The Mystery Of The Unification Of The Masculine And Feminine, Part 9

631.2Connecting in Order to Attain the Creator

Question: If a family is the beastly level, what relations can we build between a man and a woman on the spiritual level?

Answer: This will already be a different family. People will begin to live not just in order to have children, to supply their basic needs, and to plant a tree. In fact, they will unite between them according to the spiritual principle.

This is the meaning of the unity between a man and a woman. It is as is said in the Torah, “A man and a woman, Shechina between them.”

Question: What should they do so that the Creator will be revealed?

Answer: They should connect on all levels, on the corporeal level, internally, mentally, and psychologically so that it will be for the sake of attaining the Creator.

The Value Of The Book Of Zohar

531.01There is no other book besides The Book of Zohar that performs spiritual work on us. It takes us from the corporeal level to the spiritual level; it shows us its projection as if the upper world is getting revealed through our world illuminated by a powerful projector.

The Book of Zohar illustrates the difference between our world and the upper world. On one hand, as in the Torah, it gives us a picture of our world, and in parallel, describes the next, spiritual level, the world of forces, the world of qualities.

By shining through and superimposing the picture of our world on the spiritual world, you understand their correlation and what is really happening. In this way, you develop new qualities in yourself. It is when the root and its branch, that is, the spiritual world and our world, overlap each other and become one.

You enter both worlds simultaneously with your feelings, your attainments, with your entire life, and you break away from earthly limitations, even to the point that when your body dies, you continue to exist because your animalistic body no longer has anything to do with spirituality.

This is what a person should achieve. The most important point that Kabbalah gives us is to exit the animalistic degree, rise above the point of death, and reach the spiritual degree, which is infinite and everlasting, while in this life.

The Commandment “Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Wife”

962.3The Tenth Commandment says: “And you shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.” This means that you must reach a state where you change the initially egoistic desire into an altruistic one, fully achieve the property of bestowal called “receiving for the sake of bestowal,” and all of this huge infinite desire becomes “your wife.”

To desire “your neighbor’s wife” means to receive for your own sake. If you are directed at the Creator, then any desires that are not directed at Him are forbidden for you.

This commandment corresponds to the act of creation: “It is not good for a man to be alone.” If you want to reach the Creator, you cannot be alone. You must connect all the great desire, which is called feminine, to yourself, to the property of “Adam.” And only by combining the screen with the desire do you fully become like the Creator.

This is what it says: “Husband and wife, and the Creator between them.” This is the state when these two opposite qualities are combined and the Creator fills the vessel of the soul.

As for our world, we must abandon any hope that something right will happen in it if we do not start to change spiritually. Then other signals will come down to our world from above and make it better. But only as a result of spiritual correction! No other way!

We see how for thousands of years we have tried to do something good here but in the end we only destroy the world. Humanity is so lost, confused, and exhausted that it does not know what to do.

I look at the leaders of the world. They want to achieve something, they constantly plot behind the scenes, but in fact they are confused like small children who are lost and are about to cry. That’s how we are in this world today. Therefore, the science of Kabbalah is now spreading. If we reveal the Ten Commandments for ourselves, we will find ourselves eternal, perfect, and equal to the Creator, and then we will see that everything we have gone through was for our benefit.

“Let The Earth Produce Living Creatures According To Their Kind”

962.2Comment: It is said in The Book of Zohar that the commandment “You shall not commit adultery” corresponds to the act of creation: “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their kind, so that a woman does not produce offspring unless it is a continuation of the family. And who is her family? It is her husband.”

Answer: Both The Book of Zohar and all of Kabbalah have nothing to do with our world and do not affect any actions in it. Everything we do on the material (animate) level has nothing to do with spirituality. This is repeatedly stated in Kabbalah.

It explains what we should do inside our souls, which means within our soul to “cheat on your spouse with someone or not.”

A person must constantly care to see and feel the world through the right desire called his wife. And only through the point of contact between the screen and Malchut, through the common male and female desires that are in the soul, should one relate to the Creator.

Only through a corrected desire! This is called his “spouse,” his “wife,” “betrothed,” “bride,” etc…

An uncorrected desire is called a “stranger,” not one you can connect with or advance toward the Creator. Only this is meant because we always talk about a single common soul and not about the fact that you are cheating on someone somewhere.

