Fulfill What Is Entrusted to Us

929Question: If all people felt like citizens of the world and stopped dividing into nations and countries, would it help stop wars?

Answer: No. We have to do what is entrusted to us.

Despite the fact that we are divided into nations, into individuals by gender and other parameters, we still have to connect with each other in our hearts as one person with one heart.

Only in this case will there be world peace. By the way, we are coming to this. Of course, you may not believe it, but rest assured that we are going to do it anyway. So let’s make a little more effort and find ourselves in a kind, solid, peaceful world.

Means of Preventing Wars and More

294.2Question: In the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” it is said that the strengthening of the external nations depends on the internal nations of the world. How can we imagine a state where the internal nations of the world agree with Israel? Is it possible that the will to receive will agree? Usually, we overcome it.

Answer: They will agree. Parts of the nations of the world will gradually agree that there must be friendship, cooperation, and rapprochement with each other; otherwise, humanity cannot make any progress in its historical movement.

Therefore, we are approaching the point that eventually some part of humanity will begin to understand that rapprochement between nations not only prevents wars, but it is a necessity emanating from nature itself, from its source—the Creator. This is how people will begin to develop an understanding of unity.

How to Come to Awe of the Creator?

259.02Question: True suffering is when a person condemns the upper governance. How can we use this state and come to awe of the Creator?

Answer: Connect in the group, get out of your private state, and exist within the group in a common state. And then you will advance correctly.

Expand the Soul 620 Times

264.01The soul is a person’s inner desire. And if we want to help each other, then we connect, get closer and imbued with each other’s desires, and become as one person.

The Creator shattered the desire He created into pieces in order to give us the opportunity to feel how much we lack connection, to connect, and thus achieve 620 times greater connection than was originally there.

With our correction, we add to the system of Adam HaRishon all its force, all its height. This common soul was born very small; it had no internal volume. But due to the fact that the Creator broke the soul He created and shattered its inner power and distanced its parts from each other, He gives us the opportunity to grow.

Each of us is a piece of the broken soul. If we unite back into one soul, then to this connection we add the force of separation above which we have risen. Therefore, it is said that the power of the soul has grown 620 times. Thus, if we join together and build a single system, we grow to the height of the Creator.

Through connection we attain ever higher spiritual states. After all, we combine everyone’s desires to bestow that were received from the Creator, and then the upper force is clothed in us, and reveals itself many times more than at the beginning of creation.

We attain the Creator in an ever more genuine, inner form. Thanks to our correction, all parts of the upper worlds are increasingly connected and bind into one whole, which allows us to attain them in the full measure.

The purpose of creation is to unite all the upper worlds so that there is no difference between them, and they all turn into one world—the world of Keter.

Reach Out with Our Hearts to Each Other

567.04Question: We have had a lot of conventions recently and really successful ones. But why does it happen that after each convention we get either Covid or some other blow? Now there is a war in Israel or an earthquake in Turkey. What did we do wrong?! What do we need to change within us?

Answer: We need to change our hearts so that we really reach out with our hearts to each other and feel each in his heart the heart of a friend.

Now, after the convention, the Creator wants to give us a new condition. If we rise above it, we will really move forward. How? Very simply. The connection of hearts!

Question: Is it correct to say that war and death are also a correction?

Answer: Yes, but this is an undesirable way.

275Question: We notice that after each convention we get undesirable states because the Creator gives us a lot of light of Hochma. How can we produce more light of Hasadim? What is the difference in our work?

Answer: Our work depends on the aspiration of our hearts to each other. The light of Hasadim is the light of a correct, heartfelt rapprochement. This is what we are lacking.

Question: At the hour when the judgment falls, as it is now, and at the hour when, God forbid, it will be the darkest before dawn, what feelings and sensations should we experience?

Answer: That all this is being done for our sake, and we must move forward in a greater and greater connection of everyone with everyone, and thus we will overcome all obstacles.

During these Difficult Days

510.01During these difficult days when the people of Israel are in a terrible crisis and broken hearted, we can have only one desire: to forget about all the differences between us and unite above all of them, precisely in spite of them. This is what will lead everything to correction.

We can still hear mutual accusations about who is to blame for what is happening and where it all started. But the fault lies with all of us. Everyone should feel this catastrophe happened and is still ongoing because of themselves. Everyone is obliged to feel this way and not blame others, but only oneself, because each one is guilty of not acting with all one’s might to reveal the connection between us.

Therefore, we, the people of Israel, must connect as one man with one heart.

There is only one way to change the situation for the better; it is through our connection. In the end, all of humanity must connect into one system, one person called Adam.

It seems there is no way we can talk about connection when there is such hostility and differences of parties and opinions. But inside each person, there are enemies, different parties and opinions. We include everyone within ourselves, and each person contains everything that exists in the world. But despite all this, we all need to connect and feel responsible for world peace for everyone.

As a result, we need to reach a state where our connection will be above all restrictions and above all the disturbances.

Masters of Spiritual Heights

750.03It is very important to feel confident on the spiritual path. We can only rely on our great teachers who have already walked this path and paved spiritual steps for our ascent. It is like a group of climbers making their way to the top where the strongest go first and cut the steps for those behind them.

This is how we should follow the great Kabbalists, learn from their books, and do what they advise. And if we follow all their instructions exactly, we will definitely succeed.

They do not hide anything from us. If they do not write about everything, it is only so as not to confuse us who are like little children that are too young to read adult books. Therefore, Kabbalists reveal this wisdom gradually, more and more, until we attain all the perfect creation in full.

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.
