Nevertheless, there are in you thoughts about this and thoughts about that. There are thoughts that are toward the goal. You need to invest more in them, when you have them. When you don’t have them, you can’t do anything. But according to how you invest when you do have them, in the friends, the books, the lessons, and so on – accordingly, these thoughts will increase. In this, you have free will. Only in the strengthening, especially in strengthening the environment. This is what is written.
The thoughts come to you from Him but you can increase the thoughts you want, through the society, books, lessons. Affect the society and that will affect your thoughts.
Baal HaSulam says that spirituality is a reality like going to London. One can say what he saw there, for example Big Ben. Centuries later, one who never met the first one can add on, that Big Ben is gold. The first one saw that it was gold but felt no need to write it down. This way, Kabbalists across the generations write about the same upper world. It’s something not personal or flexible but rock-hard, like our world; only it’s another world, an upper world. Regardless of one’s background before he opens this world up, he reveals the same world.
The Surrounding Light shines, and the Partzuf feels from within, pressure from its desires, to receive that Light which remains outside.
Since it has no relationship or similarity to any feeling in this world, there are no words to describe that. Baal HaSulam says one would chop their own limbs off seven times per day, to taste spirituality for one moment in their life. We don’t have any pleasure we would do that for – not even the most addictive drug. We simply can’t imagine spiritual life whatsoever. So, Kabbalists don’t attempt to describe it.
