Question: Does a person receive the upper illumination when he acts contrary to his desire and tries to overcome it?

Answer: The light comes when a person, despite his egoism, hatred, anger, and everything that repels him from love, from connection with other people, and from merging with them into one common desire, wants to be connected with them, and rises above the ego.

Naturally, he cannot immediately yearn for this, but gradually, in the way a child grows, he moves in small steps. Even if he relates to connecting with others purely egoistically, all the same, the light slowly influences him and he realizes that he is still in such a state.

After all, the descent and degradation of the power of the upper light took place on purpose, step by step, and through a system of filters, so that even we, who are in the opposite quality, absolutely egoistic, and want to receive only for ourselves, can attract its influence upon us. It is not directly like when we feel how it is awakened in us, but is in the form of the “surrounding light,” as if from afar, since we are opposite to it. To the extent that we become more and more like this light, we feel it even more clearly. This explicit manifestation of the light is called the revelation of the Creator.

Question: If the light is revealed in such a state, does it not simply burn and incinerate?

Answer: How can it be revealed in the opposite state? It can be revealed only according to the law of equivalence of form and in no other way.

The light is in front of you in a free, open form, and you can receive it, feel it, and call it upon yourself only to the extent that you yearn for it, its quality. Therefore it cannot be revealed more or less;  you (not the light) command the extent to which it is revealed within you. Nothing depends on it. It all depends on the person!

Therefore to the extent that you perform within yourself some actions that guide, bring closer, and direct you to the light, it influences you. You cause its influence.
