Question: These days all of Israel is concerned about the fate of the three kidnapped youths. Certainly the security forces are making great efforts to bring them home. Many are praying for them to be saved.

Discussions have been organized about how it would be possible to warn them and what precautions can be taken to avoid trouble like this. But is it possible to change something through one particular individual or must one be involved in correction of the general state of society that led to such results, that is, influencing the collective?

Answer: Improving any situation is possible only through becoming a truly collective society. This means bringing connection and unity. It is necessary to transform the people of Israel, in the land of Israel, into one collective body by means of organizing workshops everywhere, discussion circles, joint discussions, and by approaching each other.

People will begin to discover what form our lives should have. Thus, they will begin to reach a connection that will attract the Light that Reforms that will raise them to another level of existence. The Light will begin to enter them, change and create a new society of one connected whole, instead of the former society that was split into pieces and distant from each other.

Through this connection, they will become closer to the nature of the Light, which is one, integral, global, and singular. And when this entire shattered world with the egoism that divides us will rise a bit above the egoistic separation and become more connected, then the Light that acts and influences us will heal all the wounds in our relationships. In this case, without a doubt, we will merit good results, including the return of the kidnapped youths unharmed.

Question: Can we change reality with this method: one picture to another picture?

Answer: Without any doubt, we can change reality from this moment on in any direction, wherever we want. This is in our power. And there is just such an opportunity for the people of Israel.

If we connect more strongly, then the Light will approach us according to the law of equivalence of form, will enter the shattered desires, and begin to correct them. As a result, everyone will feel closer to each other, and from this, the world will be changed. Our relationships and the connections between us will be changed.

Thanks to the influence of the Light, we see ourselves connected differently to the extent that we will want to bestow to each other, to come closer, to bring goodness. This indicates that we are in the spiritual world. The spiritual world is bestowal.

We recommend that workshops and discussion circles be conducted everywhere. And if through shared exercises like these we truly begin to better relate to each other, even in the most minimal way, without causing harm to each other, and at least not doing to others what we hate, then evil will no longer remain in the world.

In this way we nullify and exterminate all of the evil in the world. Can you imagine what kind of a world we would live in if we were to attract the Light that will correct the world in this way? Nobody would want to harm anyone else! This would simply be the Garden of Eden (heaven).

This offers us a miracle to practice the wisdom of connection, the wisdom of Kabbalah, here and now. We have reached such a period in history where this has become our top priority. And so we feel crises that will grow more and more as long as we do not realize this method.

Question: The whole nation (of Israel) was shocked by the incident of the abduction of three teenage boys. Do we have any possibility of influencing these events?

Answer: All troubles are a result of our lack of sufficient connection. If the people of Israel were connected according to the Reshimot that are being revealed, then nobody could cause us any harm. It would be possible to dissolve the army and send them all home.

If we were to attain a sufficiently powerful connection between us, then a protective dome of Light would appear above us that would manage everything. We wouldn’t have to do anything ourselves.

As long as there is no connection or unity between us, in order to compensate for this lack, we need an army, politics, and so forth. However, this is because we have not been equipped with the Light as a shield, so we need all kinds of material defenses. The problem is only in the lack of connection, that is why our children are kidnapped.

We need to see the whole system to know exactly what happened. However, if you are familiar with the system, then it is clear to you what will happen in the future, for everything is subject to clear and precise laws. The only thing that can be done to mitigate the sentence of the upper law is increasing our connection. We  don’t have any other means and we don’t need anything else.

In this system, there are no other means that can ease the situation and correct it besides the connection of the people. The connection is realized through the Light that Reforms, and it can be drawn through a scream in your heart with a request for connection in order to give contentment to the Creator.

The means are clear and only need to be applied, only in them should we see salvation. So we begin to translate into practice the upper management from the way of suffering to the way of Torah, the way of the Light.

