Tune in to Positive Thinking

630.2Question: Many researchers in the field of psychology say that lucky people are extroverts who are charged with positive emotions from communicating with other people, from making new connections. Is there a direct connection between luck and communication with other people?

Answer: Yes. In general, humanity has long understood this: if you want to be happy, be happy. It all depends on the person.

Comment: One of the distinguishing features of lucky people is to evaluate luck even when unpleasant events occur.

My Response: Relatively, we must understand that everything that happens occurs by the supreme will.

Therefore, we need to treat everything as it is said: Everything that is done is for the best. In everything, try to tune yourself to a positive way of thinking, try to connect with the Creator who is an absolutely positive upper force that controls everything.

Then I can feel and constantly discover myself in the field of influence of a good upper force.

The Link Between Man and the Creator

933Question: When a person attains the upper force, the Creator, do other people disappear from his sensation?

Answer: They are like a link between him and the Creator. This structure always remains.

This means that you and the Creator exist, only you also include all other people. You will begin to feel them as your “I.” They will be so close to you that only through them will you be able to reach the Creator. Otherwise, you will not feel Him, you will not be able to get close to Him.

Question: Does measure of connection with the Creator depend on the number of people with whom I can unite?

Answer: Also from the quantity of people.

Question: Is it possible that all people on Earth are so dear to a Kabbalist?

Answer: He sees that they are parts of his soul.

Special Sensitivity of the Kabbalists

294.4Question: Is a person with spiritual memory no longer afraid of any cataclysms?

Answer: No, he is afraid. If he still exists in the body, then he cannot go anywhere.

Kabbalists get sick and suffer physically just like ordinary people and even more so. We can say that they feel all cataclysms before other people: both through the spiritual on their corporeal body, and through the corporeal on the spiritual one.

In this sense, they are more sensitive and more vulnerable because they also have a “subtle body.” So a Kabbalist is not protected more than other people.

And why should he protect himself? After all, we are talking about Kabbalah as the science of bestowal, love, and connection with others, and you suggest isolating yourself from everyone.

Therefore, a Kabbalist, by being connected with everyone else, feels these blows and sometimes feels them first.

Combining Two Worlds within Yourself

712.03Question: Is it by chance that Earth is the third and only planet in the solar system capable of sustaining biological life?

Answer: There are certain natural conditions on Earth for creating life the way we perceive it in our sensations.

These conditions are ideal, although they change within a certain framework. There are no such conditions anywhere else in the universe. You can look for all kinds of aliens; they are nowhere to be found.

Naturally, we can talk about Mars as Earth’s past and Venus as Earth’s future. This is clear from astronomy. But, the fact is, there are special conditions on Earth that stem from our universe, our galaxy, that is, the Milky Way.

In the solar system, Earth’s relation to the Moon and the Sun is Malchut, Zeir Anpin, and Bina of the world of Atzilut. This is how it works in the upper system and leads to such consequences in our world that ideally coincide, stay in a certain rhythm with each other, meaning, minutes, hours, years, etc., and constantly moves us forward. These rhythms are embedded in the cosmic system itself because this is how they descend from our souls.

First, a system of souls was formed, an upper system. Then, as a consequence for its realization, our universe, the solar system, and the conditions of life on Earth were formed. However, all the stages of development that we have passed and are going through on Earth have already been passed by us in the spiritual world.

While we are still on this Earth, we must combine our spiritual qualities with earthly ones so that a person standing with two feet in this world is simultaneously in the upper world, i.e., a person by having revealed both worlds simultaneously exists in them both.

Nature leads us to this. It does not let us live in peace in the material world, it pushes us to realize that if we want to live well, we must simultaneously reveal the upper world and combine both worlds in ourselves.

Then man will really be above nature in the quality of bestowal. He will become as global and integral as the whole of nature.

He will control it, be above it, around it, and include the whole of nature in him. Only in this way will we be able to avoid very serious upheavals.

The Third Temple Is Not a Building

292Question: Anya asks: “When will the Third Temple be built? I sincerely believe that then silence will come, and we will understand that it is forbidden to kill each other, hate each other. I so want peace to come. Tell me, your nation built the First and Second Temples; it was a happy time, wasn’t it? Who will build the Third Temple? How will this happen? Is it possible to speed up the construction? And will our world come to peace and happiness then? Do I understand correctly?”

Answer: I do not know what exactly you understand based on what you have written. I understand that if we are going to build the Third Temple, then we now need to recruit Chinese, Taiwanese, or Arabs at our side.

Gather them, collect building materials, hire a huge office that would do the design and everything else. Recruit experts who would think about what it should look like and so on. And start building slowly. Collect money from all over the world.

But, let’s agree on this: The Third Temple will not be a building. It will be built from the hearts of people, from the desires of people who will wish for it to exist. And there will be nothing material, tangible, from vegetative or animate in it, but only human desire.

Question: So we are the builders of the Temple?

Answer: Our desires! Those who wish to unite together and complement each other to such a state that they can assemble a place that will contain the Creator. The Creator does not need stones. The Creator needs desire! Our yearning to unite between each other, which will at the same time become this house, this will be the place for the revelation of the Creator to all mankind.

