Creation is a desire, a simple desire to live, to exist, a constant force. However, there is another desire that has to do with striving to achieve something, pulling me off my seat and not giving me rest. We are always lacking this kind of drive. We would like it to be as big as possible, but the question is how to awaken such a targeted drive that pushes and entices us toward a goal?
Within such a desire, there is a power that let us sacrifice a lot in order to achieve a goal, overcome all the obstacles on the way, scrutinize them, sort them out, and transform them from disturbances into help. This desire is what builds a person. Without this, a person is dead.
Naturally, the desire is in the hands of the Creator because He is the one who created it—both good and evil. But in every state: in ups and downs, in disappointment, in aspiration, we must look for how to awaken the Creator so that He would awaken us. The whole study of the science of Kabbalah is about how to awaken this mechanism of the upper system, called the Creator, so that He starts working with us, selectively and purposefully.
As a result, the Creator changes our desire. There are two desires: the desire to enjoy and the desire to give, the left and the right line, one against the other, and both of them are in the hands of the Creator. And both of them are handed over to a person if he has reached the degree about which it is said: “My sons have defeated me.” The main thing is to know how to awaken the higher force, the Creator, so that He will take care of our awakening.
The Creator puts us through different states so that we can clarify our desires, deal with them, He gives us reason and feelings, gives us the environment and all the necessary means. In the end, everything comes from Him. And as far as we get involved in this work in His spiritual kitchen where He prepares the right tool for us to attain the purpose of creation, that is how far we will advance and achieve success.1
Desire is a magical word that opens all the locks on our path. It is the only key that can open them.2
No matter how hard we try to imagine that we think about the Creator without any connection to ourselves, we will not be able to completely break away from our self-interest and expect nothing from Him. Perhaps we are willing to do everything, but only so to get at least something from Him in return. Otherwise, it is impossible without this thin pipeline stretched from Him to us. We are ready to give everything, our whole lives, just to get something from Him through this thin capillary.3
The only question is, what exactly do I receive from the Creator through this pipeline: the forces of bestowal or the forces of reception?4

Question: Are spiritual and material events orchestrated in advance and occur as a pre-directed scenario of life?
Answer: Of course. That is how they come out. Are we the ones that make them happen? The world appears to us in its new forms, and we have to learn to understand them, attain them, associate ourselves with them, and as such progress.
At every moment you are presented with a certain picture of the world, you have to adapt to it, understand it, connect with it, and try to make it better. The way you understand the surrounding world is what determines your advancement.
In principle, each time you should see the world as a manifestation of the Creator. Can you imagine how flawed we must be to see the world around us as full of terrible things, depression, and awful tensions?
Question: Let’s say something is revealed to us. What should be my first reaction? Should I say “there’s none else besides Him”?
Answer: First of all, you have to understand that the Creator is the upper force that determines, acts, and fills everything. What this force is showing you is perfection, but you distort this picture to the degree of your corruptness by seeing it without the “glasses,” through the lens of your egoism.
Question: So, do I have to justify everything?
Answer: Not just justify, but to see and feel this perfection. You then have to adhere to Him in such a way that through this attainment, through the correction of corruptness to the level of perfection, you will unite with the Creator. On one side of the screen there is you, and on the other, Him.
Question: And if I see that I cannot attribute this force to “none else besides Him,” that I can’t justify it?
Answer: You have an opportunity to pray, to ask Him to correct you so that you will see the world as perfect.
But if you want this in order to feel good, you will not get anything. If, however, you want to see the world as perfect in order to not curse the Creator because it brings you pain, then you will receive. You are asking the Creator to give you the power to see Him the way He is: good that does good.

New Life #130 – Heart to Heart Communication
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
Summary
We are evolving toward one spiritual, internal language of the heart. Like Hebrew, this language is built on a good connection between people and it unites our desires. Speech and language have developed in order to serve the human ego. Our egoistic nature does not let us connect to each other unless our own interests are served. We decode everything subjectively and cannot perceive anything objectively. We do not even see our own children as they truly are.
The further away we draw from each other, the richer language we need. Conversely, the more the means of communication has developed, the more distant we become from each other and the more we cheat and confuse one another. In order to understand another, I have to feel his or her heart like my own and build his or her schema inside of me. We must reveal the human point within each of us, connect all of these points and together learn to communicate heart to heart above the rejection and hatred.

