Before and After Exiting Egypt

625.07Question: What do we need to keep in the center of the ten in order to pass through the darkness when exiting Egypt?

Answer: The most important thing is to go by faith above reason paying no attention to any obstacles, taking one more step, and another step, and another. Thus, gradually, we will exit Egypt.

Question: If a person truly reaches a state where all his thoughts, desires, and aspirations are directed toward the Creator, then a second before and a second after exiting Egypt, how does his attitude toward the Creator change?

Answer: Before exiting Egypt, a person is in a state of pleading, begging the Creator to help him escape from there, to rise above egoistic problems.

And literally the next moment, he feels gratitude for what the Creator has done for him.

Day Seven of Creation

565.02Question: On the seventh day of creation the Creator rests. In principle, work is prohibited on this day. What does this mean?

Answer: A person should understand that the world was not created for the purpose of working and producing something. There is simply a certain period when he must create (that is why it is called creation), and then the Creator acts Himself.

That is, for six days a person performs certain work on himself, and on the seventh day he is filled. This is already the work of the Creator.

Feelings that Cannot Be Conveyed

255Comment: There is always a layer of internal feelings behind your words. I understand what you are saying when you are explaining it, but I cannot convey it to others. There is always something lacking.

 My Response: You will not succeed because my spiritual perception is on the opposition of two systems: egoistic and altruistic. And I somehow project this onto you. But you so far have only one system, i.e., you perceive what I say, but cannot convey it to another person.

Question: And if I were to manage to convey information to a person, would he be able to perceive it?

Answer: Every person can perceive it to some extent because you convey it to them in your instruments.

Question: When you speak in public, you have an internal exchange of information. People understand you, but when they leave a lecture and are asked, “How was it?”, they can’t really answer.

Answer: Nevertheless, they were able to feel something within themselves. They saw truth, logic, feelings, and verbal transmission of information and accepted my message. But they cannot convey and accurately define it. That usually happens the first time we perceive something new. But then you have to work hard to begin to recognize all this.

Israel Is The Heart Of The Entire World

229Israel were made by the Creator, the heart of the whole world. And so are Israel among the nations, like a heart among the organs. And as the organs of the body cannot exist in the world even a minute without the heart, all the other nations cannot exist in the world without Israel (Zohar for All, Vol. 7, “Pinchas”).

Some nations live so far away from the people of Israel that they have no connection with them, yet they exist. It is not just about mere existence, but about a deeper meaning, about connection with the center of the world, with the Creator, which for other nations can only be through Israel.

And since people subconsciously seek this connection through Israel and do not find it, this leads them to hatred toward the people of Israel. Thus antisemitism arises. People do not understand where their hatred comes from. But in reality, the internal reason lies in the feeling that they cannot find the center of the world through Israel, from which they could fill themselves and their souls.

Therefore, they blame the people of Israel and think that if they could eliminate them, they could somehow arrange their own existence. But it will not work out that way.

Israel must be the heart of the entire world, the center of unity through which all the world’s nations unite with each other and the Creator. The connection of the world with the Creator goes through Israel. It turns out that Israel must raise a prayer for all the nations of the world and feel their desire as its own.

Connection of the Souls of Israel with the Nations of the World

610.2Question: You said that we are connected to the nations of the world through Malchut. How do we work with this? What should we do with this common desire?

Answer: The nations of the world mostly stem from Malchut de Malchut, while the souls of Israel come from the first nine Sefirot within Malchut. Therefore, the souls of Israel can begin to attract light upon themselves and then channel it through themselves to all the nations of the world.

Although Israel goes first, when the nations of the world come to master the correction of nature, they will do much more than Israel as they comprise the main part of Malchut.

Question: How can I associate myself more with the first nine Sefirot than with Malchut de Malchut?

Answer: The first nine Sefirot represent the quality of bestowal. If you align yourself with the qualities of bestowal as much as possible in every movement you make, you will join them. No one will be able to take this from you; you will be in charge of your own destiny.

There Is No Way to Detect the Intention!

947Question: Could it be that a ten that fulfills the condition of Bnei Baruch, the love of friends, is at the level of Lo Lishma (for oneself)?

Answer: Yes, because Lo Lishma (for oneself) or Lishma (for one’s neighbor) is manifested in their intention, but it is not visible from the outside.

Friends can do whatever is necessary and in their intention be completely elsewhere, that is, not advancing toward uniting hearts and not seeking mutual assistance. And this is the main thing.

Correct Relations in the Family

627.2In his article “Partnership,” Rabash writes about an ideal relationship where the husband works and brings home money and the wife’s work is to cook tasty meals, and everyone is happy.

That is a simple life example of correct relations. The husband brings earnings, which is his task, and the wife assures everyone is satisfied. That is the way it should be in every family.

Of course, we understand that Rabash lived in the previous century when a woman stayed home with children and pots and pans. She had enough work around the house. Nothing was closed for her, but she was not obligated to develop.

Through her labor and attachment to her man, she received from him whatever he had without making any mental effort. She received it only through her mere attachment and exertion of caring for her family.

Question: Does it mean that development does not depend on mental efforts?

Answer: No, at least for women that is true.

By Sacrificing, We Gain

528.04Question: It is said that every friend is obliged to fulfill his neighbor’s needs and leave oneself lacking. What do we sacrifice in the ten for the sake of our friends?

Answer: In the ten we must sacrifice ourselves to get closer to our friends and merge with them.

In principle, we do not sacrifice anything because, after all, we begin to understand that what previously seemed to us as an acquisition is, in fact, now like a prison. Therefore, we only gain by sacrificing for the sake of our unity.
