The Creator Spoiled, but We Will Correct

629.3Question: God spoiled everything; He created evil, egoism, and we will correct everything and come to altruistic consciousness?

Answer: That is absolutely right. As it is said: “I created evil and gave the instruction for its correction.” The upper force created nothing but evil. And we must correct it.

But this does not mean that we should turn poverty into wealth or illness into health. Correction consists of bringing people to the attainment of the meaning of life, that is, to connection with the Creator. From there, they will receive what will fulfill them, heal them, and elevate them to the highest level.

A Method Directed Against Human Nature

255Question: When studying Kabbalah is it better to agree with you or to resist and find out?

Answer: To resist and find out, of course! That is what I want from my students! This is called a Kabbalah teacher.

Question: And faith above reason, where should I be annulled?

Answer: Faith is above reason, that is your work if you are able to carry it out. But at the same time, you are not destroying knowledge, you are not destroying your egoism. You rise above it. It is like a pillow for you on which you build faith, the quality of bestowal above your egoism. Egoism gives you the possibility to build faith.

If egoism disappears, then the quality of bestowal will disappear, since it is built on the opposite of egoism, which works as a counterforce. Therefore, there is absolutely no subordination here!

I know from my own experience how difficult it was for me with my teacher. The more you move forward, the more you begin to hate him. You always feel insignificance in him, emptiness, you cannot agree with him!

I know all this, and that is why I see right through my students. This does not concern me and in no way dictates my attitude toward them. By no means! Not at all! I understand their hatred toward me, because I am presenting them with a method that is against their nature. How can they love me?!

Question: Then why are they with you nonetheless?

Answer: Because they have nowhere to go. That is it!

Receive a Sample of Bestowal

237Question: The second and the fourth stages of the spreading of the light are stages in action. And the third stage, as it is said in TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), is a kind of sample that a person receives from the Creator. What does it mean to receive a sample of bestowal?

Answer: It means to learn from the first stage how it transforms into the second, into the third, into the fourth stages, and in what way from the fourth stage we can connect with all the other stages and abide within them.

Hassadim Is the Source of Light

236.01Question: It is said that the waters conceived and gave birth to darkness. How does the light of Hassadim give birth to darkness?

Answer: If we do not have the light of Hassadim, then we feel the darkness and do everything to attract the upper light to ourselves.

And how it comes to us depends on the state of the Kli. It is quite possible that the Kelim need the light of Hochma. Hochma cannot shine without the light of Hassadim.

The Action of the Light on the Primary Desire

535.02Question: In TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot) it is said that the fourth stage of the development of desire is the stage of action at the completion of the Kli of reception. What action is meant here?

Answer: It is about the action of light on the primary desire, which develops until the entire nature of light and the entire nature of desire of the Kli develop to such a degree that they are connected with each other and complement each other.

Question: Is there any example of this state?

Answer: No, there is no example yet. We are still unable to distinguish one desire from another and to speak of examples. But soon this will happen. Therefore, we must constantly strive toward the final state.

The Properties of the Letters of the Name HaVaYaH

548.01Question: In the four stages designated by the four letters, why does the “Hey” belong to both Bina and Malchut?

Answer: These are different qualities. The first “Hey” comes from the Creator’s will to bestow. This occurs within the creature’s will to receive that it senses, and it operates within it.

The difference is that the first stage comes from the light, while the last stage comes from the desire. Therefore, the desire in the final stage is the true one. And it is precisely this desire that we later study in all of nature.

Question: The “Vav” in the name “HaVaYaH” is the power of transmission, not a Kli itself, but at the same time it is precisely what connects above and below. Can we then say that the spiritual strength of Zeir Anpin lies in its emptiness and loyalty to the connection, rather than in desire?

Answer: No, this is the desire of Zeir Anpin. Desire is a parameter that we cannot set aside or not use. It is everything we have.
