The day of the Creator is the state when a person does not feel any shortage in anything and is ready to remain in this state all his life and beyond, under one condition: that he will always have the desire to bestow to the Creator. And this is without any answer, knowledge, or compensation, just to do something good for the Creator, and no one will know, including the Creator himself, that a man exerted for Him.
And the way to check it is joy, a sense of perfection. This means that a person is already at the end of correction because he wants nothing except this. Such a state is called “The day of the Creator.” Any person, no matter where he is, can imagine and constantly strive for this. Otherwise, it will not be called a day and perfection.1
Discontent is an obstacle to perfection. Everything is measured relative to a person. The way he evaluates his state is how his state is. To want more than what you have is already a luxury. After all, it turns out that you are dissatisfied with what you have received from the Creator. This is a huge obstacle standing in everyone’s way to perfection.
In fact, we are in an ideal state, at the end of correction, in the center of all the upper worlds, in the world of Infinity. All changes occur only within a person. Therefore, if he considers his condition as perfect, then he is already on the spiritual ladder, in a spiritual state.
Therefore, everything depends only on us. We should not wait for something to come from above. We can only ask for our correction; there are not any changes to expect in the upper, outside ourselves. It is only necessary to decide in each state that you are in perfection and want nothing for yourself but only to bestow everything you can. We need to aspire for such a state because this is the truth.2
Once a person feels that the Creator is not good to the created beings, he begins to argue with Him, to accuse Him, even to hate Him. Therefore, we need to strive at every moment with all our strength to see the world as good, the created beings in good states, the Creator bestowing to them all the blessings, and to be able to justify Him in all situations that seem to us inappropriate for a good governance.
We must try to see the world as it appears in the eyes of the Creator and not in our spoiled perception. Meanwhile, everything is forgiven to us, but later on we will see that it is a great crime to condemn the governance of the Creator. You must always strive to be as high-spirited as possible, otherwise you are cursing the Creator, hardening your heart with egoism.
First of all, it is necessary to decide that the Creator is good that does good, and the whole world is in perfection, and we condemn it only to the extent of our corruption.3
If the Creator moves away from a person, then the whole desire for the work of the Creator disappears. And this is called that the Creator turns his back to a person. After all, the face of the Creator is His desire to bring good to the created beings and the back side is quite the opposite. The Creator purposely shows a person His back side so that he or she will aspire to adhesion with the Creator and will not want to remain in a degraded state. It turns out that the face of the Creator is hidden inside the back side.
We need to constantly keep turning the back side of the Creator into the front one and thus to achieve adhesion. The upper one always shows us his opposite side if we are ready to accept it, and we raise the back side to the height of the front side and in this way adhere to the Creator.
Due to this, we ascend together with the AHAP of the upper one. The upper one puts his AHAP into us and we see His other side. And if we grasp it and try to see the face of the upper one in it, then in this way we raise ourselves along with His back side.
In this way we use this elevator every time: the upper one descends to us, and we ascend to Him, He descends, we ascend—in such a zigzag elevation.4
If it were not for the darkness, we would not have a slightest chance to attain the Creator. It is necessary to understand and appreciate this and not to hide from the dark, but to turn darkness into Light. From all the forms of darkness one must see how to adhere to the Creator. One should not neglect the darkness because the whole creation is darkness. The darkness is the creation.
All the forms are in the letters, which are black. And the white color does not add anything except emphasize the darkness, the black letters. Therefore, it is necessary to help each other maintain the spirit in the group and keep up through our mutual guarantee and mutual support. And it is during the time of darkness that verification is made to what extent we are capable of mutual bestowal and bestowal to the Creator, accepting darkness as Light.
The screen is when I do not care what form I am in, when the main thing for me is to bestow. My degree is measured by the lowest state, the depth of desire to which I am able to plunge into darkness, so that from this stage and on I can begin to bestow.5
The common mistake of beginners is to ask for knowledge, good feeling, filling, because they think that all this should be in the spiritual world. They are waiting for the Light to come and fill their ordinary egoistic Kelim (vessels). But that is not correct. We only need to ask to remain in the same state as it is, but to receive the correction that allows us to perceive this state as perfect.
