The Magic Wand—Contact With The Creator

65You can open The Book of Zohar on any page and find practically the same things as on the other pages. It always speaks about one thing: how to make contact with the Creator. In our world we have no other problem but to connect with this single governing upper force.

If I am in contact with the Creator, it means that I know why everything is happening to me, who I am, what my states will be in the future. I am Wolf Messing for myself. It is as if I had a magic wand or a Golden Fish [from “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish”].

If I have contact with the Creator, I have everything: knowledge, feelings, the present, and the future. No adventures, no suffering—everything is in my hands.

Everything Is Perceived In Feelings

962.2The Creator is a quality of the upper world. His main characteristic is the quality of bestowal.

We cannot say who He is or what He is. We only speak about the way we perceive Him. To the extent that I begin to feel the quality of bestowal, I begin to attain the Creator.

In the same way, I cannot say anything about a table, for example. I can say that it appears to me in my feelings as such and such. The same is true about the Creator.

Therefore, the Creator is called Bo-Reh. Bo, come, that is, somehow change yourself, and Reh, see. Bo-Reh, come and see. In other words, everything is perceived precisely in our feelings.

The wisdom of Kabbalah works in such a way that it forms within us the quality of bestowal, and to the extent that a person already feels it within himself, he begins to feel the Creator. He has new tools, the so-called Kelim, vessels, with which he feels the Creator and the upper world.

Different Levels Of Desire

631.3Question: Sometimes you say that the people of Israel is an intention straight to the Creator and sometimes that it is a desire to give.

This is also how we call the Temple that was built in Jerusalem, Beit HaMikdash, that is, a vessel of holiness, the desire to bestow. Are they all different levels of desire?

Answer: These are different levels of either the desire to receive or the desire to bestow.

Question: What is the difference, for example, between the desire to bestow, which is represented by the Temple, and the one, which is represented by the land of Israel?

Answer: These are different levels of desire. Just as you have all kinds of desires for something bad or good, it does not matter, but they are on different levels, so is this. Only the desires to bestow include the correct attitude to all five levels of nature: inanimate, vegetative, animate, man, and the Creator.

When Good And Evil Merge Together

624.04Question: What is this commandment to drink wine on Purim to such a state that you do not distinguish Haman the robber from the pure quality of Mordechai?

Answer: At the end of correction we get so much light (symbolized by wine) that we are not able to determine where the evil is and where the good is because there is no longer any difference between them. They are combined into one single attainment of the upper root from which both plus and minus emanate. There is practically nothing there, only a kind attitude toward us.

A person acquires the ability to see all kinds of evil and good events as one. Even today Kabbalah advises us to treat everything in the same way: There is only “The Good Who does good” in everything, “There is None Else Besides Him.”

When we treat everything as good coming from the Creator, then we move closer to Him every time.

Question: A person who reaches the state of correction can internally justify anything, even the most terrible incidents?

Answer: He must justify them because it all comes from the Creator, and there is nothing that does not come from Him. And He is absolute kindness.

If we do not understand this and cannot justify it, then this only means our lack of correction.

Together Is Strength

935If we want to please the Creator, we feel that we are facing a blank wall. This barrier becomes unbearable to us, and we try to break through it.

But it cannot be broken simply by force, but only through our connection. Here we will have to change our approach to the spiritual. After all, the spiritual is based only on the connection between us because the common soul, Adam HaRishon, has been shattered, and it must be corrected.

Therefore, each of us is not required to be strong; we need to be strong in our connection.

“He Who Comes To Kill You”

522.01Question: It is said in the Torah: “He who comes to kill you, kill him first.” What does this mean in our inner work?

Answer: If there is a program in nature for achieving love, connection, and someone stands up against it, then you must destroy him. We have a clear program for correcting the world, bringing everyone closer together, and if anyone is against it, wage war with him.

Question: It turns out that any of our spiritual forces must somehow manifest themselves in the matter of our world. In other words, if I did not manage to correct some part of my egoism and it has already started to manifest itself in the form of an external enemy that attacks me in the material world, then there is a clear law: I must fight with him.

Why is internal war alone not enough?

Answer: But you cannot deal with it, so you make up for it with an external battle. Moreover, an external war must be much stronger and fiercer than an internal one because you must somehow correct your properties.

Question: What if I am only waging an external war without an internal one?

Answer: It will accomplish nothing. Wars can go on for hundreds, thousands of years and will be of no use. Moreover, I must say that all the wars that are waged in the world can be considered Jewish.

Why Didn’t Moses Enter The Land Of Israel?

