Today we are in a state where we are obliged to make corrections. If we do this, we are using our free choice. We create a group through which we strengthen ourselves, analyze the Kelim, and correct them from simple to complex.
First we correct “Israel in its land” to the extent possible, and then our inclusion in the nations of the world. This means that we give the nations of the world the method of correction, explain to them why everything exists, what its purpose is, and what the process and goal of creation are.
This is what is meant by Galgalta veEynaim (GE) working on the AHP, being inside it, and due to this the AHP joins GE to the extent possible.
If we function as we should, then, as Baal HaSulam, writes “sparks of enlightenment and purification” will pass from Israel to the nations of the world. By doing this, we carry out the one and only action that we can perform by free choice.
But if we do not use our freewill, specifically that which is given to us in this particular moment in history, then the general force that is obliged to bring us and all the nations of the world to the end of correction (Gmar Tikun) will act upon us in such a way that we will be made to fulfill what is required.
To the extent that we deviate from the correct direction, this force acts upon us to return us to it, but this return comes through suffering, and therefore, we risk finding ourselves in the most dreadful states.

Question: Where does the transition occur so that I act not out of a desire to avoid blows, but start advancing at my own will?
Answer: No, you do not need to go by your will. Can we advance just because the idea is beautiful, abstract, and offers a chance to rise above the animalistic degree? It does not work like that; such a thing does not exist.
I follow this idea because I feel bad! What is the meaning of my life? I ask this question only because, like an animal, I want to escape a blow. “What is the meaning of my life?” That is an animalistic question! It arises when I feel bad, when I feel it in my body.
I do not think: “How miserable the Creator must be! Maybe I should keep Him company? Me and Him, that is already two. Maybe someone else will join too.” A person is incapable of such an attitude! It is an illusion. We are made of the will to receive, and only from this substance arises the demand: I don’t want to suffer, I want to enjoy! Or if not to enjoy, then at least to suffer less.
Question: When does my attitude shift from fear to love?
Answer: It is very simple! As soon as you turn to Him out of fear and feel that you have received a good response, you begin to love.
Let’s say someone constantly hits you and seemingly hates you. But then, from these blows, you begin to see a good result, and then you start to understand His attitude toward you. He does not want to hit you, but does so only because there is no other choice. Only based on the result do we begin to change our attitude toward the Creator.

Question: We say that first we direct ourselves toward the Creator, and only afterward we work with the friends in order to attain Him. But in practice, according to the method it is the other way around. First are the commandments regarding one’s attitude toward a friend, and then to the Creator.
Answer: The end of the action is in the original plan. You must constantly maintain the final goal, and everything you do along the way is merely a means. Therefore, if you are not thinking about the ultimate goal, your intermediate actions may be directed the wrong way and end up giving the opposite result.
Baal HaSulam writes about this, mentioning communism, Kibbutzim, and all the things humanity tried to create for its own benefit by using the rule “love your neighbor as yourself,” the Ten Commandments, and so on. The result was only evil and destruction. The reason is that the ultimate goal was not exactly the one for which these commandments were given and for which the whole of creation really exists.
If you use anything beyond the inanimate, vegetative, or animate levels without the intention to attain adhesion with the Creator, then any action, even the smallest one, causes damage to the surrounding reality.
And the greater and more significant the action, the more harm it brings to you. After all, the entire reality was created only so that you could connect your free choice with the place where you are called a human, and thereby all of reality would once again merge with the Creator.

Question: Are we allowed to give away parts of the Land of Israel?
Answer: We must not involve ourselves in politics or anything of the kind, but only in intention! You cannot hold onto the land by force. You can see for yourself that it does not work.
The more a person acts with force, the more he loses; much more than his predecessor. You can see; Golda Meir did not give anything away. Now the generals come and each one concedes more than the one before. Why? The lower he falls, the more he gives.
It is clear to us that we will not be able to hold on to even a millimeter here by force because our world is structured according to the spiritual world. Therefore, we must correspond to the roots. Even those who want to achieve peace or security at any cost are unable to do so.
This is possible only through the forces that govern all of creation. Our world is a consequence. If you bring the forces of the spiritual world into order, this will inevitably bring about a result in our world.
Never through any action in this world that a person wishes to carry out through matter will he succeed in doing something that will truly benefit him. Sooner or later, he will feel it.
No matter how seemingly good a person’s intentions may be, if he uses forces, matter, or laws of the corporeal world alone, he will discover the evil contained within them. This is how nature is built; correction, order, and change must flow from above downward. And above it, we act only through our intention.
No matter how insignificant our attitude toward the world may seem to us (after all, what difference does my attitude make, I cannot measure or truly understand it); nonetheless, it is exactly this that has power! This is what humanity must reveal and arm itself with, intention, the correct attitude. If not, the world will continue to fall apart, faster and faster.

Question: Why did you say that the realm of intentions at first feels like death and then will feel like life?
Answer: You asked how it is possible to live 24 hours a day with thoughts about the Creator, because it gets boring, you see nothing in it!
I answered that you have no point of support in this: the Creator is not revealed, you do not feel that your relationship with Him is life, you are not filled with it, and you do not constantly live in that dimension where you are always with Him, where you see the corporeal world as something inanimate, absolutely inanimate, as if you are looking at stones.
Right now, the world seems full of life, full of people. Later you will see that they are not really “people,” because they themselves have no free choice. They are the consequences of actions and not their masters.
When you enter the world of intentions (Assiya, Beriya, Yetzira, Atzilut, Adam Kadmon, and Infinity are all intentions!), you begin to feel life—eternal, perfect, full of possibilities for growth, understanding, and realization. All of this is endless, without any boundaries that would not depend on you; everything depends on you! That is life.
But at first, before you enter this, it seems like death to constantly think about the Creator. How can you think of Him, what He wants from you. What He wants from you is still felt as death because you are not yet receiving any fulfillment from it.

The connection with a Kabbalist is a union of soul with soul: soul into soul (Ruach beRuach). A new spiritual point emerges in a person through which he connects to his spiritual root. A person knows and feels with whom he is connecting.
When one connects to the soul of RASHBI or Baal HaSulam, they receive strength, illumination from there, and begin to feel an inner connection with the Kabbalist along with the ability to give more, to love more. Yet, from each Kabbalist, one can receive something unique, depending on what that Kabbalist wants to convey to us.
One must ask, constantly ask for exactly what one lacks, and strive for the request to be about the right fulfillment for the realization of the root of the soul. That is all.
