Question: Where is the upper light?

Answer: The Kli is filled with the light of Hassadim (love and mercy), the power of bestowal, which holds within itself the light of Hochma (wisdom).

The upper light is the light of Hochma clothed in the light of Hassadim. This light acts constantly.
We are always addressing the Malchut of the world of infinity because that is the only state that exists.

The substance of the Malchut of Infinity is the desire to receive pleasure. The creation gives this desire an intention “for the sake of bestowal.”

Then, into this intention of bestowal that comes from the creation, the upper light from the Creator clothes itself.

Thus, the love of the Creator and the love of the creation are revealed together within our desire, and this state is called the world of infinity.

This state already exists; we only need to make efforts to reveal it!

And it cannot be done individually but only through our collective effort, when all spiritual sparks, all points in the heart unite together.

Our shared effort awakens that light that fills the world of infinity and draws it toward us as the surrounding light that shines from afar.

Under its illumination, we become similar to the Malchut of the world of infinity.