The last few days I am getting inquiries why my Twitter is empty… In past tweets, I described a variety of states that precede entry into spiritual sensations. Have you gone through, understood, attained them? View my past tweets (about spiritual states) ….
—you will discover them again.
If I don’t demand the friends’ help against my ego, I won’t plug into the group. But even after having plugged into the friends, I’ll lose the desire to unite once more, after which, while with them, I will be drawn into the group again. Such states are indicative of advancement,
… as in “Joseph & his brothers.”
The Creator always guides to Himself. A person should rejoice in the Creator’s governance, even in falls. Trust that they are from the Creator as well, to become closer to Him. Therefore, rise from the falls, believing that such is the Creator’s desire.
This will reveal rapprochement with the Creator, coming from the Creator.
In nature, there’s both plus and minus; it contains all the opposites. And they’re always kept in balance by nature, which doesn’t allow them to annihilate each other, but creates a system of interaction between them—the middle line. It manifests itself from above;
… we build it by studying #Kabbalah .
They write: you can enter the #EU, but you can’t exit! It’s true. Movement toward unity happens in all of nature. On the still, vegetative and animate degrees it submits to nature’s laws. But on the Human degree, man must be raised above the animate degree in him … #Brexit
… and then taught development.
The world has always blamed the #Jews for all its troubles, regardless of how developed it was. So today: if we don’t explain to the world why it needs us, it won’t stop asserting that we bring harm upon the world. Nature pushes us to correct ourselves and the world.
Time is always against us!
If we don’t make ourselves important to the world, it will make us important for its hatred of us. #Jews
The sons of Israel were made responsible for mankind’s correction by the Creator’s force, “For the whole earth is Mine. And you will be upon Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Everything depends on the sons of Israel. When they correct themselves …
… all the nations strive after them (Sfat Emet, Shmot, Itro) And vice versa!
#Israel will be the first to receive abundance. From them it spreads to all the nations. Hence they are called Israel, Li-Rosh, My-Head (Be’er Maim Haim, Truma 25).
This is the reason for #Antisemitism. We do not receive from above and pass to other nations the upper abundance …
… which is what they blame us for.
Some write that the #EU is an invention of the Jews, the Rothschilds. True, connection between nations, trade and movement have always been close to the Jews, who had one language and lifestyle. But in order for this to happen in the EU, people must be brought closer through …
… upbringing rather than by simply removing the boundaries.
If you change, the world will change. Don’t demand for the world to change if you don’t change yourself. Improve yourself and everything will change.
The world depends only on the change in a person, not on changing others. You will discover that they don’t even need to change.
The whole world is in full correction!
All faults are corrected by love. Nobody is correct among leftists and rightists, whites and people of color, males and females, etc.— it is necessary to UNITE all above all differences—according to the teaching of Kabbalah! Otherwise, replacing the #liberals with the #conservatives …
… you’re switching from one dictatorship to another, and neither will make you happy!

Question: How can I feel that the Creator is my partner in spiritual work?
Answer: I have to accept it a priori, and thus, appeal to Him. And then I will see that He responds immediately to my requests. The Creator is not a living person, but a system that responds to my correct requests.
And my requests are correct only if I take from Him what the world needs and selflessly pass it onto the whole Kli (soul/vessel) through myself. And each of us should do the same.
In essence, I want to become a conductor from Him to the world and from the world to Him. For this, I have to suffer all the sufferings of the world and form them in myself correctly so that all of them will be aimed at uniting with Him.
I re-register in myself all the egoistic desires of the world, envelop them with the intention for the sake of the Creator, and appeal to Him. And then I receive certain properties and knowledge from Him, and I can, by reforming them, give them to the world in such a way that the world will advance a little more through its egoism to the Creator.

Question: If there is no one else besides the Creator, then who am I and where am I?
Answer: You do not exist. You need to reach a state where there is no difference between you and the Creator and you absolutely do not feel that you have your own “I.” You merge with Him in thoughts, desires, and actions.
Question: Does the Creator also not have His “I”?
Answer: The Creator has no idea of His “I” since this is the only existing, initially eternal power, which is beyond time, space, and movement. Therefore, there are no such questions about the Creator because we cannot imagine in which coordinates He exists.

Question: Why does the Creator give me the sensation that my thoughts are my thoughts and my desires are my desires?
Answer: He does it in order for you to reveal that He is the source of all your thoughts and desires, both bad and good, all your actions, all that happens to you, around you, and outside of you.
While experiencing different thoughts, you consider them your own, but they are not yours.
Often a person catches himself realizing that these are not his thoughts. But where did they come from? Did they soar somewhere in the clouds and now landed in his head? Or he says: “No, I did not think so. Oh, I did not mean to say that.”
He in a way controls himself and sees that something wrong is happening with him. These are problems of our individuality and how we position ourselves.
