Sheila,
These are all wonderful discernments and I’d hesitate to give them spiritual names yet.
Of course we understand that we are will to receive, and a very refined one, you named a dozen pleasures you experienced just from sitting outside. That is a highly developed will to receive. Most other creatures don’t have such a developed sense of self to enjoy so many things on so many levels. But that is clear and that is what finally brought you here. But let’s not exactly place ourselves on the spiritual map of behinot yet. Let’s let all of these new concepts wash over us and slowly format us, then after a little while we’ll be able to use the language of kabbalah to describe accurately our inner world.
Seth@KabUInbar,
We are focused on giving spiritual direction, not specific family, health or work advice, so I don’t want to get into those areas.
Here are a few blog posts from our teacher, I hope that they are helpful and I hope that you both can find the power to reconcile.https://laitman.com/2022/12/why-are-most-of-the-families-falling-apart-at-present-quora/#gsc.tab=0

Scott,
There are thousands of religions and methods.
I’ve also heard of these experiments and in my past I tried several psychedelics myself.
The wisdom of kabbalah does not dictate to a person what to do with his body, the wisdom of kabbalah is something wholly different.
Undoubtedly, under the right conditions, a person can have an experience of oneness with nature, however this is a disconnection from the reality around us.
While mushrooms are on the vegetative degree and the DMT for example is on the inanimate degree, the method of kabbalah brings a person into a connection with other humans, to begin to see the world through the eyes of other humans, to feel the world as they feel it, to truly come out of our 3D world and gain endless dimension to our perception. All of these parallel universes intertwine into a complete picture of reality.
Seth@KabUVictoria,
We are learning the inner, spiritual meaning of all of these things. Each spiritual root touches down on Earth and so we have a branch here, but the physical action itself does not contain holiness, the holiness is in our inner transformation and these customs were used by the kabbalists.The Creator worked for six days, the weekdays represent the six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin: Hesed, Gevurah, Tifferet, Netzch, Hold and Yesod, the six directions. And rested on Shabbat.
Similarly, we should also work for six days and rest on the seventh day.  Our work is to change ourselves in accordance with these six Sefirot. When we finish that transformation the last Sefira, the seventh force, the Shabbat becomes revealed by itself, the Light will fill us and we will be as Light, and we have no work to do there, only not to interfere.We work during the six days to resemble the Creator’s qualities of love and bestowal, and on the seventh day, we need only let the Creator perform upon us the conclusion and outcome of our six days of work.
This can all happen in a person within 15 minutes or in 2 months, it does not at all depend on the Earth spinning around the sun, however from the branches we can discern a lot about the roots, as is clear from the examples above.
We can do a deep dive for each and every mitzvah. In short, in everything we do, whether lighting candles on Friday night or driving to work on Monday morning, we want to transform our inner world to be like the Creator.
Seth@KabUvictoria,
These are good discernments that you are making.
Let’s be clear that there is no “humans” yet in Behinate Dalet (phase 4).
This is the primordial, archetypal structure of creation.
We have to place ourselves in the correct context in order to understand these things. For example a woman who is prior to being a mom is a woman, with all the qualities of a woman, some are dormant, and some are active, but she is still a woman, a woman after becoming a mom is the same person, but she is also a different person. So let’s see where Behina Dalet is.
The Creator wants to fill creation with endless delight, in order to do that, He created a vessel that not only will receive that light, but that will yearn and crave for that light, as the more we desire something, the more pleasure we get from it.
In this world, the action can look opposite from the intention. I can for example give a gift to someone that I really hate in my heart.
In spirituality, the thought is the action.
Behina Dalet wants to attain the quality of the Creator, as He is a bestower, so the creation wants to be a bestower.
To be independant, well if we feel the Light, the endless pleasure filling us, then we feel complete, whole, and we wouldn’t move. We only move in order to fulfill ourselves. If we felt all of the Light, we would have no free will, just to do whatever we can to receive that Light.
In order to feel ourselves and to feel who is the Creator and to feel that He is good and doing good, we go through a process of being made opposite to Him and from there we can slowly slowly build a perception of what is the Light, what is He.
