#Spiritualwork_ML Fear is necessary! It pushes me! I cannot be rid of it! I can only replace egoistic #fear to altruistic: the fear of not bestowing contentment to the Creator (Yira’a). Only then will fear for myself disappear. Thus the Creator compels us to escape the ego.

#Creator evokes in me a picture of a corrupted world. I ask for correction. The Creator corrects my qualities to those similar to His. I see He fills the whole world. Then he reveals in me a new corrupted quality and once more I see a dark world… Thus I attain #Creator’s_Work

#PROGNOSES_ML 2013: In the future, he who carries out integral education among the people will lead. Thus the state will come to equivalence with nature and enter a sphere of congruence with its forces. #leadership #politics #Educational

#Spiritualwork_ML The Creator made the end state, & from it builds the initial one & each step toward the end goal. Each state is determined by the end one that we must attain. Thus we must regard everything, by exerting in “faith above reason”–the end state above the present.

#Creator’s_Revelation. We have no contact w/ upper force. What is revealed is called “Creator” (Bore) from words Bo-Re – “come and see.” As a result of exerting to unite in a group, we build the form Bo-Re inside us–and attain it. That is, the entire spiritual work is btwn us.

#Attaining_reality. There’s no outside world. We have 4 levels of desires: still, vegetative, animate, human. We sense them against the background of white light (Creator). Kabbalah teaches us to grow closer by the intention to “bestow” w/ the white light till we dissolve in Him

The #Creator stirs us toward development. If we don’t follow, it reverses. If Poland’s Jews had listened to Baal HaSulam and moved to Israel they would’ve survived. If Israeli govt were to institute his educational method we’d be celebrating the 70th anniversary in a new country.

#Kabbalah Our nature is the will to enjoy. The intention (for myself = #ego, for others = altruism) depends on the person. Changing the intention is #spiritual_advancement. This is the work. Don’t confuse it with physical actions where the intention (for me/you) isn’t changed.

Last Friday I had a warm meeting with the new students from the Kabbalah L’Am academy who came in from many cities throughout Israel. I discovered a new level of readiness. I liked their serious, high-level questions. Good luck, my dears! Together! #kabbalah #Israel

Worlds exist if one creates them from corrected desires. A spiritual degree is revealed: pure & impure worlds of ABYA, and the soul inside them. The worlds surround the soul, sustain it, form an environment. The impure worlds pertain to the Creator, stirring us toward correction.

#Truth. One sees the world through one’s qualities. As qualities change so does the world. One sees one’s reflected qualities in everything around. Escaping this is only by the quality of bestowal. “Don’t judge others ’til you’ve walked in their shoes”-otherwise you see yourself

As soon as the 10 makes a connection- minimal equivalence to the upper light, it is revealed in this #connection. The Creator is revealed in it. There’s no other way! And the Creator’s concealment is felt in the 10, in the absence of connection, as preparation for a new state.

On the way to revealing the Upper World/Creator, many problems arise–so as to fathom the qualities of love/bestowal from the ego’s qualities. It is a science: #Kabbalah. Learning spiritual ascents via descents: “there was evening, & there was morning,” understanding & attainment

Question: How does Kabbalah relate to a healthy lifestyle?

Answer: Kabbalah refers to health very simply, practically and mundanely. It says: “If you have a healthy spirit, then you will also have a healthy body.” After all, the body is a continuation of the spirit. However, this is the ideal.

This is not easy because the single spirit, the single soul, connects us to each other. As long as humanity is in a broken state, even the greatest Kabbalist connected with the entire world by bestowal and love, nevertheless, will also be sick and suffer since the “common body” of humanity is struck with egoism.

Question: Must we acquire spiritual senses to read The Book of Zohar or is The Book of Zohar what shapes the spiritual senses?

Answer: It is both this and that. The Book of Zohar shapes and develops spiritual senses, and simultaneously explains what the person perceives.

Question: Is it worthwhile reading The Book of Zohar independently? Is this liable to be harmful?

Answer: No, this will not be harmful and there is no need to be afraid. You can listen to The Book of Zohar lessons that we broadcast regularly.

Question: What does my ability to perceive depend on?

Answer: Your perception ability depends on the degree to which your senses expand.

Question: Does contempt for the opportunity of developing through the power of The Book of Zohar lead to the development through the painful way of suffering?

Answer: Development is not necessary through The Book of Zohar; development happens through studying Kabbalah, and The Zohar is one of the Kabbalah books that helps a person discover a perception of the upper world.

