Comment: As I cross the Machsom, I begin to justify the Creator. But I see that people still hate each other.
My Response: No, then you will see that everyone loves each other like brothers.
Comment: This is from the Creator’s side, not mine.
My Response: What does from the Creator’s side mean? For example, you can see that a taxi driver who wants to make money is actually trying to help everyone and take everyone where they need to go, and thinks only about this. The fact that he gets paid for it and yells at everyone is because he misunderstands his state. You see that he is a puppet, doing it unconsciously. But he executes acts of love.
Question: This is from the Creator’s side, but what does it look like from my side?
Answer: This is not from the Creator’s side. You are saying that the taxi driver is not aware of what he is doing and he thinks he is driven by the desire for profit.
But if you look at it from the other side, the picture looks completely opposite.
Comment: This is not clear.
My Response: This is not clear, but it is true.
Believe me, the world looks completely different depending on our attitude toward it because it does not exist. It is a product of our attitude toward it.

Every time we make efforts in observing the law of “faith above reason,” that is, in working against our desire, then no matter how tired we are, whatever unpleasant sensations we experience, and even if we see no worthy reason to justify our efforts, more and more burden is added on us. The load is made heavier so that we will ask the question: “Who is the Creator?”
According to the measure to which a person has reached this question, he can accordingly grow, inclining either to the side of Pharaoh or to the side of the Creator. If we are already given the possibility to ask “Who is the Creator?” more and more each time, and despite the unpleasant and hard‑to‑bear sensations, we still again and again ask it and, on its basis, advance, then we accordingly rise to a higher degree.
Therefore, the question “Who is the Creator?” never arises in secular or religious people. It cannot even be placed before them. Only to those who must advance in personal connection with the Creator does He send this question, so that a person will know exactly what he wants, which particular quality he must attain, and to what he must become similar in order to draw closer to this quality.
Therefore, all the obligations, all the burdens in observing the laws, in fulfilling the conditions established by our teachers, which are called “commandments,” are for us so far only indications: “This is how it happens, and that is all.”
Why “this is how”? Because you do not yet feel any taste in them. You are not yet allowed to see what is contained inside, since your will to receive would immediately take it for itself. And then all your work would be deprived of advancement, of elevation above Malchut and of aspiration toward the nine first Sefirot.

The holiday of Lag Ba’Omer (the 33rd day of the Omer) is celebrated in honor of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, the author of The Book of Zohar, who passed away on this day.
In The Book of Zohar, in the chapter “Idra Zuta,” portion “Ha’azinu,” the passing of Rabbi Shimon is described as follows: “For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore” (Psalm 133).
Rabbi Aba said, “Rabbi Shimon did not finish saying ‘life’ before his words subsided. And I wrote, and thought to write some more, but I did not hear.
I did not raise my head for the light was great and I could not look.
Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Aba took him from his place on the bed that is made like a ladder in order to raise him on his bed. The whole house was filled with fragrances. They lifted him to his bed, and only Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Aba served him.
After the bed left the house, it rose in the air, and fire was blazing before it. They heard a voice: “Come in and come and gather for the celebration of Rabbi Shimon”
The Zohar uses such vivid descriptions because it is written in the language of Midrash (allegory). But of course, it is not speaking of physical death, it speaks of the soul’s departure, which enters the state of the end of correction (Gmar Tikkun). That is why this is such a significant event, and why the entire system that includes his students receives such a special light.
It is not describing the death of a person, but rather the thinning of a spiritual Partzuf. First, the light enters and clothes the Partzuf, forming within it Ta’amim, Nekudot, Tagin, and Otiyot. The clothing of the light in the Partzuf and its departure make the vessel fit for use. In this way, the soul of Rabbi Shimon reaches its final action, its last degree, the collective end of correction. This is what The Zohar tells us.
All the other companions, the souls that depended on him and emerged from his Partzuf, which was filled with light and was now releasing it, then received all the light that departed from him. These were the ones who were attached to him, connected to him, who participated in the drawing of the light, and in its departure.
The departure of a Kabbalist means that all the light he had drawn into his soul together with his students, and accumulated for the sake of all humanity, is now being released and transmitted to all other souls. Now this light becomes like a glow, a surrounding light, which he bestows upon others. His departure symbolizes this transmission of light.
That is why we celebrate this day with such joy, because we have received this upper light, called “Zohar,” which is capable of correcting all souls, uniting them, and raising each one to the level of the Creator.
This is why this day is called the Festival of Light, the light that returns us to our source, the light of correction. Each person must ask themselves: “Am I truly using this light?”
This light has been given to us, but are we using it, and are we realizing our potential through it? That is what it means to take part in the celebration of Lag Ba’Omer.

