In Wars With Myself

514.02Moses personifies the property of mercy in us, the force that arises in a person and helps him realize his mandatory spiritual elevation.

And Joshua Ben Nun in us means the continuation of struggling with our egoism. But a person has already crossed to the other side and is more or less accustomed to the property of bestowal and love, agrees with it, and understands how to be connected with others.

He enters the battle, knows how to nullify egoism and use it. This is called that he develops the land of Israel. The earth (Eretz) means desire. Israel (Yashar-El) means directed toward the Creator. Therefore, Eretz Yisrael means desires directed toward the Creator.

Everything that the people of Moses have been preparing for, Joshua the conqueror is now practically teaching them.

Question: Did the formation of the soul as such take place in the land of Israel?

Answer: No, it was still in its infancy while leaving Egypt, receiving the Torah, traveling (preparing) for forty years in the desert, and now, when crossing the River Jordan.

Question: In principle, are we talking about the human soul?

Answer: Yes. These are egoistic properties that we must go through in this form, in wars with ourselves, each one of us and all of us together.

Reducing The Distance To Zero

610.1Overcoming means going against the emotional distance between me and the friends and the emotional distance between all of us together from the Creator. We need to overcome these two factors and reduce this distance to zero.

Of course, this will reveal new states (Reshimot), as if I increase the sensitivity by switching from the first level to the second one, then to the third one, and so on.

It is as if I first measure the distance in kilometers, then increase the accuracy and measure it in meters, in centimeters, in millimeters, etc. Each time, the sensitivity, the resolution, increases until I reach the goal. The distance between me and the friends and between all the friends and the Creator is increasingly reducing, and when it reaches zero, that is the final correction.

Advancement By Overcoming

242The spiritual path requires us to advance by overcoming. But what exactly do you need to overcome?—obstacles that the Creator positions in front of us every moment. And He does not want to obstruct us, but on the contrary, He helps like a parent helps a child who gives the child work in order to become stronger and smarter, to understand how this world works and use it for good.

So, we grow and develop like a child, and we see that everything is given to us only for the purpose of correction because this is the form of progress. With each overcoming, we advance and slightly close the huge gap that separates this world from the spiritual world.

“Love will cover all crimes.” If we attribute everything to the Creator, including our overcoming, we will move forward. Sometimes we are overwhelmed by fear and sometimes we are confused by the lack of understanding of the path and of ourselves. But we must understand that everything comes from the same source, from the Creator, and by relating everything to Him, I close the gap that separates me from Him and move forward.

The main thing is to reduce the distance between me and my friends because this is the most difficult and most genuine of all we have in this world. Therefore, by eliminating this distance, we will come to the revelation of the Creator.

Overcoming can be in everything. The main thing is to bring it to the Creator, to turn to Him for healing. I get up in the morning confused, not understanding anything, not remembering, not knowing what to do, in a complete fog. But I have already taught myself that everything comes from the Creator. It turns out that from the very morning I have been granted help from above, and with this help, I move forward.

It is said: “Each day they will be as new in your eyes,” that is, every day man is a new creation. It turns out that if today I cannot take anything from yesterday, as a new blank sheet, then this is good. I have to start all over again.

Everything that happens to us is an invitation to come closer to the Creator and thereby correct the state. First of all, it is necessary to relate everything to the Creator because there is nothing but one upper force. There can be a problem with health, in the family, in the world, no matter what, the main thing is to relate everything to the Creator, not in order to throw everything on Him and get rid of it, but because of the desire to get closer to the truth.

As it is sung in the song: “Let us get up tomorrow morning with a new song in our hearts,” with an even stronger connection between us, not just to continue from yesterday, but to examine the fact that maybe yesterday it was not so important for me, but today, I want to rise to a new degree, to a new state, to a new style of connection between us in the ten and with the Creator.

I don’t want to engage in what happened yesterday and look back like Lot’s wife who turned into a pillar of salt. I want to advance every day through overcoming.

Being Worthy Of The Land Of Israel

749.01Prophets, Joshua, Chapter 3:02–3:03: And it was at the end of three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp.

And they commanded the people, saying: When you see the Ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place and go after it.

Prophets, Joshua, Chapter 3:05: And Joshua said to the people; Prepare yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.

To prepare before a transition means to be purified from egoism, from all the properties, intentions, and thoughts that can still be for one’s own sake. A person needs to test himself and rise to such a level that one can estimate approximately what other doubts and obstacles there may possibly be.

Question: In principle, people have already approached the barrier, so the purification has already taken place. Do they still need to test themselves again and again?

Answer: But you do not stay in one place, you keep moving forward all the time.

Purification happens not for the past but for the future because you are now already accumulating the property of bestowal, Bina, with which you can advance.

The land of Israel is very cruel, very egoistic. It is not suitable for a simple person to exist in it. That is why it was empty for hundreds of years. Nothing grew on it. Only now, when the Jews came here, did it suddenly show that it can blossom and develop.

Question: Does the fact that it is developing externally mean something?

Answer: This only means that we can live here, but only if we behave in a way that is worthy of this land. Then it will bless us. And if not, we cannot exist here. It will vomit us out as before and we will have to leave it.

Notes, Colors, And Seven Sefirot

234Question: Is it possible to say that the seven musical notes correspond to the seven Sefirot?

Answer: Certainly, because otherwise nothing would have existed. There are ten Sefirot, and beginning from Bina and on, corresponding to them there are seven sounds that are constructed according to the same tendency, according to the same system.

