Question: In Rabash’s article “What Is, “Rise Up, O Lord, and Let Your Enemies Be Scattered,” in the Work” it says that Torah gives a person medicine. What medicine does the Torah give in our group work?
Answer: You get a small illumination, a little upper light, and you begin to better understand where you are. And so you advance.
Question: How do we turn Torah into the light of life rather than a poisonous potion?
Answer: It depends only on our intention. If we want our turning to the Creator to elicit a corresponding reaction from Him, we must unite and ask Him for only one thing—to draw us closer to Him.

From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 10/21/23, Writing of Rabash “What Is, “Rise Up, O Lord, and Let Your Enemies Be Scattered,” in the Work?“

Question: It is written in Baal HaSulam’s article “The Eighteen Prayer” that there is a commandment to pray for suffering. How can we do this correctly?
Answer: By suffering we mean a lack of connection with the Creator, with friends, with all of humanity. Praying for suffering correctly means that I am not asking the Creator to take it back, I am not asking not to cause it in me.
Through suffering He reminds me that I am not corrected. Therefore, I ask Him to correct me, and then, to the extent that I am corrected, I will begin to feel the world differently.
Question: What does a Kabbalist suffer from?
Answer: The Kabbalist suffers from the fact that he wants to love more, but is not yet able to. The point is that there is a limit to the extent his heart is in the intention of bestowal. I want more, but I do not have the strength yet.
Question: What do we pray for when the Creator already cancels suffering?
Answer: We pray that we correct ourselves and treat each other with love, and then the suffering itself will disappear.

Comment: You said that it does not matter what material you are given. For example, someone wrote something for you, and it is through the intention that you put power into this text.
My Response: Indeed, I do not care what kind of material. Who cares?
Let’s say we are in a forest. You tell me about a stump, another person tells me about a bird, a third about a flower, a fourth found a mushroom somewhere, and so on. You are trying to tell me or to pull a picture of the forest out of me. So, what difference does it make to me where you start?
After all, I want to tell you about that path in the forest that leads us to the hut on chicken legs. Therefore, no matter what you tell me, I will still transform this information in a way that it is useful for you, and you will be able to correctly navigate the forest.
Question: What I mean is that you put intention into the text. What is “intention” in this case?
Answer: It is very simple! You have a small desire—to find your way in the upper world in which you are practically not present, but your point exists there, i.e., your small desire is there.
If it is not present, then you will sit and listen to me like a cat who supposedly listens to a symphony orchestra playing. And if you have a point in the heart, the rudiment of your next external organ of sensation, then through my sensation of the upper world I include you in myself like a little baby. And you begin to receive some fulfillment, some vibrations that come to you through me.
Actually, you do not even receive them because you cannot have them since there is nothing to receive them in, but they begin to work around you, wash you like waves wash a stone on the shore, roll you around. You begin to gradually change. It seems to you that you are getting fulfilled, that you are changing, that you are beginning to imagine something. This is how you get new sensations.

Comment: Oksana asks “I am Ukrainian, my husband is Russian. We managed to withstand this terrible time. We moved to Georgia, we live here. Everything is fine, and we love each other. But still, I am Ukrainian, and he is Russian. I see that there is no getting away from it. We still have parents and friends there.
How do we build a warm and loving family? How can we talk openly with each other about all the problems and whether it is necessary to open up to each other? My question to you, Michael Laitman: is it possible to love, just love, no matter what? Or will my pain for the relatives and friends who stayed there win over our love?”
My Response: This is a problem. They cannot break away from their roots. What has been done now between Russians and Ukrainians is, of course…
Question: A wall for years?
Answer: Not for years! I do not think years can correct this. It will just have to be corrected by all the people in the world. To destroy absolutely all the partitions that exist between us all. Not just between Ukrainians and Russians, also between others, and so on. It all depends, first of all, on the Jews.
Comment: Here we go again.
My Response: Your reaction, “Here we go again” is the biggest mistake of the Jews, first of all, and all other nations in the world.
It is necessary to make the Jews realize that they make the world’s climate, the weather, and that the correct relationship of all the nations of the world depends on them, on their correct behavior with each other.
Through us, a blessing comes to the nations of the world. We must understand this, recognize it, and realize such connections between us that will create people who are simply loving, showing kindness, love, interconnection, and mutual assistance to each other in all of the world’s population.
If the Jews do this, everyone will be fine, including the Jews. If they do not do this, and we are already late with this correction, then the world will be worsening against them in the first place, and eventually lead them through suffering to the implementation of this project.
Comment: You have taken a personal question that Oksana asked: “Is it possible to love, just love, no matter what?” and spread it to the international level, to the world.
My Response: To the world level, yes. There are no personal questions! What personal questions can there be?
Question: Does it mean that there will be no true love there if there is no correction here?
Answer: Yes. The Creator will lead everyone to realize that the lack of love between people will not allow anyone to feel at least some satisfaction from their existence.
Question: But would it be possible to give some advice to Oksana?
Answer: No! No private advice, such a calm one as “Understand each other” and so on. No, no!
Comment: Melt into him.
My Response: No and no. It will work out, maybe for a short time. If at all!
Question: Is this really a global issue?
Answer: Yes. The Creator heats up the situation all over the world so much that just bring a match and everything will light up.
Question: But you nevertheless bring everything to this condition all the time, right? To the Jews?
Answer: Yes, the ones who do not connect into an absolutely good society will represent what is said in the Bible. There is no escaping this. “All the nations of the world will be blessed by you.”
That is, a loving nation, if they start loving each other within the nation, this will be a blessing for the whole world. Then the whole world will become the same.
Question: Why were we born like this?
Answer: We were born, no one asked us. We are told what we have to do. That is all.
Comment: This generally causes hatred toward us. Even what you say, you are kind of telling the world: “You hate us for a reason.”
My Response: Yes. Sometimes, perhaps, with unconscious hatred.
Comment: But one way or another, you say that it is also impossible to destroy these people.
My Response: They must fulfill their historical purpose.
Question: If I am not a Jew, what is my mission?
Answer: I call on the nations of the world to turn to the Jews and call them, seriously call them, to connect. And from them, through them, the upper force will act on all the nations of the world, and they will connect.
Connection means that we are completely dependent on each other. And outside of us, all the nations of the world should feel this way.
Question: What is complete dependence?
Answer: Complete dependence means that the attitude of all the nations of the world to each other will depend on our attitude to each other.
Comment: That is, if it is love, then it is love. If it is a mutual guarantee, it is a mutual guarantee. And so on.
My Response: Yes. Therefore, even now we see this hatred from our neighbors because we project our internecine hatred on them.
That is, the level of our hatred among ourselves causes such a level of hatred toward us, and in general, of everyone in the world to everyone.
