Terrorism in Israel: The Need for Long-Term Solutions

Posted on October 21st, 2023 at 8:28 pm

Comment: What is happening in the country [Israel] now, of course, causes pride. In response to the complete lawlessness of the terrorists, an army of 360,000 people was assembled in a matter of days. People left everything and went to recruiting stations, and they came from abroad. They left all their business.

Everyone has a feeling: “This is my house, and the house is in danger.” And everyone came.

We see how everything changes. Just prior to this, someone was left or right—now they are together, going into battle. There were different views; now there is one view. Such is the real unity of Israel. Meaning, the grief has connected everyone.

My Response: We must completely neutralize Hamas and destroy this organization to make sure that there is a normal life in the Gaza Strip as it once was.

Once it was even possible to enter the Gaza Strip. People went there to do shopping or to repair cars. They lived a normal life. And then because of this organization, Hamas, Gaza became the absolute enemy of Israel. So what we need to do is restore normal communication.

Question: What about the fact that the atmosphere of searching for the guilty is beginning? How do we live with it now?

Answer: There is no getting away from it. We need to look at things realistically. It lives in people. When there are so many lives lost and so many problems, it will not go away by itself, and time will not erase it. Therefore we must understand that we will have to deal with this for a long time.

Question: So if this feeling “how could this have happened” arises—and it arises in many people of course, since they see that things were missed here and there—then is it not necessary to suppress it within yourself?

Answer: No, you can’t suppress it. We just need to sort out all the plans for the future well.

Question: When did you utter such a phrase, “Everyone should have a sense of guilt!” How should we understand this?

Answer: We allowed ourselves to do everything possible to weaken the state with endless demonstrations and clashes among ourselves, and this gave the terrorists the opportunity to do what they want.

Question: So you don’t retreat from this phrase?

Answer: No, of course not. We are to blame for this.

Question: Are you saying “we”? Not the ones who went out on the demonstrations?

Answer: No, no. I also do not absolve myself of any responsibility. There can be no double standards here. Everyone is to blame.

Question: And how should we live with this, with this guilt?

Answer: How to live with it? Well, don’t live.

Comment: But when you see what happened there and you still feel guilty, it’s not that simple.

My Response: So what can you do? Close your eyes and say, “It’s not happening”?

Question: I can’t anymore. Is it possible to turn it all around? Is it possible now to get out of this feeling into another one?

Answer: Only if you constantly work on it. I mean, we have to restore the right relationships between us so that we stop these stupid demonstrations, which, in principle, do nothing but weaken the state and only benefit organizations like Hamas.

So we have a problem here.

Comment: Today we see this unity, all this help, mutual guarantee. We gather together during wars.

My Response: I don’t know. I personally am not sure that the people can draw such good conclusions from this. It will all pass, it will all change quickly, and it will be forgotten; they will hide their head under their wing and that’s it.

Question: Do you think that the horrors recorded by the prophets are possible and can come true?

Answer: They are possible. And we must definitely live in this way until we achieve final correction, to be with each other in absolute love.

If love is not above all disagreements, then in the end we will wake up in the sea, thrown out of here.

Question: Love rising above all disagreements—does this depend on us?

Answer: Of course. Everyone should say that it depends on him.

Question: So the differences remain, and I rise above them?

Answer: Yes, correction is precisely in this.

To Win the War Against Evil

Posted on October 20th, 2023 at 10:20 am

The most important thing that everyone needs to know today is that the connection between us, even across distances and borders, must save the world from evil.

If with every falling rocket, hatred and grievances toward friends and the Creator grow within you, you must remember that everything comes from the Creator: all your desires and feelings. Therefore, you need to turn to Him and ask for correction in order to feel love instead of hatred, closeness instead of distance. And thus it will happen to all of us.

We ask the Creator to truly make us feel that there is none else besides Him and that He surrounds us from all sides, supports us, and brings us closer to the end of correction.

To win in the war means, despite all obstacles, to hold on to friends and together to hold on to the Creator.

We need to ask the Creator to give the right thoughts and feelings in the heart of every person in the world, to men and women, so that everyone can calm down, and everyone understands how to unite and allow the Creator to reveal Himself in all of us.

It doesn’t matter when the congress ended and where and when the next one will be; we need to feel in a state of spiritual ascent all the time. And then everything will work out for us. The main thing is not to forget about each other, about the Creator, or about our connection, and through it to the Creator.

Mutual Influence

Posted on October 20th, 2023 at 7:37 am

Question: Let’s say the Creator gives me another revelation of egoism. I ask the Creator to correct it, and my state somehow changes. Does such individual spiritual work influence the entire ten?

Answer: Of course it does because you are part of this group. Therefore, when you ask and the group asks, you influence each other, and the Creator works between you. The most important thing is not to let go of mutual care for each other.

How Can We Grab the Creator

Posted on October 20th, 2023 at 7:29 am

Question: After we open our hearts, we need to grab the Creator for Him to fill our common heart. How can we do this in practice?

Answer: When you try to catch an object, do you imagine what you are catching?

This is the kind of movement you should make toward the Creator, and not once, but many times, twenty times every day. And then you will begin to get this aspiration for the Creator. It is exercises like this that will lead you to internal and external movements. Good luck.

A Network Woven from the Threads of Love

Posted on October 20th, 2023 at 7:24 am

We need to build such a network of connections so that the threads of love stretch between us, and then we need to jump into this sea of love. And we can already talk about it right now and try to do it, but in fact, it will become clear only after a strong connection in the ten.

This can only be realized when I feel myself inside the ten, and together with the entire ten we will take a step toward an even broader unification. Then we will experience indescribable sensations, unlike anything that exists in our world.

How To Succeed at The Convention

Posted on October 20th, 2023 at 7:20 am

Question: Our convention is called “Opening the Heart” and all its lessons are about how we can connect into one heart, how to overcome the burdening of the heart, and how to extract prayer from the depths of the heart.

Please give us direction so that in the remaining time we can fill ourselves with this convention.

Answer: If everyone prays for a friend, then you will succeed. If everyone in the depths of their hearts worries about themselves, then there will be no connection in which we would reveal the Creator and our next spiritual degree.

So let us pray for our friends. I do not care about myself, I care about my friends because I completely depend on them. It is not just “I care about them.” I care about them because this is also care for myself and for bringing contentment to the Creator. My action is not completely altruistic.

Let us think about mutual guarantee (Arvut) when each of us understands that without me supporting my friends, and my friends supporting me, none of us will achieve anything.

Let Everyone Enter Into My Heart

Posted on October 20th, 2023 at 7:17 am

Question: In one of his articles, Rabash writes that the Creator demands all hearts. What does it mean?

Answer: The Creator demands that all souls unite into one single soul, which is called Adam—from the word “Domeh,” similar to the Creator.

This is the state we must all achieve together. This is the meaning, purpose, and principle of our existence on Earth.

Try to direct your states toward the Creator, connect them with the Creator, and feel the Creator inside you, inside your connection with each other.

And the most important thing is to correct the heart, to open it wider and wider in front of all friends. Let everyone enter my heart, everyone can fit in it: all the worlds, all of creation, including the Creator. We must understand this, imagine it, attract to ourselves, and reveal ourselves, and then we will succeed.
