When an Enemy Turns into a Friend

963.1Question: How does a person use envy correctly without trying to extinguish it in oneself?

Answer: There is no need to extinguish anything, not even the most negative thoughts and motives! All of this is corrected by the light, not you, so there is nothing to suppress in yourself.

On the contrary, when all sorts of negative qualities manifest themselves, it means that now you need upper light that will correct you a little. That is all. Meaning, you have a need for light, and without negative feelings it would not exist.

Question: Let us say a person has a need for light, but it does not take away his desire to stab someone. Or is it somehow transformed?

Answer: It is transformed. It is like you are cutting the intention, but the desire remains.

If you have a desire to slaughter people, then go to the slaughterhouse and work there as a slaughterer of cattle. And the transformation takes place in intentions.

My intention to cause someone some kind of injury turns into the opposite. I correct it with the help of the upper light to the opposite, and my enemy becomes my most beloved friend, no matter how incredible it seems now.

Conceal the Creator from Yourself Voluntarily

294.4It is not easy to climb the spiritual degrees by faith above reason because the picture that appears before you is absolutely clear and understandable to you. This is the hostile action of egoism that reveals the future to you as the present, and you must neglect what you see as if it does not exist.

The revelation of the Creator unfolds all possibilities before you, not just a temporary scan, and makes the future like the present, because there is no future, present, and past.

The surrounding light is the future. The light emanating from Partzuf Nekudim is the past. The inner light (Ohr Pnimi) that fills the Partzuf is the present.

When a person has all this converging into one, he does not take it into account; he has a screen to disassemble everything into parts and make a temporary setup himself, to go through all these states with his own efforts.

In other words, the Creator reveals Himself and everything becomes absolutely clear, but a person voluntarily conceals the Creator from himself, i.e., all the energy, information, action, and plan, in order to create a picture out of the darkness by himself and combine it into one mosaic, because in this way he learns the inner meaning of the Creator and this will give the Creator pleasure. That is what he is interested in!

So Kabbalists have a slightly different approach compared to psychics. We disagree with them because first we need a screen to turn our world into a world of infinity in all respects with infinite knowledge, attainment, movement, or whatever.

The screen is necessary for one to own, like the Creator, who took all the power of the universe, and not our little world that occupies one dark point, and to use this power as he sees fit based on his elevation.

Opportunities should not exceed knowledge, otherwise you see what an atomic bomb in the hands of savages can lead to.

Signs of Spiritual Roots

557The Ari’s book Gate of Intentions, which in fact means their roots, describes spiritual actions that are behind physical actions. From this, it becomes clear why a person is arranged in such a way that he must eat certain food.

Precisely a certain one, that is, to not eat the meat of animals that swallow food, but only of ruminants that regurgitate food and swallow, regurgitate and swallow. Such a closed cycle of digestion symbolizes feedback.

The “cloven hooves” represent the Parsa that separates the right and left lines.

Of great importance is how to cook food, and why it should be kosher. Kosher means usable.

The separation of meat from dairy is the right and left lines. The six hours break between eating them is HGT NHY: six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin that separate it from Malchut. And so on.

All this is in imitation of the upper spiritual sources that have descended into our world and built their corporeal counterparts in it.

The Biggest Еgoist in the World

231.02Question: It is said in Kabbalah that those who are greater than their friends have more egoism. Surely you are the greatest egoist of all, are you not?

Answer: I have always been a very big egoist, so much so that I simply could not hear others and be in tune with them.

Question: How do you have the patience now to listen to the most stupid statements?

Answer: The fact is that I integrate with the one who asks, in his desire. His desire is new in the world. It does not matter that I went through that already and he did not. In the general system, this desire has not yet been corrected, and when a person asks, I connect to his desire and make a correction.

For me this is an opportunity to do more, so I am glad for such manifestations. The same questions can be repeated for thousands of hours, but each time they are asked by different elements of the general system of souls, and therefore every time I look at this as an opportunity for correction. With my answer, I connect a person to the spiritual, and he continues on.

Switching occurs through me.

