Our beam of Divine energy takes the form of the desire or inspiration to create something. The beam represents our desire or what we want to manifest.

Step #3: Get clear about what it is you want to create.

Our desire enters the world of Atzilut, or the world of Being, where we are connected to the Divine and begins to stir and to come into focus. This is the place meditators are always trying to reach -a place where they are connected to Source and to their spiritual core. In this world inspiration and desire are born. This is where we feel the desire to have or create something new. This is where we feel the stirring of change. We begin at this stage to know or to feel like we want to create something.

Step #4: Put your desire to create something into words that form clear thoughts upon which you can focus.

Our desire moves into the second world, Briah, which is the world of thought. Here, the desire for something new manifesting as thought. Our desire for change or for something new, turns into a focused thought - words that express what we want. We get very clear about what we want and we express it in words. We focus upon these thoughts, which have a creative energy, to begin the manifestation process.

Step #5: Combine the thought of what you want with the feeling of having it by focusing upon it as if it were already manifest.

Now, our thoughts enter the world of Yetzirah, or the world of feeling. Just as the Divine energy moved into this world and combined the thought of something new with the feeling of something new, here we combine the thought of what we want with the positive feelings of having what we want. We also begin to get a sense of what we need to do to help manifest our desire; we see a vision of the next right step for us or of the inspired action required to bring our desire into physical reality.

Step #6: Take action to help create your desire.

Lastly, our creation enters the physical world of Action, called Assiyah. In this fourth world, God's desire for something other than Itself manifested as the world as we know it - the physical plane in which we exist. In this world, we lend physical energy to the energy of thought and feeling. We take action to aide manifestation. This is where we actually take that inspired action or that next right or best step that we sensed in Yetzirah. Now we see clearly what we must do, and we do it. As we take action, we move towards our goals, we help bring our dreams into physical reality, we start achieving our resolutions.

Step #7: Create what you want with a desire to give to others, to allow yourself to pursue a spiritual path and to draw closer to God.

The Kabbalists caution, however, that Kabbalah in general should not be used for our own practical purposes. The ultimate goal of all Kabbalah revolves around connecting with God. That said, some Jewish mystics taught that we should ask for what we want and need - if it allows us to share what we receive with others and to pursue a path of spiritual development. Amazingly, when we approach what we want from a place of wanting to receive our desires, achieve our goals or follow through on our resolutions so we can give to others, pursue a spiritual path and get closer to God, the things we want seem to manifest more easily and quickly. We remove any blocks we might have to actually receiving what we want and open ourselves to the Divine flow of goodness. We synchronize ourselves with the original energy of creation - and what better time to try and use that energy than at the beginning of a brand new year.