Until then, we only can scream and complain, “Why did they go out on the road in the dark? Didn’t they know they shouldn’t hitchhike?” You can scream until tomorrow, but this is useless. Everything has been arranged according to a higher system in which we just have not made the proper corrections, and the children are not to blame. If they had not gotten into this car, then something else would have happened.

In someway this damage would have been revealed in the system and resulted as another trouble, and the cause is only our lack of connection.

You should know that now the whole world is a group and we must teach this group, every person and everyone together, how to behave correctly according to the rules of the group. So we have begun widespread dissemination, but in a form compatible with the world, called integral education or the wisdom of connection.

It is impossible to go out to the world under the name Kabbalah. But in the end, we must really teach everyone the essence of the network of connection between us.

To the degree that we enter and integrate into this network, we feel our interconnection with everyone and discover that these connections between us are governed by the same rules that operate between the Sefirot, between the Partzufim and the worlds in Kabbalah.

Where does the spiritual world come from? The whole spiritual world is the altruistic connection between us. If we transform the one-sided egoistic, severed, non-global connections into a corrected global network, then we see this network as a spiritual system and the whole world as one Malchut de Ein Sof (Infinity).

The different levels of connection between us are the higher worlds: Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira,  Assiya, and this world. In the end, we correct all of these connections such that the Olam Ein Sof  (world of infinity) is among us, without any borders. All of us are connected together in one place, with one desire, which is called Malchut de Ein Sof.

It follows that there is no difference between the wisdom of Kabbalah and integral education. Integral education is the same as the wisdom of Kabbalah, only with simple explanations that are adapted for children. When the children mature, we will no longer teach them through simple explanations with colorful pictures, but in a more serious form.

That is how they teach in a medical school; first they dissect rabbits and after that they go on to humans. So we first go out to the wider world with an initial simple explanation, called integral education or the wisdom of connection, but after that we combine this with some knowledge from Kabbalah.

Question: Is it possible to convince people to connect in a good way in order to avoid troubles like the kidnapping of the boys?

Answer: The whole world is a desire to be filled. When there is no filling a person feels bad and he suffers. If there is too much filling, he feels good and enjoys. When a person feels good he doesn’t need any extra filling, and then he doesn’t hear anything. But if he needs something and you offer to fill that need, he will listen to you and will want to receive what you offer.

Now, when such an acute need for positive changes has been invoked in people, we have to let them know that we have the solution for saving the kidnapped boys.  And for that, we have to connect.

It is because everyone wants the boys to come back! So let’s connect. It is a system that is subordinate to clear laws in that it either works or it doesn’t. All troubles stem from lack of connection according to the Reshimot (reminiscences) and according to time.

Now we have to be more connected, but since we haven’t been connected, this trouble has come about. If we want to get rid of this affliction, we have to connect. We should constantly worry about our connection and take every advantage we are given to do so. Otherwise we will not follow the path of I shall hasten it, the path of the Light, but rather the path of in its time, the path of suffering. The tragic event of the abducted boys is an example for that.

Today, the broader mass of humanity has become the Kli (vessel) for revealing the Light. This is what the times demand. First there was the period of the patriarchs, after that the sons, and today,  this is the period of the Messiah. In every period the conduct from above changed.

Our group is a transitional conduit first for the people of Israel and then together with it for the whole world. But specifically among the broader humanity the purpose of creation, the Ohr Hochma (Light of Wisdom), must be revealed.

The Creator is not Ohr Hassadim (Light of Mercy). The work on the density of the Shoresh (root),  Aleph (first), Bet (second), is not yet the revelation of the Creator to the creatures, but only the correction of creation. After that it is necessary to realize the purpose of creation, to reveal the Ohr Hochma within the Kelim (vessels). This is possible only through the external Kli, the masses. As it is said:  “If someone says there is Hochma among the nations, believe it.” (Eichah Rabbah 2:13).

But, “If someone says there is Torah among the nations, don’t believe it.” The Torah is the Light that Reforms. The nations of the world are not ready to attract the Light that Reforms to themselves, so they cannot heal themselves. But if someone helps them attract the Light and be healed, then the great Lights are revealed in them; specifically among them, the Creator is revealed.

