Zorica,
1. You’re a very healthy egoist and you’re starting to recognize it. So you have a head start. Be patient. Nothing is wrong. You are discovering our true nature.
2. This means that this is your nature. Some people get pleasure from spending some people get pleasure from not spending. It’s not important.
But all of us on the path work to grow our desire for spirituality regardless of the nature we were born with.3.  You are here, so you’ve never been closer.
I recommend spending more time reading the lesson material, if you have time read it and watch it again. Make notes. It’s time for a software update on your operating system 🙂
Have some patience, take good notes and keep asking questions.

Devorah,
I don’t know if it was intentional. But it may have been a stumbling block.
It is known in the work that Jew, Israel or Hebrew all refer to qualities in a person.
A person also contains in him the 70 nations from Zeir Anpin.
Zeir Anpin is composed of seven Sefirot, and each Sefira of ten, which totals 70.
We will study the structure of reality in later classes, but when kabbalists speak of Israel they are describing a desire in a person Yashar El, straight to the Creator.
A person also has all of the other desires on the inanimate, vegatative and animate degrees. This is not considered spiritual but a person must live according to the laws of nature of those degrees, he must eat, and work, and provide a comfortable life for the family, etc. That is on the level of animate like every animate creature, some sleep a lot, some not as much, some eat meat, some eat vegatation, some are aggressive, some are passive ,etc.
But on the degree of human, the spiritual degree, we are given the books and the kabbalistic group and the teacher to direct us towards the Creator.
So it doesn’t matter if my body, if my 70 nations are eating, sleeping, making and raising children, working, exercising, resting, above all of that on the degree of my soul, on the degree of the desire of Israel, I am in adhesion with the Creator.
Seth@KabUMaria,
It is impossible to dominate the ego.
This is the creation that the Creator created and without it we will not be able to receive the abundance that He prepared for us.
All of our work is to increase the love between us so that loving the friends is more important than receiving for ourselves. This is called the correction of creation, where all that we necessarily must receive is received only for the benefit of the others.
Seth@KabUsteve,
All of the names that we have for the Creator do not describe the Creator objectively. Each of the names is according to how we attain Him. When we attain Him, we discover how our soul consists of four parts, called Yud, Hey, Vav, Hey (י-ה-ו-ה).
It is impossible to realize God in language, but only in desire, that is what it means that it is forbidden, it means impossible. We thus name the Creator according to our sensation of the Creator, and there is thus nothing to be afraid of regarding the name of the Creator.
The prohibition means that it is impossible to actually “name” Him objectively.
