The knife that cleanses the body of the ego
Is importance of the Creator.
Remove the peel—and bond with Him.
The conditions of coming out to the light are hidden
1,000 enter, but only 1 comes out
How?—Be attractive to the Creator!
Peel the ego off of you
Like removing peel from a fruit on Passover
Then you will be free!
“The monster will swallow and spew out”
After that, man
Will be able to correct it.
Does the Creator make mistakes?
The Light is at absolute rest—
So it cannot err!
Most important is to lose yourself!
Instead of yourself, you’ll acquire others,
In them, you’ll feel the world and the Creator
We’ll turn the guards’ hindrances into a bond
With prayer—then we won’t lose the friends
And will reach the summit
Since Abraham’s times
We lose friends at each degree!
That’s how the Head of the Soul is created
Moses fled his brethren’s snitching
For killing the Egyptian
Inside himself…
The aim of global development is revelation of the One Good Force, the Creator, in unity of nations. This depends on unity of Jews—vehicles of the Creator’s revelation to the world. If #Jews are passive, they’ll be pressured by the nations until they fulfill their mission.
As mankind develops, it reaches despair and instinctively blames Abraham’s group for its miseries. The more developed the nations of the world are, the more they complain, demanding that the Jews fulfill their preordained mission.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah #Israeli
My sons have defeated me:
By their unity, they’ve forced me
To be revealed in them!
We unite—Creator is closer.
We separate—Creator is farther.
This determines life!
The Creator is a concealed field
By uniting, we enter it,
And blend with it.
The Creator stood me up, like a baby
In front of Him. Waiting for me to take a step.
I stagger and cry …
How much to take from the treasury of the Creator?—
As much as you can give to the friends.
It is the fulfillment of the soul.
Reflected light sparkles,
striking out of desire the sparks of light and love.
#life #quote
I learn from the ego to be a faithful servant of the Creator.
When I learn from it, I’ll become like the Creator!
Great wisdom: to grow under the skin of selfishness
Fruit—the desire for love and bestowal.
To peel away, after it matures.
#success #Motivation
Our #world has become unsuitable to live in.
But it needn’t be corrected—
Let’s rise to the upper world!
In exile we feel growing distance between us and bestowal, the Creator’s greatness, in order to experience the exile and strive to come out of it. Therefore, exile ends in the sense of total debility and despair! This is the end of the exile—Egyptian darkness!
Building the Creator’s greatness is a lifetime’s work. All of my inherent qualities exist only for this. The image of the Creator’s greatness is the image of my #soul. The soul is the form of the group, 10 Sefirot, and its filling is the greatness of the Creator, upper light.
Sensation of the Creator’s greatness lies in constant thought about Him, like a mother who must leave her baby, but her heart stays with it. Likewise, we’re always with the Creator. His greatness determines this state. On the priorities scale, nothing can compare to Him.
#Passover is realization of the Creator’s greatness. Inasmuch as we increase the sensation of His greatness between us, that’s how much we will advance. If one’s life is guided by the Creator’s greatness, he never errs. All his states will be stages of spiritual progress.
To clean the husk of intentions off myself—
Barriers to unite with the group—
The condition of breaking through to Him. Pesach!
The Creator’s greatness gives pleasure
In ridding oneself of the evil-Pharaoh
Though the notion of fleeing isn’t clear…
Even being born with a point in the heart
You are one of thousands entering the class
Will you complete it? Only if the Creator wishes it.
The impulse to destroy the ego is that same ego!
The right way is to turn to the Creator
On your own you’ll only double it!
49 impure gates close us in the group,
50th turns evil to love.
All the gates reveal the Creator’s greatness.
What a gift to be born with a point in the heart—
It’s the Creator giving me a chance!
How do I not miss it? I worry…
Humanity doesn’t know #Israel’s mission and why it hates #Jews.
Concealment from above is in force.
Throughout #history, Abraham’s group also forgot this mission and didn’t understand why others hate them.
But #AntiSemitism will disappear when the Creator’s plan is implemented
Abraham’s group attained unity (1st Temple). It then fell into hatred—fall of the 1st and 2nd Temples. Then for 2,000 years it mingled with the nations. Now the nation of Israel is starting to unite, followed by all nations. The nation of Israel must correct humanity.
#Antisemitism
The aim of global development is revelation of the One Good Force, the Creator, in unity of #nations. This depends on unity of #Jews—vehicles of the Creator’s #revelation to the world. If Jews are passive, they’ll be pressured by the nations until they fulfill their mission.
The ego is a monster, devouring all my efforts
Then disgorging them at once
Turning them from reception to bestowal, to my joy!
The ego stems from the Creator
It isn’t harmful, but only if used
Why it’s called “help against self”
#EGO #Egoist #consciousness
The ego devours, #competition begets #wars
I know how to give everyone EVERYTHING
And not at the expense of others

