The Point of Adhesion with the Creator

237Our work is to be constantly in adhesion with the Creator. We are given a point, something that does not depend on us, and from it we begin our work.

The point is our reality in the state of infinity, perfection, and eternity. But from the state of infinity, we sense only this point; we passionately desire something and feel that something is missing. But we are missing only a point, and this is not a real desire. From within this state, a person must reach the emptiness in their vessels in order to be filled with all the light of NRNHY in the final correction.

All our work is an effort to remain constantly focused on the revelation of infinity. This means complete adhesion with the Creator, contained in the words “There is none else besides Him,” and this is what we must aspire to. All obstacles are intended only to push us in various directions of our spiritual character: pride and fear, various sensations and thoughts brought to us by the Klipot.

The Klipot seem to want to pull us away from this point. And we must strive to return to it despite the contradictions that pull us in different directions. Suppose a Klipa pulls me ten centimeters to the  right,that is, it gives me a foreign thought, a lack of confidence. Despite this, I must return to the central point, because there is the point of adhesion with the Creator. If I do this, I already expand my state by ten centimeters to the right.

Then I have a disturbance ten centimeters to the left, or downward, or upward—it doesn’t matter how, in different directions from this center—and in this way I build a Sefira. It is precisely the Klipot that give me the matter from which I build an empty vessel out of the point. And together with receiving the disturbance, I fill this emptiness with adhesion.

It turns out that from that point I begin to expand into a small Sefira, then more and more, until I receive all the disturbances, overcome them, and adhere—despite them or together with them—in uninterrupted adhesion (Zivug) with the Creator. And this will be called that I have completed my work and reached final correction.

It follows that the Klipa helps me grow and also guards me during my growth. Therefore, we should not be afraid of foreign thoughts and all kinds of disturbances. They awaken in us in accordance with our current state, and with their help we advance and build future states—our future. It is not that these disturbances pull us backward; on the contrary, they give us the opportunity to advance forward to the same degree.

This is the difference between working for the sake of the Creator and working for one’s own sake. All the wisdom lies in how to use the desire to receive. Kabbalah is the science of using the desire to receive, that is, the Klipot, the disturbances, whereas other methods fear them, teaching a person to prevent disturbances, to run away from them, rather than to use them.
