By The Will Of The Creator

49.03Question: Does a person act according to his own will or to the will of the Creator?

Answer: A person always acts according to the will of the Creator! He has no freewill of his own. The only matter is to get rid of the illusion that we supposedly have free actions and that we act on our own. No, we all perform the actions of the Creator. Absolutely!

If we agree with this, we are in the right mutual connection and this leads us to the revelation of the Creator. To the extent that you want to do what He tells you, you do it. It is advisable not to prevent your actions and desires from meeting His desires. If you go against it, then you feel bad. All our sufferings and problems are only because we are doing His will unwillingly and unconsciously.

Baal HaSulam says a lot about this. Starting with the first article in Shamati, he immediately writes that there is no one else besides Him, that is, there is no other power besides the power of the Creator. The fact that it seems to a person that he has his own power, his own strength, is only from the fact that he is in concealment.

We must remove this concealment from ourselves. It is removed to the extent that I want to do what the Creator sends me. If I agree to implement all His control signals, then I reveal what I was in before but did not want to understand.

Thus, in our actions, we can never contradict the Creator in anything, but in thoughts and in intentions, we can. Therefore, all we have to do is correct the intention.

A Ten As A Single Individual

528.01Question: How can we unite different tens together to achieve the practical goal of connecting them all?

Answer: I would let every ten work on its own for now. You should feel your ten as a unit in which there are no separate personalities, but has its own personality manifested through the unity of ten people. Then the light will begin to be revealed in you, that is, the common quality of bestowal, the quality of love. This is the Creator!

You will see how the feeling of an upper state above our world, a system of governing forces will begin to manifest. That is, you will begin to rise to the next degree.

Later, to rise to an even higher level, you will need another ten by your side. So gradually, you will be climbing up the pyramid.

At the same time you will feel that you need to engage in dissemination so that behind you there would be other such tens connected to other tens. But this is only after you have reached the connection between you.

The Secret Of Happiness For A Kabbalist

293.1Question: What is your secret of happiness?

Answer: My secret of happiness is to be in balance with the world—to feel that I am not interfering with the world, I am not interfering with people, I am trying to be an organic part so that people receive from me the right example of how to interact with each other and with the world.

I want to believe that I am telling people about this all the time.

Question: Do you consider yourself a happy person?

Answer: Yes. But this does not mean that I have already exhausted everything. I still have to achieve some big goals. And this makes it interesting and good.

Transcending To The Next World

939.01Question: Why am I so attracted to your talks and lectures?

Answer: Because you hear about yourself, about your soul, about the way you can attain a whole eternal state, where life and death of your body have no effect on you, and where you will begin to feel that life is infinite and flows in a totally different manner than what you imagine today.

If we begin to gather, we will feel the transition to the next state, to the upper world, in the connection between us, because it is in the center of our mutual cooperation.

Just as astronomers say that there is a transition from one state to another in space, it is the same here. It is a unique transition, a transition from our world and an entrance to the next world.

Changing Life For The Better

571.08Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World“: We must know that the above-mentioned law of development, which is spread over the whole of reality, is certain to reform all evil to good and useful, and acts through the power of the government of heaven above, meaning without asking permission from the people, dwellers of the earth. However, the Creator placed knowledge and authority in the hands of man and permitted him to accept the above-mentioned law of development under his own authority and government, and handed him the ability to hasten the process of development as he wishes, freely and completely independent of the boundaries of time.

There is an active inevitable law of nature in time. Everything is arranged according to a timetable and there is time for each and every event. We cannot change anything and we act according to this timetable with the same developing force that tirelessly leads us through all the phases of our development.

It is a rigid system of nature. This is how it operates and we cannot escape it; we are bound to it, like tiny insects that must act according to it. Yet, although this development is necessary and takes place accurately and on time, there is a way to hasten and to improve it, and this depends on us.

We develop according to the plan in any case, like a train that moves from one point to another and must reach its destination. We can hasten our arrival at the last station and feel much better during our journey than if we participate in the process unconsciously and move and change not knowingly. Of course, we would perceive the final phase differently.

We would attain it and reach the same outcome anyway, but we would go through all kinds of conflicts along the way, we would fall and rise, quarrel and undergo disasters in every aspect of our lives. But it can also be the opposite way, by acting comfortably and feeling that we are led through this whole way like in a dining car.

