Thank you for your lectures! My understanding is that when a person seeks Kabbalah and doesn’t feel good and still receives bad feelings it is because that person is studying for himself. A person may not do it intentionally or even be aware of it. But the point of Kabbalah is to reach the state of adhesion with the creator through putting others before myself and thinking of the group. Of reaching the upper light internally. This studying Kabbalah to give to others contradicts studying Kabbalah to feel good for our own sake. In this way, we can see why we suffer when we study and don’t feel good.
