For the Unification of the People of Israel

962.6Question: Should we pray for the people of Israel to unite because they are the most broken? How should you direct yourself correctly in this regard?

Answer: To direct oneself correctly means to aim for such a unification among themselves that every nation comes to understand that a bright future can only be in unification between them.

Only in this way will we attain everything we desire, except one thing—to rule over others, to dictate to others—and will each person to understand what one’s uniqueness is, what one’s work is, and what one should do in order to benefit others.

And others will do the same for him or her, and absolute mutual love and care for one another, everyone, and everything will reign.

This is inherent in nature, it is how it should and will be. Only all this depends on us today, how much we can get at least one step closer to this. For this reason, wars occur.

Question: Should we in our prayer, internally help the people of Israel in uniting among themselves?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary to unite at this level, defend ourselves, and correct ourselves. However, the most important thing for us is to disseminate this idea to all of humanity.

“Seek the Lord While He Is Found.”

527.03It is written about this: “Seek the Lord while He is found.” That is, when the Creator presents Himself to you for asking, then you will necessarily seek Him, too, for it is man’s way to move first. In other words, the Creator first gives you the heart to seek Him.

When you know this, you will certainly grow stronger, as strong as you can ask, for the King is calling you” (Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 52).

We must constantly seek the Creator. He awakens a desire for Him in us, but in fact, He is still concealed, and we need to do some actions to come closer to Him, to find Him.

Question: How can we understand that the Creator reveals Himself for us to seek Him and that we need to make a movement in response to Him?

Answer: You can make the movement to Him only according to your desires. Where does your desire for the Creator come from? It is because He gave it to you. After all, the Creator is always the first, everything starts with Him.

If you have desire for the Creator: “Where is He, what, how am I with Him?”, it is only because He awakens such desires in you.

And you have to try to come closer to Him and cling to Him.

If a Friend Distanced Himself from the Ten

624.02Question: If a friend has distanced himself from the ten, what efforts can we make to awaken his heart?

Answer: Just pray. At the same time, you must show that you are connected with each other and helping each other so that he sees the ten in a state of correction.

We need to continue to pray for all those who have left us because ultimately they must come back and correct themselves.

Question: What does it mean to see my corrections?

Answer: To see my corrections means that I begin to treat my friends in the ten like family.

The World Needs Correction through Unity

214Gradually, the nations of the world will agree that we must live in friendship and cooperation, and in rapprochement between us. After all, there can be no progress in moving humanity forward otherwise.

Therefore, we are approaching a state where part of humanity will begin to understand that rapprochement between nations is necessary not only to avoid wars; it is a necessity coming from nature itself, from its source, the Creator.

The difficult situation in the country will force people to become interested in the wisdom of Kabbalah. Although they are accustomed to associating Kabbalah with some kind of miracles, mysticism, or rituals, in fact, Kabbalah teaches the structure of reality, which includes the entire universe, all people, all inanimate matter, plants, and animals, that is, the entire nature of the universe without exception.

We must understand that we live in a world that needs correction through unity. There is a lot of work ahead to oblige all the inhabitants of the world to think about this. There is no other way to reach the correction of the world and come to peace and tranquility, to a good life, so as not to be reincarnated in this world, which is falling to the lowest point of reality, unless we connect into one man with one heart.

A person must clearly realize this so that in the turmoil of this life, no matter how confused he is every day by the billions of people around him, he still does not become disconnected from the purpose of life and does not fall under the control of desires for wealth, power, knowledge or when his only concern is for food, sex, and family.

In the Fight against the Evil Inclination

200.02Question: If our world group comes to an internal war with its evil inclination, will it help the world?

Answer: Of course. Only in this way can we come to complete correction (Gmar Tikkun); it is only by fighting with our egoism and turning to the Creator so that He helps us in this.

Question: Is it possible to say that we see an external war because we cannot use the light attracted by us for greater connection?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why does a person fall into such feelings that the Creator does not help him?

Answer: Because he needs to invest much more of himself in connection with the Creator.

610.2Question: The whole history of humanity is full of wars, terrible wars. The history of  Israel is full of wars. We know the Holocaust the Israeli people experienced during the War. It turns out that nothing helps, although it is constantly beaten. How much can it be beaten?

Answer: Until we get smarter and all the egoism is knocked out of us.

Question: Are there winners in war, and is it correct to say that reconciliation is the winner?

Answer: Only the Creator can act as the winner, and we want to see such a war. It is a war in which egoism will be defeated and peace will be restored throughout the Earth.

Strengthen Your Thoughts

944Question: Can we choose which of our thoughts to follow?

Answer: In general, yes. We choose, sort, and strengthen our thoughts with our connection.

That is, you should have extra confidence based on the fact that you are in a group, and everyone is interested in gathering in one single force, in one single opinion, and in a single aim toward a single goal. Then it is called a group.

Question: How do we strengthen this confidence among friends?

Answer: There are many articles by Baal HaSulam and Rabash about this.

We need to talk to each other, encourage each other, and in order to manage this, we appoint a person in charge every day to awaken the friends.

Make Hatred Turn into Love

547.01Question: Why aren’t there two separate states in people, love or hatred, so that a man can work between them, but there is also such a Klipa (impurity) when national love becomes fascism and chauvinism that unites people out of hatred for others. Why does this third form exist?

Answer: This is an extreme form of egoism. People just often confuse it with love for their people.

Question: If you ask your neighbors whether they love their people, they will say: “Of course we do, but in order for us to live happily, we need to destroy our enemies.” Why do people confuse this with love?

Answer: Because if you love someone who is against you, then you are an enemy of your people. And if you hate him and destroy him, then you are a hero for your people.

Question: It turns out that there is some kind of confusion in the world. Why did the Creator not make it so that there were simply two extreme states: hatred and love? Then you could choose.

Answer: People get confused and think that they are in love, although it has nothing to do with love at all. But if love and hatred were separate, then you could not transform hatred into love. It would be just like you tame animals, and they sell themselves to you for food.

Our goal is to transform hatred into love. That is the whole point.

Therefore, the hatred that develops among nations toward other nations must exist. It must be recognized as the wrong hatred and must be transformed into the right awareness of what I hate and what I love.

Question: Is it possible that in the corrected state your neighbors, who are now firing rockets at you, will love you and say: “We love our neighbors”?

Answer: This does not happen right away. This cannot be done in one step. But we know of cases when former mortal enemies became devoted friends.

Question: So, you see that sooner or later this will happen?

Answer: I am sure that this is the way it should be because the more hatred is manifested, the more love will be manifested. We need to explain to people that this is the law of nature.

Question: Should it be a global universal love so that a person can rise above all differences?

Answer: Yes. Ultimately, this will be so because from unity in the ten we come to unity with the Creator. And therefore, we rise above all the forces of nature in unification and love, and all the forces of nature unite within us: both love and hatred.

Don’t Forget about the Creator

568.01Question: What should we do if we make an hourly effort to love our friends, but the heart of the friend does not awaken? Does this mean I am not putting in enough effort, or is the effort itself incorrect?

Answer: There is no Creator in this effort. The Creator must be with you in your desire to get closer to the heart of your friend. Do not forget about the Creator in any of your actions. Only then will they be successful.

Question: I have a desire to combine self-hatred and the desire to love friends into a single whole. How can I connect these two states?

Answer: This can be done, but gradually. Try it once, then another time, and you will slowly get used to it.
