Question: How is it possible to discover and know our purpose?

Answer: Anyone can learn his destiny through the higher program of nature that governs our world.

When the person learns and explores this program, he gradually begins to feel his spiritual uniqueness: what his personal task is in the present incarnation, the fate of his previous one, his inner characteristics, nature, motivations, and drives, why he was created this way and developed under the influence of the environment precisely in a manner like this and not another.

And then he understands how to be integrated in this system and manage it. He explores everything through his inner personal characteristics. That is the way he enters into the “control center” with his desires and intentions.

Question: For example, I have a desire to enjoy food.

Answer: That is physical life. We are talking about what is found above it. Everything that is found in the framework of our lives—food, sex, family, wealth, power, and knowledge—is relevant to our world.

And there are motives and desires that are directed above physical substance: attaining the meaning of life, the meaning of existence, the upper world, Ein Sof (Infinity), and not merely entering into the higher management system, but also controlling it, seeing its eternal flow.

Fulfilling Your Destiny
The Meaning Of Life: The Question That Cannot Be Avoided

Filed under: Spiritual Work - 1 Comment →

Question: About twenty years ago, I came to you to make a short film plot about the wisdom of Kabbalah. I wasn’t thinking about anything that was connected to the meaning of life. I didn’t have a thought that I would stay with you.

I came; I saw that there was nothing to film. There were no red strings. There was no holy water. There was no Star of David. You came, you sat down, you began to speak, and from the fourth sentence, I had the feeling I was—at home.

But I know that everything was different for you: the desire to understand the meaning of life burned in you. How does this happen to a person?

Answer: It depends. Each has his own story.

But basically, if you remember your childhood, we all wondered about the meaning of life: “What are people living for? What happens with them after death?”—and so on.

Little children often ask this question. But then it fades, especially when hormonal development begins overwhelming everything. After some time, the question about the meaning of life sometimes begins to appear from time to time.

But in our world, the higher management does not expect we will be caught in such matters. So it pushes us through suffering and lack of meaning in life.

We are at an impasses that was determined deliberately by the higher management of our world. If we open books of Kabbalah that were written even 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, it is written that the world will come to its dead end at the end of the 20^th century or the beginning of the 21^st century. Our time specifically must become the entry for attaining the upper world for all of humanity.

Question: Does this mean that you think this dead end is good?

Answer: What else would obligate a person to invest effort and rise above himself? Only a dead end. Otherwise, we will remain on the same beastly level of development. But this is not the plan of nature.

We can survive in the current state for another few decades, but there is absolutely no need for this because these would be years of intense suffering, turmoil, anxiety, worry, and feelings of worthlessness, and death will seem like salvation.

If we do not make this breakthrough, the world will undergo enormous sufferings. After all, they are intended to push us to the next higher level. And if we don’t make this breakthrough, then suffering will do it for us.

Question: What good are explanations if the world still goes on its way?

Answer: No, this is not so. A program of creation exists that becomes materialized in life. Our entire evolution is described in the books of Kabbalah, beginning from the inception of the Earth billions of years ago to the present day.

Long before Darwin and other scientists and philosophers, the Kabbalists wrote that the world is evolving according to a particular program. Now, this program has arrived at the end of its physical realization.

In fact, we have chosen everything that we needed to do, so science, culture, family, and everything that a person is involved with in our world has reached a dead end. It is specifically this impasse that must push us upward.

Question: If everything was planned from the start, why should one make an effort?

Answer: It is so that we would advance forward by ourselves and rapidly attain the goal of creation through attaining wisdom, not out of necessity like beasts running away from suffering that drives them from behind. So then our ascent to the next level will be desirable and joyful.

In the News (worldcrisis.ru): “Changing the phases of development in the chain, “Archaic Tradition, Modern, Postmodern” means the transition of society to a new quality. It occurs when a new phase ripens in the depths of the old one. That is, the story is an ongoing process, just from time to time, we note that the world has a fundamentally different.

“You should also be aware that there is a change in the phase of development in the world simultaneously. Some countries – ahead of others are drawn to them. Because the lagging have only three choices: become slaves to the leaders, somehow keep up with the leaders to preserve a certain independence, throw a challenge to the leader on the basis of an alternative model of the future.

“In each country different people and social groups ‘enter’ a new phase at different times. Someone is still in the old system cost, while others – mentally. The recognition of the changes lags behind the changes. …

“Currently there is a transition from the industrial phase to the next. It is called ‘post-industrial.’ But some argue that the post-industrial phase, has already passed, and moved to another. And they bring dozens of different names for it. You could say that it is – a question of terminology. …

“The term ‘industrialization’ does not imply ambiguity. That is – most people move from rural to urban areas for mass industrial production. Regardless of whether you personally like the results of this production or not.

