Elokim [God] in the Bible. “In the beginning God created” is the Bina that emanates to the Nukva de ZA. He elicited thirteen words: THE, HEAVEN, AND-THE, EARTH, AND-THE EARTH, WAS, EMPTY, AND-CHAOTIC, AND-THE-DARKNESS, OVER, THE-FACE, OF-THE-ABYSS, AND-THE-SPIRIT…

These thirteen words imply to the same thirteen petals of the rose among the thorns, the sea that stands over the twelve oxen, which are preparation and qualification for the Assembly of Israel to receive the thirteen qualities of Rachamim (Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Zohar for All, Vol. 1, “The Rose“, Item 1).

There are upper systems that filter and restrict the light so the lower ones can receive it. Similarly, Malchut tries to ensure that only the lights that can be received for the benefit of the lower descend from the first nine Sefirot above it.

How does Malchut know exactly what it can receive for the benefit of the lower? Everything is determined by the need of the lower, the desire they raise to it. Therefore, according to the awakening from below (Itaruta de Letata), that is, a prayer (MAN) on our part, an answer (MAD) comes to us from above.

Therefore, a person cannot complain that he does not receive. If he doesn’t ask, he doesn’t receive. If he asks, he will receive. But the request must be such that it raises the right desire, a spiritual vessel, Kli. Then there will be no problems and of course, you will get light into it. The request itself, in essence, is a vessel. If it is correct, the light comes.

The right request means that you feel a genuine need, a desire, for something. In essence, you always get what you ask for. So if you say the Creator causes you suffering, you asked for it. And if you claim He brings you goodness, you asked for it. You always receive according to your request.

If so, how can it be that we are asking for something bad?! Yes, we are asking for bad things. If I want to receive fulfillment in my desire to enjoy, then receive it I shall! And why do I feel bad? This already depends on the whole system. But effectively, you got what you asked for.

We do not understand how unimpeachably the Good That Does Good works; “Please, receive!” is how parents raise their children: “Do you want this? Go ahead!” And then what? “Oh, no!” “But this is what you wanted.”

This is how the Creator acts toward us also.

Question: In The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Baal HaSulam writes about the miraculous quality of the singularity of the Creator. What kind of singularity are we talking about?

Answer: The fact is that in all His actions the Creator is absolutely good. He only gives and bestows; He only thinks and intends to do everything for the absolute benefit of creation.

He does not have any thought with regard to Himself, but only for the creation that He created. He has no desires for Himself, and therefore, He cannot be a source of negative actions. After all, everything He does is only for the sake of the created beings.

Question: Does it mean that we too should come to a state where we do not think about ourselves at all?

Answer: Yes, we will have to come to the same state as a result of our correction. The “miraculous quality” is to not to think about myself, but to think about others.

In Ein Sof it is a “simple desire” because He is One and His Name One. The light in Ein Sof is called He and the will to receive is called His Name, and they are simple unity without any form of separation (Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, Chapter 1).

Question: What does it mean “He is One and His Name One”?

Answer: The Creator is the force itself and His name is what this force produces.

The essence of the Creator, in principle, cannot be attained by us. His actions are the actions of the Creator within us, and based on them we can decide what His essence is. But all the same, this is not the essence of the Creator Himself, but the essence of His revelation to us, the Good and Does Good. Eventually, this is what we attain.

Question: Can we say that He is the force, light, and His name is the will to receive, creation?

Answer: Yes. As a result of the way we feel and explore His influence on us, to that extent we attain Him.

Question: What is this state of “simple unity”?

Answer: Simple unity is what we can reach as a result of our similarity with the Creator, i.e., the gradual coming closer to Him, up to the adhesion. Although we are absolutely opposite to Him since He created us, as it were, as His imprint, based on this imprint, we become similar to the Creator, and eventually we begin to feel Him.

When it rose upon His simple desire (30) to create the worlds and emanate the emanated beings to bring the perfection of His deeds, His names and appellations to light, which was the reason of the creation of the worlds (Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, Chapter 1).

Question: Does this mean that the Creator created worlds and created beings to show the perfection of His actions?

Answer: Basically, yes. The Creator created the worlds and created beings in order to reveal His perfection and the perfection of His actions to the created beings who would be able to attain His actions and through them to attain Him.

The Creator Himself is concealed, He is unattainable. Only His actions are attainable because He reveals Himself in them. Through His actions we can imagine who He is, although the very essence of the Creator is unattainable to us.

