We should yearn for the one force, the one reality that exists so that it will begin to control us. This should be the result of our exertion.
People ask me: How is it possible to check and see if we’ve actually attained something? To attain a certain result means to feel that there is no self-desire or self-thought left in any one. It is as if we’ve embarked on a spaceship and have disconnected from earth.
We rise and we begin to feel only the new collective field we are in. Just as every bird in a big flock doesn’t feel its own desire: where to turn to and what to do. There is one collective brain that operates everyone in synchrony. Even the birds that fly in the front and those that fly behind, on the right and on the left, no matter where they are, they all turn together, change speed and direction, and even turn in the opposite direction; not one bird turns too soon or too late.
A moment ago they were flying in one direction and suddenly all at once, they all turn 180 degrees, as if they were one body. This is called being one man in one heart, in general mutual guarantee. We cannot attain this attribute by ourselves, but only by the Reforming Light that ties everyone together into one system.
It is an analog system in which there is no “entry” or “exit,” there is no beginning or end, but everything happens at once simultaneously.
Modern physics is also discovering that the true reality is above time and that all over the universe different phenomena that are not related to time take place, but one process is tied to other processes that take place simultaneously. An ants’ nest operates according to the same principle in which millions of ants are operated by one brain.
We observe many such phenomena in the inanimate, vegetative, and animate worlds where each individual has no brain of his own, but all of them together seem to be receiving orders from a general brain that shows them what to do and that arranges everything.
This is the level we should reach. The difference, of course, is that when it comes to us, it has to happen in our feeling, in our understanding, in our recognition that in that “One” we attain our first spiritual degree. Then that “One” that we attain, that feeling, that brain, that life, is called the “revelation of the Creator.”
Then we are already in a different intention, in a different reality, in which one force controls the heart and the mind. We are incorporated in it, learn it, and get to know it to the extent that it can be revealed according to the thickness of our level.
Later our ego is revealed again and separates us from the “One,” so that we will attain it in greater depth, in greater, more qualitative, and clearer discernments. Thus we advance in our work: We connect, we ask for the Reforming Light, and are incorporated once more in the concept of the “One” more deeply.
This is how the Creator is revealed to the created beings in this world. I really hope that we are all on the verge of this revelation today.

A Very Serious Convention
Question: The coming convention makes me feel fear and pressure that are way too strong. I don’t feel happiness and love, but only instructions and warnings. I don’t feel like going to the convention any more. Why have I reached this state?
Answer: It’s because you’ve never thought that a convention is not a picnic. You always came to our conventions like to a festival full of lectures, performances, dancing, and meals…. If a person awakens himself with the help of such activities, they are serious and beneficial for him. But if he doesn’t, he can simply enjoy life, without approaching what’s important.
In the past, too, people used to come to the Temple because there was always fresh meat and good wine there. While others used to come there with rather different thoughts.
Today we make people understand where they are. Everyone has to understand and agree to this; everyone should feel great fear. The Torah even describes the external signs of this state, such as ground shaking, thunders, and so on. It is really so.
At the same time, this very important situation should evoke happiness in us. You are in Gevurot (strength), but the upper level is revealed to you, if you deserve it, of course. If you don’t, here will be your burial place. So you should decide whether you should come or not.
The quality of the participants is more important than the quantity. Mass dissemination of the principle of mutual guarantee is one thing, while a spiritual ascent in the desert is something else.
If a person comes there as if to a picnic, he will cause himself great harm. He will diminish our power and will disturb us with his foreign thoughts and desires, and he will be punished for that in the future. Such a person shouldn’t come. There is room here only for those who are very serious.
I will understand if people decide to stay at home. It will actually be a serious attitude: A person is afraid, not sure of himself, understands that he is still weak internally.…
Well, so perhaps in another two thousand years you will have another chance ?

We Must Not Withdraw
Question: The closer we get to the convention, the more we feel the emptiness of thoughts, feelings, and powers. What does that mean and how can we work with that feeling?
Answer: This always happens before any important action, when a person loses all his previous, lengthy preparations. All the decisions a person has made and all his readiness suddenly disappear and there is a certain emptiness left, like while waiting for something.
It is true, it happens in corporeal life too. There is nothing we can do about it. It is very similar to the silence before a battle, when we know that in a short while a military operation is about to begin or even a war, but there is nothing you can do. We have been preparing ourselves, and have done everything in our power, and all that is left now is to wait. There is such a waiting period, a period of silence before the battle.
The same thing happens in both the corporeal and spiritual worlds, and it is true. It is a period when a person must make finer clarifications of the state he is going to.
It doesn’t mean that you should leave time for idleness and throw up your hands as if there is no choice and nothing that you can do, no matter what may happen. I should intensify my sensitivity, the sharpness of the clarification, up to the next level and prepare myself for finer discernments and frequencies compared to what I had before.
We should sharpen our sensitivity and try to feel what we couldn’t feel before.