My Thoughts On Twitter, 4/7/18
We must try to attribute everything that comes to us—everything we feel, that is awakened in the mind and in the heart, the whole world around us—to a single force, besides which there is nothing else.
Everything comes from this good and benevolent force, for the sole purpose of us connecting everything that happens to this single source, and in so doing, revealing Him.
If we attribute everything to a single upper force, then we cease to control our actions, thoughts, and desires, since all our thoughts and desires, all our efforts, are aimed only at annulling ourselves, clearing a space for “there is none else besides Him.”
And then we reveal Him in the desire to bestow, in new sensory organs, in the qualities of Bina. So that even if we don’t have a shirt, we don’t need it—only to have self-annulment that allows us to reveal the Creator.

In Tandem With The Creator
Turning To The Creator
We value such states when we are full of strength, knowledge, feelings, energy, happiness, and inspiration. But we do not take into account that all this comes to us from Above, from the Light. When the Light disappears and the Creator does not give all this from Above but requires us to do our own work from below, so that we ourselves will place Him to rule over us becoming His people, then we organize ourselves as the people chosen by the Creator.
And this work is done exactly in such states when we feel ourselves insignificant, empty, sleepy, with a deaf heart, powerless to do something because of the feeling of heaviness in the soul and in the whole body. It is then that we have an opportunity to perform the “awakening from below” without the “awakening from Above” in order to become the people of the Creator.*

Man And The Creator Without Intermediaries
To act “Lishma” means with the force of faith. That is, being in concealment I do not see and do not understand anything, and specifically this allows me to rise above this world, above my knowledge, above primitivity, limited in relation to the spiritual mind. Therefore, we need some sort of lifting mechanism to be able to move to another level of existence and perception of reality.
To rise to another dimension, exit the familiar three-dimensional coordinate system, free ourselves from its limitations, and move to a new, wider perception of reality, we need new instruments of perception that are called “faith above reason.”
It is impossible to understand with our earthy mind what it is, because we are incapable of existing in a non-dimensional space and seeing what disagrees with our internal program. Therefore, it is written, “Taste and see that the Creator is good.” This can be achieved only with the force of faith.*
With Gratitude to the Creator for the Creation
If a person advances to “Lishma” wishing to work with the force of faith above reason, with so-called “devotion of the soul,” then even before he reaches it, by just aspiring to it, he gives great contentment to the Creator. It is even greater than it will be afterward from his subsequent spiritual attainments.
It is like a baby who gives more pleasure to the father and mother than an adult child. After all, the adult acts with his mind, his calculations, and a baby—with his naïve devotion, which is very attractive and touches the parents.
Therefore, we should highly value the opportunity given to us even to simply talk, think, or read about spiritual concepts that are above our world. This is a great privilege. A lot of people come to this, try and leave. Moreover, they begin to slander this methodology.
People do not understand what harm they do to themselves by speaking poorly about Kabbalah. After all, the Creator purposely arranged all of creation, all the worlds, and a common soul in order to bring the creation to His degree. And they neglect this entire system, this method, all the conditions prepared from Above. It turns out that they strike out the entire creation created for them by the Creator.
If a person is simply not yet ready and knows nothing about Kabbalah, this is alright. But the one who has already been acquainted with it and has touched this wisdom and then left and began to slander it, by this he shows disregard for the Creator.**

New Life 965 – Spiritual Pioneering
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Tal Mandelbaum ben Moshe
Spiritual pioneers are those who want to bring love to everyone by attaining adherence to the Higher Force. It is here that the Shechina dwells, the network of communication that is built between us from the connection of our hearts and desires. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains how to achieve this great goal of existence. Rather than breaking stones in order to build a state as earlier pioneers did, spiritual pioneers must break their hearts in order to connect them to each other and to the Creator.

What’s secret in the world? Intentions.
What’s obvious in the world? Actions.
What do I strive to see?
#MondayMotivation #quotes #Society
The #ego makes everyone mingle with everyone (different nations) since ego must connect with other manifestations of ego. The law by which this relocation takes place is that broken desires must internally connect and mingle
#world #society
When people assemble in the group as equals,
By that they obligate the Creator
To rule them.
When people assemble in the group as equals,
Then by equivalence of form, they incite the upper mind
To rule them.
As you observe the external foes,
Reveal the foes inside—
And be victorious!
The condition for Israel’s existence
Is not enemies, #wars or victories—
But unity!
Pride of attainments
Reveals downfall of spirit
Victory of the Klipot…
#Israel #peace
Nothing can stop the world’s demise
Except revelation of Kabbalah—
Its upper Light!
Punishments don’t help, suffering doesn’t teach,
The #Holocaust is forgotten,
Correction comes only from the Light above!
If you don’t reveal the flaws in you,
They are revealed from outside—
Now choose…
Could it be that more harm comes from
Good deeds, than from bad ones,
Since the former distance us from realization of evil?
We don’t pass the Machsom
But are carried over it
By the tsunami wave of love for the Creator
When dying, you realize:
The point of all your life’s efforts—
Was to create emptiness…
For creatures, start and end are preset
But who will get there first:
Me or the Creator?
#Wisdom
Like a rectifier
I collect ascents and descents
Till dark shines as light!
To kill an Egyptian in you is to understand that there is no villain in the Royal Palace.
To kill an Egyptian is to accept descents as ascents and bring delight to the Creator with them.

