Question: What does it mean to look at everything with the goal in mind? What should we look for from the perspective of the goal?

Answer: The problem is that until certain concepts take shape within us, we will not understand what we are talking about. That is why Kabbalah is called the hidden wisdom. Sometimes I feel sweetness, sometimes pain, moisture, cold, trouble, or sadness.

Through my own sensations, I already acquire Reshimot, and I can understand another person when they act in a certain way, explain something to me, play music, or show me something. Based on my own experience, I understand them. But if I had never felt any of these things myself, I would never understand what they were talking about. That is the difference.

The essence of the hidden wisdom is that, first of all, we need to equip ourselves with various concepts, all kinds of impressions and sensations that do not simply exist within a person naturally. They come to a person during the period of preparation, before the Machsom, through work in the group, study, dissemination, and other activities.

We go through different states and experience inner explosions. In this way, we gradually begin to make sense of our impressions in the realm of spiritual sensations. Although this is only an approximation, it is already something resembling the beginning of a person’s spiritual development. The more of these states you experience, the better you will understand what is being discussed. Without them, it is very difficult to explain.

The fewer concepts you have, both in terms of their depth and their number, the harder it is for you to picture what is being described. Do you know how an image is formed on a screen, for example, from pixels or dots? If some of the dots are missing from your screen, if the screen is insensitive and has only two or three dots, then I can give you only two or three concepts corresponding to those dots, and you will say that you do not understand me.

Add another six hundred, six hundred thousand, six million, or a billion dots, and you will see a huge number of additional details in my picture. Then a single word will be enough to explain everything to you. One symbol can give you an understanding of the entire screen with its billions of pixels, and you will be able to construct a colorful picture, a vast, beautiful, eternal, and perfect one.

This depends not on me, but on you. That is what we are talking about: everything depends on the Kelim, while the light is in absolute rest.

Everything changes within a person, too. Sometimes there are a few pixels on your “screen,” but even so, you can grasp something. At other times, this is concealed from you. Why? An update is taking place: the previous picture is erased, and a new one is being created.

When they want to give you a new picture, that is, additional sensitivity, greater “resolution,” it is impossible to add it on top of the previous one. It is like the state of acquiring ten new Sefirot, when the entire previous picture must be erased. This is the state in which you find yourself in complete confusion, unable to understand what is happening to you.

Then a new foundation comes to you, with several new points of sensitivity, and you can see a clearer picture. But in the interval between these processes, you are completely confused.
