If There Was No Creation, There Would Be No Creator

275We must try to understand the principle of our connection with the genuine universe, the revelation of the Creator, which consists precisely in getting closer to the property of bestowal, love, and connection, but at the same time not in disconnecting from the opposite properties of closeness, bestowal, connection, and love.

That is, the opposite properties will also be revealed in us, the properties of rejection all the way to hatred. But these seemingly mutually exclusive properties should be together. They allow us to exist as independent creatures. Otherwise, we would simply disappear and the Creator would exist.

We cannot imagine this because the Creator would not exist in the sense in which we can talk about Him because He is the property of the connection of opposites, the unification of the separated parts. And if there were no creation, there would be no Creator.

Therefore, as the creation develops, it becomes more and more egoistic, torn to pieces, distant, and divided in all its properties. This is only so that we further reveal the unity and reveal the property of the Creator.

That is why it is written: “You created Me.” You create Me, that is, it is from the opposite; from egoism, hatred, and rejection of each other we build this property of attraction and connection all the way to love, to complete mutual inclusion of everyone in everything.

Thus, we achieve precisely this property, which one might say did not exist before us and is called the Creator. This is the goal of our development.

Everyone Sees What He Wants

294.2Question: There are disciplines involved in interpreting Bible prophecies. Is it possible to establish the accuracy of their interpretation, the single true meaning of the text?

Answer: No it is not possible. The fact is that a prophet never speaks accurately because the integration of our world with the spiritual world is very ambiguous, difficult, and happens around certain people or even one person. It is not that you would simply go out on the street and see how the world has changed, that is, what the prophet has said and this is how it would appear to everyone.

The world has many different shapes, and everyone can feel it to the extent of their equivalence with the prophet, with the prophecy. Therefore, everyone will see what he wants.

Toward Global Communication

546.03Question: What is the main message in the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Answer: It is about the fact that our world is developing toward more and more universal communication at all levels and in all its parts, and we need to support this connection between everyone and in everything.

Therefore, we are trying to reach out to people in all languages and at all levels so that they understand that the most important thing for everyone is communication, connection, and mutual support. Only then can we achieve the correction of the world.

The whole Torah speaks about proper communication between people, which is expressed in love for one’s neighbor, in mutual guarantee.

Question: Is that why asceticism and seclusion are not encouraged?

Answer: This should all be inside a person: be ascetic about yourself and friendly with a wide embrace toward others.

Levels Of Attainment: Dreams, Angels, Visions

276.02Question: There are prophets who received information in a dream. What is this way of communicating with nature?

Answer: These are all levels of attainment. In fact it does not mean a dream or a conversation or seeing with our usual instruments.

It is often written in the sources that the prophets received information not directly from the Creator but through angels. Angels are a level of connection with the upper force, with nature.

The highest level is adhesion with the Creator when all the forces that exist in a person are locked onto the Creator. There is no longer a division in communication into any levels, for example, vision, hearing, or sensations. Everything is included in this highest level.

To Feel Love, You, Yourself Have To Love

527.02Question: The great Kabbalist of the twelfth century Rambam compares love for the Creator with love for a woman: “Like someone lovesick whose mind is not free because of love for that woman, and he always abides in it: whether he sits or stands up, or eats or drinks. Love for the Creator should be in the hearts of those who love Him and abide in it always, as we are commanded to always love Him with all our heart and with all our soul. ”

King Solomon also spoke about this. What is this state of being sick with love?

Answer: This feeling cannot be conveyed in words. Love for the Creator is manifested to the extent that we can relate to Him correctly.

We feel the Creator all the time. Apart from Him, there is nothing to affect us. This manifests itself through everything that is around us, and we constantly feel the manifestation of the Creator in us, but do not understand it.

The Creator is hidden behind these sensations because since we are egoists that are opposite to the Creator, we cannot feel Him. Like a child who does not understand his parents who treat him with all their love, he thinks that they do not want to give him what he wants.

From the side of the Creator comes absolute love for us. We just feel it when we ourselves relate to Him with love. To the extent our directions coincide, to this extent, we feel that the Creator loves us.

Question: What does with all my heart and with all my soul mean?

Answer: With everything that is in me, both desires and intentions.

The Development Of A Spiritual Seed

232.08Question: The human body dies along with all its earthly desires. What happens to the desire, which is called a point in the heart?

Answer: Nothing. If a person has not developed this desire, it exists in him in its rudimentary state, it remains in the form of a dot, like a drop of seed. How can we say about a grain not placed in the ground that there is life in it? I take this grain, grind it, and eat it. But I can plant it in the ground and something will grow out of it.

This means it all depends on whether I am working to grow something from this drop of the spiritual seed or spiritual life. It exists in me in potential, but am I developing it? Do I give this drop a uterus, so to say, in which it could develop and be born? It is in this that I will become a person, but already a new one, in a different world.

If I create a special environment around a drop of seed (the desire for the upper), a group, Kabbalah classes, and dissemination efforts, then I clothe it in a shell in which it develops and I begin to feel its development.

This desire becomes more and more voluminous. I feel all kinds of qualities in it and various movements. Suddenly, through it, I begin to see a completely new world, new sensations, and new relationships.

