VAK is Vav Ktzavot – 6 points. ZAT is Zayin tkatoonim – 7 lower ones. In short, it’s the lower part of these degrees. We can’t clarify more than that right now.
Generally, you want to study Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah – and then where your heart desires. After all, Baal HaSulam intended this to be…a preface to the wisdom of Kabbalah! You can start reading it on your own, and see when you’ll need to, or right away go to the curated options:
That’s true, we never speak of this world. They are all words to represent one’s inner qualities. Spiritually, any animal refers to our previous levels, the animate degrees (and he has as many animate desires as there are animals in our world) which are correct by themselves, but incorrect for man. Upon them, he was supposed to develop the human degree and thus it becomes already forbidden for him to tarry on any lower degrees.
The difference is only in the intention. If there’s an intention to bestow, it’s spiritual. If there’s an intention to receive or no intention, it’s corporeal.
1) No the Point in the Heart is like the stem cell or seed of the vessel for the Light. It can’t take any volume yet because it’s a lone Point for now.
2) The books usually speak of the state we should aspire to. The Point in the Heart is the beginning of the soul, but such an early phase of it that we can’t feel anything spiritual in it.
Sure, but this reminds us not to pray for anything in the world to change. No one receives such prayers. I need to see my own corrupt vessels and turn with them to my Upper Degree of corrected connection with others. Yearning toward it is called prayer.
