Why Calling Lorde a ‘Bigot’ Won’t Earn Israel Any PR Points… and What Will
“Instead of trying to tell those who resent Israel that they are wrong, we should first explain to ourselves where these sentiments truly come from.” @BINAlerts BrakingIsraelNews #lorde #israel
Besides corporeal, Torah/Commandments exist on a higher level. It is said: I have created #Evil (ego) & the Torah for its Light (force) to correct Evil to Good, similar to Creator (love), bring everyone to the Torah’s main law: Love your neighbor. This is actualized from hatred.
Controlling one’s #spiritual life means to strengthen the connection between people in the group, step by step, drawing the surrounding light (the Torah), until the Upper Force (the Creator) begins to reveal between them.
Nature’s Program: to create and develop man to the Creator’s level. We’re entering the final stage of our development. The universal #crisis will force us to cease development in our world and transition to developing an anti-egoistic connection on the level of the Upper World.
One receives an aspiration for higher knowledge, Creator’s revelation. But it hinges on being similar to Creator, quality of love/bestowal. If one doesn’t want to exert, one makes up excuses for leaving Kabbalah, as he must justify himself for abandoning the path to the Creator!
Rabbi Nachman: Where scientists’ research ends, Kabbalists’ research begins. Baal HaSulam: The spiritual doesn’t pertain to corporeal sciences or philosophy, for they do not attain or sense it. Hence, we need only the Kabbalists’ #knowledge.
Correction of the #soul: if one aspires to unity but discovers that he is unable to unite, the ego won’t let him, the impossibility of achieving unity/love/bestowal is revealed to him. This sensation of the soul’s breaking, the record of the breaking, is called RESHIMO.
Our #world is false, illusory, appearing as physical bodies instead of souls (intentions). But only the intentions exist. To the extent they’re similar to the Creator, intention to unite into the common creation, Adam, we sense Him. The world of intentions is the Upper World.

Question from Facebook: You are always talking about the egoism of Jews, about the Jews being chosen to bring all nations to the love of others. But we are not that bad. We help each other in military conflicts, we sympathize with those who are victims of terrorism. Our military helps everyone. Right now we are saving people’s lives in other countries. What else is required of us?
Answer: The thing is, if we are choosing how to act according to our own understanding of what is “good” and what is “bad,” then, ultimately, we will achieve nothing. We see that the nations of the world continue to hate us more and more, no matter how good we are. We can help other nations, but they don’t take that into consideration and do not welcome it, they take it for granted.
It’s true, we try to get along with each other, and we fight to protect our country, our nation, our land. But all of this is merely self-preservation: I do good not for others, but for myself, for my children. That’s why none of this counts as altruism; it is not what is referred to when we speak about the quality of bestowal and love of others. This is simply self-preservation, an absolutely clear egoistic action.
Therefore, I urge you to understand what it really means to “love your neighbor as yourself,” what altruism is, what nature demands of us, in what manner it wants us to start interacting with each other; then all will be different.
We cannot live like the rest, because first of all, I don’t even see that the rest are living so peacefully. It is not pleasant for them either. But because we are responsible for the overall correction of the world, there is a special calculation with us. It is demanded that we settle the account first and to a greater extent than all the rest.

New Life #776 – The Secret Of The Eternity Of The Jewish Nation
The Nations Of The World Are Telling The Jews: “Do Your Job!”
Torah, Deuteronomy 32:44 – 32:47: And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song into the ears of the people he and Hoshea the son of Nun. And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel. And he said to them, “Set your hearts to all of the words which I bear witness for you this day, so that you may command your children to observe to do all the words of this Torah. For it is not an empty thing for you, for it is your life, and through this thing, you will lengthen your days upon the land to which you are crossing over the Jordan, to possess it.”
Moses, as if, appeals to the people: “Take this as your goal, method, plan, and program to compose your entire life.
Enter the program that will bring you to the goal of creation. Otherwise it will take you thousands of years with wars and tremendous suffering, something that is undesirable in your eyes and mine. Either way, you will still have to fulfill what is bequeathed in this book.”
This sounds like a farewell message, like a father’s words: “Listen to me and everything will be good.”

