Powerlessness And the Power of Egoism

115Question: Why does the Creator put a person in a situation where they must feel powerless? What does it achieve?

Answer: The powerlessness is of your ego, which cannot manage, cope, understand, or realize anything. It cannot grasp the true structure of the soul.

Question: It seems like the Creator causes problems for me to prevent me from becoming a link between creation and Him. Why does He do this? What does He want from me?

Answer: He wants you to desire to break away from your ego.

Question: Is my ego what prevents me from entering this process?

Answer: No, the ego does not prevent us. We should not destroy or annul it. We must learn to work with it properly. If you use the ego to receive everything from the Creator and pass it on to other created beings, it will help you.

How else will you contact other created beings? How else will you receive from the Creator? That is why the ego was created. Think about how to use it, and you will see that it is essential.

That is why the Creator created the ego; it is to bring creation to its normal form.

Justification Leading to Adhesion with the Creator

032.01Question: How can we justify the Creator when the past falls on us like we have not accomplished something? How do we work with the fact that we must justify the Creator?

Answer: At every moment of our existence, we must feel the Creator as the one determining our state and we must justify these states.

Justifying means recognizing that each state brings us, through our friends, to connection with the Creator and raises us to the next level.

Clarifications with the Creator

282.01Question: What should we do to clarify the pleasure and joy that the Creator has revealed between us? How do we determine whether they are from bestowal or from reception?

Answer: It is too early to make such distinctions. For now we should focus on revealing all possible relationships between us and bringing them into order.

Only after that can we consolidate what we bestow to the Creator in various situations and how He influences us differently. By combining these feelings, we can elevate them to the level of bestowal. This is how we come closer to the Creator.

Bring Contentment to the Creator and Creation

243.07A person comes to receive pleasure from bestowal when the Creator desires it. To make Him want this, one must ask Him.

Question: How can I understand that my desire coincides with the Creator’s desire?

Answer: You will feel this by the way He relates to you.

Question: What is the Creator’s pleasure in this?

Answer: It depends on what the person desires.

Revealing One’s Attitude to the Creator

557Question: Where does the correction of transgression start from? Should we attribute everything to the Creator’s governance or should we recognize our personal flaws?

Answer: You should recognize your flaws.

Question: How do we connect these different points? Who is responsible for this? Did the Creator set me up or was there some flaw in me? What comes first?

Answer: Your initial egoism is the flaw.

Question: Suppose I accept that the root of the flaw is my egoism. What is the bridge to understanding that it was actually the Creator who did this, and that I should turn to Him rather than blame and torment myself?

Answer: Do not blame and torment yourself. You should only stay connected with us, with the books, the study, and the group, and from this, try to reveal the framework of our attitude to the Creator.

The Law of the Integral System

929With this collective responsibility, which we need to reach and accept each member of the nation was liberated from worrying about the needs of his own body and could observe the Mitzva, “Love your friend as yourself” in the fullest measure and give all that he had to any needy person since he no longer cared for the existence of his own body, as he knew for certain that he was surrounded by six hundred thousand [a Kabbalistic number] loyal lovers standing ready to provide for him (Baal HaSulam,“The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee).”

In the state of mutual guarantee we are like cells in a healthy organism working entirely for the common body. No one works for themselves. This is the law of integral interconnection of parts.

Any integral, analog system is designed so that each of its elements works solely to keep the entire system in order and does everything within its capacity. As a result, the system is in absolute interconnection, mutual guarantee, and an absolutely stable state. No matter what happens, each element cares for maintaining the whole system and ensures it remains in constant equilibrium.

This equilibrium is dynamic, but it is never interrupted because each element includes the feelings of all others and cares only for their collective existence. No one thinks about themselves, and thus the whole system functions properly. All of nature is arranged and operates according to this principle except for us humans.

The Prerequisite for Rising

938.03If there are ten people in that body, it has ten times more power than a single person does.

However, there is a condition: When they gather, each of them should think that he has now come for the purpose of annulling self-love. It means that he will not consider how to satisfy his will to receive now, but will think as much as possible only of the love of others. (Rabash, Articles “Love of Friends – 2”)

Although a person may not feel, understand, or want it, they must still try to think this way.

This is the only way to acquire the desire and the need to acquire a new quality, called “the will to bestow.” And from love of friends one can reach love of the Creator, meaning wanting to give contentment to the Creator.

In fact, this is a game. What does a game mean? We do not want to give anything or love anyone, but we understand that if we do not attain such a quality, we will remain animals in our world and die as such animals.

Nothing will work out in our life neither for ourselves nor for others. Therefore, if we gather in a ten, it is the only opportunity where we can combine our efforts, desires, and requests, and receive such a force that will lift us above our egoism.

This is the principle of the so-called love of friends; that is, there is no love, but if we connect even our small “agreements,” it is enough to begin rising spiritually.

The Mission of Kabbalists

945Question: In our dissemination we explain to people that the world is an integral system that functions like a human body. And they perceive it positively. They agree that we must become a unified system.

What is our next step? Do we need to tell them that they should study Kabbalah or something else?

Answer: We need to explain to them how we can become an integral system. After all, we cannot do this by ourselves, but only if we are affected by the special upper force that is able to unite us.

How can we evoke the influence of the upper force that can unite our egoistic desires so that we complement each other like the cells in the body?

We cannot do this by ourselves.

Each of us is a separate little egoist closed in himself. But there is a positive force outside of us that can do this. And the science of Kabbalah teaches us how to induce its influence on ourselves.

It explains how to get together, try to connect, what actions to take; i.e., how to do everything so that the upper force begins to affect us. This is our mission. We ourselves must learn to use this opportunity and show it to others.