They are all one and the same system of reconstruction, a new creation, a new perception. It is the same with the colors of the rainbow. It makes no difference whether they are notes or colors, everything is built according to the same structure of mutual cooperation between Zeir Anpin and Malchut.

Explore The “Land” Of Your Desires

740.03The Prophets, Joshua, Chapter 2:23-2:24: And the two men returned and descended from the mountain, and crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all that had happened to them. And they said to Joshua,—For the Lord has delivered into our hands all the land; and also the inhabitants of the country have melted away because of us.

In principle, it is already known in advance that the city will be taken, i.e., all the desires that are outside the city wall will eventually submit to the property of bestowal.

Question: Why was it necessary to send spies there to get evidence? After all, everything was clear already.

Answer: No. A person should move forward knowing where he is going and why he is doing it.

People should feel all their properties, which of them they can advance with, how much they should change their egoism, deal with each other, rise above the ego, connect together. Only in this way do they gain a new space, a new desire.

When they unite with each other, they must spread into more and more new desires until the property of bestowal and love will cover the entire globe.

In Contradiction With The Laws Of The Land Of Israel

747.01Question: The five books of the Torah tell the story before entering the land of Israel, does this mean they only talk about rising above egoism and not about working on it itself? Is it about the law “Do not do unto others what you would not like others to do unto yourself”?

Answer: Yes. There was no question of love here because it can only be in the Land of Israel—”Eretz Yisrael.” “Eretz” is desire (Ratzon), “Yisra El“—directly to the Creator.

Therefore, the law “Do not do unto others what you would not like others to do unto you” was passed by the people together with Moses before entering Israel.

There are a lot of laws that we need to accept in order to be in the correct interaction with each other. And there are laws that you need to start following when you enter the land of Israel. But now we are not even in non-fulfillment, but in complete contradiction with the laws of the land of Israel.

Question: Why is the spring compressed so that we do not even follow the elementary laws?

Answer: In order for us to realize that we are in the state opposite to what we want.

At The Beginning Of Development Of Egoism

41.01Question: The story about Abraham in Genesis begins with the fact that in Ancient Babylon, people lived as one nation and spoke the same language. Nobody ruled over others. How can this be? After all, before that, tens of thousands of different tribes fought with each other.

Answer: There was a period in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and the Euphrates, when there were no contradictions in the place where the Babylonians lived because everything was in abundance. There were fish in the rivers, the fertile land yielded a good harvest, and people did not need anything. They did not even envy each other and were not competitive.

Everything was very good. Nobody ruled over the others, everyone was equal. People lived in a calm, as if preserved state. This indicates a zero (root) degree of egoism. At that time, it was just beginning to develop in humanity.

In principle, we are considering ancient Babylon as the initial state of humanity when people did not yet feel egoism, greed, envy, and so on within themselves.

The root degree is dead egoism. It does not need more than it has. It represents the initial animalistic state of humanity.

Humanity Is One Single Soul

933Question: What is the entrance to the land of Israel within us?

Answer: Man is the common creation, Adam. We are all part of his soul. This is a collective spiritual image, which in itself does not consist of separate beings as we humans usually see ourselves.

It represents the totality of all our properties, especially spiritual ones. In principle, everything that is in each of us constitutes, so to speak, a spiritual figure called “Adam.”

Naturally, from generation to generation, all parts of this figure, or rather its individual properties, gradually undergo their corrections in the similarity to the Creator.

And when this similarity is fully completed, then the state of complete correction will come and the Creator will appear and fill the image of Adam, our common soul, which will gather in this state, starting from our world, from the earthly level, to the highest one, including all worlds.

This soul will stand in all worlds, but not in the corporeal sense. It will include the filling of all worlds, meaning it will come to the state of complete correction (Gmar Tikkun).

We are currently starting to enter the last part of this state. Therefore, our generation is called the last generation, which corrects the shattering of the common soul that occurred before us and that underlies our existence as individuals.

We must internally unite with each other as one man with one heart, as many billions of souls into one soul, into one spiritual structure.

Why Do We Need The Torah?

275Question: At what point do we begin to pass the spiritual instruction, the Torah, through ourselves ?

Answer: The Torah is the system of correct interaction of all parts of creation (inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human) and brings them to a certain mutual connection. That is, the Torah is the implementation of the correction of the system of interaction between broken parts of creation, broken desires, broken souls.

Question: Do I begin to study the Torah the moment the desire to get out of the broken state to the state of unity awakens in me?

Answer: Yes, and before that there is absolutely no need for it. For many thousands of years mankind has existed in such a state where the Torah was completely unnecessary and to this day many do not need it.

The period from receiving the Torah to entering the land of Israel is a period of unconscious correction, like a child who first crawls on all fours and then learns to walk, all mankind learned to eat, drink, build, and develop.

The egoistic desire that exists in an individual naturally, automatically moves him, and he does not need any Torah, a system of artificial knowledge and actions, since he will receive either reward or punishment directly from nature in response to his actions. They will teach him in such a simple and concise way.

But when we come to the state that we must consciously come into contact with the laws of nature, then we need to know them in order to fulfill them consciously. We begin to feel that if we do them selfishly, as before, then we will suffer greatly from this.

In our time, humanity is revealing its depravity, which can lead us to such suffering where we just eat each other. That is why the Torah is revealed.
