Comment: Rabash writes a lot about the different states a person goes through.

My Response: When you read or listen to articles, or read my books, you cannot determine how it will affect you; you cannot determine the direction of your thoughts. And why would you? You just have to accept it, listen to it, pass it through yourself like through a grinder, and that is it. It enters through your ears, but what it does there is not important. It does not matter at all! It is not your job to determine how this should work.

This is exactly what I was asked online: “How does one attain a particular property?”

I wrote: “How can a person determine which property they should attain? How do you know you are meant to reach? Maybe it will be your turn to come to this only in a year? In the meantime, you have to go through other things. Do you know your soul’s structure? Do you know what you should be thinking right now? You are charged with only “What is in your power to do, do it.” You attract the light onto yourself; it acts on your structure.

Chemists know that a large molecule has billions of parts, and they are all interconnected. In the spiritual molecule, everyone is connected to everyone. In material life, this presents a problem. However, in the material world, we want to simplify everything. But each has its own character within the same structure: one is bigger, the other is smaller, and the connections between things change.

The structure is the same, but each part has different mass, and each connects to the others in its own way. It is like us all having the same skeleton, but the difference is between the inner parts, inside the bones.

So how can I, in such a complex system where I do not feel or know, or can barely hear anything at first, determine what is more or less corrected in me? What nonesense!

So, what can I do? I can only bring a powerful light, and the more it shines on this large molecule, the more it will develop. I can only increase this light’s glow with the help of science of Kabbalah. That is it! There is nothing else we can do here. We can only intensify the light shining on the structure of the soul. Adding a bit more and more effort.

You start thinking and comparing things because you work with your head and your heart. But your work is already the result of how the surrounding light has affected you and prepared your head and heart for work. There is no way for you to have done it first.

But if you want the light to do something faster next time, by all means. This acceleration may not be so pleasant: falling, flying off, getting up. But you cannot escape this; you can only accelerate your development. When you act in this development, your attitude toward it brings you a different sense of development. That is, even bad things seem good to you. You perceive them as such because they appear to your senses in a good way.
