In light of everything that is happening in the outside world and within us, we need to connect even more strongly and unite around the principle “There is none else besides the Creator.”

In this way we can awaken a connection with the common force of nature that will help us and give us reason, feelings, strength, and opportunities for greater and greater unity in order to constantly move toward the complete correction of the entire world.

It is known that in our world there are two forces: plus and minus, the force of good and the force of evil, good and bad states. But in fact, this is not so because there is no evil force directed against the Creator.

“There is none else besides Him”; that is, there is no force opposing the Creator, and everything that happens comes from only one force, from the Creator. Everything He does is aimed at bringing us closer to Him despite the resistance of the evil force that He also controls.

It turns out that two forces supposedly emanate from the Creator. But one should not think that there are two Creators, one good and one evil. It is just that the force that acts to our detriment is our own egoism that lives within us. Therefore, we need to separate these two forces within ourselves so that the good force that we can attract from the Creator begins to rule over us. Otherwise, we will be ruled by the force of evil, as the Creator said: “I have created the evil inclination.”

This is our work: all the time, in any state, try to discern that there is only one force in the world and that our egoism acts against it and does not allow us to cleave to this only good force of the Creator.

Question: You said we should try to be ready for changes. What does it mean to be ready for changes?

Answer: The fact is we will never be ready for changes because they are always new and we cannot foresee them in advance. But when we all want to grow the connection between us, we very quickly feel the state we are in and what we can change to come to mutual guarantee.

But we can never be ready for the next degree because new qualities get revealed in us. Therefore, we must help each other constantly to figure out together the states we undergo and what is left for us to do.

Trying to be ready for changes means that everyone is in internal connection with their friends and that no matter what happens, we are always determined to help each other. No matter the differences between us, we always try to support each other, be closer to each other, and stay interconnected.

Question: One should always see oneself as half guilty and half innocent. Is it the same for Israel and the nations of the world?

Answer: It is for those who advance toward their correction.

Question: How can we prevent the inner part or quality of Israel from sinking lower and lower?

Answer: Raise it higher and higher by uniting with each other, and the connection between us becomes stronger and stronger.

Question: What are we missing to balance the force of evil with the force of good?

Answer: We lack the Creator coming closer to us and being revealed between us. Then this force will rule over us, and we will be completely different—kind, responsive, and sympathetic to each other, like one man with one heart.

Demonstrations, party struggles for power, screams in the streets, and hatred that split the nation—this is the situation in Israel on the eve of the war.

We must fight against our disunity. And the problem is not that people belong to different parties, have different opinions, and demonstrate, but that they want to cancel each other, and thus weaken each other. After all, if I argue with someone, I am obliged to respect him to the same extent, and recognize his right for his own opinion, which may be correct.

Now, in wartime, it seems that hatred has disappeared, and the people are united in mutual support. The pain is so strong that we have forgotten about our hatred. But we have not gone far away from the state that was before the war, and a few days may be enough for us to return to it.

While we are united by common pain, we present one front and have put aside our mutual hatred. But it has not gone anywhere. We see wonderful examples of mutual assistance and self-sacrifice, but all this is a consequence of the blow we have received. And as soon as the external threat weakens and moves away, all the hatred will again spill out from within.

After all, everyone remained devoted to their own opinion. Unity means that I am ready to cancel myself in order to unite with the other—and so we are all among ourselves. Meanwhile there is no such unity and mutual guarantee among the people, but there is a state that Baal HaSulam calls “brothers in misfortune.”

We see many examples of how people are now canceling themselves for the common good, and are ready to help each other, donate, and defend the country. But we should not delude ourselves because this is happening under the pressure of a common tragedy, and we cannot transfer this unity to another level in order to continue correct development.

We need to reach absolute zero where there is no external influence obliging us to unite, and from this zero point begin to build our unity, not because an external threat is pressing on us, but because we ourselves decide to live this way in good connection with each other and want to get closer, feel, and love each other. This requires a change of consciousness, and not external pressure.

Question: If women put pressure on the world and demand connection from men, would such a demand replace wars for us?

Answer: Maybe such pressure would help both men and women. But this does not free women from working among themselves. They must come to the connection with each other to the connection with the Creator, and in addition, from their connection, turn to the men, and oblige them to unite too.

If women raise their common MAN, prayer, it will be a huge force. Huge!

Question: How should our prayer change with regard to what is happening in the world?

Answer: Prayer practically should not change. We ask the Creator to reveal Himself a little more between us.

Then we will understand what we must do to be connected with Him forever.

Question: Is connecting in order to bring contentment to the Creator and connecting against an external enemy ultimately the same thing?

Answer: In general, yes. There is an action, and there is a consequence.

If we had connected before the action occurred, we would have canceled the action. There are many actions that are ready for us, but we do not receive and do not feel them. They are not revealed because we change and correct them even before they materialize in this world.

Question: Why does the Creator first show my inner contradiction from the outside as if it were a problem in other people rather than in me?

Answer: It is so that you understand exactly what your problem is. He shows it to you in connection with others.

If you begin to change what you see in yourself to love, then your depiction of the world would partially change.

Question: Why is it only partially?

Answer: It is because there are steps in it
