I rejoice in those revealed corruptions and the ones that are being revealed.

I do, however, regret and complain about the corruptions that have still not appeared, but which are destined to appear, for a hidden corruption is hopeless, and its surfacing is a great salvation from heaven. The rule is that one does not give what he does not have. Hence, if it has appeared now, there is no doubt that it was here to begin with but was hidden. This is why I am happy when they come out of their holes because when you cast your eye on them, they become a pile of bones (Baal HaSulam, Letter 5).

In other words, all corruptions will immediately turn from seemingly living disturbances into dead ones.

Baal HaSulam writes that he is very pleased with all the corruption, all the problems, and all the terrible traits that are revealed within him. Every day, they are uncovered in an increasingly unpleasant way. This signifies that a person is progressing.

He does not lament the emergence of new, terrible traits. On the contrary, he rejoices in them because their revelation means he is growing, rising higher, and becoming greater.

All these traits exist within a person from the very beginning; they originate from the shattering of the soul. They are revealed because the time has come, because one has earned the right for them to be revealed. This means one is already capable of correcting them.

This is why it is said that if you just look at them, that is, draw the upper light, they will immediately turn into a heap of bones, lose their power, and become a lifeless body.

Although at first, we are always horrified by the corruptions that are revealed, in the end, it is good. Ultimately, this is how we progress. It is only important to approach what arises within us with a sound mind and to remember that all of it comes from the Creator.
