Question: How do you ask the Elyon (upper) for what is truly useful to you?

Answer: Ask the Elyon to let you know what it wants. This is the most certain, the most useful: “Make His desire your desire.” (Avot 2:4). But to make your desire like His desire, you must know what His desire is. So ask about this!

Question: But that doesn’t work!

Answer: I don’t know if you asked. Maybe you received, but didn’t understand that this was the answer.

Question: How do we identify the AHP de Elyon (vessels of reception of the upper)?

Answer: We begin to recognize the AHP de Elyon to the degree that we connect between us with our GE (vessels of reception). Then He gradually begins to be discerned. The AHP de Elyon doesn’t exist without the GE de Tachton (vessels of bestowal of the lower one), meaning without our connection. Only through our connection do we reach the concept of “One,” and accordingly we can create a link with the Elyon.

The Ten Sefirot on a lower level become one Sefira on a higher level. We must connect these ten into one.

Question: How do we make our GE want to connect?

Answer: Dissemination is required because this is mutual work. If you do not receive stimulation, a demand from below, then even though you have a spark, you can never awaken a connection with the Elyon.

As long as a man is not married, he still has not left childhood, he lives with his mother for pleasure, passes the time at a bar with friends or at the soccer field. But if he marries and has a child, then he has commitments, concerns, problems, and demands.

So in the same way, if we don’t go out to the Tachtonim (lower ones), to the community, and take them with us, meaning if we don’t produce spiritual children that require us to grow, then we’ll never want it. This is the order of the levels; they are all in GE and the AHP and fall to a lower level.

So if you want to connect to the Elyon, you must awaken the Tachton. Only the Tachton will compel you to connect to the Elyon; that is how this works. So The Book of Zohar was not revealed until our days, and the wisdom of Kabbalah was concealed because the time had not yet arrived for the Tachtonim to be awakened.

The moment that the Tachtonim become ready to be awakened, to the degree that we work with and awaken them, to this degree, we are required to rise to the Elyon. Otherwise there won’t be any demand on every level, only the GE, the Kelim (vessels) of bestowal.

Question: I look at the people to whom I disseminate and it seems that they are not prepared to perceive our ideas. What can I do if I have no desire to explain anything to them since it seems hopeless?

Answer: This is the wrong approach. You are not taking two things into account. First, there is a quantitative force in the public, a quantitative force that allows us to make a huge leap and to succeed.

A practical example for that is the computer. An expensive computer is different from a cheap computer not in size but in the capacity if its memory, which means in the number if memory cells it has. There is a hero in quantity who becomes a hero in quality.

When you disseminate to the public, you are not taking the matter of the great quantity that turns into a new quality into account. If there are a billion people and each one can lift only one gram, together they can lift a billion grams.

Besides, we should multiply this by the force of connection that they can consolidate among them by their connection. This multiplies the sum by 620 times. This is how we should see their power and not look at the negligible force of each individual.

We consider each of our friends according to his personal attributes, but when we look at the public we see that since they are all connected to one another, each individual is weighted like everyone together. Therefore, even one of them is greater than you.

The second point is that it is actually the public who are now the vessel for the Light and not you. This is the present need, according to “it is time to act.” So you cannot think lightly of people. They are actually the vessels that need to be corrected and filled. Now it is their time! All the upper Lights, the whole arrangement, is focused on them.

Your job is to faithfully take care of them and simply look at them and do what is good for them. Therefore you have no choice but to appreciate the public and work with them.

When we go out to the public, we always need to keep a link with the Elyon (upper one) within us. Through detachment from the Elyon we cannot work with a lower level. Indeed we don’t come to people as performers or as agitators of the crowds, rather we are bringing them the higher power, a connection with the Creator.

So through connection with the friends we must attain contact with the Elyon. If we don’t have a connection like this, we cannot be considered a higher level in relation to the Tachtonim  (lower ones) and work with them.

If a girl takes care of her little brother, she doesn’t consider him as a lower level. They are on the same level as brother and sister. Whereas the mother who takes care of yhe baby is the upper one because she gave birth to him and she has the power. So we cannot go out and take care of the community without maintaining a permanent link with the Elyon.

I am only a point, the middle third of Tifferet (splendor). My entire upper half is with the Elyon; my entire lower half is with the Tachton (lower one). So I must be connected with the Elyon and the Tachton and work simultaneously with both.

