Question: One of the principles for attaining higher power is the principle: “From your deeds we shall know You” (Shir HaYichud). How does one use that?

Answer: “From your deeds we shall know You” means that I need to acquire the deeds of the Creator through what He does to me.

The deeds of the Creator are everything that happens around me and within me. In these deeds, I must discover the Creator as the one who manages everything.

Torah, Deuteronomy 28:11: And the Lord will grant you good surplus in the fruit of your womb, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil, on the land which the Lord swore to your forefathers, to give you.

All the egoistic desire that arise within you now is called the land of Israel. It does not arise in ordinary people; they do not reach these huge, extremely egoistic, and antagonistic desires. And you will begin to feel them. This is called the entrance to the land of Israel.

You process these desires; that is, you subjugate them to your intention of bestowal and love, and thus you receive blessing in your country.

It is written, “And the Lord will grant you good surplus in the fruit of your womb.” Surplus means the revelation of the Light of Hochma. In the desert, before the entrance to the land of Israel, the Light of Hassadim was revealed and now the Light of Hochma is revealed, due to which birth and development take place.

The Light of Hassadim just holds you in a steady state of expectation. However, we need to develop it too because the Light of Hochma dresses into it. Therefore, as soon as the Light of Hochma begins approaching, immediately there is a need for the Light of Hassadim. After all, without it the Light of Hochma is like a sharp knife or fire that destroys everything. These are called Dinim, the qualities of judgment.

Question: Does it mean that everything that happens today in the world is a consequence of the deficiency of the Light of Hassadim?

Answer: Yes. Huge, egoistic desire appears. Above it is the Light of Hochma that must enter this desire. However, the space that the Light of Hassadim must fill is empty. We need to attract the Light of Hassadim, and we can only do this if we will relate to each other correctly.

If we reach the Light of Hassadim, then grace will pour out into the entire world.

Question: Can a Kabbalah convention change anything in our world? Does it have an impact on the world?

Answer: A convention undoubtedly has a positive impact on the world. After all, we exist in this world and the upper Light is conveyed through us to our world as well.

One may be diligent, but no person shall enjoy the society more than the backward. There will be an equal standard of living for all. (Baal HaSulam, The Last Generation)

This is natural. If we are talking about a perfect society, then obviously everyone receives according to their needs.

We all differ both in our spiritual and corporeal attainment: you need one thing for your life, and I need another. That is why everyone should receive whatever they require according to their spiritual or physiological background. No more. No one can argue with that because everything stems from the upper root.

Question: Can a person be happy receiving less than another?

Answer: Why not? Everyone would limit themselves in their demands, but would try to exceed as much as possible in what they give because that is the way they attain the common soul and the Creator within it.

The last generation goes through different stages, but eventually it will have to reach a state where people, from the endlessly large supply, would decide themselves what is necessary for them because they will not feel the desire for anything else.

Question: And this is how they would derive their joy? Meaning, the enjoyment they will receive, is it from the connection with the Creator?

Answer: That is the root of all joy; therefore, it exceeds everything else.

Great things happen to those who don’t stop believing, trying, learning, and being grateful. Roy T. Bennett #MondayMotivation #quote

#Av 15. Adam’s soul breaking resulted in hatred among its parts and all global problems. Reuniting them brings happiness, love, serenity.

#Jewish #Israel All in one day, from the most problematic date for Israel, 9 of Av, to the day of perfection, love and unity—#TubeAv

#LIFE is a picture that you sense in the present, in which you “live,” like in a film that you cannot escape. If you want it, ask for it!

#People are forces that must learn how to connect. The connection between them already exists—all that’s left is to reveal it!

“Man, Woman, and the Creator between them.” He sows discord between them so they can reveal Him and grow closer together. #relationships

Tu B’Av is a celebration of #love—built above hatred, above the ruin of the Temple of love, to reach complete love despite the hatred.

Question: Are intelligent life forms, different from humans, like dolphins, elephants, and so forth, able to feel the higher force, the Creator?

Answer: No, they cannot. These are not intelligent life forms; rather, they have an instinctive form of existence. Does a person in our world act in an intelligent life way? A person in our world acts purely according to natural instincts, no different from animals.

Question: Why is a person always offended by hearing those words?

Answer: It is because the words belittle him to the level of a beast. A person thinks that he is on a higher level, above the level of a beast, but he acts worse than animals do. There is no part of creation that harms all of nature, himself, and those around him, like a human does.

Question: Is the notion of time subjective or objective?

Answer: Time exists only in our internal perception; there is no time in spirituality.

In spirituality time is perceived as the number of states one passed through. If I have not exerted toward any spiritual development since this moment, I have not lived this year and I have zero time.
