The Path to Courage Lies through Timidity

543.02Question: Timidity wanted to hide from itself. But where? Cunning advised it: “Why don’t you settle with Courage, it’s not so scary with it.” Timidity went to Courage, but was afraid to knock on the door, so it just lay down on its porch. Since then, the path to courage lies through timidity.

Is this true?

Answer: Yes, because with an egoistic nature, it is impossible to achieve courage without fear. How do courageous people deal with this? It is because they overcome timidity.

Question: So the more a person is timid and the more they overcome timidity, the braver they are? So fundamentally are we timid?

Answer: Yes, because we have egoism within us. It prevents us from acting recklessly against ourselves; where there is a possibility of harming ourselves, it doesn’t allow it.

Question: So is there always a risk?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And is it our egoism that causes this? Why then is timidity so despised?

Answer: Timidity is despised, but it is important to understand that it is a human feeling and very strong. It, by the way, protects us from many problems that we could cause ourselves and others.

Question: So a person who admits they are timid is not despised by you?

Answer: No, not despised. You just need to know how to balance this force and take care of yourself in any situation with consideration for how much it is needed.

Question: Is there courage without fear?

Answer: No, only if it is a pathological state.

Question: So you consider it a pathology? When there is complete recklessness?

Answer: Of course. Look at animals, how they behave. They don’t recklessly attack anyone. They check, they make circles, and so on, and so forth. And only then, if necessary, they rush forward.

Comment: Yes, that’s true. Only in rabid dogs, it seems, this is disabled.

My Response: Yes.

Comment: So it is actually a disease if a person is purely reckless, brave, as they say.

My Response: That is not courage.

Question: How should children be raised? When we tell a child, “Don’t be timid, be brave.”

Answer: Weigh everything.

Question: Whom are you talking to right now?

Answer: The child. Weigh everything for and against. And only if you are convinced that there is no other way, attack.
Comment: You’re now addressing the child as an adult, as someone with wisdom.

My Response: What can you do? That is how it is with adults too.

Question: But should this be the attitude toward a child? So you weigh, weigh everything for and against? And only after that…?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what is called upbringing?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Can a child do that?

Answer: They can. Since this caution, timidity can help them.

Question: What age of the child are you talking about?

Answer: A young child. From three years old.

Question: Can you say “weigh” to a three-year-old? Sit in front of them and say “weigh”? Can you already treat a child like an adult from such a young age?

Answer: Yes.

Question: If a parent acts like this, what does it say about the parent?

Answer: That the parent teaches their child a balanced approach to the world.

The Last Generation of the Renaissance

592.03Question: Many adults in Israel, particularly parents, are distressed and sad that children these days are immersed in mobile phones, computer games, and artificial intelligence and don’t pay attention to the older generation. This generation has even been called the lost generation.

And suddenly now, that war has come to Israel, the children went to fight, and suddenly they are so concerned about their parents, about each other, about the future of the country, about the unity of the people! We read their letters; these are lofty letters addressed to us! We begin to understand that it is not them, but us that are the lost generation. Us! They are 19 years old and older and are living by the ideology of unity, while we (their parents) are still embroiled in political disputes, insisting on our own, believing we are right. It is impossible to root out this spirit of being right from us.

So, the question is: Do you think that some sort of revolution suddenly took place?

Answer: I believe this generation will take matters into their own hands regarding human relationships and nature. They will force nature to change.

Question: Will they not drown in us, in our so-called “wisdom”?

Answer: No, I think they will be able to break free from this swamp in which people have languished for millennia.

Comment: But look, in our politics, for example, it is mainly the older generation that are confident in themselves, with political and military experience, and they seem to rule.

My Response: That does not mean anything.

Question: Does the country need the experience of such a politician or the experience of a nineteen-year-old who has felt what unity is?

Answer: The country needs a person who evaluates the life of the nation by its assembly, union, bonding, and connection. There have not been many such leaders throughout the entire Jewish history. I hope that such a leader will emerge among the people like Ben-Gurion and Baal HaSulam combined in one person.

