That all of reality was made only as a place for our choice. We have the option to ask or not ask the Creator for anything. When I ask, and the resulting state is a response, do I ask again, or I’m fine with that N+1 state? Say I ask again. Now am I fine with this N+2 state? I choose where the correction starts and stops. That’s why it’s a long process, because I don’t need it to move forward yet.
Yes. On the connection between us. What should we ask the Creator now, for our connection. Every time, the state we are in, is a response, and from that state we ask again.
There’s an approach by which either could be correct. We can say that internal corrections are all that is upon us to do, and we can’t correct anything from the externality. Moreover, we must correct all that is before us, as if completing the whole correction. All that we could imagine to correct, internally, is only our next degree. But after we make that correction, a new set of broken pieces is revealed. The external is a result of the internal corrections taking place a bit at a time.
The messiah is a force of correction that corrects all of humanity, aims them at the Creator.
This includes everything. Love of friends includes all the worlds, partzufim, sefirot. And yes, it starts with realizing that we’re all here, driven by the same aspiration toward the Creator, and so I must value every friend.
