Christian,
1. This and all we read in the books of the Kabbalists refers to spiritual discernments and perceptions, not to flesh and blood. The original desire was divided into these parts which from our perception as we correct them we build again that original state but consciously.
You’ll come across a lot of numbers in the wisdom of Kabbalah, 613, 620, 125, 10, 600,000, etc these all refer to spiritual, qualitative properties.2. The first spiritual development is like a newborn baby crying to be nursed. It is just an overwhelming desire for this new, special fulfillment. The later degrees contain more refined discernments.
3. Everything comes from the Light. Everything that happens in the vessel is a reaction to the light or a reaction to the light leaving (a yearning for the light that exited).
4. This earthly life is the lowest degree, it doesn’t get lower. A Kabbalist lives in two worlds simultaneously.

Anthony,
When the Kabbalist says faith, it is referring to a degree of attainment above the mind. It is not at all blind faith.
If you are studying for a few weeks, or months, well before spiritual attainment, you should still be feeling how life starts to make more sense. You start to feel the system operating reality. It’s not random, it is guiding us towards a good goal.
I very much recommend keeping a notebook from week to week of what you are learning and how that relates to your life.
Don’t get into all kinds of imaginations about what you think you are learning but write very clearly as if you wanted to teach this to your younger self for example.Let me know how this goes.

Zied,
We are always referring about spiritual states. For example when the writing says, Who visits the iniquities of parents on children, even to the third and fourth generations, It is about the ascent of Malchut through Zeir Anpin to Bina, to Hochma, and then to Keter.
So humanity reached a particular “generation” meaning degree of development that it is ready to ascend.

Zied,
Any of the prayers composed by the sages are powerful tools.
1. A true prayer doesn’t refer to reading the correct words. A thief or a saint can read the same words. A true prayer is a condition of the heart, that the mind has clarified and heart now longs for something true.
2. Of course it is. It is impossible for the created being to do anything without self benefit. The only reason any creature moves is to increase fulfillment. However from all Lishma we come to Lishma. This means that by accostoming ourselves to wanting to receive the light, which means to be similar to the Creator and not opposite to the Creator, by this we draw upon ourselves Upper influence which changes our nature slowly.Seth@KabU
Johan,
Jesus did not write any books and he is not in the books of our sages, so we don’t study him.
Johan, you have asked me about the devil and you have asked me about Jesus, but you are not asking about the material that we are studying.
If you are interested in the wisdom of kabbalah, then watch the lessons, take notes and ask about that.
Seth@KabUJohan,
For now, imagine that the Creator awakened a spark of the soul of Adam HaRishon right there where you are in Brasil. That you are the first one in your part of the world to awaken to who you are, that you are a part of the common soul of Adam and all of humanity will connect toghether in that soul.
Even if a person was in the desert for 3 days, and is very thirsty, nevertheless, you cannot pour a litre of water in his mouth, he must drink slowly and only a little bit at a time so that he can acclimate to the water>
Similarly, now you are coming back to life, the light is awakening inside of you. Take all of that passion that you have and invest in your study.
On the outside, be like a normal person in your city and on the inside be a burning flame.
Good luck,
Seth@KabU
