Zeinab,
All of our bodily desires renew naturally, hunger, sleep, etc.
Unlike our bodily desires, our spiritual desire is given to us and then it is upon us to develop it consciously, through our efforts. Through our study and through the work with the others on the path with us we build an inner system in our emotions of what the Creator is, what is it that we are aiming to attain. After all the Creator does not change, the light of the Creator fills all of reality endlessly with no limitation. It is only upon us to prepare our spiritual vessels for this.
That is the purpose of our study to draw lights upon us that clarify what is this spiritual desire, where is it and raises us to it? When the vessel is ready, the light immidiatly fills it.
To correct our will to receive we are given the world around us. And the work begins with the small circle of those who are studying with us, who are playing this game with us, we will learn about this much more in the next semesters. From there we will expand the circles wider and wider until we include the whole of reality in our hearts.
Seth@KabUHi Leah,
We are generally referring to perception of the spiritual reality.
Our corporeal 5 senses are roots of the upper sefirot.
Hochma = eyes
Bina = ears
etc..
But altogether we are referring to opening up a completely different perception of reality, something eternal.
Seth@KabUJose,
Here is a blog post from our teacher about 1995:

Seth@KabUAaron,
Everything in reality is part of one system that changes form over and over again as it moves through time. A watermelon seed falls to the ground, rots, opens, sprouts and a new watermelon plant grows filled with 100 new seeds. It’s one force that is developing and changing forms along the way.
We humans are unique from all of the rocks, plants and animals in that our heart and mind are developed to such an extent that we can learn from the past and grow 100 times in one lifetime of our body, maybe 1000 times in one lifetime of our body. We can develop our desire for something eternal and then when the protein body’s time has come and it passes, but soul which we reached continues on forever.
Seth@KabUzeinab,
We are a will to receive. That will not change. That is what the Creator created.
He wants to fill us will delight. So, we need to have the quality to receive.
The problem is that being receivers we are 100% opposite from Him who is the bestower.
So we can receive or not receive, but by not receiving, we don’t fulfill the plan of creation, we remain eternally empty and the Creator’s plan of creating a creature and filling it with delight cannot come to fruition.
So there was a correction on creation that was made, that the creature can receive, but receive in order to give contentment to the Creator.
That is called the correction of creation.
When you have completed these fundamental courses you can enter the graduate environment where we being to study together the texts that describe all of these processes and draw the lights upon us that helps us go through this transformation.
In short, we are talking about rising from the degree of beast where everything one does is for his own sake to the degree of Adam, of man, to be similar to the Creator. As His intention is to bestow, so our intention is to bestow.
This comes from growing the desire for spirituality by drawing the light from the books of the kabbalists and engaging in the inner, practical kabbalah that happens between the kabbalists.
Seth@KabUHi,
<p style=”text-align: left;”>We together are studying a system, a method, that was revealed by people that we can call scientists, although it’s not what we today think of as a scientist in a lab coat. These kabbalists are people who discovered some thing and and recorded their findings and taught them to their students, and the subsequent generations who are also able to attain results as well. However, these attainments are in perception of reality, inner perception, inner feelings. This was called religion, meaning attainment of godliness, which is very different than what we would call religious belief today, which is very far removed from attaining godliness. Therefore, the work of the Kabbalists is concerned with adhesion, attainment of godliness, and it’s not a fantasy, and it’s not in a persons imagination, but it is actually an attainment as it says, as if holding in one’s hand .