Question: Is it precisely through contradictions—that it is possible to enjoy the Creator even though he is intangible—that one can attain the correct sensation of the Creator?
Answer: From the egoistic characteristics, it is impossible to imagine the opposite characteristics.
Question: Regarding the statement that the Creator does not exist and there is nobody to enjoy, if I don’t feel the Creator yet and if I will direct myself toward Him as if I can give Him joy with my effort and yearning for Him, then with such an attitude can I engage in the wisdom of Kabbalah?
Answer: A person can study Kabbalah with a wide range of intentions, especially with the intention to bring Him joy.

“Holiday” is a luminescence of the upper world. The Hebrew for holiday – Hag – stems from the word “arrow” (Mahog) and “circle” (Hug). Unlike our world, the spiritual is devoid of time-space-motion, has only descents & ascents in love & bestowal. The Upper Light determines dates
Chafetz Chaim: Creation is loved by the Creator when ppl r united without envy or enmity, each wants good 4 others. Then the Creator is pleased with his actions. Thus “Love your neighbor, I am the Creator” is actualized. If you love another as yourself the Creator is in you both
Dear friends. I wish you all a Happy New Year, to reveal the Creator in our common unity, for everyone to attain the meaning of life in health and in peace.
Vilna Gaon: You begin studying #Torah from its secret part, SOD, Torah of the world of Assiya where the Creator is fully concealed. Then you study the revealed Torah, REMEZ (world of Yetzira) etc. until Torah of the world Atzilut, PSHAT, for it is free of Creator’s concealment.
A Kabbalist’s joy is the chance to fill others & through them, the Creator. I cannot bestow to/receive from Him directly. Joy is when you give yourself to the group & in it discover the connection to Creator. Together, you-group-Creator meet in the group (Shechinah). #kabbalah
#Israel is founding an organization to clarify Israel’s actions. It’s an old, naive notion. Kabbalah says that hatred toward Jews is natural, and will only change when the Jews show an example of unity for the world to follow. This is their historic mission.

Before us is a wonderful year—a year of further human awakening. I ask you to prepare yourselves to be its teachers. It depends on you.
You will look ahead, you will learn how to approach people correctly, how to properly explain to them what nature is leading us to, what we must do take advantage of this moment, this situation correctly, to rise to the next higher and eternal level of nature.
By leaving the framework of material life, we will begin to feel an eternal and perfect life and exist on a spiritual plane where our lives are no longer evaluated according to the state our body feels.
We must reach this state and explain to all people that the wisdom of Kabbalah is leading us to this state. Let us reach this state together. We do not need to change anything or limit ourselves in any way. We need only one thing—to establish the right connections between us and then within them, precisely in the spaces between us, we will begin to discover the higher state.
I wish you health and tremendous mutual love between you so that we will spread our warmth throughout the world, and the whole world will come together around us, and all of us will rise together, like on a magic carpet, to the next level.

Question: Do Kabbalists ever have nervous breakdowns or emotional overload? How do they cope with them?
Answer: Frankly, a Kabbalist is a regular person who divides his existence into two parts: the animate and the spiritual.
In the animate part of him, a Kabbalist has to do whatever is necessary for his body. Give it food, sex, family, knowledge, power, envy, jealousy—meaning, everything the body needs to function normally in order to advance into the upper world.
A Kabbalist must not only satisfy his animate desires (food, sex, and family), but also must study other sciences and take care of himself financially so he does not become a burden on society. In everyday life, he is the most ordinary person that can be. Kabbalists are not simple individuals.
The only thing you can tell by looking at them is that their whole lives are devoted only to carrying out their spiritual obligations.

Question: How does a Kabbalist analyze what has been swept through him?
Answer: The Kabbalist should justify everything that happened to him during the years of life. All of this has been done by the Creator, there is none else besides Him, and He is only good who does good.
From this moment onward, he must try to be connected with the Creator in all of his actions, and in whatever happens to him—the best, the worst, no matter what—he still does not part from the Creator.
Disconnecting from the Creator is the greatest punishment of man in the world!
