Question: Purim is an awakening from above, and Yom Kippur is an awakening from below. But in any case, there must be some readiness for an awakening from above. How is this different from awakening from below?

Answer: In principle, we are always in favor of causing awakening from ourselves, from below. But at the same time, we must understand that awakening from below is accomplished by regretting our sins.

And awakening from above is already an awakening from the Creator when you begin to understand, feel more, and come closer to Him.

Question: Awakenings from above and from below should occur together, right?

Answer: No, of course not. One after the other, alternately.
