Kabbalists On The Language Of Kabbalah, Part 8
Dear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.
The Law of Root and Branch
Kabbalists have found that the form of the four worlds, named Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, beginning with the first, highest world, called Atzilut, and ending in this corporeal, tangible world called Assiya, is exactly the same in every item and event. This means that everything that eventuates and occurs in the first [highest] world is found unchanged in the next world, below it, too. It is likewise in all the worlds that follow it, down to this tangible world.
There is no difference between them, but only a different degree [quality of desire], perceived in the substance of the elements of reality in each world.
– Baal HaSulam, “The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah”
[21656]

Are these definitions/explainations correct?
1. The “substance of the elemets of reality in each world”- is that the level of my Egoism through which I perceive reality?
2. What is the Quality of Desire that we perceive in each world? Is it our distorted perception of the Desire to Bestow?
