How Should We Connect the Examples Given During the Lesson?
If one example cannot be connected to another example, one should simply let go of one of them. During the study, examples from our lives are given to illustrate a particular case. An example cannot be stretched to apply to a thousand and one other forms and states.
Sometimes we speak in one line, sometimes in three lines, and sometimes we speak to a person who is simply within an animate desire and teach him how to come out of the animate desire and observe it from the outside. Such a person needs to have some sensation of Godliness, so that he knows what it means to observe himself from the outside. Psychologists also speak in such terms. On the lower degrees, this is still understandable to every person. Therefore, the same example should not be used in every case, but only in the case to which it was attached.
In order not to become confused, it is always worthwhile to translate examples into the language of Kabbalah. It does not matter which language they are translated from, whether the language of laws and Halachot, the language of Midrash, the language of Aggadah, the language of the Pentateuch, the Tanakh, or any spoken language, all of these should be translated into concepts such as Sefirot, Partzufim, Behinot, Aviut (coarseness), Zakut (purity), and so on. If all these concepts are brought together into one language, it becomes possible to compare them somewhat and turn them into a kind of science or unified approach. Otherwise, confusion arises. There needs to be a common basis for them all.
