Then, start with a part of the picture: There is None Else Besides Him. And when you are somewhat in that, add that He is also good and doing good. Whatever is dark, it’s because my Will to Receive doesn’t want to come closer to bestowal; the darkness is happening only to it. Atop the darkness, I can be in joy. I feel all the bad feelings in my uncorrected body (desire). What would I feel in my corrected body? This is in the direction of Faith Above Reason, that you do everything as if in a state of ascent.
Let it be that way, then. “They are not me. They are the opposite of me, precisely the parts that have nothing to do with me. That’s why I have to connect specifically with them: because the Creator is revealed in a relation called ‘love the OTHER as yourself.’ That’s why He brought me them as friends, because only with them can that other truly be called an other. And if I will come to love them, I’ll truly give the Creator contentment.”
Behave in your thoughts and feelings as if you’re in the end of correction together with your friends. From that state, you’ll always know what to ask for. Every moment you need to try to search for that state. Then, your prayer will always change.
We can’t be in a corrected state, until we see what’s wrong, and ask to be corrected. “There is no righteous in the land who does good, and did not sin [first].” So, search for the right prayer.
I can’t answer how things interconnect because between things there can be countless relationships.
During a descent, you could tend to wicked or to righteous.
All comes from the Creator, however “he did not say ‘wicked’ or ‘righteous'” because in a descent or ascent you can become wicked or righteous. It depends what your direction is, out of the state the Creator gave.
Kabbalists don’t attempt to reconcile religious views with Kabbalistic views. Why would there be a contrast? Because for thousands of years and after thousands of commentators who did not attain the Upper World referred to by these texts, the obvious, expected, and by corporeal logic, perfectly logical conclusions were arrived at. Meaning to understand the Creator, you have to become like the Creator. Otherwise, each will form his own opinion based on his animal instinct.