“What do we see today? Developed countries have destroyed their industry, and transferred production to poor countries, industrialization is not yet past. In the backward agrarian countries are unspent resources for modernization. These are people who are willing to work for pennies in the city only for the opportunity to not live in a traditional village, with its hellish work. …

“The West led the production in poor countries, leaving behind control through financial and technological superiority

“In the transition from industrialism to post-industrialism many in manufacturing will simply will not be needed. And many others require renovation. Then we have to release people from outdated industries and retrain them for a new part of the economy, and some will have to adapt to a different type of existence. The automated economy needs a few highly qualified specialists. The rest will be unemployed.

“In this scheme, financial capitalism is not working. As has been explained many times by Mikhail Khazin. You can not control the people with money, when some people work, while others receive benefits free of charge. As a consequence, there is no need to build consumer and release huge amounts of unnecessary goods. …

“This post-industrialism will come when financial capitalism is eliminated. When it collapses. Then power over people will be on the senses:  things with  cultural, religious, and  ideological significance. There will be a key factor in the change of domination – it will mean a real transition to a new phase of development. …

“Soon after the financial collapse, moderation and temperance in all things, as regards consumption will become the mainstream propaganda. People will consume only what they really need.”

My Comment: Everything fits the Kabbalistic model of the future society, with the exception of the social structure and control; there will be a society of people who are mutually connected through good relationships and the commitment to continuously improve the connections between them. In this way, they will discover the upper world between them under the leadership and guidance of the Kabbalistic method.

In the News (hi-news.ru):  “Matter and antimatter are completely mirror images of each other if we are to believe the statements of scientists who conducted studies that deepen the mystery of the inequality of matter and antimatter in the universe.

“All matter consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. These particles have analogs known as antiparticles, antiprotons, antineutrons and positrons which have the same mass but an opposite electrical charge (although neutrons and antineutrons have a neutral charge, each of them is made of quarks  which have partial electrical charge and the charge of these quarks is equal and opposite in neutrons and antineutrons).

“The known universe is composed of ordinary matter. The great mystery is why the universe isn’t made of equal parts of matter and antimatter, … And if antimatter and matter are mirror images of each other in all respects, no matter should be left at all since matter and antimatter eliminate each other when they collide.

“Theoretical physicists suspect that the unusual contrast between the amount of matter and antimatter in the universe, technically known as baryon asymmetry may be due to some differences between the properties of matter and antimatter, formally known as the CP-symmetry breaking, where C – is the charge, and P – parity. However, all the known effects that lead to the violation of CP-symmetry in, can not explain the predominance of matter over antimatter.”

My Comment: There is no attribute that is opposite from matter at the basis of antimatter, but rather an opposite desire, egoism versus altruism and attraction versus rejection. This is because these two phenomena stem from one desire to fulfill itself in the best possible way and to fill itself to become more stable, etc.

The real anti-world is found only in our anti-attributes. After al, our world is also felt only in our attributes, and if we don’t exist, neither does our world exist!  The antimatter studied by physicists is antimatter according to their definition and not real antimatter.

Question: What does it mean that the AHP of the upper falls into the GE of the lower?

Answer: AHP are vessels of receiving and GE are vessels of bestowal, Hafetz Hesed, that don’t want anything, but are satisfied with what they have. Keter, Hochma, and the upper part of Bina are only bestowal with no receiving.

It is only from the middle of Bina and downward that the thought begins of how to repay the Host, Keter, for the pleasure that He has given it. This is the reason that Bina develops vessels of receiving (Zeir Anpin and Malchut) so that it can receive in them in order to bestow.

This is the reason that there is only bestowal until the middle of Bina, and below that, receiving. The fall means that we cannot work with our receiving desires without having a Masach (screen) over them in order to bestow, and so we don’t use them. Only after we receive the Light that Reforms can the AHP rise, but only on condition that we receive an answer to the prayer (MAN) from the lower.

It turns out that we can use our desires to receive only in order to bestow unto others, unto friends or the public. We never will be able to use our AHP for our own sake in order to reach a state of greatness. What should we do that for? This simply cannot be! We can receive only according to the request of the lower.

This is the whole formula of “from the love of the creatures to the love of the Creator.” It is only because we want to receive a request from the created beings and want to bestow unto them that we have a chance to delight the Creator and feel love for Him. This is one action: the receiving of the prayer from them called “the love of the creatures,” and the request that is aimed upward for the fulfillment of this prayer called “the love of the Creator.” According to this formula, the action immediately is fulfilled.

