Walt,
Let’s look at what the kabbalists are telling us from their vantage point, from what they feel from those degrees. They are telling us that we don’t know what the Creator is at the degree called “essence”. What we know is what emanates from there, what comes out of there. We can relate this to Beethoven. I can’t hold the essence of Beethoven, but he can clothe his feelings into his music and then when I hear his music I can feel emotions that came from him.
The kabbalists are perceiving lights that are coming from the Creator and writing to us about what they attain.
They tell us that the light of Ein Sof (without end) comes out of the Creator. The abundance comes out and the Creator created one creation, a desire to receive that abundance.  At the end of four phases of development that complete desire is called Malchut of Ein Sof. She is a vessel 100% to receive 100% of the abundance.
Malchut has a problem, she is 100% opposite from the Creator.
So many operations and processes will happen until a shattering of the vessel happens and the sparks of bestowal and reception are totally mixed together, all mixed up. Then begins the work from below to above where finally after billions of years of material development we are conscious (kind of) and now we start to connect these broken pieces back together. The process of doing this work gives us the feeling of begin one with the Creator, at first 1% then 2%, etc until the entire Malchut receives (because she is a desire to receive, she must receive) but she receives only with the intention to be like the Creator, to be a bestower.
When that process is complete, it is called the end of correction when Malchut of Ein Sof receives 100% of the Creator’s abundance and uses it all in order to bestow back to the Creator. That will require all of creation to participate 🙂
Seth@KabUJoshua,
We are a will to receive with the intention that we are receiving only for ourselves.
We go through a process whereby we invert that intention from 0% in order to bestow all the way to 100% to bestow. So we remain as a desire to receive, but the vessel has been purified and receives in order to bestow. This process of corrections is called the 125 degrees.
Ask something in the flow in of what we are studying.  That’s a better way to advance with the kabbalists. Let’s go along with the material, it is working on us and developing our vessel to perceive what the kabbalists are conveying to us in their writings.
Looking forward,
Seth@KabURDB,
You won’t have to wait long 🙂
This is the matter that the Creator made…the will to receive.
Get to know.
Don’t judge it now, but observe it like a scientist. See how all of your moves, your thoughts are running to satisfy you. We wouldn’t move our hand to scratch our cheek if we thought we’d get more pleasure leaving our hand on the table. And observe it in the squeril outside on the lawn and in the bus driver and in everything you see on the inanimate, vegetative and animate degrees of nature.
First things first recognize where you are and what forces are operating us.
Everything will develop naturally.
Keep yourself immersed in the study materials.
It will open for you bit by bit.
Seth@KabUPeter,
We are a creature who is created to want to receive pleasure.
We are lucky enough that even when our material desires are filled, there remains some other desire in us that wants more. This new desire, the point in our heart yearns to be filled with something more.
If we said to a 10 year old kid playing soccer with his friends that his goal will be to take care of his family one day and cover the mortgage and arrange a vacation and the landscaping around the house, he would have no vessels to feel anything you are talking about. For that reason, I hesitate to just say, yeah, equivelence of form with the Creator, because we are working to figure out, what is the Creator? Who am I? What is this wisdom? etc…
But in short, yes, we are on the our way to attaining equivelence of form with the Creator which means that (we will remain as receivers since the only thing the Creator created is a desire to receive, but in our intention) we will aim 1% to bestow and then 2% ….to 100% when we have ascended all 125 degrees (5 partzufim x 5 sefirot x 5 worlds) and corrected our entire intention to receive to be in order to bestow.  That is called the end of correction when the entire will to receive is transformed to be able to receive all of the endless light of the Creator, not egoistically, but like the Creator, that it is for the sake of all.
Seth@KabUbehzad,
The ego will accompany us all the way to the end of correction.
The ego is what the Creator made. As much as he is a force of bestowal, he made a force of reception opposite to it in order to be able to fill it with all of his delight.
However we have a problem, as a receiver, we are full of his delight, BUT we are opposite from Him. Therefore we have our work in correcting the intention from receiving for ourselves to receiver all of that delight for the sake of the Creator.
