Our entire path consists of descents and ascents. There is nothing in a person that does not break and subsequently get restored. Only by comparing each supposedly bad and supposedly good quality, at the junction between them can we build something, do something, somehow prepare, create an inner Kli, and then fill it.

Therefore, a person must never think: “What state am I in?” This is the wrong attitude. One should not pay attention to the state. A person must always think, “What am I aspiring toward?” rather than “Where am I starting from?” He should never think, “How am I doing?” but rather, “What must I aspire toward?” That is, he must see the quality, the image, the characteristic toward which he must aspire.

Never think about yourself. As soon as you begin thinking about yourself, a descent occurs immediately, and an enormous number of obstacles appear that pull you inward and to the sides. Do not focus on yourself, but think from yourself outward. Then we will quickly pass through all the necessary, obligatory states.

We will understand that all of them come so that, despite what passes through us, we constantly aspire toward the one. This is what must be revealed, clarified, and concluded from reviewing the entire chain of states that we must pass through.

And there are very many of them. Each one is further divided into many others, and a person can pass through an enormous number of all kinds of states every second. This depends only on the aspiration forward. The more I aspire forward and constantly and more clearly and strongly direct myself toward the goal, the faster the little motor turns, which spins these states within me, and the greater the speed of their passage within me is.

This depends on me. If I am not directed toward anything, then this wheel, this chain of Reshimot within me, stands still. If I begin to aspire forward a little, it begins to spin more and more. If I stop and occupy myself with myself, everything stops; everything is dead. Therefore, one must think only moving outward from oneself.

Question: How can we achieve a qualitative change within ourselves regarding the principle  “Love your neighbor as yourself”?

Answer: We study that the only necessity that brought us to Kabbalah was the factor that caused us to change our lives and are undergo internal transformation. Everything comes only from the Kli, out of necessity. Nothing can happen by itself.

Therefore, if we want to do something or change something, we must seek not “how can this be changed,” but “how can an urgent need for it arise in me?” As soon as that need arises in me, I will change it, or it will change by itself. But it will change only if I urgently desire it. Everything depends on the preparation of the Kli, on our desire.

Therefore, a qualitative change in “love your neighbor as yourself” must be based on the awareness of the necessity—that without this, our life will remain an animalistic life. Of course, we can already tune ourselves today to the idea that this is how life will end, but this too depends on the society in which we are.

If our environment does not give us the possibility to accept this life and awaken us so strongly that we feel that even the slightest delay is base, repulsive, and unbearable, then we will truly be able to change something. Everything depends only on the group.

The group itself must guide us and itself urge each person to display such an attitude toward it. In other words, this is mutual work between the person and the group. Nothing else can be done here.

The Creator, who acts from above, sets only one condition: “Ask for what I have, and ask in such a way that it will be for your benefit.”

In our work, this is called preparing the Kelim (vessels).

To prepare a Kli means to acquire a Hisaron for what the Creator wants to give and to act accordingly. It is said about this that the Reshimo (spiritual record) must be correct, in accordance with the Reshimo de Hitlabshut and Reshimo de Aviut, so that the force of the screen that I will receive from above is truly the one I need. That is, I take care of this in advance.

And in this, there is certainly a sequence of actions: concealment, revelation of the posterior, revelation of the face, both in preparing the Kelim and in receiving the lights.

But ultimately, raising MAN means “making your desire similar to His desire.” Only this is called MAN!

Otherwise, all your actions, whether you cry out or study, are counted, but they are not included in the action that sets the upper one into motion. However, these things also gradually gather and still become the cause of a person’s advancement.

Question: How can we avoid falling into a Klipa (impurity) from a state of ascent? After all, you immediately want to take pleasure in that state.

Answer: I would say that, of course, we will fall. But if, as I advance, I constantly build an environment that I move forward with, then I am not afraid of falling.

I have confidence, support, and a framework that will pull me forward even if I fall.

Therefore, I no longer think about these states. On the contrary, I am confident that “Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” I know that I am still advancing.

In other words, the work on the concept of bestowal encompasses everything. It is so self-contained on every side that all the questions and answers are already included within it. We do not need anything external.
