Acquire the Qualities of the Creator

258Question: The Creator divided Himself into two parts: the perceiver and what is perceived. Will this situation always remain?

Answer: This is how our perception is structured; it consists of the perceiver and what he perceives.

But the fact is that in our case when we are dealing with the revelation of the Creator, we have an interesting quality. A person begins to acquire the qualities of the Creator. There is no limit to his attainment, right up to the feeling of the world of infinity.

Question: Ultimately, the Creator we attain, is He the Creator who can simultaneously exist in all, even the most distant parts?

Answer: Absolutely!

With a Feeling of Love for the Entire World

535.03Question: The realization that I suddenly feel wealthy while everything around me remains unchanged feels like a test. What is the Creator testing me for? Why am I going through this?

Answer: The Creator is testing you and all of us on whether our perception of the governance of the world will be directed toward the benefit of the world. This is the most important thing.

What should we be cautious of? An incorrect attitude toward the world and everything created by the Creator. We aspire to perceive this world with a feeling of love, care, and the continuous development of everything the Creator has made. Therefore we must be very careful to ensure that our revelation of the world unfolds with a feeling of care and love for all of creation.

Two Signals of Connection

239Question: You said we need to use our imagination and seek contact with the Creator within our hearts. How does this relate to seeking the Creator in the connection between us?

Answer: We aim to tune ourselves to connection with the Creator where we can identify what goes from us to the Creator and what returns to us from Him.

This involves just two signals: the signal we send to the Creator and the signal we receive from Him. Our task is to clearly distinguish between what pertains to reception and what pertains to bestowal.

All of this happens within the connection between us.

Relationships Will Be Corrected by Themselves

261Question: When I receive from the Creator, I do not feel shame. Instead I feel a demand for Him to give me more, and I come up with excuses like, “He created me this way.” How can I get out of this state?

Answer: This will gradually pass as it will be balanced through your relationships.

There is no need to invent anything to artificially correct the inner meaning of these relationships. They will be corrected by themselves over time.

Questions about Spiritual Work—218

281.02Question: It is said, “Buy, but do not sell.” On the other hand, I must disseminate and bestow. How do these two things connect? How should this be understood?

Answer: It means that one must constantly care about their connection with the Creator; don’t exchange it for anything else, only expand it.

Question: We learn that there is a hierarchy of desires: food, sex, family, money, honor, and knowledge. Should I distinguish which force of desire or which line of connection can bring me back to the Creator?

Answer: It will be shown to you. You can draw closer to the Creator either through connection on the right side or connection on the left side.

Question: In our world there are examples where parents give everything to their children, but the children end up hating them, or for instance, a wealthy relative helps everyone, yet everyone secretly despises them. Could it happen, God forbid, that instead of loving the Creator, a person comes to hate Him because He gives them everything?

Answer: No, this is impossible with the Creator.

Focus Desire on the Creator

938.07The connection of speaking to the Creator brings him life, if he appreciates the fact that he is conversing with the Creator (Rabash, Article 3, “What It Means that the Name of the Creator Is ‘Truth’”).

Question: What should we add to elevate the value of and strengthen connection with the Creator?

Answer: Think only about the fact that when you unite, your connection with the Creator becomes stronger, more profound, and you need nothing else.

When each person in the group expresses themselves in relation to it, when you can all unite and focus your desire on the Creator, you thereby form the vessel (Kli) in which you will receive His response.

Time to Scatter Stones and Time to Gather Stones

600.02Question: You said that my role in the group is to help my friends reveal the Creator. What should I do to dissolve into my friends?

Answer: On one hand, I dissolve into my friends, and on the other hand, I am as if above them, trying to determine their movement, their fate.

Question: Which is preferable?

Answer: There is no preference here, because there is a time for both. There is a time to scatter stones and time to gather stones.

These are two sides, right and left, that must always be present in our work. We should not neglect either. There cannot be a plus without a minus. This is how we should act.

544Question: Can I evaluate my progress relative to the state of the group?

Answer: If you study The Book of Zohar (especially this book) even though it doesn’t tell you anything and seems so incomprehensible, distant and even repugnant to your entire being, you don’t understand it at all, and its characters and actions seem absurd, yet, despite all this, you accept it as a necessary tool for connecting with the source of the upper force that can change you, and you use it.

It’s like a child who doesn’t know or understand but is compelled by nature to nullify themselves in relation to adults, to learn from them, and to mimic them like a little monkey without understanding what they are doing simply because that is what adults do. Similarly, we, by naively following the guidance of Kabbalistic texts and recognizing that they contain the source of some transformative force, suddenly begin to feel that they are working on us.

Initially, we are given a certain desire for this, a realization that there is no other way, and a group that can push us in this direction. But in the end, what is required is patience.

This involves studying the material, participating in dissemination efforts, and working within the group over months and months. Then suddenly you begin to feel that something is happening to you, something is working. You change. You suddenly feel a deeper understanding of what is going on interspersed with periods of greater confusion. This is the path.

It is a period of serious formation, a transition from one world to another. It is not simple and takes a significant amount of time. But this is the essence of our entire history, all those millions of years of development that are now approaching their critical, culminating point of realization when we transition into another state, another dimension.

All of this is about to happen to us, to those who seriously work on themselves, who wish to adopt this spiritual framework represented by The Book of Zohar, and pass through it into the other dimension.

Don’t Break Connection with the Creator

624.07Question: How can you not make mistakes and know you are addressing the Creator? Is there some kind of verification?

Answer: No, address Him however you wish, make any mistakes; the main thing is to be in touch with Him all the time.

Do whatever you want, just don’t break the connection with Him. The most important thing is to maintain uninterrupted dialogue all the time.

Two-Way Communication

938.02Question: You said that from our collective feeling we become worthy of the Creator’s response to our request. At what point will this happen?

Answer: We become worthy of the Creator’s response the moment our desires and requests to receive and to bestow align with the Creator’s will toward us. Then we become interconnected.

I receive from the Creator what He sends to me, or I send to the Creator and He receives it. A two-way connection is formed between us. Many Kabbalistic sources speak about this. So we will quickly understand how this connection is established and experienced.
