Question: If a friend is allegedly in a descent, then we need to help him with the methods of the Kabbalistic teaching. How do we not interfere with his state that he must experience?

Answer: We should only show him a good example. And then whatever happens, happens.

Question: But how can we determine what is good and what is bad for a person when he is in a state of descent, cannot attend lessons, or, on the contrary, when he is active and always cheerful? Visually, it seems that he is in the subject, but maybe if he is in a descent this the best state for him?

Answer: There is no better state when in a descent! The descent is only in order for us to get out of it as soon as possible. There is no need to be a masochist. If you love descents, then you are just an egoist, and you like it. It is said: “The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.”

A descent means that you have lost the importance of the Creator, the group, the teacher, and the advancement, you do not want any of this. This is called a descent.

Comment: But people are often in a bad mood.

My Response: That is not a descent! It is just a bad mood! You must clearly understand what a descent is. If it is precisely in the descent in importance of the means to achieve the goal and of the goal itself along with the means to achieve it, then you really are in a descent. Then you need to work on it. It has nothing to do with your mood.
