The Light that Gives Confidence

276.02Question: There is a state when you feel yourself standing before the king, striving to please the Creator, and you know exactly what you are giving. But suddenly, external circumstances dampen these impressions, and fear of the Creator appears, a trepidation that something wrong was done. Where does this fear come from, and how can we overcome it?

Answer: Fear of the Creator arises from the sensation of the lack of surrounding light (Ohr Makif). It is necessary to be even more united with the ten, and then everything will definitely change. Everything will be revealed and you will get a sense of confidence. After all, the surrounding light supports us and gives us confidence. That is why it is so important.

You must constantly think about the mutual connection between you, and then you will receive this light through others.

Walk in the Ways of the Creator

528.03Question: Rabash’s article “Hear, My Son, Your Father’s Morals – 1” describes how a person can make a calculation in his mind and have some possibility of following the ways of the Creator. But the mind cannot see where we are headed. How can we see this commandment before fulfilling it?

Answer: You have to ask. You have to ask for everything, and then you will get a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Therefore, you will later have a picture of our world, of yourself, and where you are.

Question: What kind of opportunity is to walk in the ways of the Creator?

Answer: It is an opportunity to fulfill the laws of unification until we unite into the system of Adam HaRishon.

Question: So why does this relate to the calculation? When we perform an action of unification, should we associate it with payment for violations or some loss?

Answer: Yes, our scrutinies always consist of some kind of calculation: plus or minus, more or less, etc.

Question: What kind of payment should we expect?

Answer: That it will unite us all and lift us up.

Reboot the Spiritual Program

537Question: How can I feel that I am in a new program today?

Answer: If you wake up in the morning completely empty, understand nothing, see nothing, know nothing, and start everything from scratch like an animal as if there were no yesterday or previous years, this means that your program is being rebooted.

And the more you advance, the more frequent these sensations of zero become. In other words, you are being “rebooted” and everything is being reset because any new degree is built from scratch.

From the Common Desire

935Question: How can we connect with the Creator through the connection between us so that we can turn to Him?

Answer: Unite among you. And when you feel that there is something common between you, elevate that common desire so that the Creator feels your collective desire and wants to fill it.

Question: Where is the Creator in this collective desire?

Answer: Above it.

Question: What does it mean that the Creator is above our desires?

Answer: He feels all desires from top to bottom.

Forgetfulness in Spiritual Work

527.12Question: How should one relate to forgetfulness in spiritual work when one’s memory fades and sometimes it is even impossible to recognize people? Everything is forgotten.

Answer: If everything is forgotten to the extent that I look at my friends and practically do not even recognize them, it means that true renewal is taking place.

This happens at every level in spirituality. That is why it is very strange to even see people as if you do not know them.

It happens. You will get used to it. Life becomes more interesting, though.

Rewarded with Holiness

938.03Where there is labor, there is the Sitra Achra [other side], for the Sitra Achra is in deficiency (Baal HaSulam, Letter 55).

Question: What does it mean that we exert efforts in our connection with friends, and how will we be rewarded with holiness?

Answer: As long as we remain in egoistic desires, our efforts pass through a heavy barrier.

The moment we become bestowers efforts disappear and we joyfully and easily acquire the property of bestowal and remain in spirituality.

Here and now, in one hour, we can do much more than over a very long time thanks to many actions in the upper world.

How Can You Get Rid of Grievances against the Creator?

514.02Question: How can you get rid of grievances against the Creator?

Answer: What hurts you is what you need to pray about.

Let a person write down what he wants to address to the Creator, and then at different times of the day check whether what he wrote is correct. And if he feels that he wants to change his prayer, then this is a step forward.

Therefore, continue your work and try to constantly adjust the prayer slightly. Then you will see how the Creator responds to you accordingly. And if necessary, He will correct you.

The Opportunity to Rise Above

938.07Question: We say that if hatred toward a friend arises within you, you should outwardly show them love. But if a friend shows hatred toward me, is it my fault?

Answer: There is no fault of yours here! The Creator deliberately places you in this situation so that you can rise above it.

Question: What is the correct reaction to this situation?

Answer: Embrace your friend. He is giving you the opportunity to rise above.

Why should you take offense at him unless it concerns joint work in dissemination, translations, or other matters where disagreements arise for the sake of achieving a better result?

Otherwise, everything else is meant only for you to annul yourself.