Question: Is it enough for me to read The Book of Zohar regularly to achieve true happiness?

Answer: No, the main thing is for you to be in a group. In this way you will expand your perception and and begin to feel the upper world through the group.

Question: Can The Book of Zohar reveal and show me the connections between people in this world at the level of the upper world, which governs their destiny?

Answer: Yes, but this again is in a group. The connection between friends creates a sense of a higher state in a person in which he perceives forces and characteristics of the upper world that are revealed in a group.

Question: What is the most important thing in The Book of Zohar? Is it its origin or the content itself?

Answer: The most important thing in The Book of Zohar is the upper Light, which descends on a person through its proper use.

Question: Have all the texts of The Book of Zohar been deciphered?

Answer: Yes, absolutely all of them have been deciphered. None of the text in The Book of Zohar speaks directly about what a person reads; the meaning is allegorically concealed in its words.

Question: When I read The Book of Zohar, answers to questions are revealed to me, but then additional questions appear and my mind becomes chaotic. Should I try to make order of this or simply turn off my intellect and let The Book organize everything itself?

Answer: You will not be able to do anything with what you got from reading. The best thing is to start studying correctly.

Question: When the ten works together, does the effect occur when at least one member thinks about the other nine or when the entire ten simultaneously does the same thing?

Answer: It is enough for just a few to be thinking about the others at any given time, and those few periodically rotate with each taking their turn. They are reminded of this from above since everything happens not because they want it to happen, but because they are controlled by the upper system of control, and they are rearranged among themselves in constant intention toward their personal connection and unity with the upper force.

They control absolutely nothing; they are just trying to think about the ten. They only need to awaken each other to the greatness of this controlling force and their ability to affect it together.

Question: On one hand, you talk about faith above reason. On the other, in Kabbalah there is no faith at all, only attainment. What does this mean?

Answer: Faith above reason is attainment. Faith is the quality of bestowal, the quality of Bina. Bestowal above egoism is called faith above reason. By meeting this condition an individual discovers the upper world for himself.

What has already been done in our world to corrupt the understanding of faith cannot be changed. In our world everything is corrupt.

Only the individual who has risen to the level of the quality of bestowal can be said to have faith.

Question: Do you know which professions will disappear?

Answer: Alot of them. Practically all of them.

Question: They write that there will be taxis without drivers, hotels will be booked online, and editors and writers will also disappear because a computer robot has already won a literary contest.

It has been established that the accuracy of a computer lawyer is 90%, and that of a human being—70%; the IBM Watson device diagnoses cancer four times better than any doctor; solar energy will become so widely used and cheap in the future that the entire coal industry will shut down, and so on.

Israeli writer Yuval Noah Harari in his popular book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow warns that as a result, humanity could split into two subspecies. The first would be so-called pagan gods, the owners of artificial intelligence and super specialists, and the second, all the rest. And the rest can become entire countries and continents.

Do you really think humanity will break into these two subspecies?

Answer: In the process of achieving this state, both groups will, of course, be very different from one another: some will be engaged in programming and the invention of all these machines and others will passively consume because nobody needs them.

They are just a mass of protein that will also be fed special substances that lower their desire to reproduce and everything else. They will become like “vegetables,” not people. And those who will create the technologies will command them. But this is not the end of the problem, not like a Hollywood movie, because in addition, there is still the upper management and the goal.

Humanity does not exist by itself, separately. We see it in nature and everywhere: the ultimate goal must already be determined and it governs all phases and steps of development. So it will not turn out that everything will stop, as conceived by this clever man.

Everything will be different. People will undergo significant internal changes; they will understand that they are killing themselves in this way. And it is not the same as if we kill ourselves in this world when we want to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

In fact, people will gradually discover the highest form of existence that we can transfer to absolutely smoothly from our life. One can simply ascend to the next level, which is eternal, perfect, and infinite. This will be gradually revealed to people and then they will make necessary changes to adapt to the new level of existence.

Question: What do you think, who will be the first to reveal it: the leaders or the rest of people?

Answer: I think that leaders will not reveal this because they, in fact, are very narrow-minded people. They are tech savvy. They are only interested in how to create machines that will be subordinated to them.

People who report to them are those who suffer and they will begin to feel everything. It is impossible to crush this feeling! This is nature! And it does not matter how much you feed it drugs and use other means to calm it down or put it to sleep, it will not help.

As a result, a very interesting inner revolution will take place in people, and from this point they will come to the next level.
