What do you mean by without all the imaginary nonsense?

In Shamati 1, the right and left hands are described as two approaches in the work. Can these also be seen as the states of ascents and descents, or are they a different kind of discernment?

Thank you, dear Friend!

Since lo lishma means working not for the sake of the Creator but for another purpose, would directing my efforts in the spiritual path toward finding a partner also fall under lo lishma? And if so, is it still a valid stage of progress?

Is it better to focus my efforts on correcting my relation with the friends and with the Creator, even while remaining a “half a desire,” and trust that the other half (a partner) will come at the right time? Should I be in a hurry to find a partner in order to be complete, or is it more important to work with what the Creator has given me in this moment?

Is this state of being “half a desire” necessarily an obstacle for spiritual advancement, or can it be used as a deficiency that strengthens prayer?
