The wisdom of Kabbalah is a most practical method. In our world there is no other means for influencing our fate, our lives, and the forces of nature that manage all of this.

As we enter into the new age and receive all the means to manage our lives into our hands, we suddenly see that nothing is found under our control and in our hands, and we don’t know what will happen with us from today until tomorrow. This is the recognition of evil through which all of humanity must pass.

However, the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us connection, contact with the one force that works in reality. We can awaken it, summon it onto us and, with its help, reach the desired changes if our plans are integrated with the program of this upper force.

We need to develop in order to reach such mutual integration in the work, connection of the creatures with the Creator, and adhesion of our desires with the desire of the upper force, with the Ohr Makif (Surrounding Light), and so the question can be asked: How can we activate this upper force?

This is the only thing that must be done in the wisdom of Kabbalah and, generally, in reality. Otherwise, we continue to live dutifully carrying out the orders of the higher power and playing on the face of this earth like children in a sandbox, hitting each other and pouring sand on each other.

However, if we truly want to advance, it is possible only if we ourselves attract the Light that Reforms, and then it will begin to develop us. However, if we don’t attract it, then it will reveal how much we are suffering and have no control over our development.

The more that we develop technologically, we have less and less control over our fate, our situation. That is how we gradually reach an understanding that the wisdom of Kabbalah is speaking only about practical actions, and this work is very simple: to influence that Light. In addition, influencing it is possible only if we attain a form similar to it, meaning that we unite.

A Question On “Practical Kabbalah”

Filed under: Dissemination, Kabbalah Study - No Comments →

Question: Does belonging to the chosen people, besides the heavy obligations, give the Jews any advantages, benefits or dispensations? What is good about being the chosen people?

Answer: We simply cannot refuse or reject our mission, neither those who belong to the Jewish people today, nor the twelve tribes that were lost 2,500 years ago. We cannot hide from our task; we must carry it out.

Being chosen or not does not depend upon us. We only need to look for where it is possible to add our own participation. Thanks to that, we will come to a good and peaceful life that all of us understand and appreciate. This is not in the sense that we will be higher than others, rather they will aspire to the same goal and will be included in the same process.

We will not succeed by fleeing, as we must carry out our role in any case. We must realize our mission, and nothing will help us, neither hiding nor death.

Question: In other words, being chosen indicates the discovery of the program of development of life, and acting accordingly makes it possible to achieve success in everything? How will daily life be different for a person who discovers the program of development?

Answer: A person such as this will understand where he is, how to connect with people correctly, and how to build an even greater and stable basis for even greater discovery of the higher power.

He is constantly advancing towards the disclosure of the upper force within himself and this will fill him with higher knowledge and feelings. All of his desires and thoughts will be directed only towards this.

Even today, we unconsciously yearn and aspire only to discover the upper force. It seems to us that we supposedly want only food, sex, family, well-being, money, respect, and knowledge, but in fact, through all of this, we are seeking the unique taste of the upper force.

And now, thanks to this, we are alive and sense the taste of the Creator in all of this. Everything, every object, that brings us pleasure contains a microscopic discovery of the Creator. If we want to feel this discovery fully so that it will fill all of our desires and thoughts and reveal the entire future perspective to us, we must prepare ourselves by correctly connecting with the environment.

Question: Throughout the generations in the history of the Jewish people, there were many sages who sought and investigated the upper force. This was the lot of the greatest minds of the generation, the elite. But is it possible that now every person on the face of the earth will be able to attain the Creator, all seven billion people?

Answer: First, the seven million Jews in Israel must discover the Creator and show everyone that they have this power. All people will feel this. At the very moment that the people of Israel begin to advance toward discovery of the Creator, all of humanity will freeze in suspenseful anticipation, understanding that after the Jews attain this, it will pass to all of the people.

Question: So who are these chosen people?

Answer: The chosen people are a people who choose the discovery of the Creator and care of all of humanity for the goal of revealing, the upper force, the general power of nature. to all people. This is our obligation, and then everyone will truly be happy, rising above the concept of time, motion, and space, entering into another dimension.

If I don’t think about the reward I will receive from my action but only worry about the benefit of others, it is bestowal. It is a special action that doesn’t exist in our world and is not familiar to us.