Question: So, does this war help give birth to such a leader?

Answer: Yes, I think it has to happen.

Question: Do we need to make room for this?

Answer: This space will be freed up by squeezing out everything else from people, and only this desire for unity will occupy the space.

Question: Are you now talking about a leader, regardless of age or experience?

Answer: I think it does not matter.

Question: Will this combat experience of unity be instilled in this person?

Answer: Yes, I think this is how it should be. It is a kind of revolution in each person, and we are approaching it.

Comment: So, you feel that the generation…

My Response: Is not lost.

Question: Could it be that they might be wiser than us?

Answer: Yes, we live in the generation of the true exodus from Egypt. Let’s hope that Moses will appear among us and will lead the entire nation.

I Am Not in Favor of Suffering

95It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.
(William Ernst Henley, Invictus)

Question: This poet’s life and destiny were very hard! At the age of 12, he developed tuberculosis of the bone, and his leg had to be amputated, and later, they had to amputate the other one. He was always sick. But at the same time, he was always a fighter. It is said that Robert Louis Stevenson made the pirate Long John Silver in Treasure Island in his image. That is how he was.

Why does this desire to fight fate, to fight the Creator, live in us and lead us through life?

Answer: Yes, there are such special souls, such special people. What can you do? We must try to fight. And we see from historical examples it still gives some results. But it depends on the person and on how he develops.

Question: Is it the character one is born with? Is it already embedded in him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why do we so admire such a struggle?

Answer: I would not say I admire it, but I am impressed that there are people born with such set functions and such set qualities.

Question: Are we talking about a struggle with fate and with God?

Answer: Yes, with fate.

Question: But he does not agree with his fate, he fights it. Brumel and Vlasov were like that. After terrible illnesses, they got back on their feet. On their own. This is called “You make yourself.” Is it admirable?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When the Creator tests one’s resolve, what does He want from us? What is this done for?

Answer: All this is added to the piggy bank of the common soul of all mankind, and such people contribute a lot to humanity with their fate.

Question: What do they make humanity understand?

Answer: They bring humanity closer to the Creator.

Question: Despite the fact they are like…

Answer: It does not matter what they feel about it. I am not saying they are some kind of saints. They simply raise the level of man higher toward the Creator.

But I am not in favor of suffering. There are many similar examples where people choose suffering and believe this is how they rise. This is not true.

Question: Then the natural question in this and other cases is how not to suffer?

Answer: If you clearly understand, and you have such conditions when your suffering makes it easier for someone to correct, move forward, then yes. But if it is only in your fantasies…

Question: Now you have raised the bar. You said, “If my suffering makes someone’s life, fate, or soul easier”; you didn’t say “my,” but “someone’s.”

Answer: For others, of course.

Question: That is high! That is, if they are an example for someone, and are doing this for the sake of such an example, to show an example, of what can you try?

That is, if they are an example for someone, and I do this for the sake of such an example, to show an example, what is possible, try?

Answer: Yes.

Question: This is exalted! You keep talking about annulling before fate, before the Creator’s decision. When you say that, what do you mean?

Answer: I mean, I am consciously agreeing with what I see before me.

Question: Even with your illnesses and so on?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Meaning, it comes from You, and it is necessary for me. Like this?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What happens to my pain, to my suffering?

Answer: When we agree with this, it creates peace within us. A person agrees with his fate, with the Creator, he agrees to accept everything coming to him according to his fate.

Question: Is it like an anesthetic?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what you call “annulment”?

Answer: Right.

Question: And must we come to this?

Answer: I believe so, yes.

There Is No Need to Be Afraid of Death

626Comment: A doula is a woman who helps with childbirth. These are not medical personnel. She helps, advises the the woman how to position herself, and massages women who are about to give birth.

My Response: A midwife.

