Obiesie,
Yes, this is normal. We are like little children who are entering the world of the adults.
When a little child learns a new language, it is not from studying with books, it is from coming into contact with strange new sounds and slowly piecing the world together.
That is what we are doing in relation to the spiritual world.

Seth@KabUJose,
You are free to study whatever you want.
However if you try to mix it with kabbalah it will lead to a lot of confusion and waste time.
We are learning a method. A special and unique method.
If you like it, try it.
Seth@KabUPedro,
Yes, this is correct.
However, not in our normal “mind”.
If we were ants and a bird came and ate us, it would seem terrible.
But if we zoom out and see that we are ants, we are 1 out of 1,000,000 ants and there is one bird who ate us, but she is 1 of 1,000,000 birds and the bird lives in 1 tree in the forest that has 1,000,000 trees. And that forest is …..
You understand that in spirituality, everything is 1 and only 1.
Everything is in perfect harmony.
So from that perspective, I don’t look at the phenomenon of this material world in the same way anymore.
Seth@KabUCarlos,
In this course we have provided dozens of pages of texts and hours of video content.
While you are free to explore any of the writings of Baal HaSulam (Yehudah Ashlag), we strongly recommend that you go through all of the course material with us step by step. If you read everything and watched everything from this course, pick what you enjoyed the most and re-read it or re-watch it and make notes in a notebook or in a document. After that, if you still have time and are hungry for more, review the rest of the materials for the semester.
It is difficult to understand and takes time to understand, but we don’t receive spiritual attainment through our mind, but through our emotions. To that end, we need to prepare a vessel in us in order to feel what the kabbalists are writing to us.
Good luck,
Seth@KabUFrancisco,
You described what is happening very accurately.
If you have a child, then this explanation will be clear as day. A child does not sit in a classroom to learn how to speak and how to walk, etc. A child is placed among the upper ones and then through that influence, all of the forces that are in the lower one are awakened and the lower one develops.
What happens in our world is a branch of the spiritual root.
You couldn’t ask you two year old to describe how she is learning to speak, but she does.We do though as adults have a mind. While it is not the mind or any wise one who reaches spirituality, in order to prevent us from becoming blind religious adherents, it is good to take notes and use our mind. Warning, not to get stuck in the mind because after all this is a wisdom of the heart, but the mind sorts things and organizes things and that is important.
For example, you are learning that creation is a will to receive pleasure. So examine yourself, examine life around you, can you prove that? You should be able to see that you don’t lift a finger unless you feel that you will gain more pleasure from lifting it than if you left it there resting, etc.In short, you sound like you are on the right path.
Get a little more comfortable with being confused. Imagine if your baby could verbalize her feelings when you are teaching her to walk and you move away from her. That’s pretty frightening, but we know that she will start to walk and from there the sky is the limit.
