Until Habit Becomes Second Nature

281.02Every day we must constantly pull ourselves up and thus overcome all problems.

When there is a taste for something, it is easier to develop a habit. In order to feel the taste of bestowal, you need to cling to your friends, talk to them about it, discuss it, and then you will understand how to grasp a higher degree in an easier way.

The result of the habit should be a positive connection and love.

Question: It seems to me that I already attend lessons and meetings out of habit, but it seems to remain a semi-finished product of desire.

Answer: Correct. It will be so until the meaning of these actions is revealed to you.

You have to keep going until the habit becomes second nature.

How Can You Stop Justifying Egoism?

294.3Question: How can we make it so that we do not constantly justify egoism but make it work for us?

Answer: The best thing is to do it with love. When I try to develop love for friends, my egoism moves somewhere to the side.

Question: How can I avoid justifying any of my actions by the statement “There is none else besides Him” since this removes all responsibility from me?

Answer: Integrate with the group more, and then it will become clearer what you are doing.

The Main Thing Is to Bring Hearts Closer Together

528.02Question: When preparing for each meeting or lesson, I have to scrutinize the reason I want to feel the greatness of the Creator. If I have no such habit, does it mean the basis for spiritual work has not been built?

Answer: It is desirable to have one or two questions prepared in advance on the topic we are studying, then listen to the lesson and ask new questions.

Question: Sometimes I am in a state where I am already thinking about my friends, so that they come to a meeting, overcome obstacles, and feel the greatness of the Creator. And the state of thinking about myself disappears. Is this state more similar to the Creator? Should there be any stages in this work?

Answer: The main thing is to bring hearts closer together. You need nothing else. You should constantly remind each other about this. After all, the moment you leave your hearts and do not direct them to get closer to each other, you immediately crumble. Think all the time about the way to be in one heart.

In a Single Thought

165Question: How can we always be in search of the Creator? We are constantly looking for something, and some things lead us away from the search for the main thing in life. How can we not make mistakes and look only for the Creator?

Answer: I think it is necessary to talk more often with your friends about the need to unite with each other in such a desire, in such an intention, in such a thought that you could attract the Creator to yourself.

What for? So that He fills you and raises you to His level. This is what you desire.

Take all your friends, even the entire world group, connect them all mentally and turn to the Creator.

Sensitivity to Friends

528.02Question: There are states in the ten when you feel ascent, joy, and love for friends. It seems that everything is fine. But suddenly friends leave with great criticism. Does it mean that we do not see the real state of the friends in the connection but only our egoism?

Answer: It happens in different ways. How can we rise above egoism without revealing it?

Question: How do we step over our states and see what friends really feel?

Answer: You have to imagine this even if you do not see it. You have to justify them.

Of course, you may not notice that a friend is feeling bad. Therefore, we need to talk about it and try to think good about everyone.

Question: In developing sensitivity to friends, we experience two polar states: either you are completely insensitive or, to the contrary, you are very worried and overreact about anything. How can one control this sensitivity?

Answer: I cannot advise anything. Keep going and you will see that you will still come to the correct result. Just continue, every day, so that there is something new in your relationship and in your appeal to the Creator.

A Game of Two Systems

232.05Question: In the Introduction to the Wisdom of Kabbalah it is said that there are two systems: the system of holiness and the system of Klipot (Impure forces). What are they?

Answer: The fact is that the desire originally created by the Creator as a desire to receive can be corrected to a desire to bestow. If the desire to receive is opposite to the quality of light, wants to receive everything into itself, and be filled with light, then the desire to bestow, on the contrary, is similar to light.

And to the extent that it resembles the light, it comes closer to it.

Thus, from the desire to receive created by the Creator, the desire to bestow is formed as well, and we work with these two desires.

Therefore, the system of holiness and the system of Klipot work against each other. The desire to receive and the desire to bestow are opposite each other and play out between themselves either a direct or an inverse relationship to creation.

Question: Does the person not exist here yet?

Answer: The system called Man appears after everything is created and distributed. A person is someone who begins to consciously work with the systems of holiness and Klipot from down below, up.

The Light of the Creator—Support and Help

549.02Comment: I can quiet my evil inclination only when there is the light of connection in the group. And when it stops shining, the evil inclination immediately takes possession of me.

My Response: Very good. This means that you must constantly ask to be influenced by the light of the Creator, the power of the Creator, which will keep you in the right state. Nothing else is required.

It cannot be otherwise. How do we have the strength to resist egoism? Only if the Creator will shine on us.

We Are Not Obligated to Wait till the End of 6,000 Years

933Question: Has the possibility of unity and mutual guarantee ever been realized?

Answer: Yes, the possibility of realizing unity worldwide first emerged in ancient Babylon 3,700 years ago.

Abraham attempted to accomplish this, but was able to take only a few thousand people with him out of Babylon who, under his leadership, were able to form a mutual guarantee among themselves. The rest scattered around the world.

Today the entire world resembles a global Babylon, and we must return to global mutual guarantee on a worldwide scale. This task must be completed in a maximum of 217 years, but it could end much earlier, possibly even in our time.

Currently, the year is 5783 according to the Jewish calendar. We do not have to wait until the year 6000 as we can attract the appropriate forces and accelerate this development.

In case the world follows the path of suffering and is pushed forward by evolution, then it will continue until exactly 6,000 years. But if it follows the path of light, drawing spiritual actions, corrections, and changes in us, then time will compress to just a few years, and that is all.

After all, 6,000 years are 6,000 changes. These are no longer years as we transform them into our inner changes. However, if we will not do this, then physically on the timeline they will still have to be realized within 6,000 years under the pressure of nature. And if we add the pressure of the right environment to nature, then we will accelerate both the path and the time.

It Is Best to Show an Example

962.2Question: If I see that a friend is suffering from not being annulled, how can we work with it, and where is the place of my correction?

Answer: You have to give him an example of how to annul so that he sees what needs to be done and will do the same.

Do not tell him about the problem, it is better to show an example. Maybe he will understand.

What Can Bring Contentment to the Creator?

243.04Question: The feeling of the Creator’s greatness is pleasure and joy. How do we accept this state correctly in order not to receive pleasure for our own sake, but to become a giver to bring contentment and delight to the Creator?

Answer: We must be ready for this. We want to reveal the Creator only to bring Him contentment. When we reveal the Creator, it will add great strength to our work.

Question: The Creator constantly gives us the opportunity to choose. How do we choose what will delight Him?

Answer: What will delight your friends will delight Him.

Question: And if we proceed from the corporeal world?

Answer: What can you give to the Creator from the corporeal world? Nothing.

He has everything: all the necessary Kelim and means to feel you in any state.