Question: But she doesn’t deliver babies, she helps. Advises what to think about, helps make it warm, good, and comfortable for a woman giving birth.

And there is a doula of death. I even found such a website for one whose name is Varya. This Varya helps to go through dying exactly the way the person himself wants it is what is written there. It also says she supports conversations with the dying, prepares a step-by-step individual scenario of dying, takes care of household chores: watering flowers, walking dogs, and so on so that the person who leaves is calm. One can write a letter to a future child and so on. Everything has its price: 50 euros, 100 euros, 200 euros. Everything is priced on that website.

Do you think a person needs such a doula of death?

Answer: If the person who leaves likes it and wants to, if necessary, then it is necessary.

Comment: After all, a person wants to leave like this, calmly.

My Response: I don’t know. I imagine it differently.

Question: How?

Answer: Just as if to fall asleep and that’s it.

Comment: This is an ideal option.

My Response: No, but not in such a way that you don’t feel anything at all.

Question: That is, it’s like falling asleep. That’s how you fell asleep and that’s it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And you don’t need anyone to accompany you, nothing?

Answer: No.

Question: Can we say that the Creator accompanies you all the time?

Answer: Naturally, this is so.

Question: So my conversation is going on with Him all the time anyway, all the time?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I remember now that I had good, leading producers teaching in my higher courses. They were philosophers, smart and very famous. I will not mention the name of the teacher. I was with him in his last days. And I remember how he resisted and screamed: “I don’t want to die!”

Answer: Remarkable.

Question: Shouted! I won’t give his last name, everyone knows him. He has children and relatives. Don’t want to. But this resistance was terrible. It’s scary! It was given to him, he was making a movie and suddenly he left.

I would like to ask how does one agree with this? How can someone not reach these states?

Answer: I don’t know. It seems to me that it’s not such a big problem to lose your life.

Question: How can I calm myself down?

Answer: In fact, there is nothing good in this life. Let’s see, what’s in there?

Question: So, you are suggesting such a switch, a journey to another world? It’s better than this one anyway.

Answer: Yes, of course!

Question: Does this thought accompany a person?

Answer: Yes, what are you losing?! None of what you had is worth worrying about.

Question: How about relatives, close ones, friends, warmth, work?

Answer: They have their own lives.

Question: Is that how a person leaves?

Answer: Yes.

Question: When you talk like that, can you say that the Creator is with you at this moment?

Answer: Of course, in such cases, the person is with the Creator, who takes it away.

Question: And this is the most important thing, to agree?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does it mean that everyone has their own hour? What does this phrase mean? Everyone has their own hour?

Answer: A time to be born and a time to die. So don’t worry too much.

Question: But is it meant for a person to do something during this short journey? It’s laid down to him, right? Is it measured out to him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So he shouldn’t regret anything, since he went on this path the way he did?

Answer: Yes. I am calm about it.

Comment: Still, about this doula, it means that there is a requirement. The prices there are good too. That is, there is a requirement for a person to leave like this, calmly, so that someone is with you, and someone holds your hand, and you calmly leave. A person is afraid of this step, still.

My Response: I can’t imagine that I’m afraid of death. No.

How Can We Be Grateful for Suffering?

627.1Andrey writes:

Michael, there is a certain formula: We will never receive what we want until we are grateful for what we have. How do we give thanks for troubles, pain, and suffering? This is what I have now.

Comment:  There are a lot of letters like his.

My Response: Yes, but we must understand that, in general, all of this goes into our piggy bank. The suffering itself and what we are going through, even if we cannot be grateful for it, is still considered a positive for us.

Question: Is it possible to live with this and think that it is necessary to go through these sufferings? This is what I get, and I have to go through it. Is such annulment before the sufferings taken into account?

Answer: The fact is that it depends on the person. It depends on me whether I suffer or not, how many cases, surgeries, and health problems I have endured in my life. But this is life.

