How Can You Learn the Right Attitude?

235Question: How can people learn the right attitude toward one another without formal studying?

Answer: Only those who really have an inner urge, an inclination, and realization that it is necessary go to study. Otherwise, what is there to teach? The correct attitude?

A person learns the correct attitude on oneself based on their feelings and inner actions, from the fact that one feels bad and wants to find what is good. It is explained to them where to find a positive feeling so that a person can feel better thanks to one’s correct attitude toward people and toward the Creator. This is not acquired through formal study.

We study because we want to master the methodology to teach others. But when teaching a person, you should not simply sit them down to study. Why all of a sudden? These are natural processes that a person must undergo internally. Moreover, we see how few people are naturally suited for structured learning. It is meant only for those who will later teach others, but teach them practically how to act.

You might say, “Yes, but it is written that through study we draw the surrounding light upon us, and besides that, there is no other means.” Yet again, this applies only to those who must correct themselves as priests or teachers. Others correct themselves solely through their attitude. Just the attitude—nothing else is needed.

Sit and study for hours? Not at all! A person simply needs an explanation. They need a group that demonstrates how they should relate in order to reach the purpose of creation—union with the Creator. It is also necessary to teach that the Creator is the upper force that operates in nature. The more I obey this force, the more I merge with Him; and when I distance myself from Him, I get “spanked” like an unreasonable child because I am not merged with Him.

Today these words have lost their flavor and give people the impression that this is about religion. In reality, we are simply being taught how to fulfill the laws of nature. There is a universal law: if you do not follow it, you suffer. You must fulfill it through your attitude toward Him: as He relates to you, so must you relate to Him.

From External to Internal Action

275Question: In the war against the evil inclination, we are essentially fighting against the will of the Master, the Creator, of this desire. After all, the desire to receive is a function entirely controlled by Him. So does that mean that fighting the evil inclination actually means fighting the Creator who made it? How then can we fight Him?

Answer: By asking the Creator to help us overcome our evil inclination.

The Creator made it by His external action so that through this external action we would come to an internal one.

The War Against the Evil Inclination

253Question: What does it mean that I go to war against the evil inclination?

Answer: It means you want to fight all those thoughts and desires that are against unity, against rising toward the Creator; you want to erase them and not to listen to them.

Question: Our work is regular, according to a schedule: the lesson, Zoom meetings, and dissemination. What can we add to this to truly turn it into a war against the evil inclination?

Answer: That depends on your thoughts and on your goals, on whether you will actually do something or not. And if you do, then with what intention and how it will be expressed.

That is why the war against the evil inclination within us is never-ending. The Creator waits until we become convinced of this. Only then can we genuinely ask Him to pull us out, to free us, from the power of the evil inclination over us.

What Transforms Us Into an Army?

767.2That is, Tzava [army] are men of war. These are people who go each day to fight the evil inclination. They are called “army” (Rabash, Article No. 6, “What Is Above Reason in the Work?”).

Question: We usually say that a person fights with his evil inclination, with his egoism—that is, I am fight. But here it is talking about an army, that is, about some kind of unification. What turns me or us into an army?

Answer: It is your connection with your friends. When you unite with each other with the desire to go against your evil inclination, egoism, and in spite of it, mutually strive toward each other, it turns out that the group, the ten, defeats the evil inclination.

Question: Does this mean that we are fighting some kind of collective, unified egoism?

Answer: Yes, united egoism is the egoism of all of you, your group, and those who are connecting to it. But in spite of it, you need to strive toward the goal. And the goal is only in connection, in merging of all of us with each other.

Question: Should we now, in our time, strengthen ourselves and address Him as the Creator of armies? If so, then what is that?

Answer: We must strive for connection between us, when everyone feels it as the most important thing. And the fact is that a person feels himself as a separated unit, detached from others, that is no longer important to him. We must strive for the feeling of each other in connection with others.

What Is Torah?

276.02Question: What is the Torah?

Answer: It is the force that corrects us, connects us, and comes to us in its many manifestations. This force is capable of bringing us the recognition of evil, its correction, connection with the good, and shows us examples of unity; that is, the entire system of our correction is called Torah.

ZA (Zeir Anpin) of the world of Atzilut is called Torah because I try to resemble this image, this system, by assembling all the souls in Malchut of the world of Atzilut in such a way that the connection between them resembles the structure of ZA of the world of Atzilut.

In this case, all the souls included in Malchut of the world of Atzilut unite and enter into adhesion (Zivug) with ZA of the world of Atzilut, with the Creator. This is how we reveal the connection and adhesion between us.

Everything happens, begins, and ends in ZON (ZA and Nukva) of the world of Atzilut. Malchut of the world of Atzilut goes through seven states until it reaches the level of ZA, similarity to it in full. At the end of correction, they become like two great lights.

Therefore, ZA of the world of Atzilut, called Torah or the Creator, serves as an example for us in its structure, power, and influence.

And we must first of all strive to unite with each other, in the darkness, and reveal the need for His help.
When we discover in all our efforts to unite that we are incapable of it, then like little children, we begin to cry and demand correction from Him, an example.

Then the upper one will show us an example and will give us the power to unite. But our request and demand must come only from our efforts to unite with each other. Otherwise, we will not be worthy of an answer. Otherwise, we are not in the connection of Malchut with ZA of the world of Atzilut, we are not in Malchut. Malchut feels only the connection.

