The Most Productive States

255Question: How do you behave when you realize and feel yourself as worthless?

Answer: You must realize that it comes from the Creator, and thank Him for revealing it, that now, finally, you understand who you are.

From this state, you can advance correctly. It will not allow you to stay in place. Therefore our worst states are actually the most productive.

278.01Question: What benefits does the science of Kabbalah bring to us in everyday life? Does it make life more fulfilling and happy?

Answer: Fifty years ago, people thought that the world was developing toward a better life, and that all countries would achieve the same prosperity as the United States and Europe. And in fact, with modern development, a person is able to arrange a heavenly life for himself on this earth.

But there is something in us that breaks all our plans and prevents us from achieving this dream. We see that today there are all the conditions for creating a wonderful life for everyone, but instead we are senselessly wasting money, energy and our lives on anything except harmonious development, achieving perfection, health, and raising the next generation.

Humanity seems to have lost its mind and does not understand at all what it is doing. And those people who make all this mess in the world are also trying to show everyone how smart, strong, and understanding they are. But for some reason, the world under their control has such an unsightly appearance.

Apparently, we are at the mercy of forces of nature that we do not understand. How can we explain that countries are in conflict with each other and are spending huge amounts of money on weapons, on completely unnecessary things, and in the meantime people are dying of hunger and suffering from diseases?

Ordinary people get pitiful crumbs allocated to healthcare, security, and social services compared to all the capital, resources, and power that humanity possesses. That is, we see that the world is governed by forces beyond our control. We do not control our lives, but these selfish forces control us.

How can we overcome the evil human nature, egoism, which pushes us to senseless, unreasonable actions that defy any sound logic? Why do we not agree among ourselves that we do not need wars or endless competition? After all, we could arrange a wonderful life for ourselves on this globe; it is in our power! Why is it not working?

After the end of World War II, people hoped that a good, peaceful life had finally arrived. But half a century has passed, and we are once again on the verge of a much more terrible and dangerous war, a war that is capable of blowing up our entire planet.

Therefore we need to understand the power that controls us and makes us such stupid, narrow-minded people who have no control over their fate. Selfishness pushes us together, forcing us to fight like little children who do not want to give in to each other. Everyone wants to prove to others that they are bigger, stronger, like a naive, stubborn baby. Where is our serious attitude to life, reasonableness, logic, and balance?

There are many women in leadership positions these days. It would seem that women are more reasonable in this, and will be able to better manage the world by putting it in order. But we see that in our generation, women, once in government, begin to act as irresponsibly as the men around them. Apparently they fall under the influence of the environment, so there is no softening in international relations that they could bring.

We are completely at the mercy of an evil force, our selfishness, and are unable to fight it. We have no way to stand up to him, because selfishness is above us; it is a higher power.

This selfishness is ready to lead us to the abyss until we destroy ourselves, blow up the globe, and split it into pieces. A man is ready to die for his selfishness. Selfishness is stronger than the fear of death, it is above our lives.

If so, then our situation seems completely hopeless, and we are doomed. But here the science of Kabbalah is revealed and explains that this evil force deliberately controls us so that we understand that we need another force that is able to resist it.

This second force is also the highest, but it is the opposite of the force of selfishness, and will be able to balance it. All over the world now—inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human—there is only one evil force at work.

And if we want to escape from it, so that everyone does not perish and destroy the Earth, then we need to find the second force available in nature, the force of goodness. The science of Kabbalah helps to reveal this good power.

To Find the Missing Half of the Vessel

534We constantly work with our egoistic desire, which acts according to its natural property, the desire to receive fulfillment, our only matter. We await the light of correction to come and add an intention for the sake of bestowal to this desire.

We must separate desire and intention. With the desire to enjoy, I always have the opportunity to work and advance. As it says, “Do everything within your power.” But the intention to give to others or to the Creator comes as a result of the influence of the surrounding light. That is what we need to ask for.

That is, I already have half of the spiritual vessel, the desire to enjoy. I am not neglecting or annulling it, I just want to change its intention. If a person correctly separates his attitude toward action and intention, he will always be able to perform some actions and do work, both when spirituality attracts him and when it does not. But the force of unity that was formed in the past helps him.

He will always be able to raise a prayer, a request, for the right intention, so that it joins his action, and determines his spiritual quality. That is how a person advances.

Once he begins to understand more, feel more, and enter the spiritual world, he sees that there is not much difference between the spiritual and the material. It only takes a psychological change in a person to experience the spiritual.

We are not required to cross out our entire past life or override all our basis. We just need to extract the intention from all this and try to bring it to correction.

Therefore a person is happy that he came out of Egypt and brought with him many vessels, desires, and much strength. On the other hand, he is full of selfish intentions, and feels that they are the opposite of the truth. That is what he is starting to work on now. From this state, work begins. Therefore it is considered the point of spiritual birth.

We feel as “You Stand Today, All of You” before the Creator, with our corrupt desires, which we can present to Him as ready for correction.

The Source of Beliefs and Teachings

249.01Only after servants of the Creator expanded did the posterity of the agnostics become idealists (Baal HaSulam, “The Writings of the Last Generation“).

The science of Kabbalah teaches that as people unite, they must achieve such unity where a single force of nature would be revealed according to the principle of similarity of form. In nature, this force descends into our world from the top down, and we must become like it, rising from the bottom up.

If we make ourselves into one unified system of desires, aspirations, and mutual help, we will begin to feel the upper force.

But if we simply use the very idea of properly uniting people without associating it with the upper force, brotherly mutual aid, “man is man’s friend, comrade and brother,” and so on, then we immediately slip into communism, socialism, and other “isms.”

All philosophies ultimately originated in Kabbalah. Medieval philosophers wrote about this, as well as Mirandola, German philosophers, and others.

In addition, all the so-called “religions” and all kinds of movements have emerged from Kabbalah. From the idea of consolidating people and building the right community, social psychology emerged, along with methods of unification and related approaches.

People Are Created to Govern the World

294.4Question: According to your words, it turns out that people are created in order to govern this world? These lowly beings, as you say?

Answer: Yes. They are created to be the crown of creation, to govern the world, to implore the Creator to influence our world with the quality of good, which, from the side of the human being, from the side of people, of humanity, they will support with all their strength. They must allow the qualities of love and bestowal, goodness and compassion, to be revealed in the world.

Question: Do they therefore have to pass through this lowliness?

Answer: Yes, to recognize their nature, suppress it within themselves, and come to need the opposite nature—the nature of the Creator.

Question: And this is the path?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How does a person come to realize that this is the path?

Answer: Through suffering. There is nothing to be done. Through the realization of the insignificance of one’s own forces, qualities, and abilities.

The Creator awaits our turning to Him for help, our asking Him for the quality of goodness, bestowal, and love, and by this we rise to His level.
