Problems of Women’s Unification

Posted on November 1st, 2023

Question: Usually in women’s unification the evil spirit clearly manifests itself when emotions, especially negative ones, begin to simmer between us. How can we properly process these emotions so that they serve the good inclination?

Answer: Think only good about your friends, and everything will be fine. And let all the negative emotions be directed against your enemies. This is how it should be.

Comment: We feel the separate desires of our friends not at the same time, but as if in turn, and we do not succeed in coming to a single heart.

My Response: This is a real problem. Think about how you can come to one common desire, intention, and goal so that you have it all as one. And then you will win.

The Screen and Coupling with Striking

Posted on November 1st, 2023

Question: What is the screen (Masach)?

Answer: The screen is what creates the Partzuf that wants to reflect all the light of pleasure that comes to it from the Creator in order to become like Him and receive only for His pleasure.

In other words, the screen is an anti–egoistic property, a force, that does not let you receive for yourself.

Comment: There is also such a thing as coupling with striking.

My Response: Coupling with striking is a state when both the Creator and the creation (Partzuf) do not want to receive for themselves, but are ready to connect in order to please each other. That is, I am for you and you are for me, not for the sake of enjoying yourself, but to please another.

Baal HaSulam gives an example of this in the interaction of a guest and a host.

That is, the screen is a force of resistance. On one hand pleasure is forcing him, and on the other hand, he has the power of resistance. This is called coupling with striking.
