Toward Correction Of The Last Desires

631.5So that you do not come among these nations, that remain with you; nor shall you make mention of the name of their deities, nor exact oaths [by their name] and you shall not serve them, nor bow to them.

But cling to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day. (Prophets, Joshua, 23:7-23:8)

All the desires and intentions that exist in a person need to be analyzed, identified, and corrected because man was originally created opposite to the Creator.

It is written, “So that you do not come among these nations.” This means that there still remain uncorrected desires between the Israelis.

Question: Will other nations still remain within the last generation, which is already being formed?

Answer: Yes. The fact is that we are corrected gradually. What was not done in previous generations, we are correcting today.

Even what was not corrected during the writing of The Book of Zohar and during the times of other generations of sages and great Kabbalists, we must correct in the final form by rising above ourselves and acquiring the quality of bestowal and love.

This is a very difficult job that has fallen to our lot. It will continue until we complete the final correction of the remaining desires. And they are very serious ones and are called the days and wars of the Messiah.

Comment: It would seem that it is difficult in the beginning, and then it should become easier.

My Response: No, it is not so. However, we acquire qualities, powers, knowledge, and the Torah, that is, a system that has already been mastered before us. Today a new generation is already beginning to embrace it.

In The Abyss Of Egoism

592.03Question: When I plunge into myself, in stillness, in silence, I suddenly see some kind of multidimensionality and myself inside. This evokes a feeling of fear. I kind of open my eyes and do not understand where it all fits.

But listening to you, I remember that I am a black box with five holes through which I discover the world. And what I consider to be the world around me happens in this box. Where am I plunging into?

Answer: Into yourself, into your box. You never get out of it at all and you will not be able to get out. And even when we say that you should come out of it, rise above it, this is said figuratively.

When you master your egoism and start to manipulate it as you want, then you can say that you are, so to say, rising above it. Yet, this is not an ascent above the ego itself but simply working with it with your willpower, your decisions.

I hope you will continue to study and discover all this inside yourself much more clearly.

Three Stages Of Spiritual Development

527.03Question: Does the level of Nefesh (the first spiritual degree) have any connection with Ruach (spirit) and Neshama (soul)?

Answer: Nefesh is the initial stage I must be on in order to fully work it out. After I achieve complete connection with the Creator that is inanimate from my side, and I will definitely feel that there is nothing but this, I will be able to say: “Yes, this is my mother, my mother nature! It is eternal, perfect, with a huge plan for my development along with the rest of mankind.”

At the same time, I want to associate myself with this plan, to develop in unison with it, I agree to this. Then I can be born and start my more conscious development outside of this mother.

Such birth characterizes the degree of my independence, that is, the next step Ruach, when I begin to move a little.

And after this comes the stage of Neshama, which I am already developing in my likeness to the Creator. I, as a small child, take an example from Him, learn from an adult and become more and more equal to him in the quality of bestowal. I am learning to get out of myself more and more, to bestow, to love my neighbor.

Having learned this, I enter the world of Atzilut. Atzilut is the stage of complete similarity to the Creator. There is a serious growth and I consciously understand who the Creator is, I am opposite Him as a partner.

This state is called spiritual union, merging: I offer the Creator all my desires, and He forms and fills them.

The Path To Perfection: The Individual And Humanity

213Question: Why can a single individual attain a perfect state before all of humanity, but at the same time still depend on humanity for attaining perfection?

Answer: The point is that you can attain perfection only when you tie yourself to all of humanity because you must do it in order to bestow. This means that you want to work with the intention to bestow only for the sake of humanity. You cannot bestow to the Creator, there is nothing you can bestow to Him.

If you want to please a woman, for example, treat her child nicely. You do not need to do anything else. It is the same with the Creator. This means that if a person wants to get close to the Creator, there is no other way to do it than by getting closer to all of humanity. By doing so he brings the Creator closer to them and thus he himself gets closer to Him.

Question: What does the quality of one’s life depend on?

Answer: On the number of people, I have brought closer to the Creator. It is to this degree that I have gotten closer to Him. This determines my quality of life.

To Show Men An Example

284Question: What special things can women make you happy with in terms of Kabbalistic work? What do you expect from us?