It is impossible to talk to the Creator the way we talk to people with whom we have a common feeling and the ability to hear each other’s voices. With the Creator, we need to find a channel of communication: “I to Him, and He to me” so that we can “hear,” understand, and feel the Creator.

A person receives the ability to hear the Creator at the degree of Bina because Bina is hearing. Then I will hear what the Creator is saying to me. In relation to the Creator, I have to be at the degree of Malchut, which rises to Bina. Then I can speak with Him and He will hear me. That is, I must be at the degree of bestowal: “I to Him, and He to me.”

“I to Him” is my work, the desire to rise to the degree of bestowal. “The Creator to me” means that I should be able to hear how the Creator addresses me. After all, it is not easy.

The Creator is the source of life, the upper light from which everything that exists emanates and receives fulfillment and life. When we connect with the Creator, we move to a different form of existence compared to the one we had before and start to live at the degree of bestowal.

At the degree of bestowal, there are no boundaries for coming closer to each other, devotion, and reception; it all happens in a different dimension. This is how we enter into a new connection.

How can you learn to speak with the Creator? I try to swim in the same current with everything that happens in life because certainly it comes from the Creator. I want to be connected with Him every moment of my life, and to feel inside this connection how the Creator is constantly turning me in one direction and then in another. I want to adhere to Him and not let go.

To be adhered with the Creator means to follow Him each moment so that He walks in front of me and I do not run in front of Him and risk exiting His garden.

The main thing is the connection with the Creator, and not what I receive through it. Even if I receive seemingly the most unpleasant events, but they come from the Creator, then everything will be fine with me. The main thing is to keep the connection with Him. That is, I elevate my connection with the Creator above any possible fulfillment so that this connection with the Creator itself becomes my fulfillment.

If the Creator is the absolute good, and I receive only good and correct things from Him, then I can turn to Him with only one request: for my correction, in order not to think anything bad about Him, rather only good.

Question: Why does Rabash write that “one who follows the path of the Creator creates the Creator?”

Answer: Indeed, it sounds very strange that а man creates the Creator. But in fact, it is so both in the internal and external sense.

There are 3,800 different religions and beliefs in this world and they were all invented by people who in their fantasies, in their imagination, created a deity on which they depend.

All kinds of foretellers of the future and astrologers still appear in newspapers, on the radio, and on television. Obviously, these people create their own Creator, their own God, each nation according to its character and with all sorts of attributes.

This happens externally as well as internally, that is, in the science of Kabbalah. Only in accordance with the vessel can the higher power that has no form or image be given shape. If the shape of my vessel is somewhat similar to the highest abstract power, then I feel in it that I have fulfilled the law of equivalence of qualities and feel the qualities and essence of the Creator.

It turns out that I am creating the Creator myself because I am building a vessel in which it is possible to feel the quality of the upper, the property of Zeir Anpin in Malchut, according to their similarity, mergence, and correspondence.

In other words, I create the Creator myself, but not in the way I want as in external religions where each nation has created its own image of God or turned some person into an idol.

We create this image against our nature, which means it can never just appear in our imagination or desire. And secondly, we strive for equivalence of form, and only after having reached a certain similarity can we feel that we have created the image of the Creator within ourselves. That is why we are called man, Adam, meaning similar (Domeh) to the Creator.

The Creator (Bore) means come (Bo) and see (Re), but you need to enter inside your desires, your feelings. The Creator does not exist outside of my desire. I feel and reveal Him according to my understanding, perception, and ability to imagine in the desire created by Him.

I cannot talk about Him but only about what I can grasp and attribute to Him. In this, there is a huge difference. I correct my vessel until it resonates with the upper force, and then I grasp something inside my qualities that I envision to be the Creator.

But this image exists only in relation to me.

Therefore, the Creator is called come and see: come, change yourself to such an extent that you will be able to see. But what do you see? Your own corrected qualities that are similar to Him.

Know that before the emanated beings were emanated and the created beings created, an upper, simple light had filled the entire reality. …

It refers to the light that expands from the Creator Himself. Know that all the names and appellations that appear in the wisdom of Kabbalah are not at all in the Creator Himself, but only in the light that expands from His self (Baal HaSulam, Study of the Ten Sefirot, Vol. 1, Part 1, Chapter 1, “Restriction and Line“).

