The higher something is, the lower it falls. So too, the loftiest revelations wait to be discovered in the lowest places.
Therefore, if you find yourself in a place seemingly devoid of anything spiritual—don’t despair. The lower you fall, the higher you can reach.
Higher Lower Very Inspiring Indeed! Reply

Yes. Those who lift themselves up will be humbled; but Gd lifts up those who are low of heart. Reply
Beautifully spoken !
Maybe we should aspire to be meek and lowly of heart !

Exile or Jacob's troubles
You are still in the time of Jacobs troubles.
Is this the same as exile ?

To the previous post-
I think you are mixing up spiritually low and psychologically sick.
I think that when we feel low and deppresed but nontheless are able raise ourselves up, or if after doing a sin or something low we dont condem ourselves but inspire ourslves that we can do better, that this can bring us to a higher point than where we were before feeling low or doing something low. I believe this is partially what the Rebbe meant.

If you allow yourself to go too low, I am afraid, you may reach a point of no return. G-d hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh was doomed to destruction.
The poor Korean shooting monster fell so low, what unimaginable spiritual highs was he supposed to attain? Really, was he?

Judgment
God sees the heart of every man.
Did God harden the heart of Pharaoh or was Pharaohs heart already hardened ?
We judge man from the exterior but God judges from the heart.

Humor and wit also applies A kite rises in opposition to the wind, so we rise too , when opposed. So my Dad said, "to go fly a kite!" Maybe that's alot like life, because kite flying as I remember , isn't that easy! When you're down, it's nice to have a comic in the house!
