Two conditions are necessary for the reception of the Torah:
– to clarify that the ego gives neither the chance nor the strength to escape its authority toward unity, revelation of the upper force, bestowal.
– we desperately want to achieve all this.
#Jewish #Israel #ego #Kabbalah
We come to the reception of the #Torah when we genuinely need the desires to bestow, and desire nothing but this.
For this we’re ready to “wander the desert, cross the Final Sea, go through all the Egyptian plagues”—as long we acquire the desires to bestow in the end.
#Jewish
The #Torah brings us to the Giver of the Torah, and this is most important as it opens a new world to man.
There’s no other path to reveal the Creator than by uniting broken desires, clarifying the form of connection and adhesion with the Creator.
#Israeli #Spiritualwork_ML
The #Torah is the upper light that clothes in our desires, which are deliberately broken, since the light’s advantage stems from darkness. The light is revealed due to the desires’ correction, to the extent that we reveal it in the contrast of qualities.
#Kabbalah #Wisdom
Man’s objective is to restore the connection between distant, broken parts, and recreate the construction made by the Creator.
Like a computer program, the #Torah organizes the development process so as to bring us to the goal. By agreeing with the great Programmer, we connect to and help with His work.
3. The #Torah is upper light, vested in our deliberately broken desires, since the advantage of the light is from the darkness. The light is revealed by correcting desires, to the extent we reveal it upon the contrast of qualities.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah #Wisdom
2. Torah is like software arranging our #development to bring us to the goal. By agreeing with the Programmer, we become part of and assist Him in the work.
Man’s mission is to restore the connection between the remote, broken parts and recreate the structure made by the Creator.
1. The #Torah is a special program of existence, a force capable of connecting all parts of reality. All elements of creation connect by countless connections in one harmony, to express the Maker Himself by the force of the desire that was created by the Creator.
I envy the friends,
Proud to be among them!
It is my hope to be like them!

Question: The Florida Senate passed a law, backed by the majority vote, allowing teachers to bear arms. Where will this lead? What if a teacher decides to start shooting?
Answer: Nothing can be done about that. There is nothing that can replace a proper upbringing. We could build a thousand more prisons, but it won’t help. The only effective thing is upbringing, and no one is doing that. It is a universal problem.
Question: What has to happen for the necessity for proper upbringing to pierce the heart like a splinter, forcing people to start doing something about it?
Answer: Only the realization that without the proper upbringing, a person only brings evil upon himself and others. It has to be realized to such an extent, taking into account how much suffering, money and everything else it costs us, that we would be ready to get re-educated.
The first requirement for correct education is the study of human nature. We have to familiarize people with it through mass media, in schools, everywhere.
Question: How can we overcome a mountain of misunderstandings?
Answer: This is the wall that stands in humanity’s way. But there is no way around it.
Question: Can the Creator suddenly change a person’s thinking?
Answer: He cannot. He has no right to! The entire creation would be meaningless. There is a method of correction inside you—act on it. If you do not search for it yourself, seriously realize it within yourself, and adjust yourself and society, you will not achieve the next educational level.
A person has to understand that if he does not change, neither he nor the world will have a good future, and life will be full of suffering for his children and everyone else.

Question: The outside world puts the modern person into a state of constant stress. How do you cope with it?
Answer: I cannot imagine what constant stress is because everything that occurs I connect with the Creator. What kind of stress can there be if we are in His power, in His constant influence on us? We need nothing more than to relax and swim with the current of His action upon us.
I recommend regularly reading articles by Baal HaSulam and Rabash. They will quickly remove all stress from you. You will understand that the world is ruled by one benevolent power and all we need is to be in constant connection with it, to bring everything to the Creator.

New Life 990 – The Circle Of Life, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to attain a spiritual life through the language of roots and branches. What happens in the spiritual root is copied in the physical branch. The process of embryonic development, for example, is a copy of the process of spiritual conception in which there is an integration of the power of bestowal and the power of reception. All life is created by merging these two powers into a single body called a soul.

