Work with the Intention “For the Sake of Bestowal”

Posted on April 18th, 2024

To obtain the property of bestowal, you need to unite with each other.

Then your quality of bestowal will coincide with the quality of bestowal of the Creator, and you will feel that you are in the same world as Him. Everything will fall into place.

Question: How can we transfer our common pleasure to the Creator?

Answer: If you transfer your pleasure to each other, then eventually, you begin to feel a sense of bestowing to your friend and therefore to the Creator.

Our job is to determine how to move closer to the full disclosure of light in our desires because this is what the Creator wants. It is a work of intention, and we must do it that way.

Faith in the Creator

Posted on April 18th, 2024

Question: Why can one only adhere to the Creator in the attribute of attainment and not in the attribute of faith?

Answer: In the attribute of faith one cannot adhere with the Creator because faith is achieved by the desire to bestow that rises from below upward toward the Creator, and attainment is given from above downward.

Faith in the Creator is the quality of bestowal, the quality of love, through which we wish to fulfill, delight, and give pleasure to our friends.

Question: How can I determine if my feeling is truly faith in the Creator?

Answer: It is impossible to explain. You will get this feeling within yourself and understand.

Question: Is faith alone enough to enter the land of Israel, into the upper Malchut?

Answer: Faith alone is not enough because it requires the desire to receive, the desire to bestow, the correct balance between them, and, based on this, the quality of bestowal from below upward.

The middle line is the result of the correct combination of the right and left lines.

Keep Us under the Protection of the Torah

Posted on April 17th, 2024

All the work is only where there are two ways, as we have found, And he shall live in them, and he shall not die in them (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 188 “All the Work Is Only Where There Are Two Ways – 2”).

Question: Why is it said that we have two ways? After all, we only have one way, the way of Kabbalah.

Answer: The point is that we must observe the laws of the higher world that governs us. Within it, there are conditions that allow transgressing various requirements except for the three commandments.

The main one is that the Creator is one, unique, unified, and there is none else beside Him. Therefore, first of all, one must adhere to this and work on this commandment. And everything else depends on the states a person inhabits.

Therefore, it is written that all our work is only in the place where there are two ways: whether to fulfill the commandments or not. As it is said: “And they shall live in them, and not die in them.”

This means that we cannot approach the sanctification of the Creator in things that do not require it, and the notion of “die but not transgress” applies only to the three commandments called incest, bloodshed, and idolatry. We find that the first righteous ones gave their lives to fulfill them.

That is, everything a person must do, and he stands by it, is to devote all his efforts to fulfilling the commandments or even go even to death. This is our entire work because at the time when a person must observe the Torah, the heavy burden is revealed, i.e., the entire weight of its execution. And at the time when the Torah protects a person, it is not so difficult for him.

As it is said, a person’s soul shall teach him. When a person moves forward and various means for further advancement are revealed to him, this is called the Torah teaching and protecting him.

The State of Shabbat in the Ten

Posted on April 17th, 2024

Question: What is the state of Shabbat (Sabbath) in a Kabbalistic ten?

Answer: This is a state where there is nothing to correct; everything is already corrected, everyone is in complete connection with each other as if you were suspended in the sky.

Question: You said that in our world on Shabbat people walk and talk differently. How can we come to such a state where we feel as if we were suspended from the sky? What needs to be done?

Answer: Indeed on Shabbat people walk slower, do not argue, do not rush anywhere, and do everything as if they were on vacation. But external, physical actions do not give anything.

Nonetheless, in the ten, you should also treat each other with kindness and consideration, you should be help each other and be in contact with each other, and you will gradually feel what kind of atmosphere it is.

After all, the feeling that you are suspended from the sky is a state where you do not want to be governed by earthly qualities.

Read like it Is the First Time

Posted on April 17th, 2024

Question: What does it mean to look at a book anew each time?

Answer: It is as if you do not remember at all what you once read and you look at the book like it is the first time.

Question: If we have to perceive a text every time as if we were seeing it for the first time, then what about the fact that some passages from the Torah or The Book of Zohar pop up in your memory and literally resound in you?

Answer: It does not matter, do not fight it. Everything will settle down on its own and take its place.

Question: There are people who speak quotes from sources without using any of their own words or who remain silent. Is it good?

Answer: On one hand it is good if they really know the original sources and can play them back from memory. But beside this, you need to be free and as if travel through all the original sources and be connected with them in many ways.

Check Desires

Posted on April 17th, 2024

Question: Is it necessary to restrict all desires to the minimum, even those that do not interfere with connection with the ten?

Answer: There is no need to restrict anything. Try to understand which desires can bring you closer to the Creator and which draw you away from Him.

Check it out with your friends. If desires bring you closer to each other, they will bring you closer to the Creator.

Question: How do we determine the required minimum? After all, each person has their minimum.

Answer: If you do the right things, you will not have to think about how much you receive and how to receive less.

Focus on the Most Important

Posted on April 17th, 2024

Question: You said that as a result of the spiritual work, the ten will become like one body and appear before the Creator. How does this happen?

Answer: This is done by the Creator from above. But in order to help Him as much as possible, you must be ready to unite in one desire and strive for one goal.

Comment: We try to do this during the lessons and at all our events, but it does not work out.

My Response: No, it is slowly working out, but it has not yet come to the point where you feel it in your sensations. To speed up this process, you need to focus on making sure that your desires are similar to each other.

Question: We compose a prayer every day and try to build a common desire. Is it better to focus on one thing?

Answer: Yes, on what is important to us today.
