Our greatest problem is failing to work when we have energy, when we are filled with inspiration and the upper light, and when the Creator gives us a good feeling. We wake up in the morning, everything around us is shining, we are in a good mood, and ready for anything.

It is not me doing this; rather, it is how I have been elevated and how my inner conditions have been shaped. If I act with the help of these conditions, the effort does not come by my own expense, but stems from an awakening from above, when the light descends and raises a person. The state is good, easy, and pleasant, but it is not the processing of Reshimot.

When you are in such states, you can quickly open books, find the most difficult passages, delve into them, and reveal new, deeper knowledge and connections between the elements of creation, between the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human levels. You may finally understand something Baal HaSulam, or I say in the most complicated passages of certain books.

If you have such inspiration, you can understand how to relate to the friends. Just try not to merely float within these states; instead, inject your mind, your critical analysis, and your mental, rather than remaining only with a sensory experience, and make sure to write down these states.

Then observe what happens to you when this is taken away from you from above, and everything becomes gray, dull, and there is no energy. Sometimes there is so little energy that you simply lie there and cannot move. When the spiritual light moves away, a person is left completely lifeless, unable to move a finger. Therefore, it is useful to record these states from time to time and observe and monitor yourself: Who am I?

Why can they play with me in this way from above? Because from above I am being shown how I must independently manage my inner states, from the lowest parameter to the highest, with the help of the environment surrounding me.

Alone, I will never be able to do this. But with the environment, I can manage my inner states regardless of how the Creator deals with me. He will continually pull me out of good states, deliberately adding egoism, while I, in turn, must attain a state of independence.
