QUESTION:
How can a person grow from the ohr makif (lit. “enveloping light”, the higher levels afforded by the inspiration) of every Yom Tov without imagining his growth?
ANSWER:
From being clear about what my current level is (which is one’s ohr pnimi, his inner light, the levels he has already internalized) and the level that is a bit above his current level, which is his ohr makif (enveloping light) which are higher levels that he is aware of but which are not yet his actual current level. One should be aware that the higher levels that he becomes connected to on Yom Tov (ohr makif) are the level above him and not yet his current level (ohr pnimi). This is the way to come out of the problem of imagining that he’s on a higher level.
