How Can We Hold a Sense of Spiritual Importance While Experiencing Darkness?
Even during the night we should maintain a sense of greatness and importance of the spiritual goal. If we view the darkness as beneficial, we can rejoice in it, bless the Creator, and then even during the darkness, we can cleave to Him. This is not done at our current level, but at spiritual levels. There we intentionally perform various corrections, such as “the sixty breaths of the horse,” corrections of the night, corrections of slumber (Dormita), and so on, to ascend from one degree to the next. These are wondrous occurrences.
Out of the darkness, all discernments become revealed. Afterward we just need to add intention and correct them. New desires emerge from the darkness.
