Those righteous that have been rewarded with wholeness, raising MAN for that sublime coupling, no longer have any reception for themselves. Also, the MAN that they raised was to bestow, and not to receive.

Hence, with the good deeds and the MAN, they correct the screen for the Nukva and qualify her for this great coupling where the qualification itself is reflected light that rises from the screen of the Nukva and above, since anything that rises from below upwards is bestowal and repelling of reception for oneself. At that time, the coupling by striking with the upper light takes place, and the upper light dresses in a garment of the rising reflected light (Rashbi, Zohar for All, Vol. 1, “Introduction of The Book of Zohar,” You Are in Partnership with Me, Item 63).

Question: What does it mean to raise the reflected light in our work with our friends in the group?

Answer: In our case, an ascent from below upward means that we awaken to greater connection between us, and wish that the force of mutual bestowal would reign among us, which will bring contentment to our Creator. It is like children who stop quarreling in order to make their mother happy.

To raise the reflected light means to elevate the value of the quality of bestowal in which we want to live, to become included in bestowal, and to correspond to it. It is as if we pour liquid onto a sponge and want it to be completely absorbed, to penetrate every pore.

In the same way, we want to absorb the quality of bestowal so that it enters all our capillaries and cells, all our atoms, and saturates our entire being so deeply that even the electrons begin to spin in the opposite direction. Bestowal must fully enter our mind, our heart, our sensations, our perception of the world and its analysis—all our decisions.

It is impossible to imagine how much everything will change. Sometimes a person changes drastically under the influence of certain events, but here we are talking about a much greater transformation. We want this quality to enter us and take full control over us in every respect, even if I am not aware that I am under a new authority, like a drunk who has lost his egoistic reasoning.
