The Main Weapon Is Our Heart

275The horrors of this war have revealed how unhealthy the state has developed within our people, and our separation is the reason for what happened. Our duty is to correct ourselves and the whole world together with us, that is, to direct it toward unity.

The understanding must come in every heart of the people of Israel that unity is above all other calculations, above who becomes the head of government and what demonstration to attend. We have received a terrible blow, but it will quickly turn into mutual accusations, litigation, and disputes, and will provide plenty of food for the press.

Therefore, it is impossible to return to the same state that was in the people. We have already seen what this had led to and we do not want this to happen again; we want to enter a new world, that is, a new relationship, as it is written in the Torah: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

All sacrifices that accompany the long-suffering history of the Jewish people must not go in vain. Let them become the payment for our unity and correction of the whole world, and let them help all people understand that everything depends on their heart.

Our main weapon is our heart. If this heart unites with the hearts of friends, and if we direct this common heart to the Creator and give Him a place where He can enter, we will turn the whole world in the direction of complete unity between everyone. We just need to start, and then the Creator will finish this work for us.

We cannot blame each other and push each other away. On the contrary, we must feel that we are one person, one heart, one people, one group. We are together in one shelter from which we can leave only if we have reliable weapons. And this reliable weapon is our unity, with the help of which we can expand the walls of refuge to the entire width of the globe and turn all of humanity into one person with one heart.

We are talking about internal and not external unity. That is, not that we are on the same territory, in the same country, but in the same heart. And as far as this heart becomes a common one, the Creator enters it.

What Does the Power of Prayer Depend On?

239Question: What should be the preliminary preparation in order to come to the prayer that will be a real weapon?

Answer: It should come from the heart. The power of prayer depends on the strength of the connection between us, on how much we will be as one man with one heart, on how much your friends will enter into you, join your heart, and from this common heart you turn to the Creator.

Question: Should we convey to people that hatred should not be for the enemy, but for the war?

Answer: Hatred should not be toward the enemy or the war but toward our egoism. Only toward it.

The Force of Unity Is the Most Powerful!

931.01Question: If a person unites with one’s friends, then in this he or she reveals the single force that acts throughout the world?

Answer: Yes. Exactly. We must draw closer to each other so that the Creator, as a single force, can reveal itself in our unity.

And then we will see, learn, understand, and feel everything that is really happening in the world: the causes, consequences, and our actions.

Question: When a Kabbalist connects with the Highest through his group, how does he look at what seems to be happening in the outside world outside the framework of his connection with his friends?

Answer: This happens outside the framework of his unity but together with his unity with his friends because we have not yet reached a state where the power of our unity can change everything for peace. And that is why we work in this way.

The power of our unity can change the world. It is the strongest! Through the power of unity we can convince the Creator to do whatever is necessary. After all, we reach unity, and from unity we cannot do wrong.

Then we turn to the Creator in a completely different way based on our new circumstances, from what we feel in the unity. And so we will move forward. We will as if guide the Creator as a common universal force, and He will fulfill our desires although, in principle, they will be the same as ours.

Question: If we can control the Creator from the point of unity, then we will be able to cancel His control, such as, for example, bombs or some other unpleasant things?

Answer: Yes, it is said that the Creator as if designs, and man cancels. And we will be able to cancel all the bad, unnecessary, harmful influences on our world from above.

Convince the Creator to Correct Us

234Question: We must correct our corrupt properties. For example, I feel pride, envy, fear, and feel corrupt. At the same time, when we study The Study of the Ten Sefirot or Rabash’s articles in the group, we feel the unification and the strength of the group. How can I combine the request to the Creator and the work in my group?

Answer: Constantly ask the Creator for connection with the friends, for the correction of this connection, and to yearn to positively influence the friends. This is what we have to do.

As a result, we will see that we are getting closer to each other. By getting closer we mean our understanding that only through our common properties and connections can we convince the Creator to correct us. It is very important.

It is important to know that by connecting together in the ten we can convince the Creator to correct us.

What should We Correct?

243.07When each one pleases his friend, there is no disparity of desire among them, and all are incorporated in one desire, by which they are incorporated in the upper desire (Likutei Halachot [Assorted Rules]).

This is done gradually, simultaneously, since to the extent that we come closer to each other, we fulfill the law of mutual guarantee.

