Two Souls Opening for Us the Door to the Creator

115It is difficult to overestimate the greatness of Baal HaSulam and Rabash because these are people who help us and do their best to raise us from the lowest degree, that is, from this world, to the spiritual degree of the upper world. Apart from them, there are no other people who would care that we rise from the level of death to the level of life, realize why we live, and thanks to what we exist.

They introduce the Creator to us and teach us how to open the door to Him and come closer to Him. Therefore, Rabash and Baal HaSulam are not even two people, but two upper, special spiritual forces that take care of us, and therefore are closer to us than all other created beings.

Reading the lines written by Rabash in honor of his holy father, Baal HaSulam, we will try to connect to them with all our heart and soul and understand that we are granted a connection with these special souls.

Kabbalists are the system of connection in the common soul of Adam HaRishon, which has already been corrected. A person who corrects himself joins this system and, together with all Kabbalists, builds a network that raises all other souls: picks them up, and helps them rise closer and closer to the Creator.

Besides the fact that Kabbalists have left us their articles, they are still all between us and participate in our work. It is said that Kabbalists have no rest either in this world or in the future world because they help us until the very end of correction. After all, all souls are connected, tied up together, and help each other. Even if we do not feel it, like babies who do not understand who cares for them and how, nonetheless this is how it happens.

Close the Eyes and Open the Heart

938.01Question: When I participated in workshops online, it seemed that everything was simple, I closed my eyes and opened my heart. At physical meetings, however, I realized that if I do not close my eyes, I will not be able to open my heart. How can I close my eyes?

Answer: We must try to see our friends (men, women) not with our eyes, but only with our feelings in how much they are aiming together with you to the Creator. In this, you will connect with them, between them, and with the Creator.

Question: What else helps to close my eyes, besides shame?

Answer: The feeling of happiness that you are in the correct direction.

How Can We Change Our World?

715Comment: You call our world low and disgusting. But, in principle, this world is actually spiritual.

My Response: If you use it correctly.

Question: In essence, is it our task to turn perceptions around, and this whole world will become harmonious, beautiful, and pleasant?

Answer: Certainly, just not our world, not this one that you see, but your inner world.

Question: In this case, will our world still remain so dirty, mired in corruption, and crooked, and will it never be corrected?

Answer: It all depends on the relationships between people. If we will correct our relationships, then everything will change. Through our relationships, such a light will begin to shine in this world that it will correct it entirely, everything we have created here is polluted. The light will correct everything to such an extent that the world will be clean, and transparent.

Question: But in essence, this level is also created by the Creator. Why is it considered dirty?

Answer: It is a reflection of our relationships, like a collective mirror that shows the distorted spiritual world. And if I change my attitude toward others, then everything in this mirror will change.

The Hearts of People Are in the Hands of the Creator

49.01Comment: Rabash realized very early that there was no point in correcting others, criticizing them, or pointing out their mistakes.

My Response: Yes, because a Kabbalist does not do this. First of all, what are people’s mistakes? There are none. What arises in them is under the influence of the Creator, nature, that is what is manifested.

How can a person be accused of anything at all, starting with Hitler and Stalin, no matter who? This is nature, it created them like this. Of course, if it were possible to destroy them before they committed their crimes, it would have been done. But what appeared in them arose under the influence of the same Creator. That is what it says: “The hearts of the ministers and kings are in the hands of the Creator.”

And what about the little man? It is the same with him. Therefore, who is to blame, and what is to blame? No one and nothing.

Kabbalah refers to any person only to the extent that he potentially gets the opportunity to promote connection into an integral system, the construction of the walls of our “pot,” in which we will feel eternity, perfection, and access to another degree, the degree of Man with a capital letter.

Now we are still at the animal level. Although it is more developed than others, it is still an animal degree. We live for the body.

Question: But by trying to change the pleasure of power over others into full power over one’s self…, love is a long process that also requires psychological preparation, right?

Answer: Kabbalah is the highest psychology. It reveals to you what you are made of and how to work with it.

The Essence of the Article “The Donkey Driver”

209Question: What is the main idea of the article “The Donkey Driver”? How can you practically use what is written there for your spiritual development?

Answer: Try to find guides in your life who will lead you step by step from degree to degree, so that you finally feel, recognize them, and by yourself begin to ask for the revelation of these degrees.

In principle, this article is an instruction for those who are already in spiritual attainment.

But reading it affects a person who has not yet found all the internal properties and forces in himself and cannot operate them. After all, by reading it, he evokes upon himself the illumination of the upper light, which gradually reveals to him his inner properties and brings him closer to spiritual attainment.

Therefore, even without understanding anything in this text, a person evokes some positive forces that change him. If he is already in attainment, then he consciously uses these forces.

Know Yourself and Your Friends

165Question: How can we determine that criticism from a friend comes from love?

Answer: If you want to connect with your friend, then you must first set a goal, and then all other actions will obey this goal. The purpose of criticism is for us to know ourselves and our friends, and to rise above all disagreements with the Creator.

Question: When I am constantly criticized in the corporeal world, is it correct to leave such an environment?

Answer: Yes, it is worth moving away from them a little. In general, there can be no criticism in the right group. We must accept our friends like a child in a family who is accepted the way he is, and that’s it.

The Difference between Self-Criticism and Self-Chastising

559Question: How do we distinguish between correct self-criticism and self-chastising?

Answer: We should always be in a good mood, even if we fail completely in the connection between us and the Creator.

We still need to be in a good mood because we are somehow connected with Him and thus we are getting closer to Him. Therefore we should be in a good mood pretty much always. We are on the path to the Creator.

The Source of Warmth

509Question: According to the laws of physics, if I want to create a heat-wave, I have to take it from somewhere, and somewhere it will be cold. How can I make sure that the warmth remains everywhere?

Answer: You have a constant source of warmth; it is the Creator. If you are taking warmth from Him, then you will have enough to immerse the entire world in warmth.

Through Coming Closer to Each Other

934Question: How can we promptly prepare each of our desires for correction and for receiving the upper abundance in accordance with the Creator’s desire?

Answer: This is done only through your coming closer to each other. Everything is revealed in the fact that you get closer to each other, and then everything works out for you. Coming closer means to accept the desires of the friends as our own and to ask for the fulfillment of their desires.

Friends show an example and include all of you in a single system. Whether you want it or not, you enter into their actions, and you reach a common effort.

Not all Restrictions Are the Same

253Question: Are the restriction of the Creator in relation to the creation and restriction of the creation in relation to the Creator the same?

Answer: No they are not the same. The Creator restricts His presence in order to give us the opportunity to reveal Him. We restrict our egoistic desire in order to give Him the opportunity to be revealed.