In addition, throughout history, in various epochs, one man could have had up to a thousand wives. Therefore, what is written in The Book of Zohar is completely irrelevant to our lives.

When it is said: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,” it means that the male part of my soul should take only that corrected female part of my soul that it can connect with in order to make common acts of bestowal. Thus, the next level will appear, the so-called “children,” the next generation.

Question: So the right desire is the wife?

Answer: Yes. A wife for a person in our world is really something that accompanies his spiritual growth. And if not, then even if she is his legal wife, the truth is that this union is not acknowledged in the universe.

Question: Why did it happen that she still became his wife?

Answer: To answer this, you need to analyze the origins and roots of the souls and their reincarnations.

Question: That is, such states are still necessary in order to find the right desires, that is, the right wife?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What kind of animals are these: “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their kind?”

Answer: When you begin to properly connect with your inner, corrected desire called “your wife,” you give birth to the next degree—children.

The Purpose Of Generational Change

294.4Question: What is the purpose of generational change from the point of view of the work on correcting egoism?

Answer: The purpose of generational change is to divide this huge burden into small parts between many people. This is written in The Book of Zohar. It tells a parable about how a great king who decided to move his capital from one place to another. But how to transport the royal treasury? He could not leave it to one man or an army to do it in case they were attacked.

Then he decided that he would give each of his many subjects one coin. Everyone would bring him this coin back because it is not worth it for a person to abuse the trust of the king and tarnish himself because of one small coin. Thus, his subjects moved the huge treasury to a new place, to a new capital.

This is how The Zohar speaks metaphorically about why we divide all the work between many billions of people, like a line that moves forward from generation to generation all the time. That is how we work.

Then the enormous work that we have to do is not so terrifying. Of course, it is difficult for each person, but it is surmountable. However, if we imagined that we could overcome all the egoism created by the Creator, rise above it, and connect with the upper force at its true spiritual degree, then each of us simply could not do it alone.

546.02Between Plus and Minus

Question: To what extent can we measure the male and the female elements according to our advancement in the spiritual world? Can the differences be eliminated a little?

Answer: No. None of the differences between us can be eliminated. They will be increasingly more prominent and become increasingly more polarized. But to the extent that they draw further away from each other, we will be able to analyze them correctly, to compare and to examine them correctly, and to integrate a greater load between them.

Imagine there is a plus and a minus and there is an engine between them. If there are 5 volts between them, it is a small engine. But if there are 500 volts between them it is already a powerful engine. So we need to understand that the voltage between the male part and the female part in humanity will continue to grow.

Women will demand what they deserve more and more, and they will be just, whereas men will try to escape responsibility like kids, and will thus be wrong. But nature will eventually obligate us to use each other correctly so that we will activate an optimal load between us, and the engine of the creation will begin to operate on us and on all of humanity correctly.

So don’t think that we will get closer to each other. We will actually move toward even greater stratification and divisiveness.

Today we no longer see that women rebel and demand equal rights at work, although this has not been achieved yet, and at the moment there are only a few representatives of women at meetings, in the government, etc., soon we will not only give in to them, but we will allow them equal opportunities.

Because we will begin to understand nature, we will recognize that there cannot be plus without minus or minus without plus. So we must constantly aspire for balance between the male part and the female part, not only physically, at work places, but in every sense in general.

Soon you will see women in professions where there have never been any female representatives. Women will begin to adapt to these professions and will manage just as well as men do. We must not look back.

We simply need to understand that this is the direction of our motion. So let’s prepare for it. We simply need to offer equal opportunities. The main thing is to find the right mutual cooperation from the perspective of nature: which load and which engine can we activate between us so that it will operate correctly, so that I can be in contact with a woman without causing a short circuit, so that there will not be an explosion between the plus and the minus.

The right mutual cooperation should be under the beneficial load. We still have to learn that. How? Which beneficial load can there be here? It may be too much, but the only load there can be is the revelation of the Creator, His attainment. When a man and woman work together correctly, they begin to attain the Creator between them. This is what the principle of our development, our source, and its cause come down to.

People who understand where all this is headed should be happy about the big steps that we are making and about the fact that we are beginning to reveal the need for the participation of women in every aspect of life. This is actually necessary only in order to begin to adapt to the spiritual space.