When I work with the Tachtonim, the Elyon is within me, otherwise I can’t do anything. And when I turn to the Elyon, the Tachtonim are within me. Otherwise I don’t have anything with which to turn towards them. When a mother goes to the store to buy milk for her baby, it is as if she is carrying him with her.

The role of the Israeli nation as the Creator’s servants, as a kingdom of priests, is to be the ones who explain the method, and that is possible only by educating people. We must explain things so that a person will understand that he has two options: the path of the Torah and the path of suffering, which means that there is a good way and a bad way. There are two roads before you leading to one goal, and it is up to you which road you take.

If you are not ready, you undoubtedly will take the wrong road. When you get on this road, it doesn’t seem bad at all, but actually very attractive as any path to hell where at first ice cream and gifts are given out. Thus, the desire to receive pulls you, and you are drawn gladly in that direction.

However, once you get on that road, there is no way out. The presents disappear and blows begin to hit you. So, you have no choice but to advance.

There is, however, another road that doesn’t seem so attractive at first, especially for your ego. It even repels you since it demands that you connect to others and care about them.

Our egoistic nature rejects this road internally. However, if you advance along the right road in the way of “I shall hasten it” (Ahishena), you receive assistance from Above, which is called the Light that Reforms.

To the extent that you summon this Light, you actually advance nicely. The Light is ready to help you at any given moment and to turn all your bad feelings into good ones. Everything depends only on your efforts. The Light that Reforms is the power in the connection between people if they want to ascend above their desire to receive and to attain bestowal.

You cannot do that along the wrong road but only along the right road that Light always guides you through all the points toward the goal, and, although you don’t understand and don’t know how to get there, one thing is clear: you must connect more strongly to others.

Our method is meant to bring about a change in every person and not in governments or the upper echelons of power in the state or in the world. The changes from above will lead to nothing; it can only be changed from below.

Our whole development is from the bottom up because we belong to the third stage of development. After the descent of the worlds from the top down and the history of human development in this world, humanity is starting its ascent from the bottom up.

In any case, in any condition, and at any stage, changes always take place from the bottom up. Therefore, we reach the ordinary person and bring about changes in him, and he brings about changes in others by his connection to them. The Upper Light finds a place through which it can bestow. So we continue upward.

I hope to see you confident and happy, and that you know how to approach the public with joy since all the weapons are in your hands and with them you can destroy all the evil in the world.

Question: Why is it easier for some people to connect to dissemination and more difficult for others?

Answer: It doesn’t mean anything. There are those who are like the patriarchs and there are those who are like the sons. The patriarchs actually have no Light of Hochma. All the Light is revealed by the sons but on the level of the patriarchs.

I add the desires of AHP but the Light of Hassadim is revealed in AHP, while the Light of Hochma is revealed in GE. But how can GE receive the Light of Hochma? After all, they are vessels of bestowal?

I take the deficiencies from AHP and raise them to GE and then I raise them higher to the upper. It turns out that I receive from the upper the Light that is dressed in the deficiencies of the lower. But I receive these deficiencies and suffer because of them; I wanted to give them everything, “the cow wants to nurse the calf more than the calf wants to suckle.”

I have great deficiencies from the AHP and even if my source is the desires of GE, I can receive all the Light that is meant for AHP and even much more. This means that the firstborn receives twice as much. We have to learn how to do that.

We are now implementing an activity that corrects the Shevirah (shattering), something that has never happened in all of history. Just imagine how important this work is. The shattering, the error of Adam HaRishon with the Tree of Knowledge, all of this happened in order to mix the desires and to make it possible for the receptive vessels to approach the goal of creation.

For these are the true desires. The desire to receive is the foundation of creation. And in these days we are implementing the first action in the entire creation, in the descent of the worlds from above to below and in the creation of this world, this entire universe, in the entire evolution of the creature on the face of the earth and the entire history of humanity. Only now begins the correction of the shattering and all of the expansion from above to below.

We are at the turning point from which we begin to rise again from below to above. And this elevation is not done through the desires of Galgalta ve Eynaim themselves, for they were already corrected at the time of the First Temple. And now they are beginning to correct the Kelim (the desires) of the AHP.

The moment we correct our AHP that belongs to Galgalta ve Eynaim, meaning the physical people of Israel, then the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel will be discovered. After that, the new work in partnership with them will have already begun.