By correcting ourselves, we correct all of nature. We begin to see from the inside how nature is transformed in accordance to this. We do not need to correct anything else except for the mutual connection between us.

A Sign of Advancement

938.03Question: You said that if we ask with conviction at the convention, we will be able to connect all our souls into one single desire of Adam HaRishon. Where is this point of addition so that we reach the result?

Answer: It is in our heart. If you feel that you are much closer to the friends who are here and in the world in general, if you feel that you have more warmth for each other within you, then you have advanced.

How much more spiritual strength can you extract from this? It depends on the individual practical efforts of everyone. But, in general, you now have much more strength to receive spiritual forces and to use them for the sake of our connection.

Try to think about it: how can we all together receive this energy, this moisture, and soak in it so that all our forces and aspirations come together in order to turn to the Creator and force Him to come closer and turn His face to us? Then we will feel how we all together are getting included into Him. All this we must do in our desires. This is possible.

Bait for the Creator

936Question: You said that we should catch the Creator. When we fish, we need to have bait. What is this bait?

Answer: You should catch the Creator through your desire, your prayer, and your request to Him. Therefore turn to Him as often as possible and as much as possible.

The Creator is waiting for us to want Him to open our hearts and connect them, and that we would feel in one common united heart all the power and mystery of the universe.

Reviving the Feeling in the Heart

275Question: We are currently unable to feel that there is none else besides Him in our hearts. If we insincerely link everything that is happening to the Creator, to the notion there is none else besides Him and He does all this for our benefit, will this lead us to a feeling in the heart?

Answer: Yes. If we strain ourselves and imagine in any circumstances that everything that happens to us comes from the Creator, and despite the fact that we are in unpleasant states where we worry and suffer, if we still believe that there is none else besides Him and everything comes from Him, then we must attribute everything to the Creator and think that since we are not connected and are not coming closer to Him in the state we are in, this is our problem.

Therefore, all we can do is to further strengthen our unity. By doing so, we will overcome all the unpleasant consequences of what is happening.

I Want to Feel the Real World!

938.05I really hope that at the congress we will make a big leap toward the creation of our common organ of perception. Then we will begin to feel the upper world in it, the highest existence, the next dimension, called Man, Adam, when I perceive everything not through my animalistic body, but through the organ that I created, through our unity, Adam, before he shattered into small pieces, and now we are gathering them together.

And as soon as we gather them, even in some minimal amount, even 10 to 20 people, we will immediately begin to feel our oneness, and within it we will feel the higher substance, the next level of transformation, the matrix, the network that connects us.

In our world, we only feel the consequences of this common network of connections, we feel how today we are no longer able to break away from each other, that we are in complete mutual interdependence.

By studying the network of connections, we will begin to understand why it works this way, how we can enter into it, control it, be mutually connected when we influence it and it affects us, and somehow, we will start to change ourselves. But not just to change so that I feel better, because the change should not be for my animalistic good, but for the sake of something higher, detached from me, absolutely abstract: “I don’t want to deal with my animalistic body at all!”

I want to start perceiving the real world! Where am I from and where am I going? And I no longer want to perceive this world! Let me see 1% of it, so as not to bump into corners. Ultimately, I want to know the truth: “Where am I? For what purpose? Why? How?” And this truth will help me change and become different.

To Win the War Against Evil

963.5The most important thing that everyone needs to know today is that the connection between us, even across distances and borders, must save the world from evil.

If with every falling rocket, hatred and grievances toward friends and the Creator grow within you, you must remember that everything comes from the Creator: all your desires and feelings. Therefore, you need to turn to Him and ask for correction in order to feel love instead of hatred, closeness instead of distance. And thus it will happen to all of us.

We ask the Creator to truly make us feel that there is none else besides Him and that He surrounds us from all sides, supports us, and brings us closer to the end of correction.

To win in the war means, despite all obstacles, to hold on to friends and together to hold on to the Creator.

We need to ask the Creator to give the right thoughts and feelings in the heart of every person in the world, to men and women, so that everyone can calm down, and everyone understands how to unite and allow the Creator to reveal Himself in all of us.

It doesn’t matter when the congress ended and where and when the next one will be; we need to feel in a state of spiritual ascent all the time. And then everything will work out for us. The main thing is not to forget about each other, about the Creator, or about our connection, and through it to the Creator.
