There is an easy solution: Start disseminating. While engaged in dissemination, you forget about yourself. Even people who are not connected with each other, begin to establish contact. The more knowledge about unity you generate in the world, the further you advance. Forget about everything that happens to you personally, except for basic needs. Turn everything else outward—this will prevent friction and discord between you.

This is just as spouses devote themselves to the problem of their sick child, forgetting about themselves. Their attention shifts outward, and that is where they concentrate all their efforts. This common problem unites them. Thus, begin to take care of your “sick child,” the world.

This will cool the passion between you. It is pointless to fix your relationship directly. Switch outward fully, really immerse yourselves in the practical work, and then you will suddenly see how to organize things inside. Taking care of the group‘s internal matters will work only if it is necessary for the work with the outside world. Only then you organize everyone and everything. Let only the need for external dissemination define who we are and what we do. Then, we really will work to bestow.

Take the example of Bina. Its upper half is aimed at bestowal to the Creator; its lower half is aimed at bestowal to the world, and it itself is the middle third of Tifferet, merely the decision to divide itself into two parts. Thus, this is how everyone and each group should perceive themselves.

Which Group Do I Choose?

No person was born without a reason, and, of course, no person received spiritual awakening for his own purposes. In the spiritual world, one person does not count, the whole system does.

This is why every person has to always ask himself: “How do I help fix the common interconnection? How do I convey my awakening to my friends? How do I participate in the search for the common program in the revelation of the Creator between us? How does He connect us?”

In the end, we will discover that we are in a single system, a single connection, a single function, and the upper force exists within us equally under all conditions. Then, we will reach the wholesome and perfect state of the world. Together, we will unite with this force specifically because it involves us equally and simultaneously.

The flaws that are revealed in our lives are the flaws of the program of the universe that must now manifest. We discover evil, pain, confusion, and disorder in the darkness that covers it. This allows us to do an exact diagnosis in the same way a doctor diagnoses an illness. The Creator bares the symptoms before us through disasters and problems.

So, let us have enough reason and feeling, enough preparation, and mainly, mutual support to recognize the essence of these events. When I feel pain, when I get angry at someone and do not wish to see them, when I justify myself, proving to myself that I am right and everyone else is wrong, then I need to understand that I am confused by the same desires and thoughts that are not yet corrected for connection with the common system.

I should not run from them. I need to work with them properly until I create a completely correct attitude toward others, beginning with close friends and relatives, and ending with the people I hate most, those who are distant and opposite to me.

As it is written: “Love covers all transgressions.” We scream about “love thy neighbor” not because we are kind-hearted. Real love is mutual inclusion between us, without any differences, with the purpose of joining the force that activates us, the program that must become revealed between us in an analog form outside of time and space, connecting all of us into one. We must use all available methods to explain this to the world. This is our work in between conventions.

I hope that we will be better united during the lessons. I really recommend reading my blog, regardless of the repetitions. There, I provide the opinions of many scientists and professionals, and this does its job: It enables us to connect to the world. We need this.

Today, we must feel the desires and the pain of the world, their impressions and feelings about the crisis, and use it always to look for ways to explain, influence, and slightly sweeten the pain of people, without calming them down, and instead, show them the correct way to view their problems. This work will require a lot of time, and we must do it.

Our body consists of different parts, which are made and operate differently. When we look at them individually, it is difficult to understand how kidneys, lungs, the heart, liver, brain, the five senses, memory, and the digestive tract are connected with one another.

They are completely different, and the main thing here is the common program, which connects them into one and sets the speed and the function for every part, establishes the right connections between them and allows them to work together in a single harmony.

The program that combines all the parts of the body is called “life.” It creates the higher level—our human consciousness.

We need to interact with one another according to the same principle. There are different groups and different people, and while every person keeps his characteristics, the interconnection must take place above our individuality. We want to reveal the universal program, which will unite us into one. This way we will reveal the Light of Infinity, which begets, supports, and connects us. The perception of this program is the revelation of the Creator.

