Question: What is the difference between awe and fear?

Answer: Awe is not a fear for oneself. It is based on love, respect, and striving for the Creator.

Question: What are the types of fears before the Creator?

Answer: It is impossible to list them all. The inclusion of Malchut, in all its variations, into the first nine Sefirot generates a vast array of primary, secondary, and other fears. Any feeling of possible lack of being filled is called fear.

For example, the feeling that I may not justify the Creator is based on animal and social fears. But the fear of whether I would be able to fill Him is already an awe that descends on us through the common system, because the Creator is present in its entirety.

To the extent you connect and associate yourself with everyone, you get an opportunity to fill the Creator.

Question: So contact with Him always happens through another person?

Answer: There is no other way, because the Creator dwells in the whole system.
