The Creator created the desire to receive, which stands opposite to His desire to bestow, and then created within us the system of Klipot (impure forces) as a kind of image opposite to His image. In this way, He gave us the possibility of existing in the desire to receive in the form of a Klipa. For the desire to receive is simply a desire; it is neither good nor bad. And opposite to it there is only the light of Nefesh.

But then, as a result of the shattering, the properties of the Creator entered the desire to receive, but in an inverted form. At that point, this desire became not merely a desire to receive, but a Klipa. That is, it wants to take the Creator’s place and use these properties for its own pleasure. In this way, He gave us His image in an inverted, negative form. And when we correct this image, we come to adhesion with Him.

The Sitra Achra brings me all the properties, all the similarity, and all the understanding of what the opposite form in holiness should be. I learn from it, and on this basis, above it, I build my holy image by, as it were, stealing from it, extracting from it. Thanks to this, I build my blessing, my Kli for receiving abundance. We must understand the opposition between these two systems and how necessary it is.
