Hebrew Is A Multi Layered Code

526Hebrew is the language of the spiritual worlds, of the spiritual forces that manage our world. Hebrew is a multi layered code. It can be a representation of certain forces and their compatibility with each other, it can be a representation of intonations in the language, an emotional code, or an emotional record.

In addition, in Hebrew there is TANTA: Taamim (flavors), Nekudot (points), Tagin (crowns), Otiot (letters), and each of these components is seemingly a door to an enormous world.

For example, when we enter the world of sounds through Taamim, it opens through the five parts of the mouth, the five parts of the lungs: dental, palatal, guttural, labial, and lingual letters.

And all this must be written down.

In principle, if you do not know what “man” is and you are given the correct letter image, then you can use it to sculpt him from atoms.

Question: Suppose a musician looks at musical notes, he sings them internally and the music is playing inside him. And what does a person who looks at letters and words in Hebrew feel internally?

Answer: Divine revelation is felt. If man can reproduce inside what he sees even in a written text, and he penetrates inside through each symbol, then a new creation is revealed to him in a new way from each angle. He sees the integration of worlds.

Question: Why do you call Hebrew a universal language and not Jewish?

Answer: Because it is about forces that impact our world and arrange it. Their mutual combination must be somehow expressed, reproduced, and conveyed. This is the reason for the multilayered writing: horizontal and vertical lines, dots and connections.

It is similar to how children are taught. But in fact, it is much more complicated internally. For example, what does a dot mean? It is a manifestation of the property of reception in the infinite light of the Creator, the attribute of bestowal.

The horizontal line from left to right or from right to left symbolizes the light of Hassadim. The vertical line from top down or from the bottom up symbolizes the light of Hochma. Each letter symbolizes a specific world.

You Are Not The Master Of The World

632.3Comment: The Tenth Commandment: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, his manservant, his maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor…” and so on, repeats the essence of the previous commandments?

My Response: It is as if everything comes together here. That is, you must clearly understand that you are not the master of the world, you have nothing of your own. Everything you have is not really yours, so you cannot want anything.

All in all, work with your desires only for bestowal. If you come to this, then you will become a human being.

Question: Does this mean not only not to use different types of desires of your neighbor, but, on the contrary, to fill them, and then you will become like the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What can you fill your neighbor’s desires with?

Answer: With what the neighbor desires.

Question: But he wants different things. How can I fill his desires?

Answer: Of course you cannot. Help him in general, direct him to the Creator.

The World Is All That I Feel

910The Book of Zohar, “YaYera, Item 114: “When Adam HaRishon sinned, he sinned with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, as it is written, ‘but of the tree of the knowledge.’ And he sinned in it and caused death to the whole world.”

The world is everything I feel. When, on a spiritual level, I started to use my egoism, then immediately my world, all my sensations were reduced from the huge, higher, immense, eternal, perfect state in which I was to a small, flawed, egoistic, dim, temporary world, which quickly ends with my death.

This is exactly what happened in the sensations of people who fell from the spiritual level to the corporeal one.

I feel the whole world inside me. Everything that enters my senses is formed, added up, integrated within me, and is given to me as a picture of my universe, my world, what I absorb into myself.

If however, spiritual sensory organs are formed in me and they are practically immense, then I seem to get out of myself, out of my limitations, and I start to perceive nature in its eternal perfection.

What Should We Do When We Feel Emptiness?

216.04Question: When I feel bad I feel emptiness. What is the best thing to do in this situation according to the wisdom of Kabbalah? Should I change myself, change my thoughts, start reading something, listen to something, or think that it is from the Creator?

Answer: When I feel bad, first of all, I begin to read the article “There is None Else Besides Him” from the book Shamati. Then I read from the Book of Psalms or listen to my favorite lessons. Overall, there are many articles and excerpts that can help us in difficult moments.

But the best thing to do, if you can, is to immediately delve into the group, to connect to it, or to find some interesting lesson to listen to. In the past, when there were no computers, I used to write down parts of the lesson that I found interesting, but today you can just collect them on your computer or on your mobile phone. Press a button and read a quote or listen to part of the lesson and the bad mood you are in will immediately disappear without a trace.

Question: Does this mean that you have built a safety zone in advance?

Answer: Of course. If I know in advance that I will feel bad, I must make sure that I will be secure, just as we purchase insurance in our world, like health insurance, etc. I must do that, and then I seemingly make all the unpleasant events pass very quickly.

To Be Or Not To Be Like The Creator

610.2Question: What would likeness to the Creator give me?

Answer: A lot. Being like the Creator.

Question: Is it worth it?

Answer: They say yes. 🙂

Comment: It is just that so little has been written about this. Very weak advertising.

My Response: The fact is that advertising cannot be given here because what can you offer now, in advance, before a person starts doing something for the sake of another?

Comment: Describe what a wonderful state it is to be like the Creator. So many different books have been written, but nothing about that.

My Response: A lot has been written. But all this will not give us anything and will not help us in any way.

Comment: Let us say that a person understands what it means to be a millionaire. Much has been written about this.

My Response: Yes, and besides, he sees examples in front of him. Here, there are no examples, since the similarity to the Creator does not fit into our consciousness or into any examples of our world.

Question: How can we, people, be? Something is demanded of us, but we do not understand what it is.

Answer: That is why the Creator gradually develops us to a state so that we feel that we cannot live in any system of laws except love your neighbor. After all, all other laws simply do not give us the opportunity to exist.

Question: Are we being developed by the method of the opposite state? From denial?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Must we renounce our present state?

Answer: It will be so that you will want to renounce it.

Question: Where is the freedom of choice here?

Answer: Freedom of choice is not here! It is out there, further on.

Question: So, at these stages, does nature give us freedom?