The people of Israel merit the discovery of the Creator thanks to the nations of the world. When Israel joins them to it and corrects them, then the Ohr Hochma will be revealed in them. And Israel will also discover the Ohr Hochma thanks to this, when it conveys this to the nations of the world into what they are lacking. This is called is that Israel fills the Ohr Hassadim that is found in it with Ohr Hochma.

Israel belongs to the Kelim of bestowal and it cannot discover the Creator on some level by itself, without the nations of the world. But this is not that Light that must be revealed in the period of the Messiah. Our essential work is to prepare ourselves for the correction of the world. In this specifically we must see our mission, the work of the Creator.

The Creator is discovered in the deficiency of the people. When we accept the deficiency of the public, from it we create MAN (female waters) and raise it to the Creator. Then we receive double Light in response, as it is written,  “The firstborn takes twice as much” (Baba Batra 124a) and we convey it to humanity. This means that the Ohr Hochma that is revealed among us is revealed in the Kelim of the public that we join to us. And among the public themselves, this Light is revealed in their main Kelim.

But in the meantime, all of the Kelim are connected into one Kli. Israel brings the adhesion with the Creator, and the nations of the world bring their deficiencies. This is how they work together. The nations of the world cannot discover the Creator without the help of Israel, and Israel cannot reach this discovery without the nations of the world.

For this it is necessary to create circles, many circles, until ultimately they will connect into one infinite circle. This is reciprocal work. Therefore it is said that the nations of the world raise Israel to the height of the third Beit HaMikdash (temple). And Israel is not prepared to rise to a height like this by itself, for the third Beit HaMikdash is the discovery of Ohr Hochma within Ohr Hassadim to a full degree, when: “They shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them.” (Jeremiah 31:33

Something like this is possible only thanks to the great Kelim of the nations of the world. But Israel must carry out this work.

In the News (from GALLUP International): “WIN/Gallup International, the leading global association in market research and polling, has revealed that respondents of its global annual poll regard corruption as the most important problem facing the world today.

• Twenty-one percent (21%) of respondents globally identified corruption as the most important problem facing the world today – the highest response rate amongst the 17 categories;
• Economic problems in second place globally at 14%;
• Poverty (the gap between rich and poor) in third place globally at 12%;
• Biggest regional concerns: Asia (26%), Americas(19%) and MENA (15%) said corruption; Western Europe (24%) and Eastern Europe (20%) said poverty; Africa said economic problems (21%).
• The data was collected as part of WIN/Gallup International’s Annual 2013 poll that interviewed 66,806 people in 65 countries.
• Biggest concerns in Bulgaria: poverty/the gap between rich and poor – 23%, economic problems – 17%, unemployment – 15%, corruption – 9%, wars and conflicts – 7% and crime – 5%.”

My Comment: No one pointed out that the only problem in the world is overcoming the rejection between people, which by correcting,  we will help the world will change towards becoming beautiful. We see that this problem is not considered solvable. This means that we must make every effort to explain to people that the only solution is to create connections between people. Otherwise, no problem will be solved, and in the aggregate will bring us to war.

Rabash, Article, “What is ‘O praise the Lord, all ye nations’ in the Work?” (Psalm 117:1): It must be explained why The Zohar says that all of the nations have a minister over them, while this is not so for the nation of Israel; only the Creator rules over them. For the nation of Israel is the property of the Creator.

The Creator is called the middle line, Zeir Anpin. This characteristic doesn’t exist in the lower if they don’t carry out special activities in order to be its carrier, a vessel for the middle line.

So the Creator has no image or body. The middle line doesn’t exist in nature; it appears only on condition that the lower places itself between the two lines: right and left.

And all the rest of the forces in nature are called ministers of the Creator because they exist by themselves and are the result of the two forces active in reality: the force of reception and the force of bestowal. They are called angels, forces that control the 70 nations of the world.

