The spiritual is divided by disparity of form, as the corporeal is divided by an ax…

Know that spiritual entities become separated from one another only by disparity of form. In other words, if one spiritual entity acquires two forms, it is no longer one, but two (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Chapter 1, Inner Observation, Item 4).

If the desire, which is the basis of the entire creation, changes, then it separates the previous form from the subsequent one. Therefore, by changing the desire, we separate from our previous state into the next one, and thus we are constantly changing. After all, the change in our desires determines our movements and differences.

Question: What are the forms of desire?

Answer: Bigger and smaller ones in quality and in quantity.

Question: This is the size of desire. What does “the form of desire” mean?

Answer: The fact is that the desire, while changing in size also changes its form: the way this desire is expressed, what it yearns for, what fulfillment is desirable for it.

Question: I am now trying to understand what forms my desire has?

Answer: Any forms you want.

Question: How many types of forms are there?

Answer: It is impossible to say; there are countless numbers of forms.

Question: Is form an intention of the desire?

Answer: Intention or direction, no matter what you call it.

Comment: But if it is an intention, then we only have two of them: for my own sake and for the sake of the other.

My Response: But they can also be different.
