How Can You Get a Taste of Reality?

276.02Question: Baal HaSulam’s article “What Is ‘A Habit Becomes a Second Nature,’ in the Work?” says that because of this rule, we feel a taste of reality.

But when something becomes a habit, we just stop feeling the taste and are looking for something new. What does the taste of reality mean, and how do we even understand that this is reality and not our fantasies?

Answer: We have no way of understanding what is reality and what is not. We are not able to feel it. We perceive what the Creator gives us, so this is our reality.

Question: The article says that when two objects have the same feeling of reality, they are in adhesion. At the same time, it says here that the reality of the Creator is unattainable. How can we come to adhesion?

Answer: We do not know that. I act according to how I perceive others, including the Creator. That is all. We cannot check whether our feelings are true or not.

One Desire for Two

625.05Question: If the Creator gives a man and a woman connection through the heart, then is each one ready to do anything for the other?

Answer: I do not know how ready they are for everything, but if they are coming toward each other to be together and each one does what his partner wants from him, then they form a common desire in which the Creator is revealed.

Question: But the Creator also gives them this desire?

Answer: No, they must create this desire themselves. Each of them has their own desire, so they need to connect with each other to have one desire for both of them in which they do not feel any difference.

This should be such a fusion, a striving for each other when there is nothing else left but a feeling of unity.

Develop a Sense of Love

528.02Question: How can we work on increasing hatred for the desire to receive when there is some fear of awakening hatred inside?

Answer: If you are connected to the ten, you can awaken this evil and not be afraid that it will charge at you like an angry dog. The main thing is to connect with your friends, and then you will succeed.

Question: We know that without love, there is no hate, and without hate there is no love. Can we use this law, or is it too early?

Answer: You have to love the love and hate the hatred, push away the feeling of hate and attract to yourself the feeling of love.

The Atmosphere in the Ten

938.03Question: When a person is satisfied with the work, it is impossible to give him a higher degree because he does not need the help of the Creator.

On the other hand, Rabash writes that it is in the descent that one must see the ascent, a commandment induces a commandment. It turns out that this state has a purpose: at every moment to have Hissaron (Lack) and at the same time to be in joy and confidence.

How can I help my friends to be in such a state?

Answer: First of all, the ten should take care that everyone has a feeling that he is inside his friends and with them determines your spiritual state and leads you to the future one.

In other words, the role of the ten is to give a general atmosphere, and everyone does the inner work himself.

From the Feeling of Circular Connection

528.03Question: We tune in to the Creator through the light coming from Him. How do we feel the point where we should make a restriction on the desire to receive and start working for the sake of bestowing to the Creator?

Answer: We should always try to feel mutually connected in one circle, in the center of which we want to reveal the Creator. A circle is a ten. Everything that we have from our connection with each other, we want to pass on to the Creator.

What State Does the Creator Want Us to Be In?

168You should attach an intention to each of your actions: why am I doing this, what for, with whom, and so on. And then you will have a completed action, as it said that the commandment without intention is like a body without a soul.

Question: What should I feel from this? What is the expected result?

Answer: Wait for the result from the Creator.

We should not think about what state we are in but about what state the Creator wants us to be in. That is the right intention. You will act accordingly based on this.

Questions about Spiritual Work—27

263Question: When a person sinks to the bottom of his egoism, he reveals that he is a nobody since he cannot fix anything and cannot blame anyone for this. And here there is a hole, emptiness. How can you believe that this can change?

Answer: We must fill this emptiness with the quality of bestowal, rapprochement, and love.

Question: We hate the evil in ourselves, i.e., the desire to receive. But we cannot hate each other because we reveal the evil within ourselves. How is it possible that two people hate each other? And that is the question.

Answer: This is not a question, this is reality. If two people hate each other, then they hate the same property, only in different people, each in the other.

Question: Should the evil principle know that we hate it?

Answer: Of course. There is no need to hide it.

Question: What should we do if we in the ten do not feel either the front side or the back side of the Creator?

Answer: Love each other, and you will find the Creator among you.

External and Internal Parts of the World

177.06Question: What are the internal and external parts of the world?

Answer: The internal is desires, and the external is their fulfillment. But it also happens in a different way.

Question: How does it take such a form when the people of the world are called the external part of the world and Israel is the internal?

Answer: The internal part is always more important, and the external part is its consequence. Therefore, Israel, being responsible for filling the world with the upper light, is called the internal part, and the people who receive this light are called the external part.

Question: What does it mean we are responsible for filling the world?

Answer: Depending on how we behave, what desire we raise to the Creator and ask Him to fill, the Creator fills that desire.

Question: Does the fact that I raise some kind of desire to the Creator affect the world and fill it?

Answer: Certainly. And that is what every person in the world should do. It is just that their desires are very small.