Besides our animate body, we feel that there is a person living in us—a higher degree. The same way, when we unite with one another, we reveal the program of our interconnection on a higher level, which is the revelation of the Creator to the creature.

And even though we receive a strong impulse toward this during conventions, we can do enormous unity work in groups and between groups during the breaks between conventions in order to bring this message, this example to the world. After all, the world is already beginning to experience this need to understand the current situation.

The Creator becomes revealed between us in the dark. He uses it to show us that we lack Him so we would direct ourselves towards Him. We cannot correct our lives otherwise. He evokes this in us through the crisis and the feeling of helplessness, through different unpleasant sensations. Otherwise, how can we, egoists, aspire towards Him? We will not be able to reveal Him artificially, without really needing Him.

Day by day, the world is becoming submerged in darkness and confusion, losing hope and strength, and losing orientation even in the mundane activities. This becomes reflected upon the lives of regular people, causing the feeling of lack to gradually mature in them. At first they do not know what exactly it is that they lack, but then they realize that they need confidence in tomorrow, hope for the future, a guarantee about things they need in regular life today.

These are not philosophical revelations or intellectual theoretical developments. These are not things that become revealed to us, people with a point in the heart, above our regular lives. We have a special search, one inherent to Galgalta ve-Eynaim, the vessels of bestowal, those who want to penetrate the essence of the program that connects us, to feel the net of our interconnection, and to attain the laws that operate between us. But not everyone aspires towards this.

A regular person only needs to understand how he participates in the process out of his need for food, to educate his children, to have a pension, health and safety, and to pay his bills…. That is how he becomes included in the big program, differently from us. He needs simple, familiar things: making a living, having television at home, visiting familiar websites, having and raising children….

These people will continue to live the exact same way on the spiritual stage of their development, but with the intention to participate in the common business together with everyone else. Otherwise, they will not be able to provide for themselves. The cells in the body operate the same way, receiving a program from the brain.

We must explain what is happening to the people and teach them the specifics of behavior in the new world, while developing and studying it among us. This is why every one of us must understand the responsibility he is carrying. Practically, this is the realization of his soul.

Although we exist in the space of the world of Infinity, we are unable to perceive anything of it except for a tiny black point that is unaware even of itself. This is how the Creator made us. And then He started to restrict Himself. As He restricts Himself, we manifest more and more.

The Creator conceals Himself from 100 to zero percent, forming the worlds of Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya, the 125 degrees of restriction, the Creator’s concealment. To this extent, the creature reveals itself and its world more and more, from zero to 100 percent, and this constitutes the degrees of the creature by which it manifests more and more, until it finds itself in our world. Meanwhile, the Creator is concealed.

Now, we have to perform the correction. I have to gradually, step by step, reveal the Creator, meaning to discover Him within myself so as to not be opposite to Him, so that there would be no barrier separating us, so that I would encompass all of His qualities until they enter me, degree after degree.

We can depict it differently: I absorb into myself the properties of the Creator, and they enter inside my point, my Reshimo (informational gene), more and more.

Most important is to adhere to precise definitions. We exist in that same space, in that same place, in the same conditions. From the part of the Creator, the upper Light, nothing changes. Everything depends only on how we incorporate into ourselves His qualities—the qualities of love and bestowal, of expansion and unlimited connection, so that all the properties called love and bestowal that constitute the nature of Light enter us. Then we will sense the state that we truly exist in.

We can’t change anything: We exist in that same place, among the same forces. There is a program that advances us towards development under the influence of great pressures we feel from outside and inside. But we can add to it our own development, to decide that we desire it, and then to develop quickly, nicely, and with joy. This is the entire difference.

Nobody had asked us either in the beginning or in the end of the process, nobody is taking us into consideration—except for that mechanical force that develops us. Indeed, the Creator has no feelings like ours, as it is said: “The law is given and cannot be transgressed.” But we, as sensual and fine creatures, can use this law effectively for it help us to develop quickly, nicely, and easily.

Hence, all we do is reveal a perfect reality—the world of Infinity, the Creator, and it is happening namely in our generation.

Question: How can I know for sure that I have risen above reason?

