It could be from an individual if they have true spiritual feelings. But there’s also a story that Baal Shem Tov paid a drunk klezmer musician on the street to play for him, to uplift his spirits, so from slightly uplifted spirits he could begin more correct internal work. We can use the music of our friends all the more so, without overthinking it.
The Reshimot define the future form. For example, we’re in a broken perception. Its unity is what’s ahead for us. The form of that unity is predefined. There are better and worse ways to realize the Reshimot. If it lands on us, it’s horrible. If we run toward connection, it’s wonderful. The Surrounding Light we activate brings it about optimally.
Anything one does with their biological body has nothing to do with spirituality. I can replace my heart with a pig heart. It’s not eternal, it’s playing with the elements of the complete imagination that I’m having and think is real. It has no effect except the time and attention I’m spending on imaginary things.

We need to “express our inner ‘moo’.” The one that comes from our Point in the Heart, as removed as possible from our other inclinations.
The essence of our music, though it lacks the depth of a Baal HaSulam piece, written from the heights of the spiritual world – is that we do it together, there’s no star, it’s an expression of the love between the friends, their nullification to one another, that it’s only about this love between us, and that when the friends hear it, it’s easy for them to sing along. Baal HaSulam song lyrics are ‘li li li li…” and that’s actually great.
That’s what it is, a meat suit. Its experiences are no more profound than those of a costume, or those in the lives of cattle. Whatever we’re doing in our lives, isn’t called human, but a unique iteration of animal life, like dolphin life has its specifics, ant life its specifics. So, we do many things without achieving what we should, like some tribe that found a car but only uses it to dance on top of it or something. We’re dancing upon the Earth, when we’re supposed to use it as a springboard to an alien dimension – of bestowal and love and connection.
