    I don’t know. There cannot be many variations of physics or chemistry, and the laws of the Upper World are further laws of nature that do no leave room for variability – and so the answer is no: a path could be more accurate or less, but there cannot be many correct paths. That’s why a person has to put all their eggs in one basket: choose where their heart tells them is best, and once decided, stick with that place and that teacher until the end.

    I’m not going to make such innovations in the Torah – but surely as one ages, one overcomes all kinds of silly pursuits, in part because he cannot receive them in any case; it’s just that now he is wise enough to know it. Sure, there’s a spiritual root for it, being the purification of the Masach [screen].

    Hi Zorica,

    I don’t know that Baal HaSulam wanted to say that the ‘finding’ is imaginary, but ‘do not believe’ means that you will lose it, because you did not labor, so you’ll lack the Kli. That’s why I need to promise that I’ll give the labor afterward. To promise means to be prepared to give the labor, and to do it as soon as possible. Because there are some states in which one has no room for labor.

    Still, through the accents and descents, we gradually build a complete desire, to finally leave the Will to Receive permanently. What does it mean that I go back to my Will to Receive’s dominion? I don’t want to leave it for good, but a little bit, I can. There’s an accumulation of these data, and eventually one decides with finality: I don’t follow my ego. Then the Upper Light makes a cut between me and my ego, and I can be above it, and it can’t drag me into the swamp. Above the Will to Receive, I give it everything it needs, but never again without a calculation. We only need to help each other reach this “never again.” The Creator will not do it until we want it.

    “Faith” is bestowal, but it points to the aspect of bestowal above reception, above my understanding, without evidence and even against my evidence. And to what extent I can stay in the state forever, that is without any calculations.

    The substance of the ten is also the Will to Receive but if we’re talking about a spiritual ten, it’s a Will to Receive in a form of collective bestowal, where friends work as a system, through the Arvut, in order to bring contentment to the Creator.
