How Can We Check the Pace of Spiritual Advancement?

Posted on March 29th, 2026

During the preparation period, when we have not yet attained the revelation of our actions, how can we check the result? By the signs that our teachers give us. They say that if a person is in a group that constantly pressures him, guards him so that he does not run away, and he constantly feels that he needs additional forces in order to remain in the group in the desire and in the intention, this means that he is advancing. This is the first, external check.

The second, internal check is a person’s examination of himself; how quickly his inner states change, at what pace these changes occur. He must go through them during the day.

I remember how once I went with my teacher, Rabash, to Tel Aviv. We set out in the morning as usual, and that day, so many events happened to us! We had many different things to do, and on top of everything, I parked the car incorrectly, the police towed it to the impound lot, and we had to take a taxi to retrieve it.

We returned home in the evening, just before the lesson began. Five minutes after the lesson started, Rabash asked me: “Do you remember what happened to us today?” And my mind was completely empty, as if nothing had happened.

At that time, I had just begun to study Kabbalah, and for me. it was a real wonder; how could this be, so much had happened during the day, and I remember nothing, neither what happened, nor when, nor in what sequence! Erased, gone! It passed, and you constantly live in the present. I remember, the first sensation is always like that, it leaves a Reshimo.

The more a person feels the changes that have occurred with him during the day, the better. A million changes can take place, but you do not feel them, they fall and pass, fall and pass. They must pass through you, so let them pass! According to this, the pace is measured.

This happens because you are striving toward one goal. Then all the disturbances that come, you take into account for a moment, they replace one another, and you pass through them quickly.

Don’t Dwell on the Past

Posted on March 28th, 2026

Question: How can you always strive forward and not well on the past?

Answer: You should never dwell on the past! If you do that, you are simply consuming yourself. The past does not belong to you, and neither does the future.

Things that are not manifested in your body right now, you do not work with; they simply do not exist. The past is gone and you know nothing about the future. You cannot depict any images from the future in advance to await their actual happening. So why deal with it?

The Benefits of Spiritual Development

Posted on March 28th, 2026

Question: Rabash writes that when friends gather, they should talk about the benefits of gathering. What does he mean by that?

Answer: The benefits are an abstract concept. It can exist only in relation to my desire. Accordingly, I envision a future fulfillment, which I can earn, with less effort than the pleasure I will receive. Then it is called a benefit—you invest 99, you get 100.

But my desire must be greater than the invested effort, otherwise the desire to receive will not allow me to exert. Therefore, every time we calculate what kind of pleasure we will receive, what the disadvantages are, and how much effort we need to expend.

The benefits we want to get from the process we are going through, I cannot relate to someone else. If a person is still in pursuit of benefits from animal pleasures (food, rest, family, sex) or the pleasures of money, honors, knowledge, then I cannot give him other pleasures instead because abstract ones are not clothed in what he understands. He does not feel them. There has to be a different Kli for this.

The Kelim we initially have are Kelim in which we feel pleasure clothed in something of this world: power, knowledge, education. The closer the pleasure, the more palpable and greater in magnitude it is.

These are animal pleasures; the greatest of these are the pleasures felt through touch and sight. They are followed by more abstract ones, pleasures brought by money, honors, which are things that require a certain level of development.

But it still comes clothed in something: I am honored, respected, more knowledgeable than others, which is a kind of power (knowledge is, in the end, power, albeit a little more abstract).

But if the pleasures are even more abstract, they are not perceived by the Kelim of receiving. They relate to Bina, which is inside Malchut. Even the Klipot are the pleasures Bina feels inside Malchut, and not Malchut itself.

You cannot explain it to people who do not have it. This requires preliminary development. So when they asked me on American radio: “What is special about Kabbalah? Why did it suddenly become open? What do you want?”

I replied that we are in a state where we do not see what will happen tomorrow. The life we live is no good, people are using drugs more and more, there is no family, children have no connection with parents, we do not even know what will happen to us in a second, we are increasingly immersed in such life problems that it becomes necessary to know about reality, how to control fate, how to see which of my actions will lead to enjoyment, confidence, and a good life.

You cannot talk to people in more abstract terms because they will not understand them. They ask, “How do I do this?” Come and learn. If we want to do something in this life in a logical way, we must study it, in any profession, even a shoemaker. Even there, you will find many professional secrets you must master before you start working, and even more so with us.

Be Similar to the Higher One

Posted on March 27th, 2026

Question: Suppose that right now I am about to draw the surrounding light. What is this thought that I must have:? It is “to become similar to Him”? Do I rely soley on thought?

