We Do not Know Ourselves

535.03Question: In the last decade, a branch was created in the theoretical exact sciences called the science of dark data.

It explores what the scientific approach should be to data sets that we are unable to comprehend but know that they exist and somehow, not very clearly how, affect us.

Here arises the following question. Throughout its development, humanity has not been able to precisely determine the boundary of what it can know up to a certain limit and what it cannot. It seems to move with blindfolded eyes. Why is it half-erased in human perception?

Answer: The reason is that we truly do not know ourselves and to the same extent we do not know the space, the volume, of information in which we exist. Therefore, only all kinds of speculation can take place here, and this is no longer science.

We just need to keep going with the same small steps that we are taking, and the future will gradually unfold more, and more, and more to us. Every day we still learn something new. So, although I am talking about the unknowable, I assume that this unknowable is knowable.

Question: Is cognition a sensation or some other sensation?

Answer: Cognition is the sensation of merging our inner world with something external, i.e., the connection of two planes, two perceptions.

Question: Is ideal cognition the inclusion of all reality in oneself or oneself in all reality?

Answer: But we have not realized this yet, so we are only talking about it theoretically.

Hasten the Process of Correction

527.03Question: My correction is a difficult and long path. I do not want to wait another 20 years to get to that. ​​What efforts should be made to hasten the process of correction?

Answer: If you think that the correction concerns only you, then you may have to wait another 2,000 years.

But if you think that the correction should be between you in the group, then you will very quickly feel what you need to do, and you will have time for everything.

Be Member of the Group, Not a Guest

528.01Comment: You say that the criteria of spiritual work is my good attitude toward my friends. For example, I rarely come to the group. It suits me as everyone is very nice to me. It turns out, a good attitude is an insufficient criterion.

My Response: This is because you are putting yourself in the position of a guest in this way.

Come to the group regularly and try to connect to your friends between lessons and get closer to the Creator through them. If you miss this opportunity, it goes to your disadvantage.

You must be connected to the ten and be ready to perceive any states you feel for the approval of the Creator. Then, you will constantly feel you can come closer to Him every minute.

With Good to Everyone

599.01Question: When I am in a group, everything is fine. I feel a state of sublimity, gratitude, love, and the presence of the Creator. But outside the group, in the surrounding world, everything is completely different. What is this condition?

Answer: This is how it should be in the world around us.

Comment: I feel that I am becoming angry, unresponsive to others, closed, and constrained.

My Response: At first this is the correct state. But you need to understand that this is the way this world is, and you are being shown its real quality. Yet, you still have to show your good attitude not only to your friends in the group, but also to everyone around you.

Question: Should this relationship be mutual or only the way the Creator wants them to be?

Answer: It must be good.

Experience Feelings Behind the Mechanics

209Question: In our group, everyone is very involved in the study of Pticha (Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah). But I personally do not feel it because this is the study of mechanics; I want some feelings and strengthening of the connection. If I have an aversion to Pticha, is it a state of descent or is it just not suitable for me?

Answer: Slowly return to Pticha and you will see that one day it will capture you and begin to reveal to you such things that you would like to listen to.

The fact that it is repelling you now does not matter. Try to experience the feelings behind these mechanics, and then it will capture you.

The State of Shabbat in Spiritual Work

237Question: What is Shabbat in our inner work at each degree?

Answer: The Sabbath (Shabbat) is a spiritual state when we rise above all our egoistic actions and intentions and reach a completely different level of relations with each other. Therefore, Shabbat is considered a day of rest from work, since we are no longer connected with egoism, but rise above it.

On Shabbat our spiritual work is completed by the Creator, from whom we receive the force of bestowal and love.

Question: What do we do on the Sabbath by ourselves?

Answer: We only ask the Creator to help us to be in bestowal and love. The state of Shabbat does not cancel our inner work. We must be careful not to fall from this level.

What Is the Truth?

294.3Question: What is more important in our work, truth or love, and what is the difference between them?

Answer: We must discover the truth and start loving it because it is the only thing that exists in nature and we need to connect with it.

Question: What should I do if I do not see this truth in the friends?

Answer: You have to correct yourself, them, and the connection between you until you get a general feeling that you exist in the truth.

Question: Do we need to do this through truth or through love?

Answer: Love draws you closer to each other, and establishing the correct relationship is the truth.

The Power of the World Group

938.04Question: When our international group gathers together, do you somehow feel its common desire differently?

Answer: Yes. It is stronger and broader. It comes with greater necessity. It is more vivid and explicit.

People come from all corners of the world with very serious intentions, very serious desires. Their presence here strongly influences everyone. In essence, they evoke the primary desire that I work on.

These periods when all groups come together for congresses are the most powerful. And then, when we collectively enter the sensation of the upper world, meaning, we create above us a spiritual sensor with our common desires, we practically don’t even need to communicate with each other.

I remember traveling with Rabash to several Kabbalists he communicated with, and I would ask him, “So, did he reveal himself?” Rabash would reply, “No, he didn’t want to reveal himself. Although we talked to him, he internally closed himself off so much that I can’t say anything about him.”

Such a thing exists among Kabbalists. We have yet to come to that. The stages, the development, we are going through, have had no analogues in the world. And today, the whole world is returning to the perception of eternity and perfection, as we were at the beginning of our origin.

Therefore, to say that everything happening in the world now is analogous to what happened with Kabbalists throughout history, we cannot. Today, a completely new system is emerging—a true one! The Kabbalists of the past prepared everything for us.
