Spiritual worlds are built upon connection of opposites: light and darkness, plus and minus, bestowal and reception, that is, all kinds of inverse qualities in all their forms.

If we can ignore these differences so that it is not the change of qualities that is important to us but the connection, which means that we raise the connection above the oppositeness of qualities, then we will reveal their common upper root inside them. In this way, we will reveal the Creator, the common upper force, and we will reveal the upper reality in this form.

The upper world differs from the lower world in that it is all altruistic, giving, uniting, and loving. The lower world, on the contrary, is rejecting and hating.

Therefore, it is said about the spiritual world that we must turn darkness into light and connect as one person with one heart so that there are no contradicting qualities between us that deny each other. On the contrary, we are always yearning to unite according to spiritual law and to complete each other.

If we do not succeed, then we understand that we were born with such qualities and must live with them, and we just need to strengthen the connection between us. We do not change our nature from reception to bestowal, but we change it to reception in order to bestow.

This is the entire patent. Nothing changes except the intention that we need to correct. And if we cover all crimes and our desire to receive and enjoy at the expense of someone else with the intention for the sake of bestowing to the other, then by this we correct our desire. Although it remains a desire to receive, it works with the intention for the sake of bestowal and connects us into one whole.

Those righteous ones, the authors of The Zohar, and especially Rabbi Shimon, their thoughts and words were in actual deeds, for according to the quality of the innovations in the Torah that they discovered, the upper degrees were promptly set up and arranged after them in actual fact. That is, the righteous build worlds with their innovations in the Torah (Zohar for All, Beresheet – 1, Article “The Sling-Stone,” Item 200).

Question: Are these worlds internal or external?

Answer: Everything is inside a person. There is nothing outside of us. Everything that seems to us as existing outside of us: the world, stars, people, and the Earth is the way we feel what is happening within us. There is nothing outside. All our perception of reality, as if I take something, hold it in my hands, and see it; all this appears only inside me.

Therefore, to the extent that I change and improve my qualities, I see a different world, a new world. But everything is inside a person. A person is a small world and he includes everything.

The main thing when reading The Book of Zohar is to be naive and simple in relation to it.

After all, this Book is so high and great that in relation to it we are small children who have been given an encyclopedia in our hands and hardly know how to even flip through it.

We do not understand anything written in The Zohar. But it does not matter. If you study it to the best of your ability, then the effect of the light contained in this Book is very great.

After all, you do not just read or listen to what is written in The Book. It is like you are in front of a touch screen of the computer controlled by the touch of your fingers. This is how The Zohar works.

Looking at some word, you as if click on it and turn on a certain system. When you read or listen to a word from The Zohar, you “press” on it and from its spiritual root, you attract the illumination (Ohr Makif) upon yourself. And so on, word by word, one illumination after the other. Moreover, The Zohar is written in such a way that it knows how to advance you.

In the spiritual world, we must grow the same way as babies grow in our corporeal world, naturally and instinctively.
Just as the external influence works on a baby in this world and he just opens up toward it, so must we open ourselves to spiritual influence.

Only as a result of its influence, will we acquire spiritual feelings and mind.

Miracles do not exist! All miracles are the result of our inner pressure in the yearning to come closer to each other.

This is how we will rise up, see all the worlds, everything from top to bottom. The Creator will be revealed to us as a network that embraces everything and includes everything within it.

We will feel ourselves in a space that has no movement, no beginning, no end; it is in constant motion. All this will be normal, there will be nothing surprising about it. This is how we will exist.

But before the congress, we need to prepare ourselves for miracles because if we want to connect with each other, then our closeness with each other is already a miracle! After all, this is against the fundamental law of nature—the law of egoism.

Therefore, if we aim to rise above egoism, we will attract the influence of huge forces of nature that are above it, that is, the forces of upper nature.

I really hope that we will be lucky, that the Creator will guide us and help us, and that we will connect with each other by the force of bestowal, by the force of love. Then this war will end, and in general—everything in the world will calm down, and we will all become like one man with one heart.

How can we justify the Creator when such terrible disasters like the earthquake in Turkey happen? We do not know why the Creator awakens us through such sharp and heavy blows.

But apparently they include both help and punishment. We can try to turn this punishment into a reward through our connection. After all, this is the only action that can help us.

We can immerse ourselves in those states in which our friends found themselves who were physically trapped in the disaster zone, and try to pull them out of all these places and states, and lift them high above our heads.

We value them as devoted close friends yearning to reach a common connection between all of us and the Creator, and we will do our best to constantly feel them deep inside our thoughts and hearts. The Creator arranges everything so that we all become included in this action. In this way He binds us together through this disaster, and we need to unite even more because of it.

We need nothing except the connection; then the light that the Creator shines upon all of humanity will shine more strongly in those groups that have united. Therefore, the stronger our connection, unity, and embrace, the more the upper force, the light of the Creator, will influence us and pull us out of all the troubles.

We embrace all the friends who are in the earthquake zone, we fill our thoughts and hearts with this concern, and thus we will be able to protect them from troubles with the help of the Creator.

We see that many people came to the group to study Kabbalah at the call of the point in the heart, at first they were on fire, but later cooled down and left this path. Why does this happen? It is because they could not annul themselves and rise above their pride.

To advance, you need only one thing, to bow your head before everyone, lower yourself to zero, and not make any calculations. If a person expects to receive more and more, then he has not yet started working against his egoism.

To lower yourself to zero means to make absolutely no calculations for the future. There is nothing in the present, there is no future, and I do not need them. I want to be at least at zero in the state that the Creator gave me. If I hold on only to this zero, then I discover behind this zero the opportunity to hold on to the Creator. I discover that there is the Creator to hold onto because I disconnect from my egoism.