It is just a system, like that which we see today in technology, in computers, and in some large networks. It is a system! Of course, it works on completely different principles, primarily on the principles of bestowal. Secondly, it is integral. Everything in it interacts simultaneously; there is no time, no cycles. This is not a pulse system, but an analog one. It is impossible to describe it.

But in principle it is possible to influence each other in some way. Prayer is called the revelation of desire, and the answer to prayer is the reception and fulfillment of desire. There are two very interesting articles in The Book of Zohar about raising prayer and about its fulfillment; these laws of commutation are described there.

Grasp the Feeling of The Creator

527.03In physics, there are phenomena that based on some alternative possibilities and research, we come to the conclusion that something exists, but we cannot determine it even indirectly. We have the same problem with the Creator. People guess and make assumptions about Him, and on these bases philosophies, religions, and what not arise!

What is this force that determines, creates, and brings everything to life? We cannot feel this either in our bodily senses or with artificially created instruments. We cannot! We do not have such a measuring tool or some kind of scanner or X-ray.

Kabbalah directs a person to create a device within oneself that will enable the person to sense the Creator, tune oneself to this phenomenon, this force, this field, and by continuously changing oneself to come closer and closer to it. You need to work tirelessly on yourself and then it will happen.

It is said that after you make certain quantitative and qualitative efforts which are called Igati (came), you will reveal Him, which is called Matsati (found). And that is it!

The only problem is that we do not know exactly what kind of efforts there are. And for that we have been given a group and all the conditions that Kabbalists write about.

In principle, Kabbalah exists only to help a person not be confused, but to apply the right amount of effort in the right place and as efficiently as possible.

And then, when you grasp the tail of the feeling of the Creator, and you already have it, you begin to move forward along it. You grab the end of the rope and climb up. The main task of Kabbalists is to bring us to the first contact in order to grasp the feeling of the Creator.

Therefore, every day you need to change and be afraid that you are losing time. After all, here you are racing against time.

Dissemination Is a Push to Rise

254.01Comment: You say that dissemination is more useful to us than to the world because the world does not change. We must change it.

My Response: Yes, the more I pass the light through me to the whole world, naturally the more I ascend and rise. It is an interconnected system. I cannot ascend unless the next layer forms underneath me. This is how I grow, only through the students.

Once upon a time, the first Kabbalists were at the level of NHY, the lowest Sefirot. Then a layer of students started to form under them who reached the level of HGT, and then to the level of HBD. That is, everything grows from the bottom to the top because more and more corrected souls are connected from below.

The same thing happens with us; if you want to rise even a little, you need some more people to form under you.

For example, if you make a certain dissemination project in such a way that many people will awaken from it to a correct action and as a result they somehow indirectly, no matter how, reach the source of light, then naturally, a huge foundation will be formed under you so that you can rise.

What Is Attainment?

226Question: You said that attainment is the perception of the opposite. Is this the correct definition of attainment?

Answer: Yes, attainment appears only from the perception of the opposite. Otherwise, there would be nothing.

The Creator does not have this. In the absolute, if we can somehow talk about His existence outside of us, everything exists outside the definition of a thing from its absence, some property from its opposite, light-darkness. It exists only in us.

Therefore, we must accumulate many sensations of light-darkness in ourselves and from this create a picture of the world and of ourselves.

Question: What is attainment for all sorts of gurus, for example, Indian yogis?

Answer: This is the psychology of our world. The time will come when people will rise above it.

They will see where the science of attainment called Kabbalah is, and where the beliefs and personal impressions of a person are, which he somehow gained in our world and which are mainly based on rituals: how to dress, dance, sit down, stand up, and so on. All this is connected with his material life, his physical body, some actions, words, and everything else.

But here there is none of that. This means that if an initial desire for spirituality arises in a person, then the method of its development does not at all apply to our world.

Not All Habits Are Good

281.02Comment: A student who is not yet in attainment has a feeling that there is a certain force, but he does not use it as a Kabbalist because he does not understand it.

My Response: If he does not understand, then you cannot do anything. We must strive to reveal it.