740.02The Torah, Deuteronomy, 34:04-34:06: And the Lord said to him, “This is the Land I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”

And Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there, in the land of Moab, by the mouth of the Lord.

And He buried him in the valley, in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Pe’or. And no person knows the place of his burial, unto this day.

Question: Why is it that Moses did not enter the land of Israel? Why, after so much suffering and so much work, was he not allowed to enter?

Answer: Moses could not enter the land of Israel because the last condition, the final correction of people, had not yet been fulfilled. Therefore, he had no right to be at the level of Eretz Israel.

“Eretz,” from the word “Ratzon,” is the desire that is fully aimed at the Creator and is in conjunction, in connection, in bestowal, and in adhesion with Him. There is no such a state yet.

It can only be in the very last generation and, as it is written in the sources, we are the beginning of it. Thus, in the time of Moses, if we speak from a historical point of view, this could not have happened.

Where Does The Creator Manifest?

528.03Question: Is there such a thing as fear that you will not be able to please your friends, you will not be able to be a guarantor for them, within a group of like-minded people?

Answer: These are good types of fear, very advanced and serious. You can’t do without it.

Question: In general, is there any fear directly in relation to the Creator? Or does it only go through people all the time?

Answer: What is formed between the friends in the Kabbalistic group and then correlates to the totality of what they feel inside themselves is called “the Creator.”

Question: In other words, I can’t express any feelings about the Creator directly? It must pass only through the group, through the society?

Answer: Yes. Because there is no Creator. It is what you reveal to each other.

If you do, He will be there for you. If you don’t reveal it, He’s not there for you. You must form this image. Therefore, it is forbidden to portray something because such an image does not exist! It is a property, it is a power. Besides, you won’t be able to portray the force in any way.

You begin to form it yourself from your mutual actions. It will be called the Creator. Therefore it is said, “As though you have made Me.”

Comment: But still, even if a person does not feel the Creator, he sees that someone created this world, that there is some program, there is some higher power, a higher mind.

My Response: But this upper force is elusive. In relation to what will a person see it?

Comment: Yes, but it exists.

My Response: Sure. But it manifests itself!

It is one thing that it exists and another thing to reveal itself in relation to us. It is revealed to us to the extent that we reveal it. And we reveal it only in the measure of similarity. And in order to achieve its similarity, we must relate to each other correctly.

Question: For example, there are electromagnetic waves around us. And to feel them, I have to tune in to the same frequency of the wave.

It is the same with the Creator. There is an absolute, a higher intelligence. But in order for it to manifest itself, I must create an appropriate relationship in a group of like-minded people. That is, I should study its properties and try to manifest these properties within the group?

Answer: The Kabbalists tell you about this.

And if you have a feeling that you can’t do it or that you are not doing enough to make the Creator manifest, this is called awe.

Material Events And Spiritual Roots

937Comment: The great Kabbalist ARI wrote that in the future all holidays will be canceled except for Purim.

My Response: All holidays speak of intermediate spiritual states on the path of correction from pure egoism to complete altruism, full of love, and therefore the last state will not be canceled. This is Purim.

Question: How did people write the “Scroll of Esther”?

Answer: They were in this state spiritually.

Comment: But the scroll is written like a children’s story.

My Response: It only seems to us that way.

Question: It is clear that there is some depth but if you look at it with simple eyes, it says that the feast lasted a hundred and eighty days. How can this be?

Answer: Why not? They did not sit at the table all day. The leaders of all subordinate states gathered, discussed together, studied something, watched dances, went hunting, and dined. This is all called a feast.

Behind all this, there are spiritual states, that is why they described it.

Question: Did they take the events of our world as a basis?

Answer: Yes. The fact is that any event in our world has its root in the spiritual world. Thus, when describing special events, they pointed to their roots. They still do today.Therefore, we know that this is how it happened, and this is how it should be.

In The Name Of Connection

959Question: It is said that all wars for connection are fought for us by the Creator, the upper force of nature. How does it work?

Answer: Indeed, we have no strength. There is only the desire for this to happen. To the extent that we want to rise above our egoistic nature and connect with each other, we awaken the upper force of nature, which performs these actions and connects the opposing forces into one positive force. This is how it works.

Comment: Wars stimulate technological progress, but they do not contribute to the internal development of people.

My Response: They extend the time for our advancement. Progress only delays us at the corporeal level and does not allow us to rise to the spiritual level.

Question: What is “holy war”?

Answer: The holy war is a war in the name of connection, for the sake of the triumph of love between people.

Question: Should a Kabbalist justify world wars?

Answer: One cannot justify a war itself, but its purpose if it is necessary and comes from within nature, then yes.
