We must seek out such changes that will bring us to the awareness of evil, the darkness between us. What does it mean that “we awaken the dawn” (the darkness before the dawn)? I reveal the blackness, the darkness, the deficiency in our relationships, which I had not seen earlier because of the strength of old habits.

But I became uncomfortable as a result of the changes that were made. This does not mean, however, that I quit, that I no longer come. In awakening the dawn, we create the place for the prayer, we learn to turn to the Creator. It is the only thing we need: to clarify the deficiency related to the path, then we ask, we demand the correction from the Creator, for Him to advance us.

We will find ourselves in such states that we cannot change or correct by ourselves. But we will discover exactly what needs to be corrected, what is happening to us. On the path of “hastening time” (Achishena), we must look for the darkness ourselves, like the hunched over old man who walks and searches as if he lost something. We must awaken the dawn ourselves, learn to walk by ourselves, like a toddler learns to take his first steps.

The goal is to come to a prayer for the Creator for help. We can accelerate it if we draw the dawn closer ourselves, revealing the darkness before the Light, the deficiency. The feeling of the deficiency is already a prayer and it may become so strong that we receive an answer from the Creator and enter into dialog with Him, as it is written: “I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me.”

This is a new and a very important stage: to teach us the correct relationship to destiny and the correct use of the upper force. This is the path by which we enter the work in Achishena, when we are no longer just pulled forward or pushed from behind, but we ourselves initiate and formulate our steps.

Changes reveal the problem that was hidden inside. The usual shortcomings become invisible and that is why they have no chance of correction. But when these disturbances are suddenly revealed, they trigger a prayer to the Creator for help, to which there is a reaction from above. We raise MAN to the Creator and receive MAD from Him. These are already actions connecting us with the Creator, revealing contact with Him.¹

Question: Does my longing for feeling spirituality and the Creator become stronger or weaker with time?

Answer: The yearning for the Creator grows. Until one reaches spirituality, one’s desire for it constantly increases, in confusion and misunderstanding.

Question: Do I accept the growing yearning with joy?

Answer: There are different nuances here that you will no longer notice and you will stop paying attention to them.

Naturally, there are all kinds of circumstances in the group: sad ones, funny ones, annoying ones, and so on. But friends have to understand that if they are in a tense internal state, then they have to go through it all, and that they still have a lot ahead of them.

Today is the 17th of Tamuz —the beginning of the Temple’s destruction. Grieving means feeling pain in your heart due to our horrible relationships! Every day that the Temple isn’t resurrected means we would destroy it today just as well! It’s our state that we must grieve about!

The states of the upper world descend to the material one and take shape in it. Through to today, all the upper events have materialized in our world, except for correction. Hence, we live in a generation destined to correct the ego-nature and reveal the upper world.

Differences are necessary to establish balance and unity.
The rule for overcoming differences:
-no one is right,
-the right decision lies in the sides rising above the differences. Mutual guarantee makes it possible to rise above the revealing differences without stopping.

Faith above reason is a spiritual state where one feels this world’s evil influence on him, but accepts it as coming from the Creator and hence reacts to the evil by turning to the Creator, so the suffering doesn’t obstruct the Creator from him, but rather leads him to adhesion.

The oppositeness itself points to how you can reach adhesion.

The Creator reveals the breaking so that you could rejoice by correcting flaws by becoming like Him. There’s no evil in the world, there’s the chance to become like the Creator! You rejoice that He has created you as opposite.

We are witnessing the downfall of all #government, #financial and #social systems. In the past, new systems were conceived and developed from the existing systems. But that’s not happening this time. Therefore, a fundamentally new system is about to be born!

Egoism is a force that deliberately hinders the soul’s correction. It can only be corrected by the upper light. Thus the whole spiritual path comes down to prayer, entreating the Creator to correct us. Egoism compels us to turn to the Creator. It’s the Creator’s angel!

Question: If all my thoughts and actions are from the Creator, then what is my role? How do I not prevent the Creator from doing his job?

Answer: Unite. Connect with the Creator in all His acts.  A person’s whole life is built on his tuning to constant revelation of the Creator, no matter how it manifests.

By this you do not interfere. On the contrary, you help the Creator reveal Himself in you. You give Him pleasure.

Question: In the corporeal world, we always have all kinds of needs and are trying to fulfill them. In the spiritual world, on the contrary, there are an abundance of pleasures and I only need to develop a desire for them within myself. Is this so?

Answer: You imagine the spiritual world as a store that has an abundance of everything, but you have no appetite for it. As if you are sick and have no desire for anything and there are plenty of pleasures.

Question: Then how can one imagine the abundance of spiritual life?

Answer: There is no such abundance before it is attained. There is an unlimited opportunity to fulfill others. This is not prohibited in any way. However, you must acquire special tools for this, desires.

When you begin to fulfill others, you will also receive from the Creator in order to give contentment to others, otherwise you will have nothing to give them. Therefore, you become an intermediary link between the Creator and others, and the pleasure passes through you.

Question: Why do I fulfill the desires of others my whole life and empathize with them, but I do not feel any Creator?

Answer: It is because you do this for yourself. In this case, you remain an egoist—that is the problem.

Question: Is it possible to feel the upper Light to such an extent that I will begin to be healed in this world?

Answer: It is possible, but no one can promise. It is not easy.

The upper Light corrects absolutely everything at all levels: physical, moral, psychological, etc. But we still cannot purposefully influence this. The time will come when you will gain a little experience and see that Kabbalah can really do everything.

Question: On the other hand, you claim that one cannot ask for himself. Or are there cases when you can ask for yourself?

Answer: If a person is unable to engage in the higher spiritual work because something hinders him, he can ask to rise above these disturbances.

Remark: Over the many years of practicing Kabbalah, we have studied the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash dozens of times. The most interesting thing is that remembering almost every line by heart, you understand that as a result, you do not know anything. On one hand, it is amazing, but on the other hand, it is frightening.

My Comment: This happens because our abilities to analyze the text, to include it in ourselves, change. Therefore, each time everything seems completely new, on a new level. This is the property of Kabbalistic texts and of those who read them.

Remark:  Rabash did not finish any literary institute, did not study the rules of writing articles, but expressed himself very clearly, according to the rules of the genre.

My Comment: This is not surprising to me because a person who feels the inner meaning of nature, its laws and their current, writes in accordance with this. All the laws of logic, all the points of the coup already exist in him.

In the same way, it seems to playwrights that they make the rules for writing literary works, but in fact, they also act out their inner desires, perhaps not yet corrected but in some ways already developed.

Gradually, we will understand that real playwriting lies in spirituality. It is precisely the attainment of spiritual properties that will bring out literature and any expressions of human relations to the level of truth.