The most important thing is not to feel crushed by everyday life so that what was yesterday is yesterday, today is completely new, and every time it is new more and more. It is hard but necessary for advancement. To meet every minute and ask yourself: “Well, what’s new?”—shake off the dust that settles on you every second.

Comment: The main problem is that many people freeze and enter a layer of some kind of habit.

My Response: That is the worst part. As Pushkin wrote, “Thus heaven’s gift to us is this: That habit takes the place of bliss.” This is terrible happiness. It is not only an animate level but the happiness of the dead, when you exist and that is it. We must fight this state.

Comment: But on the other hand, there is a need for a person to get used to something and at the same time always to be refreshed.

My Response: And what can you get used to? No way! Habit is death.

Habit should be only at the level of a conscious routine when you set certain tasks for yourself and set a routine in accordance with them. Then you really control yourself and your movements. But if you give yourself up to a dead routine, then that is it.
Everything can be changed and reconsidered at any time. This should be our habit.

Acceleration of Advancement

938.03Question: If a person steps out of the group for some time does it happen according to a program instilled within him?

Answer: No way! A person does not have a predetermined program in regards to approaching or distancing from the Creator! Everything exists within his freedom of will.

This is not predetermined in advance! There are some initial coefficients, constant data that are provided in the common system since this is a system rather than a single person and the Creator. This is a whole body: others will be influencing in some way, the world will be advancing in some way, some of its pieces, meaning souls will fall or rise in the movement toward the approaching and revealing the Creator together, in one single state.

The more effective this will be, the more it will influence a person. The more the world will slow down, the more it will slow down the person. However, these are only the outer data. Every one of us can also influence this.

There are situations you cannot escape. However, when you individually advance toward the Creator, toward His revelation within yourself, you experience these situations in completely different aspects; instead of stopping after receiving a blow, oppositely, you can speed up your movement.

This can be compared to a launch of a space shuttle in the direction of distant planets. When you launch a space shuttle a far distance, the space objects that exist between us and the target object serve as sources of acceleration. If the space shuttle is moving toward them with a certain trajectory, they will attract the space shuttle and will accelerate its movement; however, they will not let it approach them. It is like they pull the space shuttle toward them, it moves faster, eventually skips them, and continues to fly further.

The same is happening in spiritual work. It seems to you that these bodies that are together with you on the path can slow you down, attract, and even swallow you on the way. However, in reality they only accelerate you and you skip through further.

Question: Does it mean it is unrealistic to make a calculation about what is good and what is bad?

Answer: No, only maximum advancement with the help of yourself, the group, and the entire humanity.

States of Disconnection

259.02Comment: Sometimes a person is strongly thrown out of spiritual work. He starts to back off. Maybe he will slowly get closer afterward, but he is already distancing himself.

My Response: We will see later. In the end, he is not going anywhere anyway. Of course, it may take years.

I gave an example of when I was studying with Rabash, a man who had not been there for ten years came back one morning. Then the same morning a second man appeared who had not been there for fifteen years. I quietly asked Rabash: “Who are they?” He replied: “This one has not been here for 10 years and that one for 15. That’s it, they started coming back.” So a new circle began.

It was very interesting to watch those who returned. They did not have any feeling that they had left the group at all. It was strange to see it! As if a person did not have those years, he fell and woke up ten years later. And no one even said a word of reproach to them. Then it struck me!

And now I am not surprised by this and in no case do I worry that I have invested so much in someone, and then they would leave and maybe even say something against our methodology. I understand that they may come back later.

It is not man! These are his internal changes that are simply necessary; otherwise, he will not reach the revelation of the Creator. He must go through everything! If he is driven forward by the light, then all states are good for him.

Question: So these people had to go through a state of disconnection for 10 to 15 years?

Answer: I do not know. After this has passed, you have to say: “Yes, this is how it should be,” but not before that.

Of course, in those 10 years, they could have achieved something more. But, in principle, this is how the program manifested itself, and it depended not only on them. After all, they are a small cell in the huge body of all other souls connected together.