We think that a mother who takes care of her baby is an example of bestowal in our world: She doesn’t think about herself and does whatever is necessary.

But a mother acts from her natural instinct and there is no ascent above nature here. She simply feels that her baby is dearer to her than herself. She doesn’t see him as a foreign body, but actually feels that he is inside her like before he was born.

But we are establishing a special connection between us that unites us all into one integral system and changes us so that we will be able to operate in order to bestow. Thus, our actions are divided into an intention and the actual action. The intention is altruistic, which means for the benefit of others, and it determines the action.

If the intention is not for the sake of others but for my own sake, then even if you bestow to others, you expect something in return: at least to be in a good mood, have self-respect, or receive praise. If I cannot calculate things only in order to bestow unto others, this actions is called a transgression and the breaking of the Mitzva (commandment) since I use an egoistic intention.

It is according to such signs that I can check whether my intention is clean and whether it is really for the sake of others or not. After all, I may be acting for the sake of others but expecting to receive something for myself as well. These are the accounts that determine my place on the spiritual ladder along spiritual correction. Accordingly, if my action is for the sake of others without any self benefit, as if I don’t exist at all, my action is more sublime in the spiritual sense.

Therefore, I should totally restrict my ego before every action so as not to expect any reward for myself, as if I don’t exist at all. Baal HaSulam says that we simply have to be a pipe, a channel, that conveys everything through it, and which passes everything onwards. Thus we build ourselves by restricting our ego.

But after the restriction, I can already plan what I can do for the sake of others, for the sake of bestowal. If I can come up with such a plan with the help of the Light that Reforms, it means that I build the head of the spiritual Partzuf. With this head I can already use my desire to receive by ascending above it.

Although the ego wants everything only for its own sake, I act above it with the intention only for the sake of others, without any account for my own sake. This action is called receiving in order to bestow, which is spiritual work.

The ability to perform spiritual work comes only from the Light that Reforms. This is the reason that very few people in this world can understand and fulfill this work, and in fact there is no need for many such people.

Our group will never be big. Most people will simply go through it: They will come and go. Therefore we will keep on consolidating as a group that leads humanity along the right path of our evolution. Our power is in quality, not in quantity.

Question: We are discussing the next step in building the center of the group. We would like to review the current state. Today each friend has his own pain, his own desire, and each sees the further correction of the group in his own way. And everyone is right. But how does all of this resolve into one whole? How do we actually upgrade ourselves to a new version?

Answer: You need to finally feel that you are at the point of choice, at a fateful decision. All generations are looking at you, and right now you are determining the future and if it will it go through the path of hastening or through the natural path, in its time.

And certainly, as a result of this, all things and events will unfold one way or the other in the land of Israel and in the world.

We need to realize that we are that point through which Light can pass into our world. Therefore, everything depends on how seriously we approach our role as the transition link. Our unity must be genuine.

There is no help here from the upper or from me because everything is handed over to you, and it is up to you to create this unity. You need to decide how we will make ourselves equivalent with the Creator.

Above all, we need to connect to Him. Our dissemination, too, needs to stem only from adhesion with Him. I am seeing that otherwise we will not be successful. Yes, we are reaching out to people, but we need to deliver genuine Light to them in a way that they will become connected to us and cling to us as a baby to a mother. And likewise—the whole world.

There is a willingness for it, but we are not yet connected to the Creator so we cannot serve as a vessel of reception or as support for the people of Israel and the world. Today’s situation is such that we are obliged to establish a connection from both sides and are obliged to reach mutual guarantee, above with the Creator and below with the whole world.

You must take the connection between you very seriously. Whoever is not ready for it, even in the slightest bit, has no place here. After all, if we do not unite, nothing will hold up and all the work we’ve done will amount to nothing.

Therefore, we need to work on purifying and uniting the common vessel, checking daily and  in every second, how you are progressing along the path. This is very, very serious.

After all, we advance either through the 49 gates of impurity or through the 49 gates of Holiness. Herein lies the danger that threatens us in Egypt. So right now the choice is in our hands.

You cannot begin a new day the same way you did last week. No, a new desire and a new approach is needed. This is not in words, but in feelings and in the mind. Accordingly, we will merit either a good or a bad attitude from both directions, from above and from below.

