Question: Are the Reshimot  (informational records)separate from one another, or is there some connecting factor between them that determines the continuity of development?

Answer: The Reshimot are connected by cause-and-effect relationships that close their cycle through infinity. This is why there is an ascent to infinity. In our world, in our present state, or on the spiritual degrees, these states are not connected in any way. There is always a gap between the Malchut of the upper one, and the Keter of the lower one.

It is as though I gradually slice pieces from a sausage, and work little by little, time after time, with the desire to receive. When I reach Malchut and complete this particular Avchana (inner discernment), I move on to the next Avchana, which begins in Keter, and start the work anew.

Therefore although the Malchut of the upper one stands upon the Keter of the lower one, and passes everything to it, this does not mean that there is a connection between them. There can be no connection between Keter and Malchut. Such a connection is possible only where all the Keters and all the Malchuts are truly connected together, that is, in infinity. There, at the end of correction, in the state of “He and His Name are One,” they are united.

But when they descend to us, there are no points of contact between them. Our state is not yet corrected. However, when it is corrected, all the Keters and all the Malchuts will be together, everything will be united, and Malchut will attain Keter through the reflected light. In fact, it is from there that every action comes to me.

A person must perform each of his actions in such a way that he, the Creator, and the action are one. This is written in Baal HaSulam’s letter on page 64. This is precisely the concept whereby you, as it were, establish a connection with infinity, and having established it, return to your present state in order to perform the action.

Then the gap between your actions will be genuine. On the one hand, you perceive it precisely as a gap, while on the other hand, you build a bridge across it through the true point in infinity.

Question: But where is the cause-and-effect connection here?

Answer: These Reshimot exist in infinity. Imagine a point. Within this point are all your Reshimot, all your Avchanot (discernments), and all the states you must go through, that is, essentially, the realization of these Reshimot. And everything exists together with the Creator in the state of “He and His Name are One.”

Draw a million rays downward from this point, representing a million states. Each one is a particular, partial realization of that same point of connection, “He and His Name are One.” And when you complete the realization of a particular action, you as it were return to infinity, take from this totality the next Reshimo in sequence, and once again realize it.

The only thing is that infinity is within you, and the gaps between the Reshimot exist only in your perception.