Answer: No. Here we are urged on, as they say with a stick, to happiness like little animals. To be or not to be similar to the Creator does not depend on us. All this is recorded in our program. All the same, we will come to this state. There are only two ways: fast and pleasant or long with suffering. So choose!

Willingness To Leave Egypt

592.04Question: The Creator brings ten blows to Egypt. What are all these ten plagues?

Answer: I do not think that this can be easily explained because we do not understand what the egoistic qualities revealed in a person are, and accordingly, what the altruistic qualities are.

Question: For example, what is Egyptian darkness?

Answer: A person sees that there is nothing but darkness in front of him in his as-yet-uncorrected egoistic qualities, but he is ready for this and goes forward. For him, spiritual darkness is more precious than egoistic light. He agrees to go with his eyes closed.

Question: When all the firstborn children of Egypt were killed, does it mean that a person feels that he does not see a glimpse of light in his future?

Answer: He has no connection with Egypt any more. Nothing can grow there. And then he is ready to leave Egypt.

Question: Does he make his own decision?

Answer: Yes.

Question: On one hand, I have to make my own decision, and on the other hand, I am in the ten. Are we making this decision together?

Answer: Together, all work is in the ten but on different levels. Of course, we are still in the ego, the uncorrected level. But within our egoism, the corresponding decisions above it are already being made.

Question: So all these blows are not received in my ego, but we seemingly all together receive them in our common ego?

Answer: Yes. The ten is considered one common whole, and that is why it is called “nation.”

How Should I Relate To People’s Criticism Of Me?

514.02Question: How should I relate to people’s criticism of me?

Answer: I don’t respond to criticism of me in particular, unless it is to the point and I see that I should take advantage of this criticism in order to change my methods of instruction a little, my expression, or to pay more attention to some aspect, etc. I welcome any criticism that can help me practically in the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

I disregard anything else that is said about me, and I don’t even read what people write about me. I have heard that many unpleasant things have been written in the press, but I am not offended by any of them in any way. This is humanity’s nature before it is corrected.

A Nation Built On Love Your Neighbor

749.02You have raised the nation, the Israelites, on whom the faith of the Creator abides, as it should. This is the middle line, which includes both lines—the right and the left.

Increased his joy—this is the level of the Rosh of the Upper (the head of the Upper). That is, Hesed turned Hochma that Abraham merged with, is called the great one. And joy rests with him, meaning, the right line—Hesed (mercy). (The Book of Zohar)

There are three Upper qualities in us: Hesed, Gevura, and Tifferet, below there are: Netzach, Hod, and Yesod. Hesed rises into Hochma, Gevura into Bina, Netzach into Hesed, Yesod into Hod, and so on.

The three points: Cohen, Levi, and Israel always entail a gradual development. These are our inner qualities that have nothing to do with people in this world.

Any person, regardless of nationality, race, or affiliation, if he works internally on himself and wants to reach similarity with the Creator, egoism begins to manifest in him, as well as the property of the Creator, one line, then the second, and the third, with which he builds himself up. Therefore, this guidance applies to every person on Earth.

Question: Can a spiritual state of “rising Israel” occur to any person, whether he is Chinese or German?

Answer: Sure. The middle line is the similarity to the Creator. There is no such nationality—”Israel.” This is an artificially created nation based on the spiritual principle of “loving your neighbor as yourself.”

This was the call with which an ancient Babylonian priest and philosopher Abraham gathered the nation. Those who joined him wanted to advance using the quality of love and bestowal. Therefore, in our world, they have become what is called the people of Israel.

But, in general, any person who strives, with the help of the two qualities of nature, receiving and giving, egoism and altruism, to the Creator is called Yashar El, Israel.

How Is the Middle Line Created?

232.08Question: How can we give up the right line willingly in order to move to the middle line?

Answer: You should not give up anything. The middle line appears as a result of the right combination between the right line and the left line.

On the one hand, it exists thanks to both of them. We can say that the right line becomes the right line only because there is the left line in contrast to it. In fact, the implementation of the two lines takes place in the middle line. This means that one line cannot exist without the other. They determine and define each other by existing one opposite the other.

Question: Are there any special clear indications of the middle line, and how can we attain that it is actually the middle line?

Answer: The middle line is attained by balance. It is just like a person walking on a tightrope constantly balancing himself with the help of a rod. It is the same with you. If you forget this, you will not have a middle line because it does not exist on its own but only as the combination of two opposite lines.

Do Not Stay In Egypt Forever

747.01Where can we get the desire to attain the light of infinity? Now we are in an ocean of endless light, but do we feel that we lack it? Not at all. We desire what we see in front of us, what is perceptible to our egoism.

And that is why Abraham asked the Creator: “How will I know that I will inherit it,” since they haven’t the Kelim [vessels] or the need for the great inheritance that You are showing me that You will give to my sons; they haven’t the need.” Where does an ordinary person get such thoughts because he just wants a quiet life and nothing more?

But the Creator says: “No! I have prepared for you the Egyptian exile as the quintessence of all evil. You will enter this period and acquire such desires in it that you will want to break out of them. You will feel that they are harmful to you.”

On one hand, there is no strength to get rid of them, and on the other hand, it is impossible to stay in them. Exile is such a prison that suffocates you, leaves you without a breath of air, but you cannot escape from it to such an extent that egoism suffocates you.

And you see that you are working only for your ego, which takes everything for itself. It is like you are trying to drink from a bucket full of holes: you scoop up water, dying of thirst, bring it to your mouth, and it is empty. And then there is no way out but to escape from this prison.

The one who remains an egoist and does not want to learn to give is called an Egyptian, not a Jew. After all, Jew means unity (Yihud), and an Egyptian does not strive for unity and will remain in Egypt.

The Creator explained all this to Abraham.