The common soul that was one and connected was divided into many parts after the shattering; we need to assemble and connect these parts in order to reveal the Creator through them.
The difference between the original vessel and the one reconstructed after the shattering is that the shattering revealed new qualities that previously were not apparent. It is because of them that the soul shattered, and through their correction additional qualities of the Light are revealed against these broken desires. And in this way we scrutinize the internality of the Creator that created this soul and corrects with His Light.
If not for the shattering and correction, we would not feel more than the first man, Adam, felt before the sin, meaning just a state of smallness (Katnut) Nefesh/Ruach de Ruach. And after the shattering and the correction, we reveal the complete Light of NRNHY, that is, we adhere to the Creator Himself, reach equivalence of form with Him, understand His way and wisdom embedded in the creation.
Therefore, it is impossible to avoid the shattering and the correction. The end of correction is a point initially included in the plan of creation.
The soul has to correct itself according to the entire system of creation that includes in itself all the worlds of Adam Kadmon and ABYA. The soul is the most internal part of the entire system of creation, therefore, through our correction it must acquire the same form as all the upper worlds, consisting of three parts: head-body-extremities (Rosh-Toch-Sof), then of three lines, and a large number of complex forms.
When they connect together, the differences do not disappear because “love covers all transgressions.” The corrected soul keeps the whole great egoism within itself, all the immense desires and contradictions. Everything that existed before is preserved, nothing is erased. Even, on the contrary, negative manifestations help us reveal the Light, the advantage of which is revealed from the darkness.
There is a great work ahead of us; after all, Adam had no head, body, and extremities—there was simply one body positioned on one level that was filled with the Light of Hassadim. He was born circumcised like an angel, in the state of smallness (Katnut). An infant has no intelligence and cannot stand but can only lie down, that is, his head is on the same level with the body.
And we need to place this broken soul on its feet, in the upright position of a person. Therefore, in our work, we select parts of the soul that belong to the head and the body and we clarify the role of each of them. All the parts of the soul after the shattering are already prepared for correction, but we have to invite the upper Light, find out the locations of breakage, and correct them.
Those who will be drawn to spiritual work will be called the head of Adam, the common soul. And the rest are parts of his body. That is why Israel, meaning “those who yearn straight to the Creator,” are called “My head” (Li-Rosh).
Chosen to Work Without a Reward
The virtuous people are those who work in three lines, are in the head of the soul, and can perform scrutinies and corrections by passing the Light through themselves to the broken desires so that they become corrected, connected, and joined to it, thus creating a complete Partzuf.
We need to agree to be the virtuous people because there is no coercion in spirituality. Therefore, we will get blows from above until we give our consent to do this work, and we should agree wholeheartedly. Through the blows we begin to understand what is good and what is bad for us and therefore we agree.
To be a high priest (Kohen) means not to receive any reward for one’s work: he corrects the entire world and brings everyone closer to the Creator so that everybody is connected to Him and filled with the Light of infinity, and he gets nothing for it. This is called work of a high priest, Kohen.
The Kohen does not have any land, any estate, only pure work for the Creator from which nothing is left for him. His reward is only in having strength for the work in order to continue working and giving contentment to the Creator. This is the pure bestowal.
Each person in the world in whom the Creator awakened a spiritual spark belongs to the virtuous people and must work for the correction of the world. Due to the fact that we connect with each other and come to “Love your neighbor as yourself,” we come to the love for the Creator, and we must pull humanity after us. This is our mission; after all, we have received a desire for this work and there is no choice—we have to realize this desire.
The world is divided into those to whom the Creator gave this desire and to whom He did not give it. Why this desire is given to us, we do not know. It will become clear later, but it will not be important because all who fulfill their mission are absolutely equal—everything rounds up into a circle and each one attains all the degrees up to the height of our forefather Moses.1

We can never truly unite our desires and our intentions. We can connect only within the Creator. There we interconnect and become a ten. That is why it is necessary to constantly speak about the greatness of the Creator, without Whom we will not complete our construction of the ten. We can talk endlessly about unity, but nothing will happen.
The end of the action must already be laid in the initial thought, that is, in adhesion with the Creator; therefore, it must be involved in the beginning of each action.1
