Comment: Humanity is plagued by illnesses and many are incurable. Everyone searches for advice that might suddenly help them navigate life.
My Response: Relax and do not try to change anything. Drift calmly with the flow of life. Accept what is. Everything that happens is done by the Creator. So, do not contradict Him, but feel connected to Him at every moment.
Question: What can we do with the fears that constantly spur a person?
Answer: There will be no fears! Because fear stems from wanting to secure a specific future for yourself. But that doesn’t exist here.
Question: So fear arises when you do not agree with Him?
Answer: Yes. But here that isn’t the case. The future vanishes; it simply isn’t there. In other words, every moment is like passing away and leaving nothing behind. There is peace. What has been, will be. You know, like the inscription on Solomon’s ring?
Question: Yes. So you think that if a person gets used to this formula, if he lives it, exists with it, then it will free him from fears and even from pain?
Answer: It is not just about being free from fear and pain, but also about being properly connected with nature, with the Creator.
Question: What is the result of it?
Answer: This will give you a connection with the Creator, peace, closeness, and simply connection.

They say that the light of faith must be like the light that has departed. If it is so, and a person receives light from within themself (meaning that he does not become the source of strength and light, but possesses a sense of the importance of the goal in relation to the Creator), then they receive the light of faith from above, the light of Hassadim, that fills them.
With this light they can live. This is already the second phase, the quality of Bina. If he is capable of this, then what remains for him further is only complete, perfect faith.
These are the states we go through in one way or another. We still do not understand how we are doing this. And although all these states are also within the will to receive, this is a real preparation for the true degrees.
It is necessary to value that we are given the sensation of darkness. This is a sign that we have already received the possibility to develop our Kelim (vessels) from above. Therefore, the time of the departure of the light is a blessed time, the time of building the Kelim.
The fact that we get frightened, fall, fear these states, and sometimes feel that they are worse than death for us is the feeling of our animate part. But in the spiritual Kli this state must lead to the possibility of ascent.
A person must distinguish two parts within oneself: their animal part suffers, but it is precisely at this moment that their soul must rise. It receives the possibility to awaken toward faith and to receive the light of faith. To rise means to feel how great the Creator is.
At what moment can I feel that He is great in my eyes? If I receive much from Him. But can I say that the Creator is great when I do not receive from Him, and moreover, when I receive darkness? Then I will not depend on my will to receive. To be great in the soul or great in the body (in the will to receive) are two different things.

Question: How can I protect myself from a sense of hopelessness when I think that everything comes from above and nothing depends on me?
Answer: No, if I think that everything comes from above, such an approach will not solve my problems or free me from my work.
All states are sent to us by the Creator; I must relate to this as a cause. But afterward, the Creator requires me to work both internally and externally. Just as I relate to my inner enemies and those who hate me, so too should be my attitude toward them in the external world.
The external must correspond completely to the internal. If you were to deal with the enemies within your soul, you would immediately see changes in the external world.
Gradually, people discover that there is no external solution to this problem. If you are unable to descend to a lower degree, to dig deeper, and see the true cause, then only crazy ideas come to your head and nothing more. There is no solution.
A person who does not descend to the level where the causes are revealed simply burns through life; he remains an animal. And no matter how much suffering he experiences, he will not achieve anything. He will live or be killed, but he truly lives only when he begins to connect all his states with the Creator, but only in a purposeful way. This is what all our work consists of.
Through these states, we gradually come to understand the necessity of revealing the divine. This is already a lower degree, when you do not want the Creator to reveal Himself as the one who brings evil, and then you establish connection with Him. A demand develops to perceive the Creator as a good cause rather than an evil one, and not because you feel bad. You simply do not want to relate to the upper force in such a way.

Question: How can I work with joy when such terrible things are happening around me? And things aren’t well inside either. In short, there is chaos both inside and out.
Answer: Joy is the result of the revelation of the Creator. The fact that He reveals Himself in such an obvious and clear form is a sign that the Creator is giving us the opportunity to correct this state.
If you do not connect this situation with the Creator, then of course you cannot be happy. You have no reason for it. But as soon as you connect this state with Him, two kinds of happiness arise.
You can be happy knowing that you are being cared for, you are not forgotten: “That means it is not happening by chance, and I can relax a little and rest. It is as if I have applied something life-giving to my wounds, and I feel better. The Creator exists, and I am not working in vain.”
But this is a false joy. By rejoicing in this way, you have simply sweetened (bribed) your desire to receive. By doing so, you have not done any useful work, and you have not advanced spiritually.
The second kind of joy is when you can reveal the Creator, establish contact with Him, and make corrections through these states. I will explain this in greater detail: The state that we receive, whether it is external or internal, descends from above. In fact, it is not the state that descends from above, but the light that shines into my Kli.
My Kli, my desire to receive, is completely covered with sores and festering wounds, and the light shines on them. But I see these sores only in their external form, only their external manifestation: the hostility of the Arabs, wars, diseases, injustice. I do not feel these wounds within my own soul. But the upper light that shines upon it reveals to me that I am completely rotten from within.
You can associate all these external manifestations (diseases, suffering, enemies) with the Creator, but you must see that all of this is a reflection of your soul. All of this is happening inside you, within your soul.

What Does It Mean to Prepare the Sensation?
According to the correction of the vessels, the Creator fills a person, dresses within them, and that is what the person feels. The preparation for this is the preparation of the sensations, the vessels.
A person who is hard of hearing buys a hearing aid. A nearsighted person buys glasses. Someone whose sense of taste is dull eats strongly flavored foods. A tired person drinks a cup of coffee to wake up a bit. If someone wants to heighten their sensitivity or stir their emotions, they might listen to special music. Various preparations are made in order to sharpen the senses.
Sometimes we see someone crying and it makes us laugh. At other times, someone tells us something ordinary and it brings us to tears. Everything depends on the person’s preparation.
We are in the most exalted state, that of final correction. However, due to our dull senses, we feel only a tiny fraction of it, and even in that tiny portion, we feel everything as the opposite of the final correction and curse our lives. The entire work of correction is the correction of our senses. This is “recognition of evil.” However, again the question arises: How can we know this if “the good” is concealed?
Baal HaSulam gives a parable about a wealthy man who locked his son in a dark basement with nothing but the food that was lowered down to him. The son cursed his father and saw him as a cruel torturer.. When he was finally taken outside and shown that there is another life beyond, his mental state worsened. He did not understand what was happening. He felt like the most miserable person in the world. These are exactly the kinds of states we go through.
Over time, we gradually learn from our state. What does “learn” mean? After his heart has been broken for twenty years, they bring light into the basement, and then he discovers all the treasures his father left there for him. He begins to understand that everything was done for his sake. And why was he in sorrow for twenty years? It was because he could not have digested all his wealth, in less time than that. Now he can. The vessel must be suited to the light, to the revelation.