On the whole, the wisdom of Kabbalah provides us with only one solution. If you want to advance no matter how, you can leave everything and not hear anything, return to your life and carry on together with everyone else, in unity with the whole globe, as long as it revolves.

But if you want to change your life for the better, while advancing toward the attainment of the goal of creation in which your place has already been determined, where everything has already been determined, and advance toward it consciously, wisely and quickly, you can do it with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

That makes all the difference! This is our choice.

Tens—The Structure Of A Kabbalistic Organization

938.02Question: The very process of your teaching has led to the creation of the current structure of your organization, division into tens. Has the effect of self-arrangement of living matter in the form of people worked here and produced such a fairly clear structure?

Answer: It is written in Kabbalah that one must study in tens. It is desirable that there are ten people in the group. And then tens will gather in hundreds, in thousands, and so on. I am personally not involved in this, I just teach people. But they all clearly feel their unity.

Question: So they are already organizing themselves and you do not participate in it?

Answer: Yes. They monitor and strictly observe this. For them, being in a group of ten people is a sacred duty. Because this is the only way they can support each other.

The Attack Of Egoism

600.02Prophets, Joshua 11:06: And the Lord said to Joshua, “Be not afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall cripple their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

Question: If on the way to spirituality (to the Land of Israel) we are persecuted and attacked by egoistic desires, what does it mean that they are on horses and chariots?

Answer: This means that egoism with all its strength and with all its potential opposes connection and work in bestowal and love. There is a very difficult struggle ahead that cannot be overcome at once. There is a weakening of the people of Israel and they begin to moan.

But it is impossible without a fight. We also need to fight to identify our own negative qualities, not only external but also internal. This is how the people of Israel will move forward.

Horses and chariots symbolize all kinds of egoistic tools that seduce people and show them how sweet it is to live in egoistic desires and be bound together by egoistic competition.

In other words, it is the attack of the egoistic desire that greatly attracts a person.

Patience On The Spiritual Path

565.02Question: Is it important for a person walking on the spiritual path to be able to wait?

Answer: Yes and no. Waiting, patience, is, of course, a useful property. But at the same time, I must set clear goals for myself and try to achieve them, and not hang around between heaven and earth for an unknown period of time.

Question: What does it mean to be patient, in the right way?

Answer: If a teacher tells me or I read in Kabbalistic books that we should go this way and constantly try to rise above ourselves in this way, then I must do it, even if I fail. Because failures are also part of the image of searching and finding.

Question: Sometimes it happens that in the process of patient work, a person develops a feeling of anticipation. How important is this feeling: “I endure, but I look forward to achieving the goal”?

Answer: This is given to a person from above on purpose in certain cases. I would not think that it is so important.

There are many different properties and sensations when a person receives some signs. But I do not think that it is necessary to be guided by them and to pay attention to them. Just look at it as incidental definitions.

Is It Worthwhile Awakening The Point In The Heart In A Family?

626Question: How can we help awaken an inactive point in the heart in the family?

Answer: First, we should not require that our partners learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, no way!

Regarding this topic, there is an absolute and precise prohibition. There is no coercion in spirituality. If a partner wants to learn, then please. If the partner doesn’t want to learn, it is not necessary.

Together with this, it is necessary to encourage them with this in every way possible. And certainly, if husband and wife study together, this will bring them very close and will produce a very good connection. So, I recommend this to everyone.

Spiritual Miracle

232.08Question: You often say in your lectures that the process of intrauterine development is a miracle. Explain why is it a miracle?

Answer: Because it is a combination of two absolutely impossible parameters: the property of reception and the property of bestowal. Moreover, bestowal and love prevail over reception and a new life emerges.

This process in nature is very complex, special, and one might even say unnatural. The development itself is natural, but here we do not have a development, but a combination of opposites one inside the other. Therefore, it is a miracle.

Question: In corporeality, I understand why it is a miracle: a foreign body develops in the mother’s body and it is not rejected. And what is a spiritual miracle?

Answer: It is the same in spirituality. In principle, the emergence of one organism in another occurs against the background of rejection. A person must go through this, must want to accept the property of bestowal in spite of his egoism and nullify himself.

Altruistic properties arise in him when he does not think about himself, does not make any calculations about himself. This is called a miracle.
