How to Cross the Machsom

276.02Question: How does the process of inner scrutiny take place? How do we implement it in order to understand a state more quickly?

Answer: If you still do not understand how scrutinies are done, then proceed according to your reason, and we will see if you can construct a process that can be called clarification.

“The end of the action is in the preliminary thought.” If you are talking about inner scrutinies, decide for yourself what you need to clarify in order to cross over into spirituality. We are currently discussing how to cross the Machsom. What will happen afterward, we do not know, but that is all we are interested in right now. So how does crossing the Machsom happen, what do you think?

Comment: When you reach despair.

My Response: But I do not know if I have reached despair or not. Under what condition do I cross the Machsom? What do I need for this?

Comment: Prayer.

My Response: Do you cross the Machsom by the power of prayer, or by the power of despair? No, it is the Creator who brings you across! So start from the end! The Creator gives you strength. He does not take you by the hand, but He gives you strength within your desires, and as a result, such a transformation takes place in them such that you begin to perceive the spiritual and to live within it.
