Knowledge of the Creator

237Question: Baal HaSulam writes that only knowledge is added to a worker of the Creator who merits contact with Him. What kind of knowledge is this?

Answer: A person who is worthy of contact with the Creator comprehends that everything is revealed in one Kli, in one desire, through connection and love. Therefore, our understanding of the Creator comes down to feeling Him as the only source of everything that exists. Then we will have no questions.

Genuine contact with the Creator occurs when a person realizes his inner connection with Him through all his friends. This is the goal of the development of our world.

An Exercise in Reflection

530Question: You said that true contact with the Creator occurs when a person attains one’s inner connection with the Creator through one’s friends.

What exercise can we do in the ten to build such an attainment among us?

Answer: To achieve this, you must strive to attain connection between yourselves and connection between each of you through the Creator. Divide one by the other and you will discover the specific strength that acts within you from the Creator. This will already be a significant accomplishment.

The Gift We Expect from the Creator

935The only gift we expect from the Creator is the ability to reach bestowal Lishma. Maybe I don’t even know what this truly is because I have never experienced such qualities within myself. But I expect to receive this gift that I currently have no real understanding of.

Lishma is a gift that comes to me from the Creator, a gift that grants me the ability to bestow upon a friend or the Creator without expecting any compensation in return.

While I have not yet received this gift, I want to strengthen my connection with the Creator, i.e., to draw Him closer to me or conversely push myself closer to Him through prayer. I seek to establish a strong bond with Him, one that cannot be broken.

We were born to unite with the Creator, to receive delight from Him through this connection, to be filled by it, and ultimately to achieve similarity of qualities with the Creator.

First  I should try to connect with Him on the same wavelength that came to me as a result of His response. Once I feel that I have established this feedback loop with the Creator, I want to convey my most pressing desire to Him and embed my prayer within the thread that links us. I hope that in response the Creator will establish an unbreakable connection between us.

Thus, I continuously exchange messages with Him. I reach out to the Creator, and the Creator responds to me, and I am getting closer and closer to Him. I am constantly trying to understand what the Creator wants from me, how He wants us to unite with our friends so that through this unity we can turn to Him together.

Through this process we will discern what kind of relationship or wavelength evokes a response from Him, and in doing so, we will build our connection with the Creator.

I must exert effort to extend a thread from myself to the Creator and in turn to draw a thread from the Creator back to myself. When this reciprocal connection is established, I can be certain of a two-way bond.

The essence of the science of Kabbalah is precisely in establishing this mutual connection between a person and the Creator. This connection, known as Lishma, is a gift from the Creator.

How Can You Accelerate the Development of Creation?

938.03Question: In this lesson, you revealed something interesting for me: All the manifestations of the Creator that I observe externally, it turns out, are within me. You said that through myself, I can reveal the Creator to all creations. How can this be done?

Answer: By attaining the Creator, we unite in His desire to fill all creations. This fulfillment depends on our development. It turns out that the more we develop, connect with one another, and feel the inner force of creation, the more we attain what the Creator manifests within us.

Question: Can we, through our unity, accelerate the development of all of creation with the purpose of revealing the Creator?

Answer: Of course. In doing so, we not only accelerate, but also reveal creation in a different way. It is one thing when we are unwilling to advance creation through our development, and another when the Creator does not need to lead us through various problems. Instead, we ourselves wish to uncover, study, correct, and fulfill these problems.

The Creator—Unity of Nature

436Question: What happens in the universe when a person discovers the Creator in every element of creation?

Answer: If a person discovers the Creator in every element of creation, they thereby reveal the Creator. Gradually, for them, the Creator becomes the only manifesting force of all nature.

This is what a person is given to reveal. In this, they begin to feel the unity of all that exists within the Creator.

Expand the Boundaries of Our Senses

276.02Question: You said that the feeling of the Creator comes to us after knowledge, attainment, and adhesion, and then we naturally reveal this force that is connected to us. What kind of work must we do to achieve this feeling?

Answer: We try to expand the boundaries of our perception so that they become filled with a greater feeling of the Creator. This is what we can achieve, and the Creator helps us in this process.

Question: How can one expand the boundaries of feeling the Creator?

Answer: Try. Just like in our world when you strive to understand, hear, or see something using all your senses, you gradually begin to perceive the manifestation of the Creator within yourself more broadly each time.

Revelation of Corruptions Is a Great Salvation from Above

275I rejoice in those revealed corruptions and the ones that are being revealed.

I do, however, regret and complain about the corruptions that have still not appeared, but which are destined to appear, for a hidden corruption is hopeless, and its surfacing is a great salvation from heaven. The rule is that one does not give what he does not have. Hence, if it has appeared now, there is no doubt that it was here to begin with but was hidden. This is why I am happy when they come out of their holes because when you cast your eye on them, they become a pile of bones (Baal HaSulam, Letter 5).

In other words, all corruptions will immediately turn from seemingly living disturbances into dead ones.

Baal HaSulam writes that he is very pleased with all the corruption, all the problems, and all the terrible traits that are revealed within him. Every day, they are uncovered in an increasingly unpleasant way. This signifies that a person is progressing.

He does not lament the emergence of new, terrible traits. On the contrary, he rejoices in them because their revelation means he is growing, rising higher, and becoming greater.

All these traits exist within a person from the very beginning; they originate from the shattering of the soul. They are revealed because the time has come, because one has earned the right for them to be revealed. This means one is already capable of correcting them.

This is why it is said that if you just look at them, that is, draw the upper light, they will immediately turn into a heap of bones, lose their power, and become a lifeless body.

Although at first, we are always horrified by the corruptions that are revealed, in the end, it is good. Ultimately, this is how we progress. It is only important to approach what arises within us with a sound mind and to remember that all of it comes from the Creator.

Where Does the Awakening from Below Come From?

232.08Question: Where does the awakening from below come from?

Answer: The awakening from below comes from the Kli, from the same system that gradually awakens from its shattered state. That is why increasingly shattered states are revealed in us; they progress from minor to major so that we may correct them.

All the awakened states reveal our shattering to us, our separation from each other and the Creator. Above these states, we must create a connection between us, not by erasing or leveling them, but by building bridges of connection between us despite them. That is the essence of correction.

In this process, we will have the left line (states awakened from above), the right line (corrections awakened by us with the help of the upper light), and the middle line where these two lines merge and produce a common result, that is, our adhesion with the Creator.
