The difference is unfathomable. We’re in a broken vessel so we can’t even imagine a whole vessel like existed in Adam HaRishon. For now, we’re just trying to build a desire for spirituality, the importance of the goal so that we will go toward connection with our broken, missing parts. We won’t be allowed to connect incorrectly so if we connect it will already be a corrected kli the light can fill.
We need to reach the quality of bestowal from its opposite. From free choice. We’re not reading about such states in TES. There, we’re talking about a whole vessel, not like us, shattered parts of a vessel. There, it’s in contact with the Light. It can be different kinds of Light, but there is contact. What about us? We have no contact. That’s a state when you can say you’re free. You can decide to invite the Light or not. Which Light do you have contact with? Only the Light of correction. You want to correct yourself? As much and as quickly as you’d like.
“I wear a screen” I haven’t heard. Kabbalists say, the Will to Receive is restricted, with a screen over it.
It’s possible and certain that we know if we have a screen, and precisely which coarseness we work with, against which screen. If one didn’t know, he might receive in order to receive.
There is certainly choice in this. Now there is choice when to reach this. Either now, running forward, bursting, until we reach it – or no: we have something else we prefer to enjoy now instead.
Later, there’s a different kind of choice, when we have the screen.
He is a force, and you are also a force, or a collection of forces that imagines that it is free. He’s not a ‘dumb’ force like we think about gravity, for example. He is more than us and all of us put together. A different kind of force. We’re in a reality consisting of nothing besides forces, and He includes all of them. He is, in the end, the only one acting. Through a more correct lens, we’d see there is no one in the world – because to live means to be free and here there are only complete marionettes.
It is said that all this reality was just an ‘adornment’. The Creator didn’t need it. But a decision was made that we need it, and, that it was all worth it. And now, our work is easy. It’s said that the Creator made man straight, but he preferred circuitous ways. We make it hard by not wanting to be corrected right away, but prefer anything besides coming to correction.
