Before we enter the spiritual world and before it becomes clear to us exactly which desires we are able to work with at the present moment and what the direction of work with each of them is, we can only follow what the Kabbalists say; at this stage there is no other work than this general work. I cannot engage in any actions that I might imagine (erroneously) that I am already in the spiritual world.

I am obligated to follow the method precisely: through the group and through the study, I must draw the surrounding light in a sufficient and effective measure to begin perceiving the true reality, the reality where I actually exist. This is not merely within the material world because the spiritual world also surrounds me; I live in two worlds simultaneously.

The in accordance with what is revealed to me, I will begin to practically clarify my attitude to the spiritual and the material, to both worlds. This constitutes the work of clarification.

But before a person attains such inner vision, one, undoubtedly, has no possibility of knowing what they are doing and where they are.