As in material life, the fetus developing inside the mother has no connection with our world and simply exists in a closed space, so first I go through such a period of intrauterine spiritual development. Then I am born and begin to feel myself existing in a different form, I develop in the spiritual world.

We go through the same stages in it as in our world, only there we do not come to death because we merge. We begin to merge with our souls, our expanded, enhanced, developed desires. When we connect, then, like cells in the body, we begin to transfer to each other everything we only can and mutually interchange with each other.

That is when our common body acquires a life and feels above itself. Just as the cells of the body act only for the body to exist, so our souls exist to maintain life above themselves, and because of this, they exist.

How Can We Feel The Creator Loves Us?

565.01Question: Is love for the Creator and the feeling of His greatness and importance one and the same?

Answer: No. The feeling of greatness and importance is the feeling of the Creator. Love is your attitude to Him; not His attitude to you or how you perceive Him, but how you react to it.

Question: Initially, it is said that the Creator loves us. How is His love for us manifested?

Answer: It is not manifested in anything. It depends on a person, on how he reveals his connection with the force that defines him, feels, animates, controls, and leads him.

In the measure of your attitude to the Creator, you can feel His attitude to you. If you love Him, you will feel that He loves you.

Question: Sometimes, when something good happens in life, it seems that some upper force loves you, helps you. Or is it not this?

Answer: It may happen, but this is not what we should come to. We must achieve love for the Creator in all His manifestations and make sure that they are all the absolute good for us, even if they once seemed negative to us. This, as the sages write, is absolute love.

To Not Lose Touch With The Creator

527.03Complete love is love on both sides, whether in Din, or in Hesed and successful ways. He will love the Creator even if He takes His soul away from Him. This love is complete, for it is on both sides, in Hesed and in Din  (The Book of Zohar).

Question: What does it mean “The Creator takes the soul”?

Answer: This means that in all states, from the best to the worst, we should relate with love to the upper force, which contains the entire universe, including all of us with all of our feelings and properties. We must understand that the upper force infinitely, endlessly loves us. And if we feel something bad, it is because we do not understand it and are opposite to it in properties. It wants to give everything, to love, and to fill.

And we want to be independent, not relate to it in any way and think only of ourselves. Everything that happens in a person’s life happens only because it is planned and created by the Creator. Nothing happens by the will of man. And therefore in any state we are in, we should not lose touch with Him and should realize that this comes from absolute love and only for our good. Only in this way can we achieve full contact with Him.

Comment: They say that Kabbalists use bad states for even greater connection with the Creator.

My Response: Yes, it is in difficult conditions that they try to reveal themselves even more to the Creator with the greatest devotion and union with Him.

Question: Does it turn out that it’s like a game where you are given some difficult states?

Answer: The Creator does this on purpose. He creates all kinds of states for us to rise above them and be adhered, tied, and connected to Him.

When The Awakening Departs

534Rabash, “You Stand Today,” 471: Likewise, when a person feels the love of the Creator, he understands that it is worthwhile to leave other loves for the love of the Creator. But later, when the awakening passes away from him and he no longer feels the love of the Creator, he will want to return to the other loves that he had already decided to toss away.

At that time, a person needs the covenant and [to] maintain the same conduct that he had while he felt the love of the Creator, although now he has no feeling whatsoever. Then, the work must be compulsory, to enslave himself to the covenant that he had made before. This is called “that you may enter into the covenant.”

Question: If there is no more love, it is necessary to make a covenant in order to forcefully return to the state of love. What kind of covenant is it?

Answer: If I realize with my mind that everything comes from the Creator and that everything around and inside of me is absolutely good, I make a commitment that I will continuously reveal this state in me, and not for the sake of making me feel good about it, of course it will be good for me, but for the sake of bestowing pleasure to the Creator.

I do not want to think bad of Him, speak bad of Him, begrudge Him, and see evil in everything. I must correct all the evil in me, and then I will see absolute good around me.

Question: Is it possible to control your feelings and emotions? A state comes and that is it.

Answer: I ask the Creator to help me in this. Without turning to the Creator, without an insistent and repetitive request, I will not achieve anything.

Question: That is, I cannot fulfill this covenant by myself?

Answer: Of course not. Only if you ask Him.

Understanding The Language Of Prophecy

137Question: For almost 1,000 years, from the construction of the First Temple to the destruction of the Second Temple, there was a period of prophets. How should we relate to their texts that are accepted in all religions?

We know that the Torah is written in the language of allegories, the language of branches, which describes spiritual forces in the words of our world. Can we interpret the prophecies in the same way?

Answer: Undoubtedly. In the Torah, that is, in the general texts of the Tanakh (The Torah, Prophets, and Scriptures) there is nothing that a simple mind can understand. All of them are intended for people who want to rise above our world and see the forces and systems that control it.

Question: This means that if a scientist, for example a university professor, reads these prophecies, studies them, and makes a comparative analysis of the texts, he will still not be able to determine whether it is correct or not. So, is it impossible? Is it necessary to rise to the spiritual level in order to understand what it is about?

Answer: Of course. Both the one who speaks and the one who listens must be on a spiritual level.