Answer: How can one know what they must correspond to? On the lower degree you will never know what the upper one is; this is impossible. If you knew, then that knowledge would hold you on the higher degree. Such is the nature of the spiritual realm, wherever you are capable of existing, is where you are.

The spiritual world does not operate like our world where I might conceptually “be” in some place even though I have not physically arrived there yet, where I simply buy a ticket and go. In the upper world there is no such thing! Even as you ascend spiritual degrees, you will never be able to know with certainty what the next higher degree is, because you must rise to it “in faith above reason.”

To be similar to the upper one means becoming more spiritual, more bestowing, more perfect, thinking less about yourself and striving to correspond more fully to the upper one. In accordance with this, picture any images and forms.

If this is not enough, ask that you be given an understanding of the upper one for the sake of becoming similar to Him. This is called “the light that returns to the source” when you ask for the revelation of the Creator, not in order to enjoy it, but in order to correct yourself by means of it.

It is permitted to ask this, that is, to demand correction instead of pleasures, so that the corrections themselves will be our fulfillment, will lead to connection, to adhesion. “The reward for a commandment is to know the one who commanded.”

Pass Joy to the Friends

Posted on March 27th, 2026

Question: How can one convince the friends to advance?

Answer: I simply convey my joy and energy to them in an artificial way. I come and see that everyone is sitting there dejected, myself included, but, let’s say, I turn on the radio, and it starts playing; after all, it doesn’t care, it is at the inanimate level.

Even though the friends are at the animate level, this inanimate level can set them in motion. We see that this is indeed how it works.

Constant Work

Posted on March 27th, 2026

Why is a point of bestowal, called Israel, the desire to receive, added to our heart? Is it added in order to increase it from its minimal magnitude to one hundred percent? It grows only on the “flesh” called the will to receive.

This is a point of Bina, and the whole heart is Malchut. You must connect the heart to Bina in order to attain reception for the sake of bestowal.

All the degrees are built on that “flesh” that you receive from the Klipot, from your desires. Obstacles come to you from these desires, subsequently you re-enter the realization of the greatness of the Creator and restrict your will to receive. For this, you elevate the realization of the greatness of the Creator above that desire, and build it like a head (Rosh) above the will to receive. Excellent, you have successfully performed an “entry.” And immediately you fall and forget; this is called an “exit.” Our entire spiritual path consists of such “entries” and “exits.”

What does it mean that you “fall”? It means you receive the next desire to receive. And once again, upon this new desire you must build the realization that “Israel, the Creator, and the Torah are one” again; this aspiration toward the greatness of the Creator must rise above your desire to receive.

And again, this helps you build a degree where the realization of the group is above everything. You humble yourself before the group in order to establish the correct attitude and not deviate from this line. And each time, it is work.

Turn Night Into Day

Posted on March 26th, 2026

We must analyze each of our states on a “true-false” scale rather than the “sweet-bitter” scale; that is, based on whether it is good or bad regarding the goal of creation and not our desire to receive.

The problem is that we spend a lot of time feeling that sweet is day and bitter is night. That is, we work according to our feelings and cannot understand either by ourselves or with the help of a group that the definition of the state should be according to the goal of creation, adhesion with the Creator, and despite the fact that it still does not feel “sweet,” we accept as the truth and goal.

It needs to be more important than “sweet.” Then we will replace the “bitter-sweet” system (bodily analysis) with “true-false,” which is a spiritual analysis.

And here, only the group can remind a person what real measurement tools are, how he should regard his state, analyze it, speed up the process, correctly determine which state is called night and which is day, and then move from one state to another.

If he really decides that the state of night, which he finds bitter, is actually useful, that it is the truth, then night turns into day.

I define the feeling of an uncorrected Kli intent on self-interest as night. I attract the light that corrects this Kli and turns it into day by giving it the intention to bestow. Then, I come to the decision that my intention for giving is the day.

That is, it is the same state I was in before. I considered it night because of the lack of intention to bestow, and now, when I acquire this intention, I decide it is day, and so I go through this state. Turning the same receiving Kli into a giving Kli means that I feel the night and after that there is a day. And so it is at every degree. This is the same, only with an acquired intention upon it.

And if a person does not make efforts to correct the Kli he has received, does not try to see the real darkness in it due to receiving for himself, does not want to correct it with the intention to give, then he does not implement the time given to him.

One will still advance in this way, but very slowly. The Creator will take pity on the person and change his state because the group will help him a little, but not because of a change in his internal states.

I need to determine as soon as possible that night is my attitude to pleasure, to the fact that I want it. Then I will begin to desire correction, I will want to achieve an intention for the sake of bestowal, to adhere to the truth rather than to sweetness. This is what I call a day. This is the whole work of man. Man is the one who determines what day is and what night is, and what part of a day he is in.
