Life Is a Moment

Posted on January 28th, 2024

Comment: There is a story by Alan Mayer called “Bad Luck.”

I awoke to searing pain all over my body. I opened my eyes and saw a nurse standing by my bed.
“Mr. Fujima,” she said. “You were lucky to have survived the bombing of Hiroshima two days ago. But you’re safe now here in this hospital.”
Weakly, I asked, “Where am I?”
“Nagasaki,” she said.

My Response: Nagasaki was bombed a few days later.

Question: Yes. Today there is a feeling in the world that you cannot be safe anywhere. Will it happen that I was, for example, in Hiroshima, but woke up in Nagasaki?

Answer: Yes. We will calmly experience every day with the realization that every moment may be the last.

Question: Is the world being brought to such a state now?

Answer: What is wrong with that?

Question: What is good about it?

Answer: It is very good! Because it drives us to properly evaluate ourselves and our lives.

Question: So you are saying that if I live with this, then I will live every minute as the last?

Answer: Yes. It is going to be good.

Comment: Mankind has never lived like this.

My Response: Of course not.

Question: And is it being brought to this point now?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does it mean to live this minute, this moment as it should be, as the last?

Answer: Give yourself to the flow of life, to the Creator. In general, give away all of yourself.

Question: And then, will I feel safe?

Answer: What safety? It is the exact opposite of what you want.

Question: So I am living this moment for others, every moment? Is this what life is called?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And I do not think about the next minute, about the next moment, about tomorrow, about anything?

Answer: Life is a moment between the past and the future.

Question: Yes, exactly. We sing it.

Is that good, do you think?

Answer: This is very good! Then a person feels above this existence.

Question: Is it possible to learn this?

Answer: It is possible. It depends on how deep a person can go into himself, how far he can break away from corporeality. He can.

States of Connection with the Creator

Posted on January 28th, 2024

Hence, The Zohar makes the precision of telling us that it is from the great ZA, and this is why it said, “patriarchs.” They are called “flower buds,” which means plantings, since they grow like plantings. First, their measure was as that of NHY. Afterwards, in Yenika [suckling], they became HGT, and then, in the first Gadlut, they became HBD of Neshama. In the second Gadlut, they became HBD of Haya.

The flower buds are the patriarchs, who entered in a thought, and entered the next world, Bina. This refers to the Ibur [impregnation/conception] of ZA, since during his Ibur, he rises to AVI, who are called “thought” and “the next world.” Aba is called “thought” and Ima is called “the next world.” There is the beginning of the construction of ZA in three within three, which means that HGT are clothed inside NHY (Zohar for All “The Flower Buds”).

We are talking about the states our desires go through, which gradually develop to a level where we can perceive creation through them.

A certain level of desire development is called “Ibur“—gestation, then “Yenika“—suckling, etc. That is, these are states of a certain connection with the Creator.

For example, in our world, the embryo completely annuls itself in the mother’s womb. The same can be said about spiritual birth, when I do not use my egoistic desires at all, annul them, and thus find myself in some kind of connection with the Creator because I do not receive for myself.

Suckling is a state when I, together with my supposedly egoistic desires, begin to receive gradually, but only to grow and become like the Creator. Then, having absorbed the properties of the Creator in the prior stages, I am already working for bestowal. This is called the state of greatness.

Questions about Spiritual Work—64

Posted on January 28th, 2024

Question: When a friend has obstacles and problems in the ten, it seems so simple and easy that I want to give advice. But is it better to show an example or continue to sort out the situation?

Answer: It is best to show an example. If this example is displayed correctly, it is necessary to repeat it.

Question: What is a free, strong desire to merge with the Creator?

Answer: A free, strong desire is a desire that is freed from Klipot and rushes to the Creator.

Question: Are the various temptations of the material world the biggest obstacles for us, or is it still a bad relationship between us?

Answer: In fact the biggest obstacle lies in the relationship between us in the group. The obstacles may be of a completely different type, but that is the reason.

Question: There are states when, after connecting with friends, you feel lightness and joy from connection, and sometimes there are states when serious heaviness occurs. Are both of these states correct or not?

Answer: Both are correct. In general, all states are necessary because all of them, one way or another, twist us and direct us to the Creator.
