Question: What does the revelation of the Creator between us mean? How do we feel it?

Answer: The attainment of the Creator between us occurs when each person sees the Creator, who is revealed before him in others.

Question: While not on spiritual levels, can we reveal Him or not?

Answer: No. How could we? He is revealed only on condition that we unite and desire that our unity reveals the Creator to each of us.

Question: So are all the ideas that those who come to Kabbalah have about some connection with the Creator false?

Answer: In general, yes.

Question: I am growing and developing as a person on the animal level, and my animal desires are constantly growing. But if I engage in spirituality, my spiritual desires also constantly grow. In the end, I can’t focus on anything, and I keep getting pulled from one thing to another. How can I balance spiritual and material life?

Answer: This is not balanced by us. A person should take care of their animal life reasonably, and dedicate all the rest of the time and effort to spiritual attainment, which means striving for connection with others in the ten to become more like the Creator.

I can’t tell a woman that she must get married and have children, that is her personal decision. As for men, they are, in principle, more obligated to be married than women. We strongly encourage men to marry because they become more stable, diligent, and consistent. But a woman is stable on her own, so there aren’t such strict requirements for her.

Ultimately, whether or not a woman marries is her choice. But the goal is to devote as much time as possible to spirituality, and to material things, let me quote the original source, only the necessary amount.

And add a bit more joy to your life; this is very necessary. If you don’t feel joy in life, it means you are blaming the Creator for your discomfort.

Question: It is said that if a person does not believe that there is something divine present within the concealment, then he flees from the battlefield. We seem to understand this, but why is it so difficult to believe in practice that there is something divine present within the concealment?

Answer: I don’t think it’s difficult. And who creates this concealment? It is a special action of the Creator, and another special action is His revelation. Both are done by Him.

We need nothing but the right prayer, the right request to the Creator to remove this concealment. And when you feel that everything is revealed before you, you will simply be amazed at what you can see, feel, and be filled with. It will lift you up as if you have become a balloon.

Question: What is the difference between a descent and exile, and how can we avoid confusing them?

Answer: A descent is the loss of the importance of spirituality in my eyes. I feel that compared to what I had before, I have now fallen and no longer value spirituality as I once did. A descent is necessary to lead me to a subsequent ascent.

Exile is a state where I have no connection to spirituality at all, not with descents nor with ascents. I am simply disconnected from spirituality, meaning I don’t feel more or less connected to it, and it doesn’t concern me.

If it does concern me, if I feel much worse than I did yesterday, then it is not exile, but a descent through which the Creator is urging me to return to Him.

Question: How can you infect a ten with your Hisaron?

Answer: If we are connected to each other in the ten as much as possible and we begin to talk about our states, then we come to the realization of why we are together, why we cannot be connected more than now, and the reason for our spiritual illnesses and suffering. In this way, we come to the point of turning to the Creator and asking Him for healing.

Question: If a person physically suffers from some disease, is this help for a spiritual growth?

Answer: Of course this is help. After all, a person could be sick and not feel that he is sick, or die and not feel that he must die. Therefore, all feelings concerning pain, illness, and healing that the Creator evokes in a person are necessary in order to help him recover.

Question: How do we establish a dialogue with the ten as with the Creator that includes the whole world?

Answer: It depends on your states within the ten and outside of it.

Question: What is more important, dialogue with the ten or with Him?

Answer: Of course, dialogue with the Creator is higher, but without going through the ten, you won’t be able to reach Him.

A wise man came and gave him a cure that helped him. Later, when he came to the doctors to do tests for his illness, they determined that he was completely well and there was nothing wrong with him. Clearly, at that time he is delighted and cannot say that he has nothing from which to derive vitality. Instead, his joy is immense (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 137, “The Lack Is the Kli [Vessel]”).

What are true spiritual pleasures? These are the pleasures of being connected and being able to mutually help one another; it is rising from our personal problems to common problems necessary for collective healing. In this case, we call upon the Creator for help, and He gladly assists us.

Our problem lies in uncovering the actual cause of our suffering and asking the Creator to free us from it.

Question: What deficiency gives birth to true spiritual pleasure?

Answer: The desire to be spiritually healthy.

Question: What is the kind of faith during suffering that can work for bestowal only with the help of the Creator?

Answer: It is a special quality—a person’s faith that; first of all, one is striving not for healing but to understand the root of healing, its cause. Then, a person finds the method of recovery.

Such faith always arises from realizing one’s helplessness so that a person finds the Creator as the cause of everything happening to them.

The intensity of the request to the Creator depends on understanding the reason for our condition, which is that everything comes from Him. Therefore, we must ask the Creator to come closer to Him to reveal the true essence of all existence. In this way, we can move forward toward healing.

I believe that in our days the people of Israel will rise and unite. After all, the external pressure on us is growing day by day, squeezing the ring around us more and more tightly. And the nations of the world’ seem to support this pressure, making claims against us that we are not fulfilling what is assigned to us.

We have no choice but to understand the reason for this attitude toward us, which has been going on for thousands of years and has recently become simply critical.

There has never been a time when other nations have blamed the people of Israel and wanted to completely erase them. We have to start changing; there is no more time to wait because everything that the prophets and Kabbalists wrote about has already happened to us. However, no unity emerged among the people. Apparently, a group is needed that will reveal the need for this connection and lead the entire Israeli people and then all nations to correction.

The people of Israel still do not live up to what they should be. You have to learn this. The main problem is that we do not understand our mission, the purpose of our existence, or our duty toward all nations of the world, all mankind.

We must study all this, accept it as a law of nature, and fulfill our destiny. Otherwise we will not be able to continue to exist here. The whole nation is obligated to unite as one man with one heart; there is no other solution.

The solution lies only in the correct unification through which we will raise ourselves above all and be able to show all other nations an example of what the only correct form of existence for all should be. This is the kind of unification that Kabbalists talk about; that is, complete unity as one man with one heart, when everyone is a friend to everyone else and has no other aspiration in life than to be one nation.

When more such groups strive to unite within themselves, they will also find a way to connect with each other. This help will come from above. And when those who understand that humanity must take a step forward toward common unification come together, we will be able to move toward a general correction of creation.
