Can Gentiles Do Havdalah Hachnaah and Hamtakah

QUESTION Are goyim (gentiles) not able to do the same avodah (inner spiritual work) as Jews? Aren’t gentiles also able to become “present in the moment” and use any of the ways of subjugating, separating, and sweetening one’s inner evil (hachnaah, havdalah, hamtakah), as other gentile authors have written about?

ANSWER A gentile can reach the outer layer of avodah, not the inner layer of avodah. A gentile can separate from materialism but he is not able to sanctify it. Meaning, gentiles can do hachnaah (subjugating their evil) and havdalah (separating themselves from evil), but they cannot do hamtakah (sweetening and harmonizing the evil within oneself).