Question: So the Creator can only enter such a house? In one desire, directed toward unity, toward connection of all. Is this the house built from hearts?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does it have windows, doors?

Answer: They are desires! Nothing is needed. Only desires, collective desires, united only in the fact that together, in connection, in love for each other, we will achieve such a state which will be equal to the quality of the Creator. And this is called the Third Temple.

Question: Anya says that Jewish people built the First and the Second Temple, and they were destroyed. Who is building the Third Temple?

Answer: All the nations of the world. The whole world.

Question: What will push the whole world to this, to build the Third Temple?

Answer: Humanity will be prompted to build the Third Temple by realizing the necessity of good intentions, thoughts, or, God forbid, from states of bitterness, weakness, war, and great suffering.

Comment: Which seems to be closer, unfortunately.

My Response: No, it should be somewhere at their intersection.

Question: Meaning, maybe something will lead forward and something will loom ahead, and something will push from behind?

Answer: It is like getting out of Egypt. The Egyptians were chasing from behind, and Moses was walking in front and going straight to the Red Sea. Neither one is good, but this is the state that you need to move to.

Question: And so we will move to the construction of the Third Temple?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But it definitely will be built?

Answer: It is inevitable! It is already inevitable; there is nothing that can be done. Proceeding exactly from this end, the beginning of creation and the beginning of everything that exists comes.

Question: So you can say that the Creator looks at humanity from this state and invites us?

Answer: Yes.

In A Whirlwind Of Doubt

276.02Comment: It is written in the sources that Pharaoh is a quality of the Oref  (back of the neck), narrow-sea (Metzar-Yam). When the upper good descends to the lower ones, Pharaoh sucks it out through his question: “Who is the Creator that I should listen to Him”?

My Response: The problem is that when a person aspires to spirituality, all sorts of doubts arise in him, which, in principle, are expressed in two questions: “Who should I listen to? Where should I go”?

Why should I bow before the qualities of bestowal and love? Why should I come closer to others? Why should I hate reception and extol the quality of bestowal? All these questions, which can be expressed in another way, are called the questions of Ma? (What?) and Mi? (Who?).

Question: What should I answer if my inner voice wakes up and says: “Who is the Creator? Why should I listen and work for Him at all?”

Answer: The problem is not Who is the Creator? But Who is the Creator that I should listen to Him?. These questions cannot be answered in any way. There is only one answer, I go above these questions.

Question: What will give me the fuel to rise above them?

Answer: You have no other choice. Once you begin to respond in this way, you will see that you have energy, and you have the opportunity to continue the spiritual path. As soon as you take the first step, fuel will immediately appear from somewhere.

Our nature only works if we have some benefit from that. Although, on one hand, the nature of a person seems to stand behind Pharaoh, but in fact, it stands behind the Creator. We must understand that this is arranged specially in this way to educate a person.

United Culture—Mutual Love

509There is no redemption of the body without redemption of the soul. As long as the majority of the people are captive in the foreign cultures of the nations and are incapable of Israel’s religion and culture, the bodies, too, will be captive under the alien forces (Baal HaSulam, “A Speech for the Completion of The Zohar“).

Question: What does in captivity of foreign cultures mean? After all, it is good that everyone came to Israel with their own culture; it enriches the people.

Answer: But we must rise above all cultures into our culture, which is called mutual love, mutual connection. If we rise to this, then we can really move forward to the likeness of the Creator. This is the task of our development.

Question: Do you think that until now the people who live here are each in their own culture?

Answer: Even without any culture, but not in one.

Blows to Egoism

37Question: Is there any connection between the ten Egyptian plagues, the ten Sefirot and the Ten Commandments?

Answer: Yes. Everything is divided into tens.

Question: Why were there exactly ten plagues?

Answer: Because this is an absolutely complete impact, good or bad, of one on the other: the Creator on the creation, the creations on the Creator, and them among themselves.

Question: Are we talking about my desires that must receive ten portions of blows in order to get out of the egoistic intention?

Answer: Yes, at each of the degrees, in every desire, there must be a revelation of egoism. This is called the revelation of evil. Only then does a person come to the decision to rise above his ego.

In other words, my soul, my core desire, consists of ten Sefirot. And since they are all with an egoistic intention, each of them must receive a blow in order to get rid of the ego.

How The Influence Of The Creator Occurs

544Question: The Creator is the force that created us, that affects each of us through the ten or even through all of humanity. Does it mean that there is no direct influence on an individual, although everyone feels it personally?

Answer: One person as such does not exist. He always has a connection with the Creator, and the Creator has a connection with him through the ten.

Even if something happens to us, it still goes through the entire system. The Creator has no connection and no relationship with each person at all, only through the system in which he exists.

It is like we consist of billions of cells, and there is no point in one cell.

The Simplest Efforts

632.3Question: What efforts should each person make?

Answer: Efforts to unite. It’s the simplest thing! At that, you do not have to think about bestowing to the Creator, about sublime matters and upper worlds. You just need to know only one thing: the correct connection between people reveals the upper world. That’s all.

Let’s start gradually building a correct system of relationships between us. This network will reveal to us the next level, the cosmic one, a completely different dimension. We will become other beings in spirit, not in body!

We will begin to feel ourselves floating without any problems in an infinite, perfect state.
