The Laws of an Ingenious Game

959Question: The Creator plays with a person. What are the rules of the game?

Answer: The rules of the game are that the Creator has only one intention—to bring a person closer to Him.

He cultivates egoistic desires within a person and the person begins to feel a burdening of the heart, confusion, and heaviness. It suddenly seems to him that the whole world is against him, that he has many enemies, many obstacles in his way, and that he himself is tired, confused, perhaps even somewhat ill.

In short, he feels a multitude of disturbances, both external and internal.

In reality, these are not disturbances at all; rather, they are additional layers of the desire to receive within which he has a new opportunity to connect with the Creator.

Usually this arrives with some unexpected disturbance, a sudden fear of people or of authorities.

The Creator dresses Himself in all these means of our world, in all these forms. The person begins to perceive them like a small child who fears everything in the world.

At that point, he must strengthen himself through the books, the environment, and the study and constantly try to hold onto the thought that “There is none else besides Him, the good who does good.”

It is not simple because this game on the Creator’s part is exceedingly clever and intricate for us.

He knows how to entangle a person on his particular level every time in such a way that it demands great effort not to veer off the path and to keep thinking that there is no other authority besides the Creator.

Enter the Spiritual Worlds

528.01Question: If during our daily activities we do not feel, think, or believe that sparks of holiness are rising somewhere, does this mean that we are not raising them? Or are we raising them, but it is hidden from us?

Answer: This is hidden from you. Any action that you perform in connection with the group is spiritual. You still, with your actions, evoke in the upper Partzuf a desire to connect you to it and conduct the upper light through you, through it, and further to Malchut of the world of Assiya.

Question: For example, after class, we compose a prayer, then during the day, we gather for calls and so on. Is it useful to add thoughts about how we raise sparks to Atzilut to these actions, and to think and talk about it? Does this increase sensitivity to sparks of holiness?

Answer: Yes, it increases sensitivity. But on the other hand, it brings additional properties with it that you have not yet mastered; that is, you are not yet at these levels.

So little by little, one more lesson, two more lessons, we will still gradually enter into this together. Let’s say that today it is considered that our lesson is at the level of Malchut of the worlds of BYA. And tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we may already be one level higher and go further.

Feel the Connection with the World of Atzilut

595.03Question: What does it mean that we raise sparks of holiness for correction in Atzilut?

Answer: We do not yet feel this, but we hope that through our mutual effort, together we will feel that we are already connected to the degree of the world of Atzilut, and that all our desires, sufferings, and requests are directed from that degree to the Creator.

It is precisely from that degree that we hope to receive support from Him in the form of the upper light, which in turn will raise us into the world of Atzilut.

A Simple Choice

938.04Question: How can we sort our desires and intentions to be directed toward the Malchut of the world of Atzilut in all the states that come from the Creator? How do we make the choice, and what kind of choice is it?

Answer: The choice is very simple: the whole ten should unite.

When you connect with each other based on your common desire, common intention, common goal—everything you have—as one man with one heart,” then you begin to ask for it.

281.02Question: How can we prepare for the revelation of the shattering?

Answer: To the extent that we are connected with one another, we can delve into the study of the shattering between us and into its sensation. In this way, we can shorten our path to correction, meaning we can draw the shattering closer to us in order to correct it.

Question: The more we exert ourselves in the work, the more the world reveals its evil. How can we justify the Creator, that the world was originally corrected?

Answer: We still have to reveal that the world is initially corrected. Only then will we be able to reach the correct prayer—for closeness between us and with the Creator.

Question: In the ten, we feel unity among us, but between all the tens there is no sensation of merging into one Kli. How should we work with this shattering?

Answer: We need to work on this. To work means to connect despite the egoism that exists within each ten.

What Is the Foundation of Advancement?

528.01Question: If Baal HaSulam says that the shattering essentially did not exist, does this mean that the desire to receive for oneself also does not truly exist?

Answer: It exists, but not in a revealed form.

We need to understand that our advancement is based on the fact that we reveal our states relative to uncorrected Kelim, and we therefore feel increasingly shattered. In this way, our state depends solely on what we are searching for within our current state, what we desire to attain.

In principle, it turns out that we draw closer to the shattered Kli and then start to analyze it in parts.

From there, based on the shattering between the parts of the Kli, we raise a prayer to the Creator so that He would help us come together, recognize the separation between us, and clearly see our entire path .

What do We Need to Reveal to Unite More?

528.04Question: It is said that correction is only possible over the shattering. What kind of shattering should this be? What must we reveal in order to unite more?

Answer: We must reveal the very shattering in which we currently find ourselves. Only then will we be precisely aligned for its correction.

We need to understand what a corrected Kli is and what a corrupted Kli is, and compare the positive connection between the parts of a whole Kli and a shattered one.

Only then will we be able to feel within our own Kelim (our desires), what a shattered Kli and a corrected Kli truly are.

Then we will have a clear idea of what we need to ask of the Creator.

234Question: A person does not always feel. Sometimes one does, and other times one does not. What difference does it make if one’s work is accompanied by feelings, or if a person works out of confidence, without sensations?

Answer: Where does a person’s confidence come from in that case?

Question: From faith in the sages, from what they describe in their books, or from faith in the teacher.

Answer: What is written in the books says nothing. If I feel that I am in it, it means I have mastered this degree.
