When Happiness Comes

Posted on April 8th, 2025

Once a person is convinced that he has nothing in his hands, that he has a long path to travel, that he has searched, suffered, and tried to make something of himself and sees he cannot, he turns to the Creator.

Question: Where is the element of happiness here, at what point?

Answer: You feel you have nothing else but the Creator. You have to appeal to Him and simply persuade, beg, urge, or compel, and oblige Him.

Comment: To answer.

My Response: Yes, just demand revelation.

Question: Is that moment the moment of happiness?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: So the whole path, we can say it was…

My Response: The whole path was also toward revealing the Creator because all you wanted on your spiritual path was to gain the quality of love and bestowal. Only you couldn’t turn to the Creator.…

Comment: With a broken heart.

My Response: Right, you could not make the correct appeal. And now you have done it. Today, people are already exhausted, and therefore, they can hear it.

Question: So one way or another, people want to come to the true prayer today?

Answer: If we did not fool ourselves with the media and other things, we could slowly explain what happiness is.

Merging into Perfection

Posted on April 8th, 2025

We are created in such a way that by connecting with each other and with the Creator, by complementing it, and being part of it, we reveal perfection to the extent that we can complement this perfection ourselves.

We begin to feel that everything except us is perfect. And when I enter and gradually start filling this perfection in places that remain open for me, like in a mosaic, I begin to experience the highest pleasure because in this way, I attain eternity, the perfection, which I myself create, complete, and realize.

It is an astonishing sensation! We are created to feel this and be filled with it. In truth, we have no other needs. So, by attaining this, we attain everything.

When humanity experiences all of this, when it merges into an absolutely perfect, eternal system, into this wondrous harmony, then beyond this threshold—as Kabbalists hint in their books—lies the next stage of a certain state, development.

We cannot imagine what development means because we currently have no needs that correspond to the next stage. And then suddenly—no, I want classical music now! And then definitely some impressionism, and then something else.

That is, it is quite possible that we will develop other desires. Or perhaps it will not be based on a desire at all. On the desire to receive? Certainly not anymore. On the desire to bestow? I don’t know. This is a realm that cannot be explored by us; we have no instruments or means to study it.

In addition to the so-called sixth millennium, there is also the seventh, which represents complete correction. This corresponds to the Sabbath. And then there are also the eighth, ninth, and tenth millennia. In “The Introduction to The Mouth of the Wise,” Rabash writes that Baal HaSulam spoke about this.

But right now, we cannot discuss it, as it is far beyond us—just like a small child cannot reason about what happens in the world of adults.

In the spiritual world, a person sees only their own level and a part of the upper level. All the previous levels are included within them and form their true integral essence, while the higher level is slightly revealed to them—the one meant to elevate them—like a mother, parents, or our world in relation to a child.

They perceive them, but in what way? Only at the level they are on and slightly above within the possibilities that are made available to them. Nothing else can be perceived! Everything else that exists is nothing to them.

Purim—Concealment and Revelation

Posted on April 6th, 2025

Darkness is the Median (Babylonian) exile, which the people of Israel brought upon themselves because the Creator (Zeir Anpin) fell into slumber.

And the sinner Haman, a great astrologer, cast lots (Pur) to determine fate.

For Haman and his ten sons represent the ten Klipot (impure forces), and therefore he knew that the Creator was asleep and that His higher governance was not protecting the people of Israel (those who seek the Creator).

Thus, Haman thought that the time had come to destroy the people of Israel.

Haman represents all our desire to receive, which stand in opposition to the entire light of Hochma, and he knows that this light must now be revealed.

He just doesn’t know that this can happen only through the middle line, and then it is canceled, which leads to the transition to the state of the first restriction (Tzimtzum Aleph).

Malchut unites with Zeir Anpin in the middle line, they ascend to Bina and reach the state of the end of correction.

To destroy the people of Israel means to destroy the intention for the sake of bestowal, which prevents receiving the light of Hochma egoistically.

Mordechai represents the intention to bestow, but if he acts alone, without Haman’s desires, then it is merely bestowal for the sake of bestowal, meaning he blocks the light of Hochma and does not allow it to be revealed.

If a person does not work in the middle line, then even their best actions of bestowal close the path of development. This is why Mordechai must be connected with Haman.

When the conflict begins between them, between the intention to bestow and the egoistic desire, it becomes clear how they can or cannot unite.

There is an intention for the sake of bestowal, through which Haman’s desires can be used, but these desires themselves will not be fulfilled. This is why the confrontation between Haman and Mordechai occurs. It is about how a person can create the right connection between two opposing forces, opposite intentions—what battles, confusion, and doubts await us on the path of correction until we find the right method.

The Scroll of Esther (Megillat Ester) tells us about this.

Depending on the Level of Development

Posted on April 6th, 2025

Question: Can a child be provided with the information that an adult possesses?

Answer: It is absolutely impossible. First you must develop the child to the level of an adult, to the level of the Creator. Therefore, as Maimonides writes, things should be explained to beginners gradually, in small portions, until they grow and can properly absorb the information. This is the mastery of the teacher, on one hand.

On the other hand, it is not so bad if everyone hears this information because everyone will still feel it better or worse, closer or further from oneself. So in a lesson, both beginners and people with serious experience and understanding can sit together and each one will understand something.

But there are some feelings and knowledge that should not be conveyed to beginners because they will not perceive them anyway. Strangely enough in Kabbalah, there is no concept of “forbidden” as in our world. Everyone thinks that there are prohibitions and secrets there.

There are no secrets at all. Both an underdeveloped person and a more developed one understand everything at their own level. The development of each one, in principle, is limited by himself. And there is nothing you can do about it.

I cannot whisper some secret into your ear; you simply will not understand it. It is like whispering some human idea to a cow. What will it do? Wiggle its ear and nothing more.

Therefore everything depends on the development of a recipient.

The Wisdom of Perception

Posted on April 6th, 2025

Question: The Creator creates a created being and develops it Himself by making sure it develops a desire to attain the upper and become independent. But if all of this comes from the Creator…?

Answer: You can ask a million questions, and every second, new ones will arise within you. The answers will not satisfy you because the only real answer can be in your feelings.

We are created as beings of feeling, of desire, and it is this desire that we must fulfill. The intellect alone will not suffice. We cannot calm ourselves with logical arguments. That is why Kabbalah does not engage in this. Instead it shows a person on how he or she can develop oneself to a level where the person can feel a spiritual state.

Thus we must go through all the states given to us, and only then will we understand what it truly is. Another person’s knowledge will give us nothing.

Everything we study is not in order to know but to change ourselves, to create new sensations and the possibility of perception. And nothing else!

Kabbalah is the wisdom of perception! “Kabbalah” means reception, perception.