Throughout all of history, the people of Israel have experienced pressure from above and below. And now, Israel refers to us, the group that is entitled to propel the world forward either in its time or through acceleration.

We need to change ourselves completely and demonstrate in every moment a serious approach to the work through responsibility and mutuality. I repeat that whoever does not take mutual responsibility seriously has no place here. This group does not accept everyone indiscriminately but only those whose hearts ache with concern.

It does not matter how many people remain here. Let it be ten, but this ten will be bonded tightly, will be strong, connected to the upper Light, and will be able to conduct Light through itself into the world. And conversely, there is no benefit from a large number of people who are not united and not connected with the upper Light.

This is why we need to break away, free ourselves from all illusory pursuits and work only on connection in order to reveal the upper force within this connection.

Let’s hope that we already understand this and will begin to act. I very much hope that we will offer a response to that opportunity that the entire world has been awaiting for thousands of years.

Our mission is to convey the message to as many people as possible. Baal HaSulam wrote about how much he suffered when he saw poor people wandering the streets and not knowing anything about the Creator and His control. If they knew about Him, they treated him improperly. Baal HaSulam’s dream was to reveal this information to people.

Thus, we have to reach everyone and make everyone an active part in connection with the Creator. The whole Israeli nation has to unite and to connect with the upper force in order to become the channel that conveys the Light. Today there are no restrictions and everyone should know about it.

Question: Is it true that in the discussion circles what is most convincing to people is not the arguments, rationale, or emotions, but the warm atmosphere in the circle?

Answer: There is a certain force in these discussions that operates on people. Even if only a small number of people participate in these discussions, it already spreads throughout the nation like a good “metastases” that spreads a new feeling.

A new state is appearing now not only in Israel but all over the world. It is a totally irrational state and the Israeli nation is irrational like its history.

Anti-Semitism, the attitude of the all the nations of the world towards Israel, is also totally irrational. After all, how can it be explained logically that such an enlightened and cultured people as the Germans committed the Holocaust.

There is no sensible explanation for that and it has nothing to do with religion. It isn’t an argument between Judaism and Christianity; look at how positively the Pope speaks about Judaism. He loves Israel while billions of people who follow him hate the Jews. The upper providence operates so that everything will seem totally irrational.

Therefore, we shouldn’t fear the fact that it makes no sense. We should only dress in the senselessness of the world and everything will take on the right and true form. In fact, all the nations will see that we manage this senselessness and that we have the explanation for everything, that there is a basis and a way to reveal all.

We can finally explain the reason for anti-Semitism to everyone, the conditions for the existence of the Israeli nation that will allow it to stay on the world map. We will be able to explain the special role of this nation, why it has undergone different ordeals throughout history, what the Torah actually says, and what the essence of all the religions and beliefs is.

Abraham laid the foundation for all the religions; they are all called the Abrahamic religions. They are the result of the “gifts” he sent to the East with the sons of his concubines. It is time to solve world’s problems.

We have entered a new era, and before us is to fully open this field of work.

Question: Only two groups are interested in the Creator: religious people or great scientists who study nature, people like Einstein who are trying to understand whether an upper force exists and are trying to find it. But all the other people aren’t interested in the Creator at all. How does He affect the daily life of an ordinary person?

Answer: This question has nothing to do with whether a person is religious or not. He lives and goes through different phases of development throughout his life together with all of humanity. If he discovers and knows at least according to which laws he and all of humanity develop, he will be able to manage his life more successfully.

By knowing what is expected the next day or two days in advance, where everything is moving to and advancing, he will be able to manage better. Suppose you wanted to know which profession is better for your son when he finishes school. Everything will be clear to you: how to study, what to study, what is better to buy. Everything will be known in advance since you will discover the general plan according to which you develop and you will be included in its stream.

Therefore, the revelation of the Creator is essential for every human being. Today we experience so many failures because we operate blindly. All of humanity is acting blindly despite all the high technology, the great sufferings it has undergone, and the rich bitter experience it has accumulated, all because it doesn’t know the plan of nature.

No one is expecting us to bow to the upper force like in religion. We have to discover it and to get to know it in order to ease our life and to prepare our children for an even better life. Otherwise life will become worse from one generation to the next.

