Transfer Life to Holiness

947Question: What is the correct way to transfer all of one’s life to holiness?

Answer: You can transform your life into holiness only by constantly thinking about becoming closer with one another in order to come together in one single desire.

You have to constantly check what your unity means. Is it good or are some corrections and more closeness necessary? Then you need to raise these still uncorrected properties to correction.

Question: When we unite between ourselves, it works. But when we enter the outside world, we are torn apart. How can we keep this inner part within us?

Answer: You should try. You should ask the Creator. The most important thing is to pray so He would hold us together. After all, it is His work, it is His obligation. He is waiting for this and ready to do this.

The Richness of the Spiritual World

962.3Comment: You are a purely technical person, but when one talks to you, you explain everything in some other scale with images through the language of feelings. You paint such a rich inner Kabbalistic world that our world seems childish in comparison.

My Response: This is because our world is a very simplified, one-sided model of the outside world.

Imagine that instead of the global use of electricity that exists in the world (electronics, electrical circuits, power plants, etc.), you were shown one light bulb. And it represents all the electricity in the world for you, everything that works based on the movement of electrons. That is what our world looks like compared to the spiritual world.

Question: How does egoism build such rich and reliable images, and do you say that the inner world is much richer and more important?

Answer: What images does egoism create? Very small ones, which you can just enjoy a little or from which, if you are frightened, you push away. Nothing else.

Working with Each Other’s Desires

528.01Question: What does it mean to regard each desire of our friends in the group as our own desire?

Answer: If a person has children, when they ask for something, he begins to feel that their desires are necessary for him to fulfill: to obtain what is needed and pass it on to the child. We can do the same with our friends.

Question: How should we properly work with each other’s desires to generate and transmit the light of correction?

Answer: Accept the desires of our friends as our own.

Israel Will Be the Source of Peace

933Question: Once upon a time, you said Israel would eventually become the safest place on Earth. The clip of you saying this has millions of views.  Would you retract those words today?

Answer: No.

Comment: You said that Israel would indeed become the safest place on Earth.

My Response: Yes, that is correct.

Question: What is your basis for saying this?

Answer: I base it on the fact that the same Creator will compel us to follow His instructions. And then He will naturally make this place a source of peace.

Question: So it will be attractive, desirable, and so on?

Answer: Yes, this force will emanate from us into the world, and all the nations will turn and come to us.

When Will the War in Israel End?

963.2Question: This question is difficult to answer. When do you think the war will end?

Answer: When we realize that there is no other way out. Only if we love, support, open our hearts to each other, provide whatever help is needed, and are ready for this to be the base law of human life, then it will happen.

Question: What does it depend on?

Answer: Again, it depends only on us. Only we can shorten all these times and bring nations closer together, just us.

Question: And how do we drive this importance into the heart and into the mind, that this is what we must come to? Besides the fact that we are formatted from above.

Answer: Yes, we are being squeezed from all sides, but we only need to develop this and explain to the world that the right state of humanity is “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Personal Pressure

198Question: If the Creator puts pressure on us, it turns out that He does not put pressure on everyone personally but on the group and the relationship between us. How can we make a restriction and build a screen together?

Answer: The fact is that so far, this work is individual for each of you. You must perceive the impact of the Creator as personal pressure.

He pressures everyone by wanting you to move forward, receive His light, and see how lucky you are or not. The Creator sends you these signals so that you can determine the state of connection that you are in with Him.

Not To Worship Other Gods

515.02Comment: In Shamati 88, Baal HaSulam talks about idolatry. You mentioned that idolatry is the belief in other forces, but that also comes from the Creator.

My Response: If you believe that everything comes from one Creator, then you have no problem.

The article discusses how in past centuries, a thousand or two thousand years ago, people believed in upper forces that resided in trees, water, rivers, and the sea. So they worshiped various objects and natural phenomena. Today this is almost nonexistent.

Question: Is the exaltation of someone also idolatry, and how should we react when this happens within us?

Answer: If we elevate certain individuals above others, we must be cautious to ensure it does not resemble worshiping other gods or idols.

Purify Ourselves from Intentions of for Our Own Sake

243.01Question: When we enter the intention of for the sake of the Creator, are we automatically in purity?

Answer: No. We need to go through many various actions to purify ourselves from all the Klipot, from all the intentions for ourselves. Only then will we free ourselves from them.

We gradually rid ourselves of all Klipa, unnecessary thoughts and unnecessary desires, and become more sharply directed toward connection with the Creator. This is called purification from Klipot.

Question: How can we check the purity of our intention?

Answer: Through our attitude toward the friends.
