Shadrak,
In order to understand the worldview of kabbalah, you need to get very clear about how these forces operate.
There is one, complete and integral force that operates all of reality. There are infinite number of forces that are responsible for each and every thing.
For example if you want to successfully launch a rocket to space, you are dealing with hundreds of different parameter including the the gravity of earth, the gravity of other planets, resistance, force, etc. You can call gravity “Satan” since it pulls you down and you are trying to go up, but a smart, experienced scientist relates clearly to all these forces and parameters and learns to work with them.
If you want to understand your desires, there is clear science about that and we will also study the root of it all much more in further lessons.
First of all if you don’t want to do something, then hang out with people who also don’t want to do that and also don’t get in close proximity to the thing you don’t want.
What we do on the spiritual path is raise the importance of spirituality and share that with each other so that that is more important than other desires and then you are not fighting other desires.
No one has to tell you not to play with baby toys. Why? Because other things are more important to you now.

Tyler,
It sounds like you are making sense of things, at least starting to.
Please clarify your question. I’m not clear what you are asking. Try to formulate the question clearly and one question at a time. No big introductions, just the question.

Amy,
True.
And there is more to learn.
From our perspective, it does seem that if I don’t feed myself, shower, brush my teeth, no hand is coming from the sky to floss for me and cook me dinner.
So there is more to the story, that we are made in such a way that on the one side we come to feel that there is none else besides Him and on the other side, everything that is in our power to do, we must do.
These two opposites will come into focus and there we will attain what we are looking for.
Seth@KabULori,
Here is some writing about it from our teacher the Kabbalist Michael Laitman.
