Well Paul, you have many good discernments. We don’t go for the light. We say we do, and if feels like we do, but we are, and we have the ability to work with the vessels and according to the vessels that is what light dwells in the vessels as it says you have made Me. We make the Creator.
After all, the light forms the vessel and the light will fill the vessel, so where is our participation?
Now we are learning about the operations of the light. As we study and try to connect more to the sources, the friends who are studying with me, the light works on my matter and I feel I want, I don’t want, I like, I don’t like and more and more I experience changes, up down in out and by this I’m advancing, I’m discovering who I am and what the Creator is doing with me. He is making me confused and then awakened, He is throwing me to the left and to the right. We don’t measure a kabbalist by how high he is somewhere, we measure from the distance, the “par” it’s called in Hebrew, the gap between the descents and the ascents, this is where the spiritual movement takes place that we slowly slowly attach everything to Him. He gives us a portion, on the left side and we correct it on the right side and new reshimot appear and again he gives us a portion and we admit it into kedusha (sanctity).
The greater you become, the more light that shines, the more you will reveal your true nature, what the Creator created, which is 100% a will to receive and by doing what is written and we’ll learn how to do it more and the role of the spiritual environment, we will correct our vessel and the light of bestowal dwells in there.

Well, we came to something very special and unique. We arrived at the wisdom of kabbalah and it has a certain language.
Music has a language, it’s Italian for the most part. In musical notation, Italian is used. Adagio means a slow tempo, Crescendo means to gradually get louder, an Arpeggio are chord notes played in succession rather than simultaneously.
Science uses Greek. Delta means the change between things. Sigma is the symbol for the sum of things, etc.
In the wisdom of kabbalah we use Hebrew, that’s the language of this science. It is very precise.
It does not speak of phenomenon in this world, it speaks of phenomenon in the spiritual world.
Adam HaRishon cannot fit into a clothing from this physical world because this name refers to something spiritual which is specifically not something physical. Adam HaRishon we can say is a system, we can say it is the network of the common soul. We will learn more about, but now try to feel something new, something that the kabbalist is writing to us and leave the previous definitions that you brought on the side for now.
We are going to depict a spiritual world inside of our feelings. We need to get used to all of this new language.

You are right, there is the spiritual world and there is the corporeal world.  Our corporeal life was not just given to us so we could have something to eat everyday. It is an inseparable part of our spiritual advancement. But we don’t teach a person in first grade physics, we learn simple math first and then we build on it. So first we need to stabilize our corporeal life. Work, family, health. That should be normal, healthy, comfortable, after all this is what the Creator gave as a creature like all the creatures.And after that we have free time. With our free time we invest in the spiritual environment. We make spirituality important to us. And since it is important, it effects us and we start think about it more and work with it more and then, with those spiritual thoughts and discernments we will bring the two worlds together. We are existing in the lowest world and by that we will gradually build a ladder that rises to the top of creation.

If a desire arises in me to watch a football game, there is nothing good or bad in that, it is a desire that arises in me. But if I am aiming for the goal of reaching the Creator and this game hinders me somehow, then the raw desire becomes corrupted in me.
However, if I had already planted myself in a spiritual environment that advertises to me the greatness of the Creator, His abundance and bestowing His love upon creation, then that influences me stronger than the football game. If I don’t have this importance, then I don’t have free choice, but if I have this importance then I can make a choice and if the power of the environment is strong enough on me, then I can desire adhesion with the Creator and then the light fills that deficiency as there is no light without a vessel.

We are dealing with a method.
We are a will to receive.
We want to receive pleasure, by design.
We suffer because we can’t receive pleasure endlessly, we are always empty again and the giving is much more than the receiving so we always want more.
So to stop the suffering and try to correct this, the creature stops receiving (called tzimtzum).
So now the creature is not receiving.
But the creature is not fulfilling the purpose of creation which is to create a created being and fill it with fulfillment.
So the creature decides to receive, but only with an intention to bestow.
Now the creature can endlessly receive since it has acquired vessels of bestowal opposite the vessels of reception.
We will study all of this later in the The Study of the Ten Sefirot by Baal HaSulam.
There is nothing “mystical”. What seems like a miracle is only something that we did not yet perceive that level of the laws of nature.Please send the request for the video to Ruth and the team at [email protected] and they will be able to send to you!
Great work,

If you are writing the script, attribute it to Him, ascribe it to Him.
There is a hero in the story.
The police chase the hero.
The tax man comes after the hero.
The girlfriend breaks up with the hero.
And then through all of this, the hero discovers some power he didn’t know he had. He would have never looked for it if it weren’t for these problems, so then he discovers his power and makes it to the castle in the sky and he sees that the Creator prepared it all for him so that he would be able to find Him up there.
That is to ascribe it all to Him.
You will have 1000 of thoughts and clarifications and emotions as you go through “the police chase” and “the tax man”, and of course “the breakup”, but through all of this and by really dealing with them, it gives the hero many emotional clarifications about who is he, what he is really aiming for in his life, etc.
