Questions about Spiritual Work—253

235Question: All the actions that we study in TES, is that what I take and read from my higher degree, from the ten, from the group? And then all of this comes together?

Answer: All of this comes together within each person. Therefore, he must be attuned so that his Kelim feel the influence of the light upon him.

Question: How can we extract the force of bestowal from the light?

Answer: We must do what the Kabbalists advise us. Then each time we will surely receive the correct answers, what to do in order to draw closer to one another and to the light.

Question: We always speak of the Kli as the organ that feels the entrances and exits of the light. How does it sense it?

Answer: A Kli is the desire to receive. And to the extent that it draws the light into itself and enjoys it, to that extent it feels the light.

The Main Prayer

239Question: Can the upper transfer His desire to the lower one?

Answer: This is exactly what He does, but only in response to our request: “Give us the right desires!” We pray only for desire, that my desire be like His, “make your desire similar to the desire of the Creator.”

I don’t need anything else from Him, only a new program for my behavior, what to do. I need to receive reason, strength, and knowledge from Him in order to be able to work correctly with my material.

Namely, to realize the depravity of the current program of my behavior because it is opposite to the one by which He acts, and ask it to replaced with one similar to Him. This means my correction in the likeness of the Creator.

Understand the Actions of the Light

276.03Question: It is said in TES: “The point of the desire felt it as a kind of indirect extension from His essence.” What is “indirect extension” within us?

Answer: Baal HaSulam means that we are still under the influence of the light even if we go through a contraction.

We must wait until the effects of the light’s manifestation accumulate within us. Each time it illuminates us, it gradually prepares us to understand its actions correctly.

Approach the Highest Degree

276.02Question: There is light and Kli. To what do the three stages preceding Malchut relate more—to the light or to the Kli?

Answer: I cannot answer you because I do not see the picture that you see. It is different for me.

The light is what comes from the highest degree to the lowest one. By performing certain actions at the lower degree, we begin to feel changes in the higher degree, which changes itself so as to be closer to us. In principle, this is all that we have to do.

The Mutual Influence of the Light and the Kli

232.04Question: You said that if the Kli feels that it is in equivalence with the light, then the connection between them is correct and good. But if not, it means that both of them must develop. While the development of the Kli can be somehow understood, what does the development of the light mean?

Answer: In the mutual influence of the light on the Kli and the Kli on the light, we see from the very first action to what extent they determine each other’s state.

Therefore, we must try to feel that if we do not expand the Kli, we cannot receive greater influence from the light.

The Limit of the Desire to Receive

263Question: Does the desire to receive always feel shame? After all, there are people who can receive endlessly without feeling any responsibility.

Answer: No, there is a boundary, a limit up to which a person can receive without feeling shame or being concerned about their desire.

Question: What should the desire to receive transform into?

Answer: Under the influence of the upper light this desire changes from receiving to bestowal.

Answer: Free creation is something a person studies on himself. Although it seems to him that he is not free; in fact, he reveals the freedom he finds himself in.

Answer: We all need to feel absolutely the whole universe, all the worlds, but gradually.

Question: What does the science of Kabbalah call processes opposite to entropy?