Question: Can we say that life is a chain of suffering that one feels or does not feel, but it is still a chain of suffering?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: If you look at the history of humanity, it is a continuous chain of suffering. You say that somehow it all falls into a general piggy bank somewhere. What do I receive from it? This is Andrey’s and everyone else’s question.

Answer: What do you get out of it? What if you do not get anything? Have you suffered in vain?

Comment: That is right! Then there really is suffering. I have to get something out of this; I have to. Someone is told: “You will have a happy life in the next world.” Someone else is told: “Never mind, you will be purified through this.”

My Response: Is it worth making such a calculation? Personally, I try not to do this so that I do not have requests and complaints to the Creator regarding what I will get from this: “Well, now let us make a calculation of how much You owe me.”

Comment: “I was suffering; now You pay me.”

My Response: Yes, there is no such thing.

Comment: Very often, when a person looks back, he says that what I went through was right, or it was not in vain. This calculation that we make afterward, does it turn out to be correct? That all the suffering I went through was not in vain.

My Response: Yes. I do not think that we are coming to a state where we still condemn the Creator.

Question: Even though it sounds here and there, do you still think that we justify Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How does He do everything so interestingly? He takes a person through great suffering, and then the person says: “I did not go through them in vain.” How does He show it to us?

Answer: The fact is that everyone suffers, any part of nature: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and even more so humans.

Absolutely everyone suffers! Even the pleasure they experience just covers up a little bit of the previous suffering.

Question: Is it correct to say that I want to go through this life full of suffering, but to suffer as little as possible? Is this the correct formula?

Answer: You can say that too, although you do not have to say it; it does not matter. But according to your nature, you cannot desire suffering.

Question: But is it somehow embedded in my path? You say: “The root of my soul…” Do I one way or another have to go through them?

Answer: Yes.

Question: If I live with the fact that I have to go through them, does it make my life easier? Is that right?

Answer: Yes.

Turn Hatred into Love

962.3If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world (Nikola Tesla).

Question: In Tesla’s time there was not so much hatred, but today we would burn the world. He thinks like a scientist, he sees hatred as energy. What is your attitude to the fact that hatred is energy?

Answer: Of course. Our hatred is above all other kinds of energy in the world.

Question: Would there be enough electricity here?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How can this energy of huge hatred be converted into some kind of positive charge today? Can hatred be turned into love?

Answer: Yes. To do this, we need to change man, force a person to change, to move from hatred to love.

This is possible only with the help of what the science of Kabbalah explains about how we can turn hatred into love.

Question: How?

Answer: With the help of the upper light! There must be an even higher level that will affect and change us.

Question: And how can we draw it on us?

Answer: Only by our desire. That is, I must change.

Question: Then it turns out that hatred should fill everything?

Answer: This is what we are moving toward. But in principle, as we understand, we are already prepared for this.

Question: So, do you think man already understands that he is overwhelmed by this?

Answer: Yes. Otherwise, we may burn out. There simply would be nothing left to redo.

Question: Do you see that a person is already coming to the point that he understands what he is, what he hates?

Answer: Yes. Enclosed in himself, absolute egoism, I hate everyone else.

Question: And I will not be able to live with this after a while?

Answer: Not only will I not be able to live, I will not be able to die, and I will not be able to live. Then the decision will come that we must shift inversely to another level.

Question: So it is quite a science that you are talking about? There is bad energy inside me and I want to convert it into good energy.

Answer: Yes. Tesla talked about energy, and we too are talking about energy.

Comment: So, we proved that Kabbalah is a science.

My Response: There is no doubt about it.

Where Does Nobility Come from in Us?

571.03Question: The nature of man is egoism. But when I read the facts of the deaths on the Titanic, it struck me that the orchestra remained playing until the end. The Titanic was sinking, some people and women and children were put into boats, some people stayed onboard, some panicked, and all the while the orchestra played, played, and played to the end, and sank together with the Titanic.