The public gives us its deficiencies to bestow. Although they cry “give us bread!”, we must translate this request to spiritual deficiencies. At the same time, we must gradually teach people and bring them to spiritual needs. As it is written, “for they shall all know Me from their smallest to their greatest.” This means that we must teach the public that all of their deficiencies ultimately should be the desire to reach bestowal unto the Creator. Then, we will receive the right request from them and raise it upward. This means that “the love of the creatures” will connect through us to “the love of the Creator.”

This is the whole system. This is the only action by which we perform corrections. Three components are needed for this formula. The lower is the public, we are in the middle, and the upper is the Creator. Therefore, it is impossible to only study Kabbalah and perform correction. It is either together or death. A person is called Adam, one who resembles the Creator (in Hebrew). How can we resemble Him?

We must believe that the Creator is only a good and benevolent force, and this is also how we should relate to the entire world. We are the only ones who can help people reach the good, and therefore we must do that. This is the reason we receive their deficiencies and raise them upward.

Question: Many friends who are involved with similar activities chase after money, after the quantities of people. I am afraid that we also will begin to chase after quantity and not after quality.

Answer: If you are constantly with us in the lessons, then that won’t happen to you.

Thus, I am adamant that everyone, especially those who are involved with integral education for the public, must attend all of the morning lessons. It is a must!

Without that, it is not clear what they will begin to teach. They will deviate to psychology, sociology, mysticism, and who knows what else. We need to be afraid of that. Therefore, the connection with me through the lessons is essential.

Question: Two peoples live in the land of Israel: Jews and Arabs. So, it is like a time bomb that explodes once every few years. We are precisely in such an explosive period now. What must we do?

Answer: You should always do the same thing. The laws of nature don’t change, they are permanent, as it is written, “For I, the Lord, have not changed” (Malachi 3:6) as well as, “And He set them up to eternity, yea forever, He issued a decree, which will not change.” (Psalms 148:6).

We cannot change anything. You can try to run away from our task, our mission, like the prophet Jonah. But we know that he did not succeed, and he was forced to return to the city of Nineveh with the mission of the Creator to convince the inhabitants to be corrected.

So also, all of the Jewish people will not succeed in hiding from their role. It is not by chance that we read the story of the prophet, Jonah, on Yom Ha Kippurim because we must realize our destiny. The world is waiting for this. Anti-Semitism will continue to grow; problems will continue to increase.

Baal HaSulam wrote that there could be nuclear wars, a third and a fourth, and the small handful of people that survive the wars would be forced to carry out and maintain the general rule of “you shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). Everyone would be obligated to reach an integral connection in a circle.

Question: Does this mean that I must travel to an Arab village and convince its inhabitants that they must love me as themselves?

Answer: First of all, we need to convince our Jewish brothers that we need to achieve the general rule of “you shall love your neighbor as yourself”.

In the end of the Introduction to The Book of Zohar it is written that if the people of Israel maintain this law among themselves—even still without loving others, but at least uniting a bit and attaining normal relationships among them—then to this degree, the nations of the world immediately will see how the Light is streaming to them through Israel, and this indicates to us what it is to be a “Light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6, 49:6). They will begin to relate well toward us. We will see how they suddenly will change. Let’s try it. After all, it won’t cost us anything.

Let’s begin to connect and unite among us. No one ever tried to do this correctly. Let’s try! After all, our people were born precisely from this unity, from the call of Abraham who wanted to unite all of those who were interested around this principle.

From the people who joined him in ancient Babylon, Abraham created the group that over time grew and became the people of Israel. However, in principle, the people of Israel are determined by their ideology, according to the desire to be connected. Complete strangers from various peoples and small communities that lived in Babylon entered this group.
To be continued.

In the News (newscom.md): “Speaking at the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Ayed said  that the European countries rolled out the ‘red-carpet’ for the Moslem immigrants, not because they were compassionate, but because Europe desperately needs new sources of labor. …

“Today we live in times that let you see the global war on an unimaginable scale, with all the world leaders are like blind bats, helpless and powerless, and are not willing to stop the madness. Any idiot can see the coming Muslim invasion. The whole strange situation with Muslim immigrants – a tactic of war! …

“We will soon trample them under our feet in the name of Allah. …

“We will have children with them because we have to conquer their lands! …

“Ayed said that ‘whether you like it or not’ Americans, Italians, Germans and the French will have to accept the ‘refugees.’ …

“Europe is facing a demographic disaster because its citizens don’t have children anymore. …

“‘Emigrating for the sake of Allah means invading new lands in order to spread Islam there. And in Islam this is considered a very worthy act.'”

My Comment: Everything is happening exactly as it is written in the Torah about the end of days (the correction of the world). Islam will conquer the world and everyone will turn against Israel. The method of correcting the world will be revealed in order to raise the world to the level of mutual unity and the revelation of the Creator.