But the nation of Israel, the one who seeks Yashar-El (straight to the Creator), has no Creator as long as it doesn’t stabilize its vessel and discover the middle line in it. The Creator (Bore) means “come and see” (Bo-Re). And as long as the middle line has not been created, the nation of Israel has no one to turn to.

The Creator is revealed solely and only on condition that the person builds himself and adapts himself to the characteristics of the upper one. In this way he creates a place for the discovery of the higher power. As long as the lower is not ready for this revelation, the upper one doesn’t exist and has nowhere to be discovered.

From here is derived the prohibition: (Exodus 20:3) “Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness” of the Creator, for this prevents us from doing the right work.

Question: How do we develop sensitivity to the desires of the community?

Answer: The more that you go out to the public, the more Kelim (vessels) you will receive from them. Even if you are tough and insensitive and it is difficult for you to work with people, you will begin to be stimulated by them in spite of it all. Because you invest effort in them, the ego itself obligates you to fulfill them.

This is because they become your children. You invest in them and your effort is there. Part of you is already with them after you take care of them. So you will want to be integrated with their deficiencies and to fulfill them. The main thing is to work as much as possible in dissemination. The more rapidly we absorb the deficiencies of the public, the more rapidly we will advance.

And in fact, the lower level is not really lower to us, for indeed it is written: “For they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them” (Jeremiah 31:33), especially when we work with the wider public in the land of Israel, meaning with the desire that was once organized in ten Sefirot.

The nation of Israel attained the spiritual state and was shattered. So we must bring the method of correction to it. It is not enough just to connect the nation of Israel to us. Instead, we must make each one of them a Kabbalist with spiritual attainment.

If they won’t want to rise to a level like this, then we also will not rise. We must see them as people who are connected to us on the same level on which we exist. And we will see that they will reach us very quickly.

We must convey the method of correction to them by beginning with a short explanation followed with more and more. Everyone must be a master of the method so that he can explain it to himself and to others so that they will understand the thought of creation, the goal of creation, the mission of the nation of Israel and of the nations of the world, the reason for the crisis and the way to correct it.

After this, they will want to know what the Torah represents and they will be stunned by the discovery of what is concealed there. We must explain all of this, for without this, the nation of Israel will not fulfill its mission. After this, the entire world must do the same thing.

We need to teach and educate the whole world. This means to be a light to the nations. We are talking about a state in which each one will have some kind of free choice, which may not happen today. Otherwise a person has no place in the collective Kli (vessel). It is said: “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Isaiah 56:7), meaning that every person will feel a deficiency for something higher.

The most important thing for us is to now begin to teach the community gradually, in waves. We begin with an introduction, then games and so on, gradually, so that people will begin to open their eyes. We must raise them and not just bring them some kind of infusion of a nourishing solution. This is not enough for the level of Adam (man, human).

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.

From the book, The Light of the Eyes, Chapter “Yitro” (Jethro): And if, God forbid, Israel had not accepted the Torah, there would have not been a channel to the world at all, for there wouldn’t have been enough for one Tzadik, as in the generations before the giving of the Torah, and the life force would not have descended from the world of Infinity.

And with the absence of the life force, death would have spread… and with the giving of the Torah, death was stopped in the world through the life force, for which there are channels into the world by way of the servants of the Creator through the Torah.

We don’t understand how much the connection that builds the channel from the world of Infinity into our world actually changes the reality in our world from end to end. All the leaders, all the peoples, the armies, and in general, everything would be managed differently. And all this is dependent on that channel that is a very thin line conducting the Light of Infinity to our world.

And specifically we determine that this will happen, everything is found in our hands. We see how the world is descending more and more into an abyss, how it becomes more and more confused, how from day to day hatred between nations increases, especially in regard to the people of Israel.

All of these problems will only continue to increase more and more because the time has come for opening this channel, and we are responsible for it. And without it, as it is written, “Death descends upon the world.”
