Question: If I descend to the level of the cause, but cannot discern whether it is positive or negative, what should I do?

Answer: There is no need to discern if the cause is negative or positive, because there are no negative or positive states. It is simply that I perceive “bad” or “good” in my feelings. But this is completely incorrect. Each state has only one purpose: to awaken me to seek a deeper inner state.

Why do we perceive some states as positive and others as negative? This is something that humans cannot understand. Since we are at the beginning of our path, most states are perceived as negative. We are affected by these so-called negative feelings because humans tend to seek a cause: “Why do I feel bad?” No one will ask, “Why do I feel good?”

The fact is that we are made of the desire to receive, so no one asks: “Why do I feel good?” If a person asks such a question, it means he is afraid that he feels too good. Life experience tells him that something this good does not just happen. He fears that he will have to pay for it.

You can awaken a person only through bad states, and only later through good feelings, but this is already a Klipa. This is even more difficult, because one is given many good things but no spirituality. However, this is for more advanced states, so that a person can ask the question “What is the meaning of my life?” from a good state.

I have everything except the Creator, but I need only Him, I need nothing except spirituality. It is like a curse: I have a lot of food before me, but no taste or appetite for it.
