Get out from under the Control of Pharaoh

278.03And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea­shore… and the people feared the Lord… (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 151, “And Israel Saw the Egyptians“).

Question: The process of leaving Egypt was accomplished by a leap of faith above reason.

The Creator miraculously demonstrated His full support to the people. Why were they afraid?

Now in fact, there is also a miraculous occurrence: thousands of people around the world are doing the same act of unification. Why are we afraid and not happy with anything?

Answer: Because after having shown our desire to leave Egypt, we fell under the power of Pharaoh, who would not let us go.

Reach Love

527.03Question: It is written that a person can discover love in a good way or with harsh judgments. How is this related to the feeling that I stand before the King and can reveal this love in two ways?

Answer: This is a feeling; therefore, I cannot convey it to you. Either you desire to increase good within yourself and thus come closer to the Creator or you demand something to come closer to the Creator.

That is what we do in life. You can ask, cry, and thus draw closer, or make a demand.

In principle, a person should reach such love for the Creator with which the Creator loves him. But this is practically an unattainable degree. That is the end of all corrections.

The Light of Faith Is a Feeling of Connection

294.1The one who seeks the truth is the one who needs the light of faith. (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 41, “What Is Greatness and Smallness in Faith?”).

Faith is a condition when I act as if I am in front of the Creator in absolute attainment, connection, love, and mutual understanding with Him.

Then I am in complete faith.

Question: Can the light of faith be felt as something I can share?

Answer: The light of faith is a feeling of connection with the Creator. Of course, it is always lacking, so we must constantly ask for it.

Corrected Desire

962.3Question: Why is the desire to receive considered one-tenth of the desire?

Answer: Because that is how it how it feels.

Question: How can I feel that I am exiting my desire to receive and that this is the Sof of the Partzuf that I am leaving, that I am unable to work with?

Answer: It does not work that way. You feel one hundred percent of the attainment of the Creator and do not wish to divide it into one-tenth and nine-tenths. You want to act just as the Creator acts upon you. That is what corrected desire is.

Perfect Faith

945Question: How do we add faith? Is this something we do ourselves?

Answer: The Creator does it, but it is thanks to the fact that we constantly, all together want to increase faith. Each does so in their our way, but, in principle, together. We want to be in perfect faith.

Perfect faith is faith that completely replaces knowledge, sensation, and everything we can receive from the Creator.

Question: How can we help each other achieve a constant lack of faith that will ultimately replace our knowledge and feelings?

Answer: Friends can show an example and support, and then you will see what you lack to gain complete faith.

Two Qualities in Man

276.01Question: If I understand correctly, in the article “Three Prayers – 2,” Rabash describes two states. The first is when man thinks that he has good deeds, Torah, and enjoys this.

The second state is when he moves toward Lishma (for Her sake). And here, the Pharaoh awakens, who is against this, and Moses, who goes against the Pharaoh. In those states when a man thinks he is in Lishma, does he accumulate efforts that lead to the birth of the quality of Moses in man?

Answer: Yes, this is necessary. There is not a single state that we go through, whether in ascents or descents, that is not useful to us.

Question: Then if I understand correctly, Pharaoh is the desire to receive. He also prays to the Creator but on an animate level. And the new point, which relates to the Creator, is of a higher level but still weak?

Answer: Correct.
