Strive to Merge with The Creator

Posted on July 1st, 2025

It is written, “Do not put an obstacle before a blind person.” How can it be that the people of Israel are required to become a kingdom of priests and a holy nation?

At Mount Sinai, the people are required to be as one person with one heart; otherwise, “this will become your burial place.” The condition at Mount Sinai is a state, it is not our condition. It means we have now come out of Egypt, out of the desire to receive. This escape was accomplished through the first three Sefirot of Hochma (GAR de-Hochma), through the upper force, awakening from above.

Now that we have some idea of what it is, we must assume the next state we must enter, called: “the kingdom of priests” and “the holy nation.”

Coming out of the desire to receive and entering the spiritual world must take place in the vessels of bestowal, without any concern for oneself, for the sake of adhesion with the Creator. A state with no self-concern is achieved through a means called “love your neighbor as yourself,” with the help of a group. And merging with the Creator is achieved through working with Him.

Once a person acquires the vessels of bestowal, one interacts with the Creator. But the intention, from the start, must be in order to merge with the Creator.

Keep The Intention

Posted on July 1st, 2025

Question: It is said that intention can be either for the sake of bestowing or for the sake of receiving. Are there really only two states or are there gradations?

Answer: This is exactly what we are studying: how to move from the intention to receive to the intention to bestow. There are many actions between them.

Question: But the question is, are there multiple intentions between them?

Answer: This is exactly the passage through the states of Ibur, Yenika, Mochin, etc. We are talking about intention, not action.

Even when we talk about a Partzuf being filled, what is it filled with? With what its intention is filled with, the intention becomes manifest. This is not a physical action.

The same with the Zivug DeHakaa: the intention for the sake of bestowing gets filled. What kind of filling is this? The way your intention came to fruition: to what extent you built a certain common part with the Creator. Him for you, and you for Him: you have built the place where you are together. This is called the inner part (Toch) of the Partzuf.

Your attitude toward Him is your head (Rosh); the place you are unable to do this is the lower part (Sof) of the Partzuf; the place you are with Him is your Toch. That is, it is the manifestation of an intention, a kind of conclusion of your intentions: now, inside the Partzuf, you see and know that this was your intention.

So these are all intentions. What actions can be there? Whether you are in this world or you have already died, freed yourself from the animal body and everything that is here, nothing ends, because you remain in intentions!

It is in them that life is, and everything else, this whole world, is a state preceding the acquisition of intention. When you transition to the intention, and start creating your own spiritual Partzuf, you will not need this life anymore.

Cursory Thoughts On Shamati, “The Help That the Torah Provides in Spiritual Work”

Posted on July 1st, 2025

The tools that strengthen a person on the spiritual path, called the help that the Torah provides, are: good mood, inspiration, uplifted spirit, daily routine, support of friends, various responsibilities.

I organize all of this around myself so that I constantly desire to advance along the spiritual path. And if suddenly I don’t desire it, then at least I feel obligated, ashamed not to do something, and pressured by the group.

I create all kinds of support systems like this around me so they hold me, don’t let me escape, and compel me, so that every minute I try to gain benefit and make an effort. And it never happens that I try to put in effort and receive no response. It is just that sometimes the response comes on such inner levels that I don’t yet feel it, until it is revealed.

But we must constantly and persistently apply effort, as it is said, “Penny by penny accumulates into a great fortune”; we should not disregard this. We progress not in leaps, but through the tiniest, most detailed actions.
