What Is Our Strength, Brother?

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: What does it mean to be strong today?

Answer: It means to be united. Nothing else! If we unite, then the Creator is with us.

Comment: You always have one answer.

My Response: Yes. We do not need anything else.

Question: What is unity? What do you mean by that word?

Answer: Unity is when everyone feels that they are for others and all are for one. There can be no slacking here. We should just stick together.

Question: On the one hand, you are saying what we have been saying since childhood. Remember the Three Musketeers? “One for all, all for one!” We really believed in this, loved this very much, and wanted to live like this. Where did all this disappear to later?

Answer: This disappeared because life pushed us to other values—everyone for himself and it does not matter how the others are. But now we are being taught, very seriously taught.

Question: Can this change only happen as a result of such teaching?

Answer: Of course. Otherwise, the Creator would not have given it to us.

Question: What is our move now? He made a move, a difficult, tragic one. What is our move?

Answer: Our move now is only to connect with each other and advance on the enemy.

In One Heart

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: After the pandemic and especially after the convention, we again felt the physical strength in our connection.

But now, when we need a greater desire for unity, we again have returned to virtual communication. How can we create a great desire for connection in a virtual way?

Answer: This is even easier than being together physically. Now we can think precisely about a virtual connection that is not within the framework of some physical relationship. We ask the Creator to connect us precisely in one desire, in one heart.

The Eternal System

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: You said that we must form an eternal system between the Creator and the evil inclination. What is this eternal system?

Answer: The eternal system means that we create a certain connection scheme between egoism and altruism, between hatred and love, where we have no misunderstandings or inconsistencies and everything that is in each one flows into everyone and forms a common system.

Just like in our world, we sometimes create systems from many sources that we combine together for mutual work. This is the eternal system.

Like In a Magnifying Glass

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: Is it correct to look at what is happening in the world and at the latest conflict currently taking place in Israel as if the Creator has increased the resolution like with a microscope and is showing me my attitude to the ten?

Answer: Yes. Each time the Creator increases the resolution, and thus we see past problems on an enlarged scale.

Question: What is colliding with what in my attitude to the ten?

Answer: There is a collision of your personal egoism with the force of bestowal and connection that is in the ten. These are the two forces that contradict each other.

Sprout the Seed of Bestowal in the Nations

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: Wherever Jews were expelled from, countries fell, culture, economy and everything else immediately declined. How should the peoples of the world understand that only by following Israel can one come to harmony and knowledge of the Creator? How should they help the people of Israel?

Answer: They do not really need to help. They should just learn. See what is happening to many countries. Let us hope that everything will be fine, that everyone will come to the final correction of their egoism and understand that the main thing is good and kind connections.

Question: Then why are the people of Israel so divided?

Answer: Because they are in an even worse state than the peoples of the world. Jews have no idea they should be united.

Question: But the Creator scattered them everywhere. There is not a single country in the world without Jews. Why did the Creator scatter them all over the world? Is it to gather them together again or so they will feel their destiny?

Answer: It is so that they all gather together, but before that, it is to plant a seed in every nation they are currently exiled in. They have to plant this seed there so it can sprout.

Question: Is that why Rabbi Akiva was happy when the Second Temple was being destroyed?

Answer: Of course.

So that Only the Creator Appears before You

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: What is the state when all of person’s thoughts are about the Creator?

Answer: This is a state when a person fully identifies himself with the nature in which we all exist. There is nothing but one force of nature that gradually convinces us that it is the only one that exists.

Therefore, in order for us to be precisely aimed at it, this nature, that is, the Creator, creates a force opposite to itself as if playing with us by supposedly having other forces. And we must constantly keep ourselves directed at the single force of creation—the Creator.

Question: When there is the force of the Creator and the force of egoism opposing the Creator, can one somehow be in touch with the Creator in this state. It is frightening when, without any confrontation, the connection with Him is blurred and you are in some kind of worries and engagements, forgetting that He exists. How can we nonetheless make sure that literally all thoughts are about the Creator and everything will be connected with Him?

Answer: In principle, this is our work. We must always direct ourselves to this single, unique force, the Creator, who governs everything, does everything, and organizes all our thoughts and desires.

Question: Is there such a state when a person does not lose contact with the Creator and is in touch with Him all the time in any thought, in any desire?

Answer: This is already full governance. When a person reaches the full governance of the Creator, then he is in a state of limitless unification with Him (Dvekut). But this must be achieved by gradually building in yourself all your systems in knowledge, feelings, and definitions so that only the Creator appears before you.

Question: When we leave the lesson, how can we not forget about the Creator and connect every thought with Him?

Answer: To attune yourself to the Creator you must constantly, every minute, imagine that you are controlled by Him. He governs you completely. No thoughts, feelings, desires, nothing, in you happens on its own, they come only from the fact that the Creator is within you.

Actually, it is so, but you have to unite with it. Uniting with the force of the Creator that is within you is our task—gradually, gradually reveal Him in us to the extent that you will not feel anything but Him.

The Essence of the Prayer

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: Suppose we discover that we have a disease of distancing from the Creator. We know that unification will cure us of this disease. What should the essence of the prayer be? Should we ask for unification so that the disease will go away? Or should we simply ask for unification without telling the Creator what problem we want to be healed from?

Answer: We must ask for unification and ask for rapprochement. As a consequence of this, some problems will go away, and perhaps others will arise at a higher level. But this way we will move forward.

Question: Should we include the name of the disease in the prayer?

Answer: No, we cannot determine the name.

Question: So if there is a war, then should we simply ask for unification without mentioning in the prayer that we are asking for rapprochement so that the Creator will save us from war?

Answer: No, when things like war happen, we can ask by naming the problem and asking for salvation from it.

Prayer for the Many

Posted on October 27th, 2023

Question: It feels like the Creator is constantly giving us a reason to connect. As soon as we feel that we are no longer able to cope by ourselves, a special prayer is born—a prayer for the many. What else can we do to transfer and convey it to society as much as possible?

Answer: Nothing. This is enough. If we pray for the many, for them to be connected and aimed at the Creator, then nothing else is needed.

It is possible to convey this to the outside world only through your heart.