Our children’s life will undoubtedly be much worse than ours. Fifty or sixty years ago we thought that life would gradually improve and that humanity would make new discoveries and achieve greater successes, that there would be no more world wars, and that the world would be a wonderful place. But suddenly we see that everything is actually the opposite.

Attaining the Creator is actually attaining nature, attaining the general plan. This opens our eyes and allows us to see the world we are actually living in, who manages it, and the network we live in. All that helps us become more successful, which is what humanity needs so much these days since it suffering.

We feel that we are increasingly more connected among us in global connections and don’t know how to break free. The EU now wants to break apart after many unsuccessful attempts to unite, but that will harm all the countries. This is all because they don’t know how to unite correctly so that it will be good for everyone.

The plan of how to connect to the good is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. I recommend it to everyone. After all, every person wants to succeed in life and the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to do so. This will be absolute success, which will not harm others not like today when we succeed at the expense of the failure of everyone else.

The chosen people are the people who have the plan of correction and we have to know it. In addition to that, being chosen means that we have to bring this plan to all of humanity. As long as we don’t do that, they will hate us and pressure us more and more. This is only the beginning of the general global pressure.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is meant for the most ordinary person and has nothing to do with religion: not Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, and not to any Eastern philosophies or any mysticism. It is only about the revelation of the upper force to every human being.

Thanks to this revelation, a person will no longer make mistakes in life. What is more, he will begin to discover the upper dimension and understand that our life doesn’t end with the death of the physical body. If it were so, then what would be the meaning of this limited existence for several decades, which one lives through with great pain and wars.

The meaning is that we should ascend to the next level during our life in this world. It is not the level of the physical world anymore but a level of consciousness, a new level of sensations. We ascend to a different dimension, discover new horizons, a new world.

This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah invites everyone to, to the revelation of the upper force and the attainment of the Creator, the revelation of eternity and wholeness in nature.

Question: It has been the fate of the Jewish people that so much suffering has fallen upon them throughout history that sometimes they have wanted to ask the Creator to choose some other people for the role of the chosen next time. Why have we received such special treatment?

Answer: The same part of all of humanity that is more developed than anyone else for discovering the Creator has gotten this unique relationship. Therefore, they are called Israel (“Yashar-El” – “Straight to the Creator”).

Anyone who feels a similar yearning in his heart and joins this group, meaning that he becomes a Jew (Yehudi, from the word “Yichud” – unity) and unites with the others to discover the Creator, by being included among the people of Israel, will also become subject to this pressure and cannot flee.

The more that we develop and approach the end, the point when we must embody our mission to the whole world, accordingly we feel greater and greater pressure, struggle, and hatred. And the nations of the world don’t understand the reason for their hatred. By discovering the same forces with which we ourselves must yearn and move forward, we connect and unite more and more and draw all the other peoples after us.

But instead, we try to arrange a relaxed and comfortable life for ourselves. Therefore the same intense forces that we must activate and haven’t begin to put pressure on us through the nations of the world. Today we are only feeling the earliest symptoms of this global pressure on us. If we don’t succeed in showing that we are carrying out our mission, we will invite upon ourselves a very great tsunami.

Towards the Revelation of the Creator

The wisdom of Kabbalah is the essence of the revelation of the Creator and the connection between us. In fact, even the ancient Babylonians wanted to reveal Him and the Tower of Babel became the symbol of their attempt, their effort, to do so. But back then, the majority intended to succeed in the framework of their egoism and only very few realized that it was necessary to ascend above self-love.

When we refer to the revelation of the Creator, we refer to the upper force that manages all of our reality and leads it to the most sublime state that is called the revelation of the Creator to His created beings in this world. This is the goal of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

The whole evolutionary process, the development of all our reality, is eventually meant only to reveal the Creator and to reach complete adhesion with Him until we resemble Him and become equivalent to Him when all of humanity, the whole world, all of the still, vegetative, animate, and human nature are united with Him.

Question: What exactly is this similarity?

Answer: It means that a person gradually reaches the complete attribute of bestowal that is revealed by love. Then a person feels love for everyone.

A Role Model for Humanity

Adam, who lived twenty generations before Abraham, was the first to speak about the Creator. He was the first human being in our world who discovered the method of revealing the Creator and fulfilled it.

