow. So the vessel decides that in order to fulfill the purpose of creation, which is to fill the vessel with endless delight, it agrees to receive, but it receives so that it can fulfill the Creator’s goal. So now, by receiving, it is bestowing.

Zorica,
This is called the thought of creation.
We do not discover the essence of the Creator, where the thought comes from.
We only can attain the Light that emanates out from the Creator.
It is worthwhile to engage in what we can attain in the meantime.
You walked into school on the first day and want to understand what Einstein understands. It is impossible to convey something like that. You will grow and develop and then your soul will teach you everything. These answers do not go in the ear.
Seth@KabUZorica,
You are asking about what is called the Thought of Creation.
This thought is to create a creature and fill it with endless delight.
From this thought comes everything, all the cascading of the light in four phases and the creation of the kli, the restriction, the screen, the building of the worlds, partzufim and sefirot, all so that the creature would be able to have a way to feel itself separate from the Creator and from there, to feel itself and also the Creator, and then to slowly slowly ascend back up along the exact same steps that the Light took when it cascaded down.
At the end of the 6000 years of correction (qualitative measurement, not astrological time…2000 years the world of Assiyah, 2000 years the world of Yetzirah, 2000 years the world of Beriyah) we complete the correction of the vessel and transform the intention from 100% to receive to 100% to bestow. All of this rises to the world of Atzilut which is then raised all the way back up.
This entire process is described in the authentic books of kabbalah.
After the final correction is called the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th millenia. Our books don’t speak about those degrees at all, this is something that will be revealed after the final correction.
Seth@KabUDavid,
I’m going to leave that up to you to decide and discover.
I can write pages about the difference, but that won’t help you.
Here you found a method, a practical, pragmatic, realistic method, a well worn path that the kabbalists traversed and wrote about so that we can follow after them.
Here is a blog post by our teacher, the kabbalist Rav Laitman.
Also at the bottom of the post you will find links to other posts and you can enjoy the process of discovery as you wish.
Keep in mind, we are not trying to convince anyone at any church or anywhere about what we are studying, we only make the method available, but to a person who must have it, who desires it, who finds it and needs it. There is no coercion in spirituality, only desire.

Good luck!
Seth@KabUaltbalance,
There is a reality that we exist in, and what do our senses really do? How much of the total reality do they let into your body for you to sense? Can you eyes see as far as an eagle’s eye? Can your nose tell you what is on the other side of the door like a dog’s can? Our senses allow just a small amount of reality into our field of perception.Certainly it would be better if we could perceive everything. As we learn later about the process of creation, that original creation contained everything, all of the power and force and delight in existence, but there was no one to sense it, in that perfect reality where everything is completely one, no heiachry, no head and no tail, no front and no back, everything is completely absorbed into that One. In order that we would perceive ourselves and then from there begin to build a perception of what is the Creator that is seemingly outside of us the qualities of the Creator called Bina/bestowal and the quality of the creature called Malchut/reception were mixed. And from this mixture we can feel, we can measure, we can draw close and eventually though many efforts and actions, attain.
Seth@KabUDavid,
Get comfortable with paradoxes in the wisdom of kabbalah. We are on a path towards a spiritual perception. In the simplest example, a child thinks you are a bad dad because you don’t let him have chocolate ice cream at 11pm and stay up until midnight on a school night. So from his perspective how can you both be a good dad and not give him what he wants? In his perspective you are so mean. But from your perspective, which is much higher than his, you seen another reality where the child will be exhausted at school the next day and will suffer because of it.
So we are approaching a spiritual reality where the laws are not the same as our corporeal reality and even though we don’t feel spirituality yet, we need to begin to follow them. Like the child who needs to agree that dad is loving and good even though it makes no sense to him and a child is incapable of this, but we are capable.
The Creator is controlling everything David. Every thought and action arises after many preceding events. Everything that we experience is an “effect” that follows many previous “causes”. All the people around us that you mentioned are running a program of how to get the most pleasure for the least effort. There is no reason to criticize them for this, this is how they are created, this is how all of reality is created. So where is our free will in all this? In the meantime we don’t have any, of course if feels that I chose which shirt to wear and what to eat for lunch, and it must be this way and will continue to be this way for now, and we shouldn’t fight against this, just to be a regular person, eat, work, rest, be healthy, family. And also while living this life, to start to feel the governing force behind everything. Live a normal life on the animate degree and also in your heart and mind begin to feel that there is an operating force, guiding and arranging everything. This is called that the Kabbalist lives in two worlds and later when you develop your spiritual perception you will feel the spiritual world and understand and feel where is the freedom, the freedom to be in love and bestowal like he is love and bestowal and the lower degrees, ….well, now for example you are breathing and your heart is pumping but that doesn’t get in the way or effect you having grapefruit or alternatively orange juice for breakfast. So later your entire animate existence will be and there are reasons why and from it, it will give us a launch pad to many feelings and discernments, but above it on another degree, higher than the corporeal world, you will also exist.
