Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 31

Where Is the Point in the Heart Located and How Does it Affect Prayer?

The point in the heart is internal and, in truth, is not merely a point but an entire system. Like a computer virus, which is not just a simple disturbance but a unique program that knows how to integrate into the hardware components of a computer, and thus disrupt it, this program has its own structure and logic devised by clever minds. Likewise, viruses in the body and cancerous cells are complex biological programs that develop in a destructive manner.

We tend to describe the point in the heart as just a point, a desire that a person suddenly receives from above, a spark from the Creator, from a vessel of bestowal that enters the person. However, in reality, the point is a mechanism, an entire system that gradually reveals itself within a person’s heart.