Answer: To rise above reason means to enter the reason of the other.

We exist in the world of Infinity. I am one of many. Remaining inside myself, I exist in my reason: concern for myself, thoughts about myself, in a race for my personal well-being. This is our ordinary state. Subconsciously and consciously, we think only about it.

Undoubtedly, my children, wife, relatives, friends, and perhaps even my nation and country where I live are also part of my sphere. This is determined by how much I depend on the people around me and to what extent I’m subject to their influence. Accordingly, I attribute them to my own Self.

What does an ascent above reason mean? It means that I move into the reason, the desires of the other person, instead of being inside myself. I’m at his or her service completely. For me, the other person is primary, while I, the one who executes, secondary. The other is like a beloved baby for me, while I’m his or her mother.

This is what rising above reason entails. In other words, it is a change of priorities: Now the other is more important to me than I am to myself, like a baby to his mother. This is a true sign that I have succeeded.

The world is awakening. Moreover, it is being awakened by darkness: The egoistic desire is no longer receiving fulfillment and it feels that it finds itself in a multi-crisis. I marry and divorce. I have children, but they do not respect me. I want to give them a good education, but the results are nothing like I had imagined.

I want the simple joys of life, but instead I become depressed. I want to save some money, but I get hit by life and am left with nothing. I have spent my life putting money in my retirement plan, and it is disappearing together with the evaporating bank assets. I look for peace in nature, but it responds with natural disasters.

What matters in all of this is the feeling that the world is being submerged into darkness: There is no reason for a person to live, no reason to have children…. The program of development has its hands on humanity and keeps demonstrating more clearly the absence of fulfillment and darkness.

The same is happening with us, but we encounter the same symptoms, quickly find points of support, and jump over this state. This is because we have the method, the guide for action, that helps us move forward.

However, the world does not have anything like this. People do not understand the darkness that has come over them, its reason and purpose. At the end, no matter where a person turns, nothing fulfills him, nothing really makes him happy.

This way, the world is also moving towards a critical state, when through a lot of hard work people will need to accept that the time has come to change the way of life. Otherwise, this darkness will not clear since it is the opposite side of the Light. It speaks of the Light, the quality of bestowal, that is coming closer to us. But we keep feeling worse as it approaches us, we do not want bestowal, we do not want to live in it. On the contrary, we want to keep satisfying our egoistic desires.

However, there is no other solution. We see the way Nature is presenting itself to humanity: “I am bringing the quality of bestowal to you, and you will suffer until you will want to accept it as the best thing possible.”

Who will explain to people what is happening? We will. We must explain the essence of these changes to them. And the more we delay this explanation, the more people will hate us. Because on one hand, people do not want the quality of bestowal, but on the other, they will feel that we have the solution to the problems and we are standing in their way towards goodness. We must explain to them: What is happening in the world and what to do with the darkness that has fallen over them.

So far we are “imposing” on them with our message: “Look, we can explain world events. It is time to change the direction; man needs to change, not the world. The global integrated crisis is not a crisis. On the contrary, the quality of bestowal is here.” But for now they do not hear us.

Another several months will go by, we will be hit by several other disasters, and people will start listening. They will begin to understand the cause of darkness, helplessness, confusion, and the inability to control the world in the old manner. After all, nothing works, all the systems are collapsing.

And on our part, we must hurry with circulation. It is like an armada of flying saucers standing over Earth, with their projectors at full strength—this is how the quality of bestowal is influencing us. And only when we become like this quality, will we see light, warmth, joy, and hope for the future, eternity, and perfection in it.

It is not easy to explain the truth to the world. We need to rewrite the materials, explain them in various forms and from different angles. It is really difficult for people to switch their perception, direct it in a new way.

However, our time is special. Generations of Kabbalists have dreamed about it, but we are the ones who have merited to not only live in this time, but also understand what is happening.

