Question: How do we correctly reduce the light of Hochma to be above reason and to receive luck?

Answer: We must go by faith above reason, and in this way, we will merit the revelation of all knowledge. The process of revelation, however, is a Kabbalistic secret.

First, you must develop a desire for knowledge within yourself and negate the idea that you attain the purpose of creation through knowledge, and instead you focus primarily on acquiring the same corrections applied to the desire to receive.

Then, through this refusal, called reflected light (Ohr Hozer), you will attain true knowledge and uncover all that exists in nature.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is for this purpose, which explains that you must make a restriction (Tzimtzum), a screen (Masach), reflected light (Ohr Hozer), and gradually uncover the quality you wish to reach.

Question: Suppose a certain state comes to me. Should I say, “No, I do not want to receive this; I want to connect with my friends and through the connection, bestow to the Creator regardless of what is revealed”?

Answer: No, you should not refuse. From this desire, directed toward the Creator or His action, you should simply make a suitable vessel, an instrument for revealing the Creator.
