Baal HaSulam “The Gatehouse of Intentions”: The meaning of back-to-back is that there are judgments there, which are corrected by concealment…He established them with illumination of covered Hassadim like the illumination of HGT, which conceals the NHY in them so they cannot awaken and draw illumination of Hochma according to their nature​.

How can we appease the receiving desires, which want to be filled with the Light of Hochma and don’t understand anything else? How can we prevent them from impeding our work? We can’t destroy the desires. We can only correct their usage by changing our intention. Here the correction called “back-to-back” or “from the reverse side,” takes place.

You have to show the receiving desires that you can only bestow. Then they leave you immediately, as if they disappear, recoil. However, as soon as you begin to engage in receiving for the sake of bestowal, these desires reappear instantly and begin to demand for their own sake. For this reason, while transitioning from Katnut or Hafetz Hesed to Gadlut, we have to “stock up” the power of withstanding our egoism.
