We get an invitation to realize the Reshimo, an awakening from a higher degree, through the society, the friends, the teacher. It’s preset — the degree standing before me — it just depends how I receive these awakenings, and thus how soon I’ll reach this upper degree. I clothe into the ten, and that’s how I realize it. That’s practically all there is to it.
If it’s a system, the lungs can’t override the brain, however united in agreement the lungs might be. They have to nullify to the brain.
A conflict is a revelation of the shattered state that was already present. We’re all shattered. I could be unaware of that; aware but indifferent (I want to remain as I am); or aware and in a crisis over it so that I’m screaming out to the Creator for help. And these states can manifest externally, too. For example, I can be fighting with the ten, and not, in practice, in the acknowledgement that the state is a result of my shattered attitude to them. Meaning I know it, in theory, but the way I relate to the state isn’t such that I fix only my attitude instead of setting out to fix the friends. That means I’m shattered but unconscious of it.
We need to cry out from this state, for the creator to help. I’m happy I am aware of what is broken, and that I have the wherewithal to turn to the Creator. That’s already, on both ends, something a regular person lacks. They suffer with no solution; I could receive help in this state.
“Anyone can be as Moses if he cleanses his ways.” So, no, it can’t be that I’m supposed to only remain in darkness and deficiency. But there are states when I need to accept the darkness in a way that it’s as if from now until forever I’ll be in the dark, and I’m ok, and even grateful, that I have this point of adhesion, that at agree with the Creator, whatever He wills. This is called delighted in mercy, hassidim.
