Question: Can a person identify any internal discernments before crossing the Machsom?

Answer: A person who has not yet crossed the Machsom receives illuminations from above that provide a certain sensation and understanding that enable them to identify various states within themselves and to advance.

We see that this path may take, for example, ten years. As one traverses through it, a person realizes that they are becoming wiser and begins to understand various states better, becomes familiar with them, and comes to know them.

These definitions, these revealed differences between all kinds of states, will be necessary in the future, and the years spent on this are not an empty pastime, they don’t pass in vain. This period, which indeed spans several years, is necessary, because a person will have to work with all the variations of these states later when revealing the face of the Creator.

By gathering all these Hisaronot, called transgressions and mistakes, he will continue to work with them afterward, and then he will see what state he was in previously. In the meantime, he does not see any difference between them. Only after crossing the Machsom will he be able to distinguish them, because now he is like a child whose degree of awareness is too small.
