Live in the Reality of “None Else Besides Him”

294.1We live in a reality where “There is no one but the Creator,” the question is only how much we realize, feel, and implement this, and how much we advance in this recognition. We can simply say that “There is none else besides Him” ​​and everything is done from above, by the Creator, by the upper force, and rest on that, that is, not attach any special significance to it.

Or we can bless the Creator for the bad as if we would bless Him for the good in any situation that happens to a person, group, nation or the whole world, in happy and unhappy times. After all, all sensations pass through our desire to receive, and if we were corrected, we would see only good emanating from one force that is “good that does good.”

But if we are not corrected yet, then the upper force brings us closer to correcting our egoism, and therefore constantly reveals our disagreement with the absolutely good upper governance and with our only source to us; there is nothing else; there is one single upper force.

Day by day, informational genes (Reshimot) are revealed in us. They are personal and common to all those who wish to advance toward the truth. Therefore, every day we discover more and more obstacles to the affirmation of this principle. These obstacles must be accepted with love, although this is extremely difficult, and we must understand that everything comes from one source.

These obstacles require the proper attitude from us. Of course, in our egoism we would like to cancel these obstacles. But on the other hand, the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us that they are sent specifically to help us advance toward the desired state and to establish above all the obstacles the principle: “There is none else besides the Creator, the good that does good.”

The only means to establish this principle is uniting according to the law of love for one’s neighbor, when “love will cover all crimes.”

As we strive to unite, it will be increasingly revealed to us that all obstacles come from one source of absolute good. “There are no villains in the king’s palace,” but in order to teach us, the king conceals himself and sends his messengers to us, who introduce themselves as thieves and robbers. We must try to see the upper hand through them and fight them in such a way as to come closer to the one force that is good and does good.

This means that our life is truly inseparable from “There is none else besides Him.” Day after day we must increasingly affirm that in everything that happens to us, there is none but the Creator, and not just declare it in words, but implement the law of love for one’s neighbor as for oneself within the group (ten).

Then we will see how much these means, the shattering of desires and their connection in bestowal and love between us, bring us closer to the Creator. Thanks to them, we receive a common force that allows us to come closer to Him and give Him a place within us where He can reign.

Link the Creator and the Ten

938.07Question: Is the descent given to me for individual work or work in the ten? Is one obliged to turn to the ten not to deprive it of the opportunity to work at a given moment?

Answer: That is right. A person should turn to the ten, turn to the Creator, in order to connect his friends together through himself.

When he feels he is succeeding, he should proceed to the next operation. And the next series of steps is when he is already striving to discover himself in the Creator.

Question: How do I know if I am helping the Creator?

Answer: It depends on your constant desire. If you want to feel the Creator all the time and help Him, you will eventually be given this opportunity.

Avoid Closing Yourself Off in Prayer

942Question: On one hand, you say we need to take action: “Since you created me with certain qualities, give me the strength to pray.” But I am afraid I might do something wrong and harm myself. Guide me properly so that I do not close off in prayer and so I can convey its essence to the ten.

Answer: Get together with your friends and begin to briefly describe your state so as not to lose the path you are charting.

Once you manage to do this, select excerpts from prayers which are the most appropriate for your state, with all the additions. Incorporate your requests into this prayer. You will see how everything turns out well.

Question: Does the strength of a prayer depend on the root of the soul?

Answer: The strength of a prayer depends only on a person’s inner root. In general, when something is truly revealed in Kabbalah, it is revealed much more simply and more comprehensively. The main thing is not to give up, to study, write questions, and refer to the source.

How Can We Renew the Strength of the Ten?

938.03Question: We were greatly impressed by the unity at the convention. Now we are back home. There are burning impressions inside, but something has changed. How can we renew the strength of the ten under the new conditions after the convention so that we can truly achieve a real ascent to the Creator?

Answer: I would advise you to correspond more frequently between the tens and constantly strive to rise.

We have already formed an impressive spiritual community. It is mostly you. There are 20 to 30 more people who did not attend for various reasons. So draw closer to us, join in, and we will help each other. I do not see any significant problems in our advancement.

How Is the Inner Impression Formed?

The inner impression is the result of our desire to connect with the Creator. As it is written, we need to make an effort to be in connection: “Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one.” We must yearn to grasp hold of the Creator through actions that He advises us to perform.

These actions exist above the barrier, but similar actions also exist below the barrier. The sum of all the actions we undertake to prepare our vessels to go above the barrier is called “from Lo Lishma to Lishma,” “the maidservant of holiness,” and so on.

Where Should We Start the Scrutiny?

222Question: We need to scrutinize our states when we do not understand what to do. Where should we begin these scrutinies?

Answer: Begin with the desire to feel the Creator: how He influences me, how I can influence Him, and how we can come closer to each other.

In essence, there is only one question. But when you start breaking it down into many sub-questions, it turns out that we actually have an entire system that can do this. And that is exactly what we do.

Feel Contact with the Creator

237Question: Is the most important thing always to seek alignment of intentions? Does an ascent happen only when contact with the Creator occurs?

In the process of spiritual work, sometimes you catch this contact, but then it disappears, you catch it again, and it disappears. Sooner or later, should this lead to a permanent adhesion with Him, or will these disconnections always happen?

Answer: The disconnections must happen in order to disturb you so that you do not become certain that you will always have contact with the Creator so that you will naturally move beyond the perception of only this world and begin to feel the upper world. Therefore, our entire task is to rise above ourselves and enter the feeling of the Creator.

A person always receives the opportunity to ascend one degree higher than before. We must be prepared for this: I want to feel it in my heart and my mind so that I can truly experience contact with the Creator.

Question: Does awe increase as you get closer to this?

Answer: Usually yes.

How Should We Regard the Past Convention?

214Question: How should we regard the past convention, as a foundation for the future work of the ten or as returning to some pleasant moments? I am afraid that one might get stuck in this.

Answer: Of course, one can get stuck, that is obvious.

The most important thing is the constant and increasingly precise determination of the ultimate goal. That comes first.

Secondly, we must always determine to what extent the ten I am in is pushing through the distance between me and the Creator. At the very least, this.