As for Abraham, he fulfilled the method with a big group of people. According to Rambam, tens of thousands of people followed Abraham from Babylon to the land of Canaan.

They are the ones who laid the foundations for the Jewish nation by learning to format the attribute of love inside them, thus attaining resemblance and equivalence to the one unique force that operates in nature. This is the reason that the Israeli nation is called the chosen people, because they were chosen to serve others, which means to lead other people to the sublime state of love.

Question: Is everyone in the world capable of resembling the Creator?

Answer: Eventually yes. The question is when and under what conditions, but one way or the other there is a spark hidden in everyone that needs to be ignited to draw a person to the revelation of the Creator.

Question: So what is the exact meaning of the Jewish nation being chosen?

Answer: It means that it is obliged to reveal the Creator to the whole world, to draw everyone to the Creator, to set an example, and to show how to live with the Creator in our environment.

Don’t Believe, Reveal

Question: What should we do with those who don’t believe in God at all?

Answer: What we speak about doesn’t relate to religious people or to atheists. I may have been brought up with the belief that God exists. In fact, this may be part of my upbringing that has been rooted in me since my childhood and thatI have accepted as an axiom for life. However, neither my teachers nor I have actually revealed the Creator.

In fact, the Creator isn’t what humanity can ever imagine in the framework of religions and beliefs. It is the attribute of bestowal that is the basis of the whole universe, of every human being and of all of matter. It includes all of reality, manages and develops it until it all reveals this attributes, until it absorbs it from the outside. Then the attribute of bestowal will awaken it from the inside, and everyone will unite with this external force.

The attribute of bestowal is currently concealed in all our reality and we have to remove the veil to reveal it. This is called “revealing the Creator.”

To this end we are attracted to the attribute of love and bestowal and our impulse helps us discover it inside us in the matter of our desire. So we don’t have to believe in the Creator but reveal Him.

We Were Chosen by Our Desire

Question: So who has chosen us if it isn’t God in the traditional sense?

Answer: Our desire to reveal Him is what makes us chosen, given we have that desire. This desire motivated Abraham, a very well-known educated man, a kind of public figure who used to worship idols. Suddenly he began to speak differently: Why do we suffer, what is our goal, etc.?

Others felt that they suddenly somehow responded to his message because the same desire had awoken in them too. This is how a group was formed that later became the chosen people.

Question: So what is the role of this nation today?

Answer: Today we still are talking about a group of people whose goal is to reveal the Creator to all of humanity and thus bring humanity to the level of wholeness, beauty, love, eternity and peace.

Question: In my understanding, the expression “harmony with nature” is at odds with the achievements of progress like the Internet, the washing machine, and household electrical appliances. Are such objects and things connected to nature?

Answer: Of course! Enjoy their benefits, that’s not the case. Despite all of these things, people living in developed nations, where there is no lack of anything, are more likely to suffer from depression. So it is not the electronic appliances and not the comfort with which a person surrounds himself; but the absence of inner peace.

Today humanity can feed itself abundantly. We throw away a lot of food and  we cannot distribute them because we don’t have the proper connection between us. That is where the problem is! Somewhere there are hungry people, but we don’t care about them! Apparently humanitarian aid is provided only for show, but actually everything is thrown away and scattered.

Question: In other words, unity with nature is not a rejection of comfort?

Answer: No! Unity with nature doesn’t mean returning to the forest, to the jungle. Seven billion humans cannot return to the jungle. Becoming closer to nature is through comprehending it! This is not about nature that we see around us. Instead it is about the internal forces and the formula by which it works. We must attain them internally, in our feelings, to understand what is happening and what forces surround us.

These forces are concealed from us. We don’t understand what manages us. What will I think about in another minute? What will happen tomorrow? Why did this specifically happen yesterday? I don’t see what I influence and what influences me because I am lacking contact with the scheme in which I exist.

We are found in a system that manages our world, but we don’t feel it. How can I come in contact with it, to a mutual understanding, so that I will influence it and it will influence me?

This system is called the “upper world” because it manages our world: All of humanity, all parts of the still, vegetative, and animate nature. How can we discover it? How can we influence it correctly so that in return it will influence us correctly? This is the essence of the wisdom of Kabbalah; it gives answers to all of the questions of existence.