The Light At The Threshold Of Revelation
The path of the Torah is such that in every state you are given a chance (through various means like the group, books, and study) to advance toward the recognition of evil. Through study, you draw the “allure of holiness” upon yourself.
You begin to sense, at least a little, that there is such a thing as bestowal. From this, you feel yourself sinking ever more deeply into slavery, in Egypt. That is why it is said that the longer the sons of Israel remained in Egypt, the more they felt they were enslaved.
Eventually, you reach a state where the gap (the tension) between that “allure of holiness” you received from above and your current state, your actual qualities, becomes so great that you feel you must escape this state at any cost. You want to run from it, but you don’t know how.
Why did the Creator arrange this feeling of contradiction within you? It is so that for the first time, you would turn to Him and establish a connection with Him. The sons of Israel did not want a connection with the Creator. Even at the giving of the Torah, they did not aspire to address the Creator directly; instead, they asked Moses to speak with the Creator and then relay what was said to them.
The need for connection with the Creator is not inherent in human nature because such a connection places obligations on a person and feels burdensome. It comes only through the light that descends upon a person during study.
This light determines the next state, the tension, the measure of recognition of evil. A person cannot leave their state on their own, but the light gives them the strength to turn to the Creator with a request. There is no other means.

Question: Why is it that our group, which exerts tremendous effort in study and in everything possible, is still not at the level that, seemingly, corresponds to its efforts?
Answer: I look at it completely differently.
We exist within a system called the soul of Adam HaRishon. We are a part of this soul, united across all countries by one goal, which is to lead many people, if not everyone, forward. We have no right to focus solely on ourselves.
If what is currently placed upon me is to lead several million people, then until I have the strength to do so, I, because I am connected with them, will not be able to advance even a millimeter. Therefore, one should not check whether I have advanced. That millimeter of progress will come only when I have the strength to lead all those millions of people, down to the very last person. Then I will advance.
For now, one should measure progress by how much strength I have gained to lead yet more people, and then even more. And although I have still not advanced forward even a millimeter, I am constantly accumulating strength. Those millions are beginning to awaken; they are becoming capable of moving.
If you say, “Where is the progress? Look how much effort I have invested!” you are approaching this with the wrong measure. Indeed, I have not advanced, but what has been invested has remained within me. I have already acquired these forces; they are within me.
There is a vast number of souls ready to join me, and they are joining. This is all the result. You simply do not want to see it; you are looking at the fact that there is still no visible progress. Correct, I would not say that there is.
There is, but it is extremely subtle, and of course, it does not correspond to the level we would be entitled to reach were we acting alone. But what can be done? I do not calculate how I would advance if I were alone. It does not depend on me, and it is not my function.
Should I simply retreat to commune with the Creator, and that’s it? A person does not choose the time or the state in which they exist or the actions they must perform.
Indeed, we see that this is precisely what is happening: every day dozens, if not hundreds, of people around the world join us. The world is moving toward a state where we will soon see the collective stance people adopt and the attitude to life they embrace; they will all become clear. Within a few years, you will see how everyone already understands you, even if you have done nothing for it. Of course, it’s not that you have done nothing; you are investing your efforts today, and somehow it reaches them. This is the tangible result of our efforts.
So, I do not attempt to evaluate our progress by examining some isolated minute sector, it is impossible to measure this that way. On the other hand, we must be sensitive to it; we must not fall into despair from the fact that we are, seemingly, treading water. We are not treading water. The fact that you continue to publish books, produce films, deliver lessons and lectures, and organize more groups—all of this is having an effect.
Nevertheless, we cannot measure the spiritual level that is destined for us, because until we have guided a specific number of people from the global community, until we have gathered a certain critical mass, we will not be able to rise to that higher plane.

Question: Where will further evolution go? There are signs that it is reversing itself and that degradation is setting in. Some believe that man has already reached the limit of its material evolution, and will continue to develop primarily in the cultural and social fields. What kind of future awaits us?
Answer: It is true; human development is shifting to a new level, one that transcends the physiological and material realms. The evolutionary forces that have brought us to our present state have been pushing us toward more and more advanced forms all the time.
Now we are on the threshold of a new, advanced form that we cannot yet discern. It entails the transition from existence defined by the sensation of matter, that is, the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human world in which we currently exist, to the world of forces.
This is a world governed by a force that controls our perception of reality. In this world, matter as such does not exist at all; there is only a force that presents its various levels to us in this specific guise. It seems to us as though we observe inanimate matter, plants, animals, and people, but all these are merely our sensations of the universal force of nature that draws its various attributes within us.
In reality, there is nothing before us except this force that projects a special “movie” inside us. We perceive it through forms that help us understand it. In essence there is only one force of bestowal that affects the overall force of creation, the force of receiving.
The entirety of modern human development—technological, cultural, educational, and all the miasma of the modern world—is designed precisely to lead us to the feeling that we are acting in a world of forces, not material forms.
We will understand and feel that the whole world is being constructed within us. We are merely picking up some kind of “waves,” much like a computer captures a Wi-Fi signal and builds a picture from them within which we exist.
Humanity is on the verge of a momentous transition into a new era. There have been many abrupt transitions from one era to another throughout history, but there has never been such a revolutionary one as this. This leap is taking place within our perception, within an evolution we are going through by our own conscious choice. We are no longer just a material in the hands of a sculptor; we are actively participating in our own development.
This new evolution that we are destined to go through cannot be realized without our active participation. It is entirely up to us when this transition will take place. And should we fail to take this step ourselves, the forces of nature will compel us to do so, like a blister that has matured and is bound to burst.
That is why we currently feel such intense pressure from nature that is compelling us to accept this mission, to understand and feel where we are and what our future form should be that we must realize for ourselves.
