Ruth,
The Creator made it like this in order that the creature would be able to feel itself and from that feeling to attain the Creator.

Hooman,
It won’t work to try and out smart the kabbalist or find some loophole in what they wrote.
The kabbalists are writing to us from their attainment.
It’s like an optical illusion, we think we are seeing something, but in actuality it is something else.
When we are working with the texts, we try to calibrate what we are seeing with what the kabbalists are seeing, by this we reformat ourselves to see reality through spiritual vessels.

The form of the Creator is to bestow.
Our matter is the will to receive.
The form of our matter is also in order to receive.  We receive with the intention to receive.
We can’t change our matter, which is a will to receive, but we can change our form that we will receive in order to bestow contentment upon the Creator.  In that we can become like Him, our form and His form will be the same.

Hooman,

Aviut is a the degree of selfish desire that separates a person from the Creator.
A simple person who lives simply with no big desire and no ambition cannot attain much but a person in whom his ego is great,  the great ego separates a person from the Creator.   We use this desire as a lever to recognize what the Creator made and how to approach the Creator.

Abe,

I don’t understand your question.

I think you are asking about laws of nature. If you jump off a building is it tough love that you hit the ground?

if a child will harm himself is it tough love that a parent will intervene even if the child is upset about it?

Peter,

if you don’t eat and sleep so there is no spiritual life. If you don’t pay the rent or mortgage there then there is no place to sit quietly to study.  If you neglect your family then you will be distracted from your spiritual work.
We are learning about the cascading of the  upper light from Ein Sof all the way down to this world, the path it takes, the four phases of direct light, the four spiritual worlds, etc.

When the creature begins to rise from below upward it follows those four phases and first we had the 1. inanimate development, starts, planets, etc, then 2. vegetative development, then 3. animate development and finally 4. human.

Those four phases/degrees are found in each of us as well.  The first three are not related for the time being to spirituality, in that we are like all of the rest of nature that must eat, procreate, have a family, do some sort of work, etc. and on top of that we do our spiritual work which is work.

I recommend that you slowly and comfortably organize your corporeal life so you have some time each day or each week depending on your schedule now to study. Maybe it’s 30 mins at first or an hour or more. But something consistent. In the same way that you eat every day, so you also establish a time to connect to the source material, the lesson material each day.
You can do extra if you have time.

You just entered university and you want to do brain surgery. But to be a good brain surgeon you can’t if you’re being pulled in 1000 directions.
Create a stable framework for yourself and review the materials again and again. Over time you will feel that your inner world will start to organize itself as it says one’s soul will teach him…not your imagination, but as the light in the lesson material works on you it’s like a software upgrade.
Work like this for a month. Take it seriously and you will see how you are building a good foundation.  Update me in a month. This is a long path but you can make it shorter by flowing with it.

Good luck,

Seth@KabU

Tamar,
At every moment of our lives we are in this example.  We don’t feel that life is sustained at every. moment by the Creator.  Every breath, every sip of water every heart beat, do we feel the Giver?
We can say that the Creator desires to fill the creature with pleasure.
Imagine that a mother makes a meal for her children.
If the children refuse to eat, maybe the child doesn’t feel well and the mom is upset about it.
But when the child will finally accept the food and eat, the mother feels pleasure.
So the act is not about physically receiving or giving the food, but the act is the internal movement.
