Lora,
We aren’t upset when a little baby expresses its desire, in fact we enjoy it. When a baby is hungry and demands to be fed, we are happy that he is healthy, in fact we would get nervous if the baby did not express hunger and the desire to grow.
When do we get annoyed? When the baby grows and then not just that he wants, but he wants in some conniving way. That is what bothers us, when a person wants at the expense of others. So it is not the desire itself, but when the person desires for the sake of himself only.
In both of these degrees, there is no awareness of the Creator.
The baby doesn’t recognize the existence of the Creator.
And a person from the general public also does not relate to the Creator, this person desires something and tries to acquire it.
But when a person develops beyond the general public and this person starts to feel that there is a Creator and that I am opposite from the Creator and I feel such shame that I live only for myself and the Creator is bestowing upon all of creation and I can’t stand to receive like this, then my desire changes, I must escape from this shame and this draws upon us a new light that reformats our vessel.
All of the desire is called Malchut.
Seth@KabUCyndi,
Yes we will learn more about his ladder as we continue our study. Good observation.
Seth@KabUOtienodhek,
Correct. The Creator desires to fill us with delight, so we must receive.
However by receiving we become opposite from Him who is bestowing.
So the correction of creation is that we will receive with the intention to bestow.
Seth@KabURoger,
Is there something in your life that you have spent a lot of time and effort on? Maybe to become a musician? Or do you read books? Maybe work in the garden or kitchen? How about being a dad. Even video games.
You know that when you become an expert or more than a lay person at it, you start to understand and feel all of the nuance and discernments.
You tell a 5 year old to kick the soccer ball and you tell Messi to kick the soccer ball. It means two totally different things. With Messi, it’s 100,000 hours of training and coaches and traveling and victory and losses.
So let’s say “keep the intention” and “examine our choices” but we understand very clearly that we are at the beginning of understanding what this means.

Roger,
How do you know when you are in Spain?
You bought a plane ticket, you packed a bag. Exactly what wind conditions and delays, turbulence, that you didn’t control, but you did many things that are clear in order to arrive.
And when you are there, it’s clear that it’s not Alaska. It feels different, you feel that it is a different place.
If course in spirituality it doesn’t matter to us about getting on an airplane, but we acquire new vessels of perception and with them we feel.
We feel the eternal existence that exists outside of our self serving ego.
Seth@KabUMichael,
When we look into space, we see a lot of empty black space.
But today there exists many very powerful telescopes.
If you look at that empty black space with the powerful telescope, you will see billions and billions of stars.
The stars are there, but we don’t see them with our eyes as they are, we need some tool to look through and then we can see the light.
Reality is full of the endless light of the Creator.
How can we feel it?
We don’t even know where it is.
How can we find it, where can we look, what tools do we need?
If you see a newborn baby, he doesn’t know who is his mother and who is his father. He doesn’t know what world he lives in.
We are like those babies towards the spiritual world.
However, for us, we can turn to the Upper One and start to feel that we He is so much bigger than us and we just want to flow with Him, to go with Him, like a parent picks up the child and the child can go everywhere with him.
The advancement on the left line means that we are given a feeling of emptiness. This gives us a place to ask Him to help us because we feel we are helpless without him.
Then we advance on the right line which means He fills that emptiness and we give thanks to Him and we fee wholeness like we lack nothing.
And like this we advance left, right, left right, higher and higher.
Good luck my friend,
Seth@KabU
