Question: How is it possible to hold on so firmly to the goal during a descent that the descent can be used for ascent so that I am the one descending and it is not the Creator casting me down?

Answer: I must govern this descent and decide for myself that I need to descend. I prepare myself in advance for the descent, the way one prepares for a surgical operation.

What will help me not “lose my head” during the descent, not to fall under the power of desires? It is connection with the goal so that I feel the descent without losing myself, but instead rise. By myself, I cannot guarantee this.

Therefore, I need the right environment that will support me when I lose control over myself as a result of excessively strong desires.

When the spiritual embryo reaches the time to be born, that is, to move to the level of nurturing, how can it connect these two states, if at birth it loses its previous level, turning “head downward”?

And how does it manage from this state of complete loss, “head downward,” not to become a miscarriage, but to be born into a new world and adhere to the Creator at a higher level?

For this purpose, different Reshimot of Aviut and Hitlabshut (from desire and from light) (1, 0) are given. As a result, I can always connect to two levels at the same time. This is what helps me to be born.