The Creator is the source of all there is. What is emanated from Him is called light.

It is not about our physical light, but about the emanation that comes from the Creator. When a person begins to feel the influence of light on himself, the light acting upon him gradually makes him similar to the Creator. That is, light carries a special energy, a special quality and the one it influences turns into some semblance of the Creator.

This is expressed in the qualities of a person, which he suddenly begins to feel in how he changes and in how he depicts for himself the surrounding space, our world, the upper world, and so on.

These are the qualities of bestowal and love that he receives from the influence of the upper light.

Question: Does it mean that he gradually begins to love everyone?

Answer: Yes. He begins to feel absolutely all the universe around him and feels that he belongs to it because one single light creates all this. A person who attains the upper light reveals everything as one single work of light.

His love, first of all, is directed to the source of light, to the Creator.

Question: So, when a person studies TES, will the quality of love for the Creator eventually be revealed in him?

Answer: Possibly. This is how it should be, but not right away.

Until we clarify our desire to enjoy and do not reveal a whole system of connections and its constituent properties, it seems just a desire that does not represent anything special.

But when its depth begins to unfold, we see how complex this system is.

Thus in quantum physics, scientists penetrate deeper and deeper into matter, and each time reveal a whole world inside ever smaller elementary particles, which were previously considered indivisible.

In this way we penetrate deeper and deeper into our desire to enjoy. But what do we see in it? We see how the upper light, which created the desire to enjoy, influenced it, and created four stages of direct light in it. And through these four stages, since the light has entered into the desire to enjoy, it is building its own structure in it.

In the desire to enjoy itself there is nothing but desire. But the light creates differences in it according to the five stages of Aviut (thickness) of the desire (Shoresh, Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet), Sefirot, Olamot, Partzufim, and Kavim, in an infinite number of types of connections and forms, each of which has its own characteristic features, an infinite number of differences—and they all come from the light.

Therefore, the more we open our desire to enjoy, the more we reveal the light, the Creator, and His nature. But we reveal Him from matter, the desire to enjoy, and this is called “form clothed in matter.”

We reveal not the Creator himself, but the actions that He performed in matter, and from them we attain Him, as it is written: “From Your actions we shall know You.”

We get into the matter itself. The Creator put Himself into matter, and we reveal ourselves as being in the same matter, and there we meet the Creator. Therefore, Atzmuto remains unattainable.

Spiritual light is the influence of the Creator on the will to receive, which is called creation.

The Creator is the source of everything that exists and the light is His influence on creation.

According to the form in which the creation receives light, it can feel it as pleasure or as something opposite. That is, the light is an influence emanating from the Creator, but the creation must be ready to feel it. Depending on its correspondence to the light, it can feel pleasure from this influence or the opposite.

Light is neutral and creation can change itself. Therefore, everything depends on the creation.

Question: Where is the Creator hiding and why?

Answer: The Creator hides behind the entire canvas of this world, behind all our feelings and thoughts. If we want to attain Him, we must expand these actions, qualities, feelings, and visions, and then we will reveal Him as the basis of all this.

Question: What language does He understand?

Answer: The Creator understands the language of feelings when you relate to Him independently of yourself, want to feel Him and at the same time forget about yourself. That is, the feeling of the Creator must be absolutely objective!

Question: How can one understand that the Creator has no boundaries, that He is infinite?

Answer: I do not think we can understand this because a person perceives everything within certain limits. It comes gradually, precisely through the efforts.

Question: Does the Creator like when we pray to Him?

Answer: The Creator does not like when we pray to Him, worship or beg Him. The Creator loves people who want to come closer to Him because His state is absolute, the best! Which is what He wishes for the created beings.

Question: What is God like?

Answer: God is like absoluteness in everything!

Question: Does He have feelings and mind?

Answer: The feelings and mind of the Creator are not limited by anything. But we cannot talk about them because we perceive everything within a framework, within boundaries, in limitations.

Question: Does God have mysteries?

Answer: He has no mysteries. On the contrary, He wants to be fully revealed to the created beings. But at the same time, His task is to bring the created beings to a state where they can reveal Him. He is not hiding.

Question: What is the most real proof that God exists?

Answer: The fact that we exist.

Question: Which image can more accurately correspond to the Creator?

Answer: I would draw with the letters “י – ה – ן – ה”—”Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey.”

Question: What question would you ask the Creator?

Answer: Do you have anything else to show me?
