    Dorothy,
    We are dealing here only with attaining the Creator.  It is a very practical method.
    If you are looking to delve in all sorts of other rituals, practices and methods, this method is not going to work for you.
    We are studying authentic books passed to us from kabbalist to disciple in an unbroken chain.  Many of the other methods that you mentioned stole a spark from the wisdom of kabbalah and tried to exploit it to manipulate reality for egoistic purposes.
    Our goal is to bring the light of the Creator into reality in order to raise reality to the degree of the Creator, good for all.
    If this is what you want, you will find it.
    If not, I think you will need to keep searching for the right place for you.

    Laurel,
    I’m sorry to hear that you and your husband are going through such a difficult time.
    I’m sure you can reflect on your life and see how it is times like this that bring out very big changes in us.
    These things happen in our lives and they help us to come out of ourselves and ask the bigger questions, to discover who we are and what is happening here.
    You have found a treasure here and you will find comfort and answers.
    Simultaneously, it is important to maintain a normal life in this world, it is not good to be isolated from friends and family.  Maybe there is something you can do regarding that as well.

    lukasz,
    All of reality is built of ten sefirot. That’s it.
    All of our senses are the same structure, the development of our thoughts are the same structure, our desires are the same structure.
    Keter
    Hochma
    Bina
    Zeir Anpin (contains: Hesed, Gevurah, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod)
    Malchut

    From this comes the structure of our senses, our organs, etc.
    Regarding thoughts and desires, that’s a different subject.
    We are at our essence a desire.  Our thoughts arise in order to fulfill our desires.

    Scott,
    Let’s say as the kabbalists do that we are in a field of endless light right now, complete fulfillment.
    But let’s say for example that you brought a cat to see your favorite band.
    The cat sits there licking her paws and you are dancing, singing, reminicing, crying, jumping and the cat…nothing, no reaction.
    So, similarly the cat is in a room filled with energy and doesn’t feel a thing.
    We are in a field of endless fulfillment and don’t feel a thing.
    Why?
    The cat doesn’t have vessels to feel what you feel.  She has ears, but the vessel is not the ear itself, the ear is the preparation for the vessel, the vessel is the desire to enjoy that is developed in you to feel so many more nuances in the air then the cat can feel.

    Now let’s go to our second point.  The kabbalists write to us that the Creator wants to create a creature and fill it with all of that endless light.  Since there is no time in spirituality, that “action” is done the moment that thought arises.  So opposite that bestowing force of fulfillment appeared a receiving force big enough to receive endless fulfillment.  That complete receiving desire is called Malchut of Ein Sof.  We are not yet talking about anything material, there is no big bang yet, not this world, nothing material yet.
    We will learn all of this in great detail in later classes.
    But when you wrote about some god level egoism, you’re barking up the right tree we can say 🙂

    Sharon,
    First, you need to clean up the previous concepts that your brought with you to the wisdom of kabbalah.
    We are not bestowing yet.  To spirituality bestow is a very high degree that means that a person acquired a spiritual screen and is working in two worlds, this world and the spiritual world.
    You are referring to how people behave in this world.
    According to this world, you need to take care of yourself like every creature must.
    In the meantime, separate the spiritual definitions from earning a living and taking care of your necessities.
    On top of your necessities you can build your spiritual life.
    Like a house that has a foundation in the dirt and upstairs is a beautiful table set with all the delights, but nevertheless, it sits on a foundation of rock.
    We also need to stabilize, food, family, money, etc and when we have at least what we need to be healthy and stable we can acquire the Torah.
