Question: In the state of ascent I do not feel the obvious evil inclination within me. Do I still have to ask the Creator to correct it?

Answer: If you do not have a clear feeling that you are in the state of a descent, then you cannot ask the Creator for correction. But you have to depict to yourself that you definitely are in a descent, that you are resisting it, and therefore are waiting for the ascent.

Question: But if I do not feel like I am in descent, nevertheless, do I still have to depict that I exist in this state?

Answer: No, but you have to prepare yourself for the ascent. It is from this point of view that you need to imagine that you are in descent. That is how to find the evil inclination in yourself that you clearly do not feel at this moment and ask for its correction.

Question: How can I resist the descent and prepare for the ascent?

Answer: Resisting the descent and preparing for the ascent is the same thing. You just have to constantly ask for an ascent, for connection with the Creator, for strengthening the group and yourself in it, and then you will not have any problems. This is very important.