Answer: I expect you to be loving and supportive of each other, well attuned, and show an example to men. It is necessary to pull men along, push them forward, treat them the way a mother treats children.

Take care of your men and try to make them real Kabbalists, and at the same time you will grow yourself.

Spiritual Maturity

632.3Take good heed to yourselves, to love the Lord your God. (Prophets, The Book of Joshua, 23:11)

To love means that you do not want anything but to feel, understand, and act as the Creator wants.

Make all your thoughts, desires, and intentions, all your insides so that you can cling to the Creator. This is the only way you want to grow, and as soon as new desires appear in you, you also form them in order to merge with Him.

And then you will have even greater desires, which you must shape in order to be more and more merged with the Creator. And so you form yourself in the Creator in an ever greater equivalence with Him. Therefore, you become a fetus inside the Creator.

And then you go through all the other stages of intrauterine development, birth, and growth outside of the Creator. In fact, egoistic desires are triggered in you all the time—stages 0, 1, 2, 3, 4—and you cleave them all to the Creator. These are called the stages of your maturity, growth. You have to give yourself completely to this.

Relationship Between Male And Female Tens

559Question: The ten is a Partzuf. What kind of relationship should there be between male and female tens?

Answer: There is no difference between a male and female ten, but there is no need to mix women and men. Gender differences impose certain restrictions on our communication. In Kabbalah, this cannot be.

Love in our world and spiritual love are two different things and you should not mix them.

Women’s groups should help men’s groups, and men’s groups should recognize their responsibility to women by their confidence, through their moving forward.

The right combination between the tens is very important. There are many of you, and you are a great power if you connect above all distances.

Work Is Only In The Soul!

594Question: Why was it impossible to build a Temple during the time of the twelve tribes?

Answer: What does it mean to build? It would have been better if it were not in stone at all! It is all just dust in the eyes. There is something built up and here we are sitting behind the walls of this temple, as if behind the Kremlin Wall, and everything is fine with us.

Why do we need a material symbol? At one time there were a lot of opponents to this. But, as a rule, those who understand the least are stronger in the material world. People need a toy, so here it is. Apart from that, we have nothing. They replaced the spiritual goal with a wall.

Imagine today that you are going out to the people to tell them something, show them, summarize, present them with a goal, but you have it all purely spiritual, based on the quality of bestowal.

But instead, you show them a huge room, a palace, although it was really very small, sacrifices are burned here, Levites pray there, and Cohenim (Priests) do work here. Everything is clear to both young children and adult children. Man is fighting for symbols, braces.

Question: How else can you approach a person’s heart?

Answer: It is precisely by correcting the heart when you begin to determine in the heart what is holy and what is not.

The people will understand this in accordance with how they rise above themselves, by how much they realize that there is nothing on this earth and all this is just a phantom world. Work should be only in the soul, only in the desire to unite! Only the various stages of our connection represent the material part of the spiritual world.

A Roadmap To The Creator

294.1Question: Any person can be justified. How can you justify the Creator?

Answer: You can justify the Creator only by rising to a certain spiritual level, even to the smallest. Then you will acquire “sight,” a feeling of the quality of bestowal from which you will see the whole universe. And before that, it is impossible.

Question: What question should I ask myself in order to move toward the goal correctly?

Answer: Do you ascertain at every moment that you are absolutely at the mercy of the upper force, the Creator? This is your landmark, your right direction.

An even more correct direction is through the group: each moment I should feel myself moving toward adhesion with the Creator together with the group.

How To Open My Heart

565.01Question: How can I open my heart?

Answer: You can open your heart only through the correct communication with the environment. There is no other way.

When you begin to communicate correctly with friends, try to be closer, and love them regardless of their external properties, which seem good or bad to you, then you will feel how much your attitude to the environment is determined only by your egoism.

It is a big job to rise above egoism in order to love your friends. This is what we are doing. To open your heart does not mean to open your egoism, but to open your desire toward others.

For now we should only think about how to rise above our heart, how to exit our egoism, and begin to feel everything that is happening above it.

Try to do it. The path lies only through the environment. Good luck!
