... Digging wells is the beginning of the spiritual work.

When the bestowing intention fills the whole gap inside of the will to enjoy, we can then use this water to irrigate the earth and revive the crops, and let the animals drink: the donkeys, camels or people, and gradually reach corrections.

... the qualities of Bina, i.e. aspirations to work for the sake of bestowal.

To dig up a well is to receive an intention for the sake of bestowal within a corrupt desire, plain earth. We must find a place for the well, to come to feel a deficiency, and begin digging up the ground until the hollow in the earth begins filling up with water ...

We dig up the egoistic intentions and in its place we put down intentions for the sake of bestowal.

Separating the egoistic intention from desire is possible only by uniting with friends. Together we dig up the common desire, as a house is built on piling: holes are dug up and filled with concrete, and then the building is erected vertically over it.

The light of Hassadim endows the earth with strength, granting a new harvest.

By acquiring intentions for the sake of bestowal, man can shift his rock (stony heart) that's plugging the well, and then everyone will be able to enjoy the water from the well. The wellhole filled with water, i.e. the light of Hassadim, is a well filled with living water.

... in all the creatures, unites them, and operates inside of them.

Everyone is connected and everyone is corrected. Only I feel that I am separated from others and I judge them from my own flaws. If I correct myself and correctly imagine the state of all of creation, then I will see: the Shechina, the Creator's revelation dresses ...

... but the ego separates me from this reality.

We build the upper world out of desires aimed at reciprocal bestowal to one another. This is "the soul". We have to imagine a reality that's different from the one we feel - one where everyone is connected together. That is how it in fact exists: as a unified integral world...

There is also an upper Source, but it does not exist in our desires and intentions in any way

The higher our reflected light is, the better we will imagine what the upper world is. It does not exist prior to that. Everything exists only in our desire: either for the sake of reception, or for the sake of bestowal.

We build the upper world in this reflected light.

We do not enter the upper world, but build it. It does not exist in a ready-made form. All of the premises are ready for us to create it. We build the spiritual world from our will to enjoy, and make restriction, the screen and reflected light over it.

... to the transition from the corporeal world into the spiritual world.

We have to imagine the difference between being "inside reason", meaning our current ego-mind and heart, and "above reason", in bestowal. That is how we gradually start to come closer to the boundary separating "inside reason" and "above reason" ...

If I act not for my own benefit but for others' benefit, there's no reason for me to be isolated from them. They cannot harm me. On the contrary, I can use everything that's there beyond the boundaries of the space suit, for everyone's benefit.

... to the neighbor's benefit, I neutralize my "I" - I don't need a space suit.
