Question: How can a person envision the concepts of the “Creator” and the “Torah” on the spiritual path?

Answer: The Torah is the entire light that corrects us and the light that then fills us.

Baal HaSulam writes in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar“: Each of the 613 organs in that Partzuf fully shine in their own unique way, each as an independent Partzuf. Then there opens before him the possibility to engage in each Mitzva according to its true intention, for each organ in Partzuf Neshama illuminates for him the paths of each Mitzva related to that organ.

Through the great power of those lights, he purifies the speaking part of his will to receive and inverts it into a desire to bestow.

He explains that our desire consists of 613 parts, completely egoistic and broken. These broken desires are corrected by our request and from our efforts to connect with one another because they connect us to each other like threads, each with everyone else.

They are corrected with the help of 613 lights, which are called the “613 lights of the Torah.” And when I correct these 613 desires, they connect with the same 613 desires of another person. It turns out that we are all connected by 613 desires, threads, of each person with all the others, and one common network of mutual bestowal emerges.

My 613 desires recognize and understand the 613 desires in each person and in everyone together, and unite with all to bestow to everyone. And then all the light passes through me, all the fulfillment that I want to fill everyone else with!

The common light that is revealed in order to fill us all is called the Creator (Bo–Reh), that is, “come and see” how He clothes Himself in you.

So I have 613 uncorrected desires, and in order to correct them, I need 613 lights of correction, which are called the Torah, “the light that returns to the source.” And then the Creator clothes in these corrected desires of mine and reveals Himself in the connection between us.

It turns out that Israel (the corrected desires), the Torah (the light that corrected these desires) and the Creator, Who clothes in this entire system, unite into one whole.

Question: How is everything measured in Kabbalah?

Answer: In the science of Kabbalah, we study that there are no absolute, true measurements; everything is evaluated in human perception. Therefore, it is always said with respect to a person who attains reality, as Kabbalah says: “There is no Creator without creation.”

Therefore, it must be understood that everything written in The Book of Zohar by its authors about the Creator, in the Psalms by King David, and in other sources is written by a person who comprehends according to his qualities and the level of his attainment.

In accordance with this, the person himself is evaluated, as well as his position on the ladder of degrees. Depending on where he is, this is how he sees the Creator. It seems to him that the Creator is changing, because he evaluates everything according to his desires and qualities.

There is no change in the Creator who is good and does good and who is in absolute peace. But every moment a person awakens his Reshimot, and according to this he decides whether the Creator is great or small, good or evil.

Therefore, we can understand Kabbalistic texts only if we rise to the level of their authors.

Question: What are these three categories of the Creator: One, Unique, and Unified?

Answer: The categories One, Unique, and Unified emphasize that there is only one force in the world: the Creator’s force, the force of bestowal and love. Only He, One, Unique, and Unified governs absolutely everything. Even those forces and qualities that He deliberately creates in order to contrast Himself against them are also under His control.

Question: Why does one and the same force act on different people in different ways?

Answer: The force is one, but people are different. Depending on their similarity to this force or, conversely, their opposition to it, we either draw closer to it or move further away from it.

Question: When you say “people are different,” do you mean only the egoistic level of a person?

Answer: Yes, they differ only in their accordance with the Creator. Everything else does not matter.

21. What is “unique and unified” (Part 1, Inner Observation, 1)
Unique indicates the upper light that shines and rules over all the many degrees, which are different from each other, to the point of inverting them and equalizing them with His unique form. “Unified” indicates the end of that rule, meaning after He had already equalized and returned their form to the state of “unique,” as He is (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot).

Our entire path is the attainment of greater and greater unity until we reach complete unity.
And when we merge into one, we reveal within us the “unified.”

This very state is called “unified,” and it includes all the previous forms within itself.

We see the degrees as completely different, even opposed and contradictory to one another, but the One who arranges all of this for us is called the “Unique.” And in relation to Him, all this appears in a completely different way. He has only a single action, yet it seems to us as though entirely different actions are taking place.

We are unable to unite all this together, yet we call Him “Unified” because in passing through all the many and opposite states, we reveal that in all of them acts one single form and one single purpose.

In this lies the whole root of our work. On our part, we discover within ourselves all kinds of actions, qualities, and states, different, alien, and opposite. But we must strive to unite them together, to bring them to unity, to the root.

From the root emanates unity; yet in our sensations, it divides into a very large number of various manifestations and actions in order to show us our separation, our lack of unity.

If we unite all this together and bring it to one root, since within all these forms there exists one thought and one relation, then we will attain this unique and unified root.

All these forms that appear to us as different are testimony to our own flaws and corruptions. And precisely because of this, we must ascribe and bring them to the unique and unified form.

Comment: What kind of game as adults should we have now?

Answer: Playing seriously means playing the Creator.

Comment: Explain what it is.

My Response: It is to make sure the Creator is among us in all our thoughts and actions. This is called playing seriously.

Question: Can we say that before I do anything, I try to appeal to the Creator?

