Prayer—Impact on The General System

595.03When a person does some corporeal lust, the lust is not regarded as a construction because it is only temporary. When the lust passes away, nothing is left of it, such as eating and drinking, and so forth. But when one learns or prays, this exists after the action, too (Rabash, Notes 690 “This World and the Future”).

Question: What remains after our spiritual action, study, and prayer?

Answer: The overall impact on our relationship system remains. After all, the fact that we were in prayer for unification and uplift is all the impact on the system.

Question: How can we build the right intention so that the system really changes and we correct something in our prayer, in our studies?

Answer: This is what Rabash writes about. If a person means that through his actions and prayers he wants to rise, then gradually this affects the system, and it lifts him up.

Main Corrections

294.2Question: Is the perception of all the Creator’s actions as rewards one of the spiritual goals?

Answer: In general, yes. The Creator does only good and treats us as His children.

Just as we punish children when we want them to be better and remember some things cannot be done, so does He.

Question: I really don’t want to get punished. What main corrections should I make so as not to suffer?

Answer: Treat everyone around you kindly and pray to the Creator that you want to be closer to Him.

Good Deed

600.02Question: What does it mean to inform the Creator about an action I do for bestowal?

Question: How should I inform Him about my actions?

Answer: Like a friend.

Question: What does a good deed mean in general?

Reshimot—Records of Past States

36Question: Why are Reshimot called “the past”? In my perception, Reshimot are what is being revealed to me now. For me, it is kind of the future.

Answer: Reshimot are impressions and records of my past states. They may currently determine my tastes, actions, and choices, but they originate from the past.

Question: I am unaware of the many Reshimot I have yet to discover. So does it mean that I always return and encounter the past?

Answer: Reshimot are the light that was in us and disappeared. Its impressions are called informational, spiritual records.

Question: These are Kelim (vessels) for me. But right now, I cannot use, for example, the Kelim that I do not feel. Am I, as if, expanding my perception to enjoy these Kelim? Is this what I still need to do?

Answer: You still have much to do.

I Want to See the World as Corrected

237Question: We learn that when my Kelim (Vessels) are corrected, I will see my friends as corrected, right?

Answer: Yes. Everything negative you perceive in the world—people, the group, yourself, or anything else—is yours. These are all your negative qualities.

Question: When my Kelim are corrected, will the light pass through these corrections further, and will something outside also change? Should I see that this is happening?

Answer: Not necessarily, not immediately, and not according to what you want to be corrected. Otherwise, you will be working for a reward.

Question: There is another point; it is said that one who prays for the collective receives correction first. Is there a catch here? Every time I encounter this, it does not sit well with me. I want the correction to be outside.

Answer: Then pray for that.

This World and the Future World

928Question: What do the future world and this world mean?

Answer: The future world is the one you do not feel right now, but it will soon reveal itself within you. This world is what you experience at the moment.

Question: It says that the masses can only receive rewards in the world to come, while those who work individually can receive rewards even in this world. What does it mean to work individually, and how can one receive in this world?

Answer: By studying the wisdom of Kabbalah in a group and trying to address the Creator, you do individual work.

With the help of the group, you elevate yourself and address Him. Then, in this world, you receive the reward—the revelation of the Creator.

How to Approach the Ultimate Truth

507.04Question: You often say that spiritual sensations cannot be conveyed and can only be felt. In our world, we understand everything only in relation to its opposite, but in the spiritual world a completely different logic includes everything and all opposites are united.

The problem is that it is impossible to understand or talk about. What should we do with it?

Answer: Just do what you can and ask the Creator to open your heart.

Question: If I have some sense of what truth is, how can this influence my friends to get closer to it too?

Answer: You should pray for everyone, at least for your friends.

Question: If I do this, it would still correct me; then when I am corrected, would I be able to influence my friends correctly?

Answer: Yes, the whole world.

Question: Can there be influence coming from me, even without words, just through my prayer? How does this happen?

Answer: I cannot say how it happens, but it happens even without words, only by virtue of your desire. But it is best with words. We are made so that the more we express our feelings, the more effective they are.

Question: When I express my feelings, they often seem corrupt and impure and bring only harm. I do not know what to do about it. Should I stay quiet?

Answer: Do not worry; the Creator knows what is happening to us and who we are. So do what works best for you.

Questions about Spiritual Work—155

281.02Question: Can we attribute anything to the Creator one hundred percent if the Creator is hidden from us?

Answer: You can attribute everything that happens to you to the Creator.

Question: Is the concealment only for the desire for oneself?

Answer: The concealment can be for any desire, even the highest.

Question: There is such a desire to open up to the Creator, to dissolve in Him, to cleave to Him, but there is not enough strength to push off and rise. Where can one find this strength?

Answer: In prayer.

Question: With our egoism, we constantly disagree with the will of the Creator. How can we agree and thank Him?

Answer: In principle, a person must agree with the Creator, regardless of their situation. Whatever the Creator gives them, they must still show love and connection to Him.

Question: You said that each time we reveal a new Creator. What does that mean?

Answer: It means that He indeed appears as something new in our feelings.