This will mean that we are in the faith above reason. Everything we have received came from the Creator, and after receiving a correction, we understand that this is the best thing that can be. Our ordinary egoistic desires will not be filled, but above them we want to remain in faith.6

Everything is measured relative to a person. The way one evaluates one’s state is the state one is in. Wishing for something beyond what you already have is a luxury. After all, it turns out that you are dissatisfied with what you received from the Creator. This is a huge obstacle, standing in everyone’s way to perfection.
We are in a perfect state, at the end of correction, in the center of all the upper worlds, in the world of infinity. All changes happen only inside a person. Therefore, if one determines one’s state as perfect, then one already is on the spiritual ladder, in the spiritual state.
Therefore, everything depends only on us. We should not wait for something to come from above. We can ask only for our correction, but there are no changes to expect from above, from outside of us. I just need to determine in each and every state that I am in wholeness and want nothing for myself, but only to bestow everything I can outward. We need to aspire for such a state because that is the truth.

Kabbalah is the science of connection. We have to unite because nature is pushing us toward this, pushing us to be together. If we do not want this ourselves, then nature will obligate us by force. There is no doubt that nature will win, since a person is very weak against the blows of nature. This is why it is not worth waiting for the blows, which will constantly grow stronger, because there are heavy clouds on the horizon already.
Our worldwide Kabbalistic group is in the vanguard of this movement, advancing ahead of everyone and opening the doors to unity for the entirety of humanity. We are testing how to achieve unity on ourselves because this condition has never before existed in the world. Once, thousands of years ago, this kind of unity existed but under completely different conditions, among people who did not resemble us in any way.
Our group, called “the last generation,” living in the world of egoism, serves as a laboratory for all of humanity. How to arrive at unity in the easiest and quickest way is tested on us. From our experience, we are building the foundation for those who will follow in our footsteps after us in the very near future. This can take another ten to twenty years, but in the end, all of humanity will come to unity. Therefore, let us hope that this advancement will come by a merciful path and not by the path of suffering.
Nature is a single system. All of its parts develop from a single desire as from a tiny grain of sand. The upper force, the Light, exploded this tiny grain of desire, from which emerged the Big Bang, and from this began the development of all matter: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and people on the planet Earth. Today, we are already at the very end of this evolution.
Along the way, matter moved through multiple metamorphoses and shatterings, and we need to correct them. After all, by correcting the shattering, we achieve the quality of the Light. The Light shattered the grain of desire and we must collect those broken pieces of desire and sparks of Light. Then, the whole Light will be able to enter the desire, and instead of a tiny grain, it will become enormous. That is why it is so important for us to achieve this unity. It means rebuilding the shattered soul of the first human being, Adam HaRishon.
Europe today testifies to how much this shattering is starting to be revealed. Kabbalists during the last several centuries wrote about our time, about our “last generation.” The world has moved toward the revelation of the evil of the egoism so much that in the next several years it will be obvious to everyone that a global crisis is occurring not because of problems with technology, economics, or ecology, but only because of the poor relationships between people, which prevent us from uniting. Humanity is forcing nature out of equilibrium because there is no balance or unity among us. This balance is what we need to re-establish.
Baal HaSulam wrote in the article “The Arvut” (“Mutual Guarantee”) that the final correction of the world is only possible after the unification of the whole of humanity. Nothing other than this is needed. We are learning about huge systems, about the shattering that took place in the upper worlds, but in essence, we are learning how to unite the single desire that was shattered into a multitude of opposing pieces.
We are those broken pieces that must unite, not physically, but in our desires and thoughts. We must unite these spiritual sparks within us into one system, we must feel how we complete each other, think about the one goal, help each other become one desire. This mutual desire consists of many different parts, but it is these differences that create the possibility for fulfillment. No one part looks like any other, but by uniting together, they create perfection.
By making a laboratory of ourselves in which we practice this connection, we gradually reveal within it the manifestation of the power of unity, the upper force of nature called the Creator.1