Among other things, there was some billionaire who could have bought 30 of these Titanics, but he stayed on the ship and said, “Until the women and children are all saved, I cannot leave the Titanic.” Couples remained. Women were saved first, but some of them stayed with their husbands to end their lives together as they lived together.

Where does this nobility come from in a person? I am particularly struck by the orchestra that stayed to play. They could have been saved, so they say. Where does this power come from?

Answer: This may be because they all played together and supported each other with this.

As for women and men, it is natural that men in such cases suddenly feel the obligation to save women, children and women. And this can manifest itself everywhere and in everything.

Question: So, the fact that the four musicians stood together supporting each other and playing to the end, was it this force that held them?

Answer: It did. Because they connected in this place, therefore it held them.

Question: You have said more than once that we must look for this force together all the time, constantly, we, each individual, and the world. In this case, can any states be bypassed, so to say?

Answer: Yes, in this case we will not drown.

Question: What is in this force?

Answer: The fact that everyone holds the other. And what appears between them is already a special power of the Creator.

Question: Where does the fear go at this moment?

Answer: They do not feel themselves, they feel others, and therefore there is no fear.

Question: So when my concern is not for myself, but for another, then the fear goes away?

Answer: Yes, the nature of fear is solely self-care. And when a person thinks about others, he is not afraid for himself. He switches to care for life and the fate of another, and this is the most important thing for him. He is, in a way, getting out of himself.

And the nature of the panic that was around, on the contrary, closes in on itself.

Question: Is it possible to give some advice here? At such a moment, in a time of fear and internal panic, of which there are many now, how can you suddenly escape to a different level of life?

Answer: To do this, we need to strive to connect with each other, to be together. And then we will begin to feel like a common part of something common, higher. We will feel good and at ease.

Question: I want to ask you as a Kabbalist, you talk all the time about the connection between people, about a good connection, and at the same time you talk all the time about the connection with the Creator. If I make this connection with the Creator, what happens to me, to fear, to everything in general?

Answer: It just disappears.

Question: What does fear turn into?

Answer: It is not there, it evaporates because the connection with the Creator is above the animal level of our existence. And that is why we should strive for it.

Question: How do I reach this connection? The connection of a person with another can be imagined somehow, but how can a person connect with the Creator?

Answer: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Comment: But it is a neighbor like yourself.

My Response: A neighbor is another like yourself.

Question: Where is the Creator here?

Answer: It is in this union that the Creator will be felt. It is felt precisely between you and the other. If you strive to feel the other as yourself, then instead of yourself and the other, you feel the Creator who actually fills everything, and there is none else besides Him.

Question: What kind of feeling is this?

Answer: This is the feeling of getting outside of oneself into another dimension, into another space. This is what gives a person a sense of a new existence.

We must strive for this.

Question: These four musicians who were together, did they have at least a little sense of the Creator between them at that moment?

Answer: I do not think they really had a sense of the Creator, but quite possibly they experienced the feeling of eternal perfection, elevation above animal life.

Question: So the music they played, was it in them all the time?

Answer: Yes, they were in it.

Why Is It Forbidden to Pronounce the Name of the Creator?

294.3In the News (ati): “Interesting Words From Other Languages We Wish Existed In English” “Mamihlapinatapei, Yagan (language of Tierra del Fuego)

“This word is mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most succinct word, and is also considered the hardest word to translate. Roughly, it means ‘the wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start.'”

Question: What is the depth of the word?

Answer: The word is the universe, the word is everything. “In the beginning was the Word.” In general, this word is “Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey.

This is the four-letter name of the Creator that explains the four steps through which the upper emanation descends on His creation. And everything else comes from this word.

Question: If you say that everything else comes out from it, then is this word in every word, in every action, in general, in everything?

Answer: In everything! “Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey” includes absolutely everything.

Question: What is this magic? What kind of secret is it? What are these four letters that are in everything, in absolutely everything?

Answer: This is the name of the Creator. That is, it includes the four stages of the expansion of the light from the Creator Himself to all creations.

Question: Does the light exist practically, in every word, in every action, and in everything?