Just as the Creator has created us by the descent from the top down, in the connection between us, in the ascent, we build Him, we define Him between us. We will not feel Him any other way.

What Determines The Existence Of The World?

283.02Zohar for All, VaYetze, item 14: Although these seven holy Havalim are the sustenance of the world, opposite them are seven Havalim from which all the Dinim [judgments] in the world come out.

There are seven original desires in each of us. They do not change.

If we use them for our own sake, they turn into the judgments directed at us. If we use them for the sake of bestowal, for connection with others, then they turn into blessings.

By connecting with each other in this way through our desires, we form a common body that begins to exchange energy, information, and vitality within itself and comes to life. To the extent of our connection, from inanimate stones we turn into vegetative, animate, and even human matter.

Therefore, the seven pillars (desires) can be negative, as today in our world we are driving ourselves into the ground by using them only for our own sake, thereby killing everything around us: both ourselves and the surrounding nature. Yet, we can turn this into a blessing.

Everything depends not on how we use what is around us, but on how we use ourselves. Our attitude to each other and to the surrounding nature determines everything. Therefore, it is written “Hevel Havalim (Vanity of vanities) are the sustenance of the world.” “Vanity of vanities” is my attitude to others. If I direct it incorrectly, it actually turns into evil and judgment.

Understand The Whole Plan Of The Creator

237Question: Why was it necessary to shatter the common soul?

Answer: In order to understand what the Creator means.

Let us say you take a beautiful statue or something magnificent, an amazing work of nature, and break it into small pieces. You break the perfection, which is like the Creator. This is how Adam was created.

The Creator Himself takes and breaks His beloved, His only work, into billions of pieces. Why? How? If someone saw it from the side…! We do not understand why He created the world so evil, so dreadful. He created man so terrible, so low. The great, perfect, eternal Creator created something completely opposite to Himself, and yet enjoys that we are suffering here?!

How can this be? I would not wish this state we exist which in on any enemy: this flawed, petty, humiliated, state constantly in pursuit of somehow trying to fulfill ourselves. This is a terrible condition! If we are talking about the eternal and perfect Creator, the power that can do anything, He suddenly created such a thing?!

This is because we see ourselves in this broken state and do not understand that it is best. If we begin to gradually assemble ourselves from it, we will collect ourselves into the similarity of the Creator. Moreover, from this work, we will understand who the Creator is.

We will begin to understand the whole plan of the Creator: why He decided to reduce Himself to the level most opposite from the initial perfection and give us the opportunity to gradually create this perfection from ourselves?

People who want to rise to the level of the Creator wonder about the meaning of life, about the meaning of suffering: “What are they for? What is the meaning of our life? What is it about and what is its purpose?”

When these urgent questions arise in them and life is no longer smiling at them, they must find an answer to it. They feel that everything else has no flavor and all that is left to do is to plunge into drugs, alcohol, or whatever just to forget about this monotony. So, such people are shown from above that there is a method of achieving perfection, which is called the science of Kabbalah.

This method has been hidden for many thousands of years. The Book of Zohar, written two thousand years ago, says that it will be revealed in two thousand years, when we mature to realize that our world and our existence are flawed, we can do nothing with ourselves, and we face total despair.

That is when this Book will find a person and say: “Are you sure you are throwing up your hands in frustration? Then I Will show you the way.”

What Is The Expression Of True Freedom?

744Question: What is the true freedom of a person expressed in?

Answer: In rising above one’s egoistic nature.

When you rise above egoism, you begin to feel everything that is beyond the ego, meaning, beyond you, beyond what you are feeling now—after all, both you and your current universe are imprinted in your egoism—all this completely disappears and is replaced with an entirely different picture of the world.

Attainment: From A Discrete To An Analog Picture

962.3Question: Reality is not what appears to us outside of us but what is inside us. It turns out that reality is a fraction of our consciousness?

Answer: Yes. Everything that is inside us, in our consciousness, in our comprehension—this is reality.

Gradually, we begin to feel what can be outside of this reality: the upper, absolutely amorphous light.

But we do not attain it because it is not calibrated in any way. After all, we are not moving in an analog system but in a discrete one, and we must understand everything upon the difference between this and that, this and that.

This means, we are obliged to graduate everything, integrate it within us, and then make an analog picture from an abstract one. But it should still be composed of pixels.
