Question: According to the order of the work from below up, it follows that the reflected light must come first. In other words, faith must come first, and then the direct light clothes in it?

Answer: We do not feel the pressure from the Creator, who desires to clothe in us, in our desire, because our desire is not corrected. To the extent that you have a screen with the intention to bestow, you will feel the pressure of the upper light, which desires to clothe in the corrected desire called the soul.

Then the question arises: when the light comes and strikes the screen, where are the light of faith, the reflected light, and everything else? They are all present before this, in a state of darkness. The screen is built during the darkness. And when you acquire it, you receive the power to maintain the restriction and the power of faith. This is what is called the screen.

The magnitude of the screen indicates the degree of faith. It is necessary to “stock up, arm oneself, with this in advance.

Naturally, this is done by the light, but the demand for this light to come develops only through efforts from below, which are made by means of the impression received from the books and those who wrote them, as well as from the group, and not from above. Here, an effort made by the person himself is required, so that the Kli precedes the light.