How much to take from the treasury of the Creator?—

#quotesforlife #life
All are against Kabbalah with their egos.
And the one who tried to master it—is twice an enemy.
Because he realized what it is calling for.
Kabbalah is against our Ego.
It calls to destroy it.
How good it is that it’s hidden from people!
Inanimate will become a plant, a plant an animal-
If the Upper Light shines on them.
A beast will become a man
If it demands the Upper Light willingly.
An angel strikes and pushes every speck of creation to grow.
But I have to strike myself willingly. Like an angel?
The group as a mother’s womb, #Bina, the Creator
I am a drop of semen in it
In the world of bestowing myself to it, I grow
As it turns out, #EGO is present only in spiritual actions
And it arises only in #Kabbalists
I am happy that I, too, am an egoist…
PART II
But beware of touching Him
And then before you will rise up that special tower of Oz.
The truth like a miracle will shine upon you,
Only it will be spoken
And all that will be disclosed in the #revelation
Only You will see and none else
Baal HaSulam
PART I
The Radiant One shining from heights!
There, behind the screen
The secrets of the righteous are revealed
The light & darkness shine together.
How wonderful it is to know the #Almighty
Above egoism there’s no evil and good
Only perfection, Creator
There’s none besides Him
Eternity touches the soul
Awareness of evil:
first in the group “Isra-El”
Then with the whole world—in disillusionment with egoism.
Everything is ready for the meal with the Leviathan
Every day I await death and birth,
Desires to receive and bestow.
Life is beautiful!
The funeral team is the group.
The midwifery team is the group.
I am in their hands!
Toward the friend’s heart, I pave a path to the upper world
To the friend, it’s corporeal
To me, it’s spiritual. Connecting the worlds.
My attitude to the friend is intention
In the upper one, we are one whole
I wish him good for the sake of: myself, us, him, Him?
The higher the person grows from the level of beast,
The more the intention determines the essence of the action
Until there remains only the intention—the upper world.
#spirituality #evolution
I make efforts—
Otherwise, the world will shield the Creator from me.
I am drowning! Help!
When I plead, I feel the Creator close,
In #gratitude—I am distant.
Contradiction?
Teach me, show me, support me,
Change me—
And then I can do it myself!
#Selfdevelopment
#Prayer is my request
Ability to excite the Creator,
Help others
Lose time, place,
Sense of I—
Find life in the Creator
In the lesson
I hovered
In the field of #sensations
Of the ascending stream
Attraction and rejection—
Opposite forces—
Give birth to reason and #freedom
We have learned to take care of our bodies. And what do I exist for? Humanity has not yet received an answer to this question.
#MeaningOfLife
Kabbalah teaches us to replace the Ego with love.
So I hate it. I become an anti-Semite!
To kill oneself only an enemy wants to do.
To kill the beast in oneself—a Kabbalist’s dream.
Die, beast,—and become man.
Meeting with an old friend:
He works so people can live 150 years long.
I work so they can live forever.
Religion’s fathers hold a grudge against me—
Not at a yeshiva,
But in my own school I teach the craft of the Creator.
Part II:
#Suffering is a lack of connection between us,
Since the sensation of the Creator
Is in egoism’s shackles
#egoism
Part I:
By acquiring love for others,
You become their slave,
But are free from yourself!
Intention is connection with the end of an action.
Intention is the future in the present.
Live in it!
Part II:
Connection between us happens through the screen
The force of the screen is the extent of ascent
Above the #ego
Part I:
People are looking for #connection in the wrong place
Connection between us is possible
… but through the Creator
We’ll start to understand each other
When we connect through the Creator
And for the Creator’s sake
Why judge and repent?
Being punished by a reward
For not believing that the Creator does it all?
And do not blame anyone for anything.
In what you don’t agree with—recognize the Creator.
Let the light spread in your #soul.
#poetry #success #Kabbalah
If you adhere to the Creator, you will see your actions as perfect.
You will see that you haven’t done anything yourself,
That only the Creator did everything. There is none else beside Him!
