A Kli Corresponding to Luck

282.01The correct Kli (vessel), which corresponds to luck, is our desire to receive when a person understands where he is and in what form he can unite with the Creator and perform the action of the reflected light, which raises him in accordance with the Hisaron (deficiency) that he created in the Creator. This is how they connect.

Question: What are the merits that make the light of Hochma shine?

Answer: These are the merits of using the opportunity to place your Kli under the upper light, which will be able to receive the light of Hochma in the middle line.

The Creator Knows Everything

558Question: Today our feelings are based on vessels of reception. At what point can we trust the heart to work from the desire to bestow? How can we avoid deceiving ourselves?

Answer: Act as best you can; the Creator does not require more from you. He knows all your intentions, thoughts, and abilities. He understands them clearly.

There are no options here to go around the Creator or to do anything differently, just open ourselves directly to Him.

Comment: Of course, you cannot deceive Him. But it turns out that we are deceiving ourselves and do not even understand it.

My Response: Ask the Creator, just in case, to open you and see what is inside you. As it is said: “Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before.” You must ask the Creator to open your heart and mind to you, to correct them, and to bring them closer to Him.

The Correct Reaction

534Question: If a person has fear, he or she must strengthen their faith in the Creator. If the fear is not leveled, one should not ask for it to be taken away because it comes from the Creator.

In this case, how do we work with fear correctly?

Answer: It does not matter. You can even ask the Creator to take away the fear and annul it. Even better, ask Him to raise you above this fear. This is the most important. It is good when you can react like that.

Question: But I do not want to fear the Creator, I want to be like Him, to adhere to Him, and to love Him. Is it possible to replace fear with love?

Answer: No, because we are egoists, there must be fear first, and then love.

A Small but Common Achievement

524.01Question: We are egoists. How can you moderate your egoism that wants everything at once and be content with a small, but common achievement for everyone?

Answer: We perform many actions and turn to the Creator with many requests.

Each of them, as it were, returns to us. Thus, we divide what we receive from the Creator into small parts, and little by little, we receive for His sake.

That is how we gradually get closer to the Creator, in the ten, and not each individually.

We must reach the Creator in a state where we can beg Him to give us a small part of His light, which we can endure to receive for the sake of bestowal.

How can a person use their full potential?

Answer: Just exert with all you have to unite with your friends and from your friends to the Creator.

Comment: I feel like I can do anything, but in the end they are mere specks.

Answer: No, these are not specks! These are sparks, small portions of upper light that should be cherished.

Between Holiness and Impurity

203Man is discerned as having three bodies:
1. The inner body, which is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha [holiness].
2. Klipat [shell of] Noga.
3. The serpent’s skin (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 247, “A Thought Is Regarded as Nourishment”).

Question: What role does Klipat Noga play in correction?

Answer: Klipat Noga is between holiness (Kedusha) and impurity (Klipot) and facilitates correction by sometimes being in Kedusha and sometimes in Klipa. With its help, we correct creation.

Question: How do the desires and thoughts of the Klipat Noga differ from the snakeskin, and do you even need to learn to discern them in yourself?

Answer: This will happen gradually, like in small children who still do not discern anything and then begin to feel more and more all kinds of nuances that exist in every desire, in every action.

The Importance of the Article “The Last Generation”

526Question: In the article “The Last Generation” Baal HaSulam asks us to imagine that today we found a certain historical book describing the last generation that will live 10,000 years from now, and that this book explains all the wisdom of statesmanship as well as all the paths of the individual and society realized at the end of days.

What does this mean? Are we talking about a Kabbalistic or some other book?

Answer: Precisely about Kabbalistic books. Of course, you can look through other books, but it is a foolish idea.

Question: In which Kabbalistic book can one learn about statesmanship?

Answer: In principle, very little is written about that. But Baal HaSulam wrote such books.

Question: As far as I understand, “The Last Generation” is the only article in which he described what all the structures of the state should be like when some people are already in a corrected state, how the courts, social services, etc. will work. Why did he not publish these articles? Did he not have time? Did he not want to?

Answer: I think he thought it was too early to publish them. Only 50 to 60 years after they had been written did they reach us and we began to publish them. They came to me through his eldest son Baruch Ashlag, my teacher. He gave me the originals, which are now kept in the archive.

Question: But did you and your teacher talk about these articles, did you study them?

Answer: We did not study them, but we talked about the subject.

Open Yourself to the Creator

239Question: How can the feeling of the Creator’s joy be conveyed to the group?

Answer: Open your heart and pass it on. Try to connect with the Creator and your friends in the ten and feel how your heart opens and everything in your heart pours out to your friends and through them to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to open yourself to the Creator? What is this action?

Answer: Ask the Creator to help you open your mind and heart and feel in them closeness to Him, i.e., to be connected to Him through feelings and thoughts.
