Kay,
When there is a child in school, the child must do her work, to try, make mistakes, corrections, make all kinds of efforts.
But we as the parents provide the food, the clothes, the pens and paper, we drive the child to school in the morning, we arrange each and every detail so that the child can take a step on her own.
Similarly, the Creator is arranging each and every detail, including all of our mistakes and corrections and all of our efforts, but on our part, we feel independant and in this we build impressions in ourselves about what is this reality. We feel that we are in control. Later we will discover the Creator arranged everything in order to bring us to close contact with Him.

He is the source:Take our sense of sight, for example: we see a wide world before us, wondrously filled. But in fact, we see all that only in our own interior. In other words, there is a sort of a photographic machine in our hindbrain, which portrays everything that appears to us and nothing outside of us.

Ben,
We are not yet talking about the created being, we are still talking about the blueprint of creation, prior to the material world. Learn this process well as the structure, later you will feel how all of the other processes extend from here.
A discernment is some clarification that one makes, a simple example is that you have a pile of rice and you sort the good grains from the bad ones, you clarify what you are doing, what you have in front of you. From a distance it looks like a pile of white rice, then as you get close you realize, oh, there is some sorting to do here, then you start the process and the more you get closer and get your hands in the work, you start to see what you need to do.
Seth@KabURicardo,
The wisdom of kabbalah is a wisdom for all of reality, the study of the system of forces and love in reality.It is not speaking of any religion, not Jewish, Christian, Muslim, …any.
Seth@KabUBen,
We are learning about the structure of the upper worlds and the cascading of the endless upper light, also called the light of ein sof,
ein = without
sof = end
down through many concealments, the word “world” in Hebrew is related to the word “concealment”, each world conceals the upper light.
When the light passes through these 4 phases, there is a vessel who contains all of that endless light!
However she has a problem, she is 100% a receiver of the light while the Creator is 100% a bestower of the light. And the vessel (kli) is now as far from the Creator as possible, endlessly far. It is intolerable but the vessel cannot give anything of its own, so it stops receiving…many operations happen after that, but for the time being we are learning that malchut of ein sof stops receiving. This is called that she made a tzimtzum, this is tzimtzum aleph, the first tzimtzum.