And we are all below, in the worlds of BYA (Beriya, Yetzira, Assiya). In Malchut, only our desires to unite with one another in order to reveal the Creator and attain the quality of bestowal.

There Is No Soul that Has Not Undergone Breaking

548.01Question: Do I need to turn to AHP first in order to correct Galgalta veEinaim (GE)?

Answer: If we talk about how corrections occur in the Kelim, then each Kli we begin to correct, even the lightest, consists of four parts: GE, AHP, GE in AHP and AHP in GE.

Although the light affects all the Kelim, the lighter ones are the first to awaken, because according to the rule of similarity of form, they are closer to correction. What shows them having greater vessels of giving than receiving? This is hard to explain.

On one hand, one who possessed the screen and was on a high level fell very low. One who was in the property of bestowal, naturally close to Bina, almost did not fall since the bestowing Kelim without a screen, although corrupted, they are not so to the extent the receiving Kelim are, which, having a screen, they remain very high, but without a screen are terrible and fall very low.

We do not have to do these calculations in practice as we start the correction. The light awakens, clarifies, sifts through the Kelim, and corrects them. Therefore, those who feel close to correction come by themselves, join in, and feel a part of it.

Therefore, today we cannot make an accurate calculation. There was no such breakage in the bodies. There are people who, from a “bodily” point of view, are called Jews, and there are those who are called nations of the world.

Among both are those who did not mix with each other, i.e., over time there were no mixed marriages between them. But the shattering happened in the souls! No explanation is given for this. Kabbalists do not want to touch on this topic.

We cannot form an attitude toward the world based on this, if only because we do not know where the lost tribes are, how they have undergone the breakage. You cannot relate to something based on external criteria. We just have to accept as a fact: if we are talking about souls, there is no soul that did not undergo a complete breakage, with all its parts.

It follows that since the light corrects and returns to the source, people awaken to correction without any connection to other factors. In the end, it is a matter of time: either sooner or later.

How the Mechanism of Correction Works

117Question: How can one guide their point in the heart through the group, which functions as a spiritual amplifier?

Answer: There are external means that we use: books, the group, the teacher, our system of study and global connection. These conditions were established for us by the Kabbalists.

If we put them into practice, build an external framework for ourselves, and insert our desire for spirituality into this system, then the desire begins to grow.

Initially I have only my one point in the heart, and I pass it to my friends and receive from them all their points in the heart! This network of connection between us, between souls, already exists.

Everything was prepared in advance during the descent of the worlds from above downward for our ascent from this world to the world of infinity.

I only need to be able to enter into this system, lower myself, see everyone else as corrected, and desire to receive the light of correction through them.

Then I will receive from the others their desires for bestowal, which will expand my own desire.
However, at the beginning I had only a small point in the heart, and even that was unclear in its direction.

I invested it into the group, I wanted to enter it; that is, I performed an act of bestowal! And in return I received from the others a genuine force, a true desire to bestow!

Suddenly you see that you really want it and value it. And then fear comes. Will I be able to reach bestowal to the Creator or will I end my life without achieving it?

These are still egoistic thoughts, but they already revolve around how to reach bestowal! This is called Lo Lishma: a) striving to bestow and b) thinking about the benefit.

So through the group you receive a more internal direction toward the Creator.

When you aim yourself toward the Creator, you draw closer to faith, you begin to attract another surrounding light. It is not that the light has changed; you have changed, and therefore the light affects you differently. Now it can give you the quality of bestowal.

And when you acquire the quality of bestowal, you begin to rise above your egoism. This is what you wanted to achieve from the very beginning, but now the light has arranged it so that it comes not through coercion, but by your own desire.

Suddenly you feel how the quality of faith fills you, that is, the quality of bestowal, since faith is bestowal, Bina.

It gives you freedom from your ego! And it is not that it completely frees you from egoism, but it gives you the strength to rise above it. It is already above the Machsom.

What Do the Nations of the World Want from Us?

290Ultimately, Israel and the nations of the world will work together. After all, if we speak of the shattered Kli (vessel), whose particles must awaken and be corrected and in which each particle contains all the others, then from an inner, spiritual perspective, Israel and the nations of the world are intermingled with one another. In spirituality, all these labors are interconnected.

I believe this will also be the case in the corporeal world. I see it based on facts. Before I even awaken toward correction, the outer world already pushes me toward it. Antisemites, all kinds of haters, shout at me and the whole world demands something from me, so I see that they are already beginning to participate.

Even before I begin to desire correction, they are already demanding it, unconsciously of course, but still demanding it. And consciously as well; after all, they claim that Israel is the most corrupted part of the world, that it is Israel who causes all the world’s troubles. What do they demand? Either destruction or correction!

This appeal is quite direct. We do not agree with it: “Why are you treating us this way? What do you want from us? We just want to be like you!” But what does it mean to be “like you”? None of the nations of the world want to see us like them, and they are right. Look at what is happening; it is all so clear, so obvious.

My teacher Rabash never missed the news for precisely this reason. From the news, it becomes evident and clear what is happening in the world. It is as if a prophet is speaking from the radio, reporting the news, and these are facts, not speculations or theories. You turn on the radio and you see what is happening. Ever since the beginning of the return to the Land of Israel, everything has become more and more apparent.