As long as a person has not revealed them for himself, he will wander around in the darkness like a blind man, he will hit sharp corners and suffer, especially in our times when the world is becoming more mutually connected. So if someone acts incorrectly somewhere, it impacts everyone.

Throughout the generations, nature has moved all of us forward until we have become locked in. Now we are beginning to feel how much this mutual connection obligates us, and we cannot break it.

Today we have no other way out. We must find that state in which we can develop harmoniously, comfortably, and securely. And this is what the wisdom of Kabbalah is talking about. So it was concealed before our time and has only been revealed now.

From the Sources

The role of the Jewish people, its goal, motivation, concept, and philosophy of life—is unity for the sake of discovering the Creator.

At first, this desire was awakened among a few Babylonians 3600-3800 years ago. It came from the Creator and it is not by chance that only a few were awakened.

Nowadays, this is discovered in the same way among a few and “bypasses” the others. Specifically to this is connected the concept of the “chosen people.”

First of all it is important to understand here that this is not talking about some kind of “national preference.” Initially, people who came out of various peoples and tribes united around Abraham.

Since then, essentially the Jews have not been a people in the traditional sense. People become the people of Israel (ישראל) only on condition that they yearn “Yashar-El” – ישר-אל (straight to the Creator), meaning, only if they want to discover the Creator.

Everyone Can be Chosen

Question: Does this mean that every person in the world, if such a desire is awakened in him, can join the people of Israel and be called “chosen”?

Answer: Yes, certainly. Such a person joins a group of people who directly yearn for the Creator and aspire to discover Him in a unique connection between them.

Today most of the inhabitants of Israel don’t know about their mission, that they must become a “Light to the nations,” i.e., transmit this method to the whole world by accepting among them everyone in whom this desire is awakened.

Throughout the generations many people who belonged to other tribes and peoples joined in this way to a group called the “people of Israel,” for example, Onkelos or the parents of Rabbi Akiva and many others. In other words, there were many like these who came from other peoples and stood as leaders of the people of Israel.

Immersion into Humanity

Question: But why are the Jewish people considered to be chosen even today when they are far from their original idea?

Answer: Because this task, this mission, doesn’t pass from one people to another. It maintains its original conditions.

There was a time when a strong desire burned to attain mutual connection and in it to reveal the Creator. They were actually ready to realize this role.

And after that, throughout history they passed through a multitude of stages and fell from the high level that required their connection, breaking away from this message, from this goal, and severed the intentional purposeful development leading to a mutual connection for discovering the Creator.

This happened because for a particular time they needed to be under the influence of the forces of separation, to feel the “heaviness of heart” directed against unity, where the goal was concealed until it was completely forgotten.

Only in this way was it possible to acquire the means required to work with the whole world and pave the way for them towards unity with the Creator. This is the reason that the Jews were scattered over the face of the earth and lost their original idea. First they had to discover the immense desire, the “tough temperament” latent in humanity infused with materialistic needs, and immerse into other cultures in order to serve the people correctly after this during their movement towards the goal.

This period of exile that ends in our day, “by definition,” had to be long.  It continued for two thousand years and was known in advance. And about its end, it was said that from the year 1995 the concept of being “chosen” and the discovery of the Creator in the general mutual connection would be reawakened.

This stage is being revealed and opened in front of us today. It might not be as fast as desired, but it is a historical process that is directed from above and has its own rate, its own milestones, and all kinds of situations along the way.

The Return of the Chosen

In any case, even though we don’t know all the details, we see that the concept of uniqueness lives in the Jewish community. Similar claims of other peoples are connected to conceit, arrogance, the rule of force, and other characteristics of mutual antagonism.

But with us, being chosen was based upon an opposite perception from the start: We must serve as an example of unity that is imperative for humanity today. It is unity that leads us to the discovery of the force of bestowal and love, which is the Creator.

The previous era ended with the twentieth century. The people revived their nation, and now we must return to it the inner essence, that foundation that makes it a people: unity. Moreover, the unity is directed Yashar El (straight to the Creator), based on “You shall love your friend as yourself.”

This is what must be discovered now in the people of Israel and to reform it as the “chosen people” upon whom a particular task is imposed.

In accordance with this, even the external pressure again indicates that we are a unique people who are going along a unique historical path.