Many people are now experiencing the crisis in their lives, an inner collapse, family drama, or drug abuse. This does not depend on the level of prosperity: It is also a disaster to have had fifty million dollars and be left with five, even though it is difficult for us to imagine this. People do not know that the blows have a purpose—and this is awful. A person can survive anything if he knows that he is moving towards a goal and the suffering will pay off and turn into gain. But what do you do when nothing shines ahead?

You and I know about the Thought of Creation, its purpose and that everything bad leads us towards goodness, and this is a gift from Above. There are billions of people in the world suffering without a glimpse of light ahead of them. And we must explain to them that there is a reason and a purpose to what is happening, a big reward and a possibility to turn every blow into a good blow.

It is necessary to bring this news to the world. The time has come. Even if people are deafened by suffering and do not want to listen (after all, only pain comes through blows), yet, having waited for the right quiet moment, it is possible to instill a drop of explanation into a person. Then do it again and again. This way sensations will alternate with information. We must watch the waves that flow through the world and fill the intervals between them with information about the cause and the essence of events.

Then people will perceive every new blow with a greater understanding, until the understanding counterbalances the disasters and brings them the feeling of causality and purposefulness, and later also of benefit. Instead of pain, a person will suddenly experience the desired relief because now he is being compensated. But when I am immediately rewarded for hard work, I do not feel the effort.

When the result is visible, the efforts are recorded as an asset, not an expense, because they bring profit. Moreover, they add weight and flavor to it since they helped me form a need, a vessel, an appetite in me, that allows me to enjoy the wonderful meal.

The World Is Suffering Because of Me

Question: How much longer are we going to suffer like stubborn children that do not wish to create a good environment? How do we overcome our stubbornness?

Answer: We need to convince ourselves of the need to advance. Otherwise, we will suffer. We should be ashamed of the fact that the world is suffering, and we are not giving it what we can and what it needs. We truly should feel guilty for the suffering of the world. Let this shame burn us, finally causing us to do something.

The individual calculations that we use to justify ourselves as we sit home and do nothing are of no use here. Regardless of what may seem to us, we need to use all our strength to be imbued by the suffering in the world and see that we are responsible for leading it to correction.

It is truly a big problem if we treat the world and people with neglect, thinking: “Let them suffer; maybe then they’ll change.” They cannot change. Only we can change, and then through us, they will be provided with ready decisions.

On the spiritual path we reveal that the world is our own system. Now imagine that for many years you purposely caused people harm, treated them as enemies, and enjoyed it, and now suddenly you discover that they are your children. Imagine the misery you feel now, as you remember everything that they were forced to endure because of you.

This is the part of shame that is revealed to us. Therefore, in order to reduce it, we need to hurry ahead of time by rejecting personal calculations. Whatever happens, do not pay attention to the behavior of people. After all, the Creator purposely presents them in this manner so that you would think only about bestowal and wish them good.

We only feel the territory of our unity when we care for the vast world. Unity must happen through caring for someone just like spouses begin to feel like parents by caring for their children.

This is why we need to put our efforts into mutual, proper, and well-organized circulation. We produce interviews, video clips, songs, and other content. We need to create an ever increasing stock of ready materials so that we could take the needed materials from there, translate them to different languages, and put them to use.

This type of concern for the world will unite us into one. The only way to fix the connection between us is by bestowing to others. This is the spiritual law. I am unable to contact, unable to move, if it does not beget bestowal toward somebody. We need to work together on this, and better organize ourselves.

Do not wait for the initiative from the center in Israel—act independently. We have our own problems in Israel right now. It is becoming a hot spot in the world. So realize your own initiatives, adapted to your conditions.

After all, we are not disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah, but the knowledge about the true state of the world. You only need to learn the correct presentation and continuously improve it along the way. Only circulation will allow us to develop.

The main work direction is the Internet and communication with scientists. Based on their information, we go up to the government and down to the people. We act like an “idea driver” that disseminates essential knowledge in society and the Internet.

Virtual dissemination does not require enormous investment. There is no need to over-prepare materials. The main thing is to bring the ideas to the people. The key factors in these days are simplicity and accessibility. People like it when they are spoken to in a simple and unpretentious manner. Let us learn this together, and the faster, the better.
