The Science of Working on the Heart

214Kabbalah is called a hidden science because it is revealed only to those who use it correctly, that is, through their unification and building a system of connections between them. They reveal this science within this network of connections.

The science of Kabbalah is not a product of the human mind, like some abstruse theory. To study Kabbalah, you do not have to be a person of particularly sharp mind. The main thing this science requires is that a person is ready and able to work on one’s heart.

These people must be able to organize their desires in such a way that all the desires of one person complement the desires of another one, and another one, etc. In this form, they build a network of connections between them in which they reveal the common power of bestowal, that is, the Creator.

Request for Love

239Question: The Creator does not give charity (alms), He gives a gift. How and what should we ask for?

Answer: I cannot advise you about what to ask. It should come from the heart. But, between us, there is nothing more to ask from the Creator except love. He gives us everything, and love only upon request.

938.03At the convention you need to try to feel love for each other without paying attention to a person’s external qualities. The main thing is that everyone has this special quality of being chosen by the Creator to participate in our world group. That is why I agree with the Creator and am ready to be with these friends. I constantly try to get closer to them.

Multiple connections happen here: the merging of each one of us with a friend, the merging with the ten and through our ten with other tens, and in general with everyone together so that there is a combination of all our qualities and desires. It turns out that there is our common Kli, a common desire with common feelings, and it is even impossible to make out where I am, where you are, and where he or she is.

Everything weaves together into one tangle and merges into one ball where we see only a single force that created us, united us, and brought us to it. And within this force we unite all together without any distinction between us. This is the unification of creation with the Creator.

Is It Worth Diving into the News?

504Question: I have a question about reading the news. I can skim through the headlines and feel one internal impact from it. I can also go deeper and after seeing some terrible things, my internal demand for correction naturally increases. Or I can generally isolate myself from everyone, not read the news, but focus, say, on working with the ten. Such inner sensitivity to what is happening seems to depend on me.

Depending on the extent I immerse myself in the news, I can sort of change my sensitivity. Where is the correct balance of the extent I should immerse myself in these things?

Answer: Immerse yourself in them as much as you can and by doing so direct yourself more precisely to the purpose of creation, which is to connect with the entire humanity and with the Creator into one whole.

Connect Everything to the Creator

610.2Question: How can one not feel evil when it is really revealed in the world? How do we justify the Creator’s governance?

Answer: We are obliged to justify the governance of the Creator in all cases, whatever they may be. We must constantly return ourselves to the state that any revealed evil leads to good, to correction, to improvement of the state; otherwise we would never change.

The perception of everything that comes to us and attributing it to the Creator depends on us. Moreover, one must relate to everything in such a way that there is none else besides Him, and thus make efforts in all circumstances not to break away from the feeling that this comes precisely from the Creator.

Question: When evil or some kind of suffering is revealed, can a Kabbalist align this with the Creator and enjoy the connection with Him?

Answer: When a Kabbalist feels evil and understands that it seems to come from the Creator, he raises himself to a state in which he feels that it is truly good.

In this state he connects with the Creator, and this connection gives him pleasure and the opportunity to justify the Creator.

The First Step to Connection

629.1Question: Wars and fear for oneself, for one’s life, still drive a person into the same dead end where he wants to save himself and not think about others. How can we feel the friends and other people? Where can we start to feel that we are on the correct path?

Answer: To do this we need to ask the Creator to help us connect with our friends so that we feel not ourselves, but our common unity, and thus we move forward.

The first step toward connection begins with the fact that we want to rise above ourselves and connect together in one desire and in one intention toward the Creator.

Feel the Same as a Friend

530Question: How do we understand what we really invest into each other as much as we can? How can we increase our sensitivity to the other in order to feel what he or she needs at this very moment?

Answer: It depends on your attitude toward him or her. You have to put yourself in his place, make sure that you feel him. In this way, you will gradually reach a state where you will feel the same as he does.

Who Will Help if not the Friends

934There is one main question: How can a person help himself get out of a descent? In fact, a trusted remedy that saves us in the most difficult conditions is the help of a friend. The friend is at the same degree, the same level, and in the same nature as me.

And if I am not able to save myself and rise from the state of falling, then I can do it with the help of a friend. When a friend connects with me, he can add strength, energy, and awakening to me, and thus save me.

Therefore, if we want to advance and climb the spiritual steps higher and higher, then we have the only means, which are to look for friends so that together with them, by helping each other, we can ascend into the spiritual.

There is no one to expect help from, except friends. The main thing is to support each other and hope that friends will help. In fact, the whole system is built in such a way that we must unite and move forward together. Therefore we have no other option but to help one another. We will all unite, and the greater the connection, the greater the ascent, the higher and higher we rise toward the goal of creation.
It turns out that it is possible to climb the spiritual ladder only to the extent that we unite and help each other.

It is necessary to understand that by helping a friend, I am actually helping myself. By wanting to give strength to a friend, to help him climb his spiritual degrees, I raise myself up. With the help of “they helped every one his friend,” we can rise higher and higher.

Once the final goal is reached, everyone connects with everyone, and everyone incorporates into a friend and a friend into him, and we all turn into a system similar to the first man, Adam HaRishon. But the power of this system, this Adam, becomes 620 times greater than what it was before.

Due to the fact that the Creator created this system and then broke us, He gave us the opportunity to connect above our egoism. And when we overcome our separation, our egoism, we raise ourselves to the peak of human existence 620 times higher than the one we had at the beginning of creation.

Therefore the more we connect and interconnect with each other, starting with a ten and then wider and wider, we get much closer to the final correction and eventually we will achieve it.

Open Your Heart to Love the World

504Each of us lacks only one thing—to try to open his heart. If a person opens his heart, in comes love of friends, which is the root of the love of the Creator. That is, love of the Creator is established in him, and he begins to feel the upper force.

Love of friends is a necessary condition; it is the stream through which love of the Creator flows, absolute love. It solves all problems and connects all hearts. And then a person begins to feel what is really happening in the world.

A person realizes that there is no material world but only absolute love called love of the world that embraces him from all sides. And in the light of this love, he reveals the whole reality, the whole universe from one end to another.