On The Verge Of The First Revelation
A Chance Of A Life Time
Only One Step Until Disclosure
Question: In what way should our intention in the Arava convention be different from what we had before? What should we prepare ourselves for?
Answer: Our intention during this convention is to add great fear, great anxiety: What if I don’t support the general effort correctly?
Just like in a poker game, I go all-in, wager all my resources, and put all the cards on the table. I am ready to give all of myself in order to attain the Light that Reforms. I am ready to give my share and to push everyone towards the goal. At the same time, in unification with all the friends, I want to receive through them the force that will connect me not with them, but to the One above them. We must do our utmost so that love will cover all sins. We must yearn for mutual guarantee and unity.
The difference is that this time we act on our own, without the external circles, in one thought, desire, and intention. We don’t leave it, we are constantly inside. We attack not only and not so much mentally as in desire and intention.
This is what we prepare, and everything else depends on the participants. They build this state.

Four Conditions
A Letter With No Addressee
Question: Can the group forbid a friend to participate in the convention because of improper behavior?
Answer: We must check every case separately. On the whole, these are the criteria:
These four conditions are mandatory. If a person fulfills them, he has a place in the convention.
But we made some mitigations and we don’t check the participants according to these criteria. Many of them don’t pay tithe, do not participate in the morning lessons, and so on. Surely, these people don’t quite understand what we have in mind and what we do. However, it doesn’t mean that we won’t be able to succeed in the convention and that it will only be a “practice.”
Besides, different people come from different parts of the collective soul of Adam HaRishon, and for some of them it takes twice or three times longer to master the system. They can advance in some particular aspect, but it is more difficult for them to change internally. There are those who even become worse: coarse, careless, and so on. Don’t judge your friend until you step in his shoes.
On the whole, we don’t judge the friends according to their external behavior unless it is related to dissemination work. The main thing is that a person doesn’t show disregard.
Question: Does this mean that in the meantime these criteria are a recommendation and not a demand?
Answer: This time we don’t impose them, but a person should know that not fulfilling them keeps him behind. He can participate in our activities, but he won’t advance. He won’t disturb us in the convention, and he will feel an ascent, but not as a “man” who comes out of Egypt.
We give these people a chance to be with us, at a lower level that limits the feeling and the advancement. There is nothing we can do about it.

Putting The Cards On The Table
A Letter With No Addressee
Question: How is it possible to enter happiness while reading The Book of Zohar?
Answer: We have the greatest means that promises us success. If you are near it, it only remains for you to use it.
It is like you had been searching for treasure for many years, you crossed continents and oceans, and then in a remote cave you found it, and now the chest with the gold is in your hands! All that treasure is yours! You only need to use it.
We have found the treasure: The Book of Zohar, and now we only need to use it correctly, it is already in our hands.
Also to use it correctly isn’t simple. You need to invest these “gold coins” making sure that you are doing so in a good way.
We are near the force that can also transform into a great destructive force, the “angel of death” instead of a “holy angel.” That is why The Book of The Zohar wasn’t revealed to people during hundreds of years, only during our times when man is really capable of using this power for good and when all of humanity arrives at a hopeless state and must change.
Therefore, we should rejoice that this force is in our hands. And now, with great caution, we need to learn how to use it correctly.

Opinion (Fred Spier, Vice President, the International Big History Association): “What supports the complexity of the universe? The flow of energy! However, the problem is that the more complex the system becomes, the higher the entropy is, and the disorganization of the system increases. What is the solution? To minimize the entropy of the materials is the immediate task of humanity.”
My Comment: Only the behavior of man, who includes in himself all other systems of nature as his subsystems, can bring the whole system of the universe in order. The balance and peace of the universe depend only on man.

Opinion (Dr. David Hookes, Department of Computer Science, University of Liverpool, UK): “The triple crisis—credit, ecological, and technological—cannot be regulated by digital technologies.
“Humanity exists in the old paradigm, and only the quantum paradigm will help to avoid disaster. The meaning of the new logic is the transition from a consumer society to a knowledge society. In some sense it resembles… neo-socialism based on equitable redistribution due to the abolition of the principle of financial markets and bubbles.”
My Comment: Unfortunately, no specific plans follow the bold statements that recently are growing in numbers.