The work of Israel in a complete Kli composed of GE and AHP, desires to bestow and to receive, advancing together towards the goal of correction, is giving all of one’s time in the right direction. GE must approach the method of correction such that together with the AHP we can filter and clarify those desires and characteristics which are preferable to use to advance on the middle line.

AHP is the left line, GE is the right line, and they must be connected such that the advancement will be optimal, in the middle line, with the right mutual connection between them. The sign of this optimal advancement is world peace, when there won’t be wars, problems, and suffering.

When the world will calm down externally, then we will see how much this state is worthy of revealing the higher power. The Creator cannot be revealed in conditions of conflict between nations and in enmity between people. He is not ready to be revealed in hatred, for there is no equivalence to His characteristics of peace, perfection, and love.

So those terrible events that we see in the world, we must see as our field of work. And this is called (Genesis 27:27) “a field which the Lord hath blessed” upon which we must go out to work. In every situation, in every moment, in every place in the world, it is necessary to choose His approach.

And so we will see how in all the extremities of the earth more and more of our friends appear who organize the right work regarding the method of connection and who bring peace and unity to the world in which the Creator can be discovered. Only the revelation of the Creator to the creatures can bring true peace and perfection. Therefore, all of our work is only in disseminating this idea.

In the News (from Vedomosti): “We received new information only when nothing threatens our outlook. Negative facts brought to the supporters of the regime cannot be digested by them and will not change their views. By virtue of these features of our consciousness, the existence of independent media and the Internet does not solve the problem.

“People perceive information that does not constitute a threat to their worldview and filter out all the rest. It is incredibly difficult for politicians and peoples to accept a dead end of the chosen path since changing a course undermines the worldview system.

“Having realized that the chosen political course does not lead to the expected results, the country often does not change, but on the contrary, intensifies the realization of the initial program, which worsens the economic situation in the country and leads to a tightening of the wrong political course. A mental trap brings a country into a vicious circle.”

My Comment: Although opposite to its course, the correct decision can be accepted only when it is viewed objectively. This is possible only in a workshop which is organized according to the principles of integral education, in a circle where people are equal and cancel themselves. They must be ready for full connection for the sake of revealing unity (the Upper Force) within it, adhering to the Upper Force through similarity of properties (mutual bestowal) in order to create contentment in it.

The feeling of the external world was given to us on purpose in order to develop the sense of knowing others. I can use others egoistically by bringing them closer to me or distancing them depending on their benefit to me. I can also use others not according to my own benefit but according to their benefit and thus change myself and use myself.

One time the friend is important to me and I change everything inside me that needs to be changed in order to make him feel better, and another time I am important and I bend the friend in my direction in my own benefit.

The struggle is actually between these two perceptions: who is more important and who determines everything. This struggle is very important to me because it helps me understand what I lack in order to build the sense for knowing others.

The others are in fact the Creator, and this whole picture—this world and the upper worlds, which are seemingly external to me—are only tools to discover the Creator. At first we don’t have such tools but only their initial form, the point in the heart. However, by working in the group, with the friends, in dissemination, in the larger world, I build this sense.

One time I imagine that everything is inside me and that all these parts are depicted as external to me, and that it is my illusion. If I step through this perception, I correct it and begin to establish the sense of bestowal, the sense of feeling others.

And again, I imagine that there is “I” and there is “they” who are external to me. My egoistic desire grows and lets me know that I have to take care of myself at their expense. This means that I have to remain constant and the others change for my own benefit.

I imagine things this way, and at another time, I imagine them another way, and thus I determine my ascents and descents and I develop additional senses. When it begins to work, it is called Shechina, a sense by which I perceive the one who dwells (Shochen, which has the same root in Hebrew), the Creator. I reveal Him as this sense develops, and I feel and understand Him.

Therefore, the most important engagement in this world, which is the reason that we are on this planet, is to develop the sense of recognizing the good and the evil during our lifetime, to duplicate and to improve it, and by it, to attain the sense of recognizing the Creator.

All this is attained by working with the public according by which I can accurately measure how far I have advanced towards this goal, towards the development of the vessels, the senses for the revelation of the Creator, which means to the revelation of the attribute of love and bestowal. To the extent that the group and all the world that is external to me become more important to me than myself, so that I see them as constant and myself as changing with regards to them, I can estimate and measure my advancement.
