The development of the will to receive can take place in its natural environment. But there is also another, unknown environment, a new surrounding. How is a person prompted to develop in the direction of this different environment? Of course, one is given a desire from above.

The fact that a person is endowed with a desire for pleasures absent from the limited environment in which he was born (this world) is referred o as “the Male (the Creator) who conceives (sows).” “The Creator conceives first”; that is, He grants the person an awakening toward spirituality.

Obviously, an awakening to the upper world cannot appear in a person by itself. It manifests only by means of lights that illuminate the Reshimo (spiritual informational gene). Suddenly a desire arises within a person for something that lies beyond the confines of this world. And as the saying goes: “The Creator, having conceived first, gives birth to a girl (Nekeva),” that is, a Hisaron for spirituality.

This is precisely what a person senses; consequently, one begins to make efforts to realize, to fill this lack. He bustles about, runs here and there, begins to study, comes to a proper society, looks for various means and actions in order to fill their Hisaron. And so it continues until one begins to see oneself acting in order to attain the fulfillment.

Gradually, as a result of many years of effort, it becomes clear to a person that the will to receive, although it came from above, lacks the qualities, form, and nature necessary for its fulfillment. This desire is present in us, but it is unsuitable for a filling that is beyond the bounds of this world because beyond its boundaries, both the Kli and the fulfillment are of a completely different nature. It is these missing attributes that we must acquire.

Gradually, it is revealed to a person that the desire given to them from above is not directed toward spirituality. And this is despite the fact that a Hisaron (a “girl”) seemingly was born in them. The Creator implanted a certain unformed desire in us for a filling that lies beyond our reach. This desire must be realized in an absolutely different vessel, in a vessel of bestowal. The Hisaron must fill itself with pleasures from bestowal to the Creator.

When a person comes to understand that what he needs is a new Hisaron and not the filling, then we can say that the Creator, the “male,” conceived, and a girl (Nekeva) was born. That is, as a result of a long search, it becomes clear to the individual that what they lacks is not fulfillment, but a desire to bestow. This desire to bestow that has arisen in him is indeed the Hisaron that has been born.