Answer: Yes. And this word, the name of the Creator,  includes all the words, practically everything, and everything that happens.

Question: These are four letters. What does the first letter “Yod” – “י” mean?

Answer: Yod” is the source of the light. “Hey” – “ה”is the expansion of the light. “Vav” – “ו” is its descent downward. And the last “”Hey” – “ה” is the clothing of the light in the lower ones that already exist.

Question: It is said that it is forbidden to pronounce the name of the Creator. What is meant by this?

Answer: In principle, you cannot pronounce it in any way. No matter how hard you try. This is because they are letters. And the word itself is not a word. It is just a code. “Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey” is a code.

Question: And when it is said that it is forbidden to pronounce the name of the Creator?

Answer: It means that it is forbidden to try to name His action. Because, in principle, it is hidden from a person. So do not try to do it. Forbidden means impossible.

Whatever Should Be Will Be

294.3Comment: A Sufi was asked: “Venerable, why are there no traces of sadness on your face?” “I do not have anything worth grieving about the loss of,” the Sufi replied.

We are in sorrow all the time. We wanted something, but did not get it. A scratch on the car, we were fooled, or we were not given the position we wanted. We are constantly sad, all the time.

My Response: What a disaster!

Question: Yes! Humanity is like that. You see what is happening! It is in sorrow all the time. And this chain of sadness becomes our life. Can you, please, explain how not to be sad? How can we not be sad?

Answer: First, accept everything as coming from nature—from the Creator. And there should be no objections. And ask for one thing all the time—rapprochement, connection, and adhesion. Then everything will be fine.

Comment: But man is desire. And I always have desires. This one did not come to pass, that one did not come to pass, and still another one did not come to pass. How can I work with this? I am not filled with what I wanted to be filled with.

My Response: What would you like to be filled with?

Comment: What would I like? You name it!

My Response: If you imagine that in the next minute you are gone, then everything is fine.

Comment: Yes, then you are happy with the moment you are in now. That is all.

My Response: You are happy not because you are alive and have continued to live for one more minute but because you simply exist in this moment that the Creator has given you. And you live in it and try to adhere to Him.

Of course, one must strive to the best of one’s ability to ensure one’s future, and so it is written in the Torah, but nothing more.

Question: But if it is not secured, should I accept it?

Answer: Of course.

Question: That is, I want something, but whatever happens, happens and that is it?

Answer: Yes, definitely.

A Beautiful Act of Friends

627.2Comment: I’ve read very touching stories that lead to important questions. One girl writes on Facebook: “I am 13 years old. Six months ago, I started losing my hair and I lost all my hair. I refused to go to school because I was sure that everyone would laugh at me. But 12 of my friends came to me with their heads completely shaved. They did this out of solidarity with me. Three of them were girls. I burst into tears. I wrote about it on my Facebook. I was told in the comments that they didn’t do it from the heart, that they know that their hair will grow back, but yours won’t, that they just want to become famous, and so on. But I don’t want to hear them,” the girl writes. “They are still my best friends forever!”.

My Response: Of course!

Question: Tell me, please, even if this was done like what people wrote, with such an intention, what kind of act is this?

Answer: This is a high deed. It is compassion, it is empathy, and it means a lot.

Compassion is a very powerful force. As a result, they will show everyone at school how to act, what kind of relationships should be. And I think they will quickly stop paying attention to appearance.

Question: Do you think this is a step toward that?

Answer: Yes. Or maybe, on the contrary, many people at school will cut their hair out of solidarity.

Question: In spiritual understanding, what is compassion?

Answer: In the spiritual understanding, compassion is life in another.

Question: Is this an attempt to live in another, what we see with these children?

Answer: Yes, it is spiritual. This is a step that is close to spiritual.

Question: And living in another is my dissolving into him or taking him into myself? Can I say that, or does it matter?

Answer: It is in the other. I want to enter him, I want to exist in him, in all his problems.
