And Again Up, and Again Higher

41.01Question: What is the difference between the preparation stage and the state when a person is already in adhesion with the Creator? Is the stage of revealing evil behind us?

Answer: No, everything continues because the steps go up.

You rise’ there are problems, there is a solution, there is adhesion, and so on. And up again, and up again. Therefore, for us, this is only the beginning of the ladder of spiritual ascent.

Not an Ordinary Faith

962.3Question: For thousands of years all religions have been saying that there is no knowledge, there is only faith. Many of us came to Kabbalah to comprehend the Creator, that is, to gain knowledge. It seems there is some contradiction here.

Should we have both knowledge and faith or is faith only above knowledge?

Answer: The point is that the faith we practice in the wisdom of Kabbalah is not an ordinary faith, but faith in the fact that the Creator is the upper force of nature.

It is precisely Him that we attain in our mind and feelings by becoming like Him in the measure of bestowal. In this way, we begin to understand the Creator and the world He created.

The Light of Joy

572.01We have reason to rejoice! It lies in the fact that we are approaching the point where we can rise above egoistic desire and connect with the desire for bestowal, that is, with the Creator. Then we will receive all the upper light that will bring us joy.

That is how we are designed. Therefore, anyone who wants to attain true joy must connect himself with friends and with the Creator, and from there he will receive the light of joy that will fill him. Joy can be a material matter, and it can be spiritual. It all depends on what desires we fill. With material joy, we fill our desires to receive pleasure. But with spiritual joy, we reveal and fill the desires to bestow. And the difference between these two types of desires is like between heaven and earth.

By receiving spiritual pleasure, we feel ourselves above time, space, and movement. There is no time, no place, no movement, no changes.

We simply rise above matter, above our material world, even above our material selves, and this gives us tremendous strength to continue our journey further toward the Creator.

Let us hope that we all succeed in attaining such spiritual joy.

A Special Record in the Soul

293.1Every moment when I am in the ten, I feel how our connection is strengthening more and more in one form or another. I feel I am moving toward a state where we all will be in the same heart.

And the closer I get to this one heart, the more joyful I feel. I feel the Creator and the whole global soul above our world. That is the feeling we must try to achieve as soon as possible.

We are in constant motion, from the current point to the next, until the end of correction. Kabbalists promise us that we will achieve it.

Therefore, you need to be happy that you are on the path and have a goal in life that is above everything that lifts you to the top of the universe. The state of final correction is prepared for us and awaits us.

We should realize yet how lucky we are. But in fact, everyone has a record in the soul that distinguishes them from millions and billions of people who do not have this in their lives. They will start and end this life without achieving anything. And we, during this life, climb the spiritual ladder from degree to degree.

Therefore, we need to be joyful on this holiday of Purim, which symbolizes all our ascents. I am thrilled that more and more people are joining us daily, and the understanding is growing that we have a lucky ticket.

The Most Important—Unity of Hearts

282.02Question: After Passover, we plan to hold a congress in Uzbekistan. Many friends will come to elevate this region.

What do you recommend for us in preparation for this?

Answer: The only thing I recommend to you is the unity of hearts. Not in words, but in your heart to feel you have friends with you, that you want to connect your hearts together, and that this common heart will already be filled by the Creator.

The Joy of the Light of Unity

944Uniting is an action that in itself causes joy. After all, when a person feels another person and connects with everyone, this creates a feeling of great confidence and mutual connection, and this is how we attract an illumination from above, which awakens joy in us.

It is said that “Joy is a ‘reflection’ of good deeds.” Good deeds mean unification; there simply cannot be anything else that is good. Therefore, we need to reach unification, and it is absolutely necessary for the whole world because we see how it is being destroyed before our eyes more and more, day by day.

Therefore, at our convention, we must try to aim as much as possible toward unity and joy, that is, toward the right line, which is perfection. A person who is in a state of perfection is similar in form to the Creator, who is perfect, that is, now a person cleaves to the perfect, as it is said: “The blessed clings to the blessed.”

This means that the more joy we feel and attribute to the Creator, the closer we are to Him, the more strongly we will feel the light of Purim in response—the light of unity, the light of celebration, the light of unification. During the entire year, there is no higher state than Purim. On this day, we are illuminated by the light of the end of correction, which unites us and is capable of leading us out of any difficult condition no matter what we find ourselves in.

Everything depends only on our unification, unity, and joy, that we managed to rise above all our thoughts and all calculations. To multiply joy in the month of Adar means to unite around one common joy for everyone.

On this holiday, we leave all our calculations behind and think only about how to bring joy to everyone, that is, how to achieve a feeling of perfection, to come to similarity with the Creator, at least at the very first minimal degree, and then feel how a huge light of joy, which is called Purim, spreads among all of us.

Hit a Single Point

507.03Comment: During seminars, connection meetings, and conventions, we go through different states, find some point of unity among ourselves, and try to constantly hit it. But it seems that these actions will no longer have the same force as the first time.

My Response: No, it is not like that. There should be even more impressions from these actions! Here we are not dealing with momentary egoistic findings when we use the effect of surprise or some kind of novelty.

We do not need novelty! On the contrary! As we move forward, our egoism is pumped up from time to time, and by climbing it we feel much greater internal actions during the same external actions.

Questions about Spiritual Work—73

281.02Question: During the past congress, there was a clear feeling of Rabash, as if he was among us. When we feel the teachers, how can we convey our gratitude to them through you?

Answer: Through your heart directly to them.

Question: Now everyone in the world Kli has a lot of “gold,” “bags of gold.” And we all need to go upward. What should we do with the “gold”? Should I throw it out or add more?

Answer: You should exchange it for a connection between you. Give all your “gold” in exchange for connection in the ten.

Question: It is easier for me to address the Creator as you, Rabash, or Baal HaSulam. That is, it is like a thread of wisdom. And what is next, above, is it impossible to imagine?

Answer: You do not need to imagine or try to do it. It will come when it is necessary, in the most needed form.

263Question: How can one dissolve into the world Kli to affect the world to come toward peace?

Answer: It depends on your prayers, words, and thoughts. If you want peace in the world and all your friends to come together in one heart, that is how it will be.

Question: How do I let go of the control over all my states and go by faith above reason?

Answer: Let them go. What the Creator will do to you will happen.

Question: It says: “One should only take care not to harm the society.” How can we harm society?

Answer: By the fact that we would rise above zero in our pride.

Question: Should the connection of the ten and all of Bnei Baruch take place simultaneously?

Answer: No, by no means. It may happen that today you will have a spiritual ascent and the rest of the ten in a month or two.

Question: What kind of intention should the ten build to raise the proper prayer?

Answer: So that we can all be united. So that everyone aspires to be the last, but he will be the first.

Feel like a Single Body

942Question: I want all of us to connect in one heart, bring contentment to the Creator, and reveal Him. How do you feel about it?

Answer: Everyone should imagine themselves being the last of our entire group. Everyone should help others and see others above themselves. Everyone should be sure they are moving forward on the path to the Creator.

As a result, we should feel like a single body during the convention. Then we will be successful.