Answer: Yes, and to imagine you are doing this for Him, for His benefit, for His sake. For Him means for the sake of others. Nothing affects the Creator; He needs nothing. There is only one possibility, which is to get the strength from Him to act for the sake of others.

Question: It turns out the formula “I want to be happy” changes to “I want people to be happy so everyone around me is happy?”

Answer: But really happy. Not the way I want them to be happy, but the way the Creator wants them to be happy. Because this is the law of the universe. It is absolute and objective.

Question: How precise everything is! So how does He want people to be happy? What is it for the Creator?

Answer: Try to move into other people’s shoes, transition there, and start feeling what is most important to them. And build it together with them.

Question: When transitioning, what do you think will be the most important thing for people?

Answer: To feel close to each other.

Question: Is this it? Is that the only thing deep inside a person?

Answer: Yes, a person begins to feel perfection in this.

Question: So there is peace, happiness, and security in it?

Answer: It is the completion of everything. Not the end, but completion, pure perfection.

Question: So are all people close? Are all people brothers and sisters?

Answer: Yes, they generally disappear in the form they are in now. They simply enter the realm of perfection.

Question: So if now I want to use another for my benefit, there I would want to give myself completely to someone else?

Answer: Yes, this is what giving ourselves to each other is all about. It is called Hashpaa in Kabbalah, bestowal. This is the state of perfection; the spiritual state.

Comment: We are engaged in a great science after all.

My Response: It is yet to be revealed! It will be further developed and broken down into feelings.

However, in Him, wisdom, pleasure, sweetness and acerbity, operation and operator, and other such different and opposite forms are all contained as one in His simple light. There are no differentiations among them whatsoever, as is the term “One, Unique, and Unified.”

“One” indicates a single evenness. “Unique” implies that everything that extends from Him, all these multiplicities, are in Him as single as His self. “Unified” shows that although He performs the multiple operations, one force performs all these, and they all return and unite in the form of One. Indeed, this one form swallows all the forms that appear in His operations (Baal HaSulam, Study of the Ten Sefirot – Inner Observation, Part 1).

All three attributes “one, unique, and unified must join together in our attainment, in our feelings, and even in our desire, and we tune into them like a radio receiver. Then we begin to feel that these are the qualities of the Creator.

Moreover, their correct connection with one another gives us the understanding that it is not one, nor unique, nor unified, but all together.

Question: (from 11-year-old Idan) If the Creator spoke with people in the Bible and in the Pentateuch, why does He not speak with us now? And if He does speak with us, with today’s generation, then how can we know about it?

Answer: The Creator is constantly speaking to you, but you do not hear Him. He lives in your heart and addresses you, but you do not want to open your heart!

He knocks on your heart as on a door, but you do not open because you do not hear His knocks, you lack hearing, Bina, the quality of bestowal. If someone knocks on the door and you have a hearing problem, you do not hear it. The “ear,” hearing in spirituality, is the level of Bina, the force of bestowal. If you were receptive to bestowal, to love of your neighbor, you would hear that He is addressing you.

Question: What does He say?

Answer: He says: “Let’s embrace! Let’s be together.” But to embrace the Creator means to be like Him, to live in the quality of bestowal and love of one’s neighbor, and this, I do not want! “Give me something for me personally, then come! But with what You are offering me, do not come! I do not want to open to You.” This is what we say to Him.

Question: What is the difference between the Creator and Atzmuto?

Answer: Atzmuto is something we do not touch at all. This force precedes its manifestation in us so we cannot talk about any of its properties. We can talk about the Creator because this is an intermediate step between us and Atzmuto.

Question: But it also does not manifest in us since we do not yet have the property of bestowal?

Answer: We are talking about the Creator purely theoretically. Kabbalists tell us that everything we receive, everything we deal with, comes only from the Creator.

But no one can talk about Atzmuto: not us or the Kabbalists.

The Creator Himself does not exist.

Comment: Well that statement shocks everyone.

My Response: But it is true! How a person reacts to this, if one does, is his business. I must set things straight. The Creator Himself does not exist. What exists is the feeling of closeness with others that arises through mutual effort to reveal the quality of love and bestowal.

Question: So this feeling, you call it the revelation of the Creator?

Answer: Yes, the Creator is love. And this has nothing to do with what is between a man, a woman, children, it does not matter who or what. It is simply a relation to everything that, I would say, I perceive as outside of me.

Question: And outside of me, you say there is only love?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Within me, there is none. But outside me there is love?

Answer: Within me, it is egoistic, predetermined, over which I must rise and feel true love.

Question: It is said that a person must overcome his own opinion and thoughts, and believe with complete faith that this is the Creator’s call. What do we overcome within ourselves in order to hear the voice of the Creator in the ten?

Answer: We must try to step out of our limited state where we are connected to each other by small egoistic ties and strive to replace them with mutual bestowal directed toward the center of the group.

As much as possible, we should avoid addressing someone personally in the ten and instead dissolve in the friends and bind them together. This is what we must get to.
