Question: What causes the screen to thin during the ascent?
Answer: The screen thins only if there is a reason for it.
But in general, we could say the screen expands and thickens rather than thins, because as much as it ascends, the stronger it should be.

Question: What does direct light clothing onto reflected light mean? Does Malchut discover something in direct light through this action?
Answer: Malchut, clothed in the upper light, begins to feel how untenable it is to receive it. As a result, it refrains from doing so.
Question: You said that if we want to do something for another, this desire must be fulfilled in its full capacity. This seems like a rule that can lift us spiritually, but we do not use it for some reason. What are we lacking?
Answer: You are lacking enough strength to bestow.
Question: Where does the direct light in the very first Partzuf Galgalta come from?
Answer: In any Partzuf there is direct light (Ohr Yashar) and reflected light (Ohr Hozer).
Ohr Yashar goes from top to bottom, from the light of infinity in the head of the Partzuf.

Question: Why is so much attention in the science of Kabbalah given to the structure of the spiritual worlds?
Answer: Five worlds separate us from the world of infinity, which is complete perfection and revelation of all forces; they are five concealments, filters, that hide the world of infinity from us. They are Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beriya, Yetzira, and Assiya, and under the world of Assiya in complete concealment from the higher worlds our world exists.
Each of these worlds is arranged in exactly the same way as the world of infinity, only it is weaker, less clear and shines less. But all these worlds are identical in all their details, both in quantity and in their connections between them. Everything that exists in each world, including our world, is the same.
And therefore, in our world, where the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and the human exist, they are all interconnected in the general structure by exactly the same connections as the forces in the spiritual world.
Only in the spiritual world the qualities of forces are different. But the connections between the parts are the same, and the order between them is one and the same.
And everything that seems to us as wrong, confusing, disorderly, and unjust in our world is explained by the fact that we are in total darkness and do not see the similarity between our world and the upper one.
But undoubtedly our world is the branch, and the world of Assiya is the root. In turn, the world of Assiya is the branch, and the world of Yetzira is its root, and so on up to the root of everything, the world of infinity. That is how everything is arranged.
We are in our world, and we have no choice; we exist now in a certain reality with our qualities.
My forces, my qualities, my mind, and my feelings are such that I reveal a picture called “this world.”
But through this picture I can begin to change my feelings and mind. And since the upper world is arranged according to the same model and differs only in its properties, it represents the very same picture, only more alive. Then I can try from the world I am in now to attain a higher sensation since the parts of the worlds and the connections between them are the same, except the quality of the forces is higher.
Therefore by studying the science of Kabbalah, I draw a force from above upon myself, I strive to attain the upper world, and in response this yearning brings me a light that returns to the source, the force that changes my qualities. It should not change either the composition of the parts or the order of things within me.
It has to change only one thing, the quality of my main property, so that instead of my egoism, I would acquire a bit of bestowal that is more exalted than mine. And then I rise with everything that I see and feel to a higher degree, to a higher dimension, and I begin to feel the spiritual world.

Question: What is the point of listening to someone asking you a question? What is the purpose of asking questions anyway?
Answer: It is written, “The timid cannot learn.” Questions should be asked, but at the same time, you should follow the answers and delve into them until they are completely clear, i.e., until they enter you. By listening to a friend, you connect with him in his desire toward a goal, which is important for unification in a group.
After all, your desire alone is never enough to achieve the goal and for Ohr Makif to evoke a new intention in desire for the sake of others. It was only for the sake of this connection with others that the worlds appeared, that Adam’s soul was created and shattered, that this world was created so lowly to create a place of freewill for man, which is the only thing we do, and this freedom of will is realized only in an attempt to absorb the desires and goals of our friends throughout the world group.
In the same way, all of humanity will be forced to solve its common problem. The crisis and the revelation of mutual hatred will be revealed as the cause of the threat of destruction of an empty, worthless, yet unique and therefore precious, life. They will begin to listen to questions, i.e., the desires of others, until they all unite in one question “What is the meaning of our existence?” (Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot) and will come to Kabbalah!
Question: You often say that spirituality is beyond time, motion, and space. What do you mean?
Answer: You need to clarify this. There is nothing you can do, you must study. Those who wish to evade it with questions do not understand that only studying the writings of Baal HaSulam (in any language) attracts the upper light of correction. While the questions and answers are only a prelude for beginners. Clarify this in The Study of the Ten Sefirot, “Inner Observations” or at least go through this entire blog. Perhaps this form of learning is more suitable for you now.

Question: How or in what way is the quality of bestowal manifested and revealed in the group? Is it in thoughts, actions, joint work, or sensations? Could you describe the feeling of a person who is in a corrected group where the quality of bestowal has been revealed?
Answer: A group is in the right state if, at every moment, it finds the strength within itself to straighten itself toward the direction of the quality of bestowal. That is, there are always descents and ascents occurring in it, in different people at different times, but there is always an opportunity to grab onto one of the friends, to pull oneself up, and in this way two or three of them pull up the rest.
Your boat was wrecked? But even in this half-broken boat if one person remains, he saves all the others. That is called the right group.
If you act in this way, you are clearly moving toward the goal, and then everything will be fine with you.
