Roger,
How do you know when you are in Spain?
You bought a plane ticket, you packed a bag. Exactly what wind conditions and delays, turbulence, that you didn’t control, but you did many things that are clear in order to arrive.
And when you are there, it’s clear that it’s not Alaska. It feels different, you feel that it is a different place.
If course in spirituality it doesn’t matter to us about getting on an airplane, but we acquire new vessels of perception and with them we feel.
We feel the eternal existence that exists outside of our self serving ego.
Seth@KabUMichael,
When we look into space, we see a lot of empty black space.
But today there exists many very powerful telescopes.
If you look at that empty black space with the powerful telescope, you will see billions and billions of stars.
The stars are there, but we don’t see them with our eyes as they are, we need some tool to look through and then we can see the light.
Reality is full of the endless light of the Creator.
How can we feel it?
We don’t even know where it is.
How can we find it, where can we look, what tools do we need?
If you see a newborn baby, he doesn’t know who is his mother and who is his father. He doesn’t know what world he lives in.
We are like those babies towards the spiritual world.
However, for us, we can turn to the Upper One and start to feel that we He is so much bigger than us and we just want to flow with Him, to go with Him, like a parent picks up the child and the child can go everywhere with him.
The advancement on the left line means that we are given a feeling of emptiness. This gives us a place to ask Him to help us because we feel we are helpless without him.
Then we advance on the right line which means He fills that emptiness and we give thanks to Him and we fee wholeness like we lack nothing.
And like this we advance left, right, left right, higher and higher.
Good luck my friend,

We are in special period called the Last Generation, which is really the first generation to enter spiritual development as a collective.
It is the last generation of our corporeal development, it means that now it is time for us to rise.|
In general, years in the wisdom of kabbalah refer to changes of inner states.
Seth@KabUWilliam,
There are many awakenings that we receive along the way.
The spiritual attainment that we are learning about, that the books of kabbalah write to us about means that the light of creation, called the Light of Hochma, dresses in the Light of Hassadim. This means that through many efforts on our part, we have built between us a vessel for the endless light to dwell in our midst. This is called the construction of the degrees of the soul, Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida.
It is not something that happens by surprise or by mistake or from a sequence of coincidences.
Attainment is called that one attains it in his hand, meaning that the same way you hold something in your hand, the attainment will be even closer than that, it will be unmistakable, as if you went to work everyday for a paycheck and then went to buy a car and then you sit in that car and you feel the work of your hands.
Seth@KabUGabor,
We are not monkeys, we are on the degree called speaking. The way the structure is organized, it’s called that there is always 10 Sefirot, not 9, not 11. It means in general and briefly that it’s always a complete structure. If you are born and arrive here, so you have desires for food, sex, family, honor, knowledge, power, etc in some unique combination.
Your neighbor maybe more into power and you more into knowledge, etc but we all have all of these. More than that, we have been developing for more than just what we experience in this lifetime, and more than that, we are connected in an intricate system with all the others, as if all of humanity is one body and we are each a unique organ within that body.In short there is nothing preventing you from progressing, you made it here, now it is all about how much you can increase your desire for spirituality.
Seth@KabUDon,
Everything in creation is the Creator. He operates our reality through two general forces, you know about them, you’ve read about them all your life, in the beginning of the creation of the heaven (+) and earth (-).
The (+) force we call bestowal, that is what emanates from the Creator and enlivens all of reality.And all of reality, creation itself is a will to receive pleasure, a (-) force that manifests on four degrees: inanimate, vegetative, animate and speaking.
Until now we are 100% controlled by that will to receive. Examine yourself and see and the more you can identify this the more you will be able to advance quicker, as it says the Lord is high and the low will see. Specifically when we can see that we are totally governed by Him in everything, he controls all of our desires, then we have a need for Him to give us a second nature, a nature of bestowal like He has.
On the three preceding degrees: inanimate, vegetative, animate, they receive instinctually. On the fourth degree, our degree, we receive with the intention to receive for ourselves at the expense of others. This is what separates our quality from that of the Creator.
We will remain a desire to receive since His goal is to fill us with delight so we have to receive, however we need to receive with the intention that our reception will be to bring contentment to Him.So don’t worry we are not sinning now, we are 100% led by our desires. We need to be free of our desires, half way between bestowal and reception and there is the choice.
So for us in our preparation stage we are like little kids, trying as much as we can to think that all we do should be for His sake and to try in our hearts to aim all of our life for His sake and along with the study and the practical work in the Kabbalistic group called a “10” that you’ll have the opportunity to work with in the future, you will develop towards this.
Good luck,
Seth@KabU
