Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 266

What Does It Mean to Be Prepared?

Everything depends on preparation. It is for a good reason that we are in a stage called the “time of preparation.” Afterward, there is no longer a problem. When we enter spirituality, spirituality acts on us. In spirituality, our nature and character do not matter. We do indeed remain with our nature and character, but only with regard to general corporeality and not with regard to spirituality.

When we are in a good state, we should concentrate on the study and reading as much as we can and also think about the bad states, so that if they come, we will not sink into them, but will plan in advance how much we want to attach every small descent that comes to our good state, to the ascent, and then we will rise even higher. Where do the ascents come from? From us attaching the descents to our permanent state if we prepared ourselves for this in advance.
