Joining Everything Into One

Dr. Michael LaitmanMy goal is to constantly reveal the extent to which I am unable to connect everything together into “one man with one heart,” and to demand the Torah whose Light reforms. This Light reaches us from the source of AB-SAG (Hochma and Bina together).

After all, we are unable to attain Keter itself, but only through our actions in the Light of Hochma and the Light of Hassidim. And all of this is revealed in ZON: in the broken and divided creature. Thus we correct ourselves each time.

This is why it is said that first of all there will be the correction of the world and only afterwards the final correction. After all, “world” means “muteness” (Elem), “concealment” (Alama), separation. The Light of One, which connects everything together and directs everything from one upper source, first of all carries out the correction and connects everything that I feel in my sensation of reality together.

And then depending on how opposite and scattered these poles are in my perception and depending on how much Light that Reforms I attract, which connects everything above their differences into One, to the extent of this gap between separation and unity, I discover the magnitude of my spiritual vessel or desire.

In this vessel I feel the power of the Light revealed as Nefesh, Ruach, Neshma, Haya, and Yechida. The kind of Light I feel depends on the difference between the broken and separated desires connected by the Light above themselves into one general intention to use themselves for the sake of bestowal.

From this we understand the meaning of “for the sake of bestowal,” which means that I can connect with someone in one action, with one goal. Egotistically, it isn’t possible to act together, with one goal. Indeed, each one wants to act for himself, to fulfill his private desires. Thus, within the ego, the concept of One cannot exist, only the concept of “many.”

If we are speaking of One, which means the connection into a single whole, the return to Him, the revelation of the One (since actually there is none else besides Him, and everything else is the worlds, “concealments”), then this concept exists only outside of the egotistic desire. That is, it exists in the desires of others, in order to connect them all by the intention to bestow together to that One.

From this picture it becomes clear that only through bestowal can we succeed in reaching common actions and reach one result from the numerous actions that aspire to unite together. This is impossible in egoistic reception, but only if we exit our egoism and move outside towards the mutual goal, outside of our personal egoistic interests.

Infinity: The Summit Of Attainment

Dr. Michael LaitmanThe Creator in defined by the concept of “One,” as it is said: “One, Unique, and Unified.” This is how He reveals Himself to us. When Kabbalists attain the Light of Infinity, the highest point we can possibly attain, they discover One concept that includes everything without any differences.

In the beginning everything was included into this single concept: all the created beings as one creation. Afterwards, in order to give the created beings a feeling of existence, understanding, and attainment of who they are and who the Creator is and to make them appreciate the complete and eternal state in which they exist, this single concept was divided into numerous individual concepts that are opposite to Him.

This is how the descent from the world of Infinity up to this world occurs, according to the rungs of the ladder, through the five worlds (Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya). Within them, a huge number of changes take place. This descent of the worlds goes on until it reaches our world in which we are completely detached from perfection and even from the feeling of the lack thereof.

Infinity - The Summit Of Attainment

But it is especially due to this that we begin to attain unity, the One. It is due to our efforts to correct our view point of the world, our perception of reality through our five senses and above them, as much as we can imagine it to ourselves, and to connect everything to the single One.

We have no other work: only to connect everything together into One concept. Each one connects his perception of the world to One, and everyone connects their perceptions together so that everything merges into One. And this work is applied primarily in the group, with the help of the efforts of the many who want to determine the concept of this One above all the differences between them.

The Only Way To Enter The Upper World

Dr. Michael LaitmanRabash, “Love of Friends” (abridged version): The only way to enter the spiritual world and obtain a new sensation is for a few people to get together who have a small desire to exit their egoism. However, they can’t do it independently without help from outside. Even if they try to get together to connect, they can’t. In order for them to be able to connect, they need the influence of the general Light. Since the Light comes from the One, Unique, and Unified, it unites our desires into a single desire. Each person senses a unified creation where we merge in our desires, and the Light fulfills us.

Each one of them has the potential to reveal the quality of bestowal, but they can’t realize it in action. However, each of them enters the group. If each person who enters the group lowers himself before the group by accepting its conditions, then this group becomes a single body, a single desire.

Do all that’s in our power and redemption will come in an instant from Above, as soon as we exert a certain amount of effort in uniting. The main thing that we are faced with today is the unity of friends. Our only goal is to obtain such unity, effort, and intention between us so that this would attract the Light’s influence, and the Light will complete the work by uniting us. Exert more and more effort in this matter for it will redeem all of your shortcomings. Ultimately, when you all unite, you become similar to the Light.
