Kabbalists who have attained the upper world say that it exists right here. We need not fly anywhere. The upper world is “here with us.” Only we don’t sense it, as we perceive reality according to one narrow parameter: does it make me feel good or bad?
Come out of yourself and you will sense the upper world.

I don’t want to feel what is or is not pleasant to me. I try to tear away from this dependency, to rise above it, to appraise reality relative to what’s good or bad for others. Thus I will begin to see what’s outside of me. In faith above reason.

The work should be in joy, as if I’ve merited the end of correction. So the light of correction is drawn. I rejoice, as if in revelation… I accept a black state as spiritual that shines with its blackness. The Creator offers connection in the darkness, above the ego. So I accept it with joy.

I can fall into a state of numbness, but falling into the ten, I can accept it as coming from the Creator, turn Malchut’s dark state into a radiant Keter. The world is beautiful!

The maw of the coronavirus opened. Sensing our lowliness, we’ve holed up in our homes. But we’ve also discovered how interconnected we are, and that we can help one another. That is why we must separate to a symbolic distance within which the evil ego operates so as to not infect each other with the ego.

We thought we could subdue nature’s laws. Today it’s becoming clear that we were wrong. Nature is stronger than us, and its laws are inviolable. Only by understanding them and starting to work in accordance with them can we exit the #quarantine and its restrictions into a new life.

We are fully included in nature’s integral system. Therefore, even when we seek to harm one another in thought, in so doing we influence nature’s entire system as a whole. The very thought and desire to harm already impedes the mutual complement of the system’s elements.

For as long as we see a virus and not the Creator, it is a sign of humanity’s incorrect development. The Creator awakens in us the desire to understand Him, to reveal Him as the force of unity and bestowal. If we unify the broken parts into a system, we will discover the mutual connection and reveal the force of love and devotion.

Humanity does not understand how to progress toward an integral form, where two parts of nature are connected together into a unified system, where the Creator is revealed as the common force of correction operating in us.
The more we unite, the faster we will see how the Creator is revealed in the network of connection that we build.

The coronavirus arises in the world because we do not change in time. We are the first generation that must rise to the degree of bestowal, “faith above reason,” where bestowal is above reception. To what extent do we conform to this demand? The world is unwillingly taking on a new form!

The transition to the new state is happening for the first time and is therefore challenging, since we are all being included in a common connection, like cogwheels in a transmission device—consciously, which was not the case before. And we don’t know what to do. Everyone thinks that we should conform to the old order or state. But this will bring forth a new virus.

We are about to see great changes in the world. The world is revolving, adapting to the conditions of the last generation—gradually showing us its different sides. This is difficult and confusing to a person living today, not knowing the aims of what is happening and what form the world will assume.

Imagine that you are ten cogwheels bound together within one mechanism, in which each one spins all the rest as it turns. Before turning, I must consider how I will thereby make everyone turn, and whether this will benefit everyone. I am forbidden from making the smallest motion unless I take everyone into account.

If we don’t implement closeness among us, then instead of love between us—we reveal the coronavirus. The virus separates us from each other, showing us our unpreparedness to come close to each other. With this blow, it heals us and shows what we should do.

The virus demands for us to rise from the force of reception, from egoism, to the force of bestowal, to faith above reason, so the force of bestowal will be above the force of reception. We thus acquire the Creator’s nature and become one with Him.

At the end of correction, everyone will rise to faith above reason, to mutual bestowal, and become one system.

Any effort over egoism is a step in the spiritual work, until the efforts accumulate to a degree to become a place for the upper light’s revelation. An effort is a part of the will to receive that turns into the will to bestow.

Hence if the ego brings forth desires, they should be elevated above reason.

The #UN’s International Labour Organization warned that roughly half of the world’s workers, and that’s over 1.5 billion people, may end up destitute due to the #coronavirus pandemic. Nature will force us to restructure society to become one, integral.
Whether with suffering or self-awareness.

#Coronavirus is a consequence of us not being corrected which is already manifested on the biological level. Many problems are befalling mankind in order to convince it to leave the #ego—“Egypt.” We will either leave forcibly or in joy, as we left 49 impure (egoistic) levels.

We need a global plan for recovering human society from #egoism. We cannot close down businesses without support. For the first time in history humanity realizes that it is global, and that it needs to care about the general wellbeing. Common quarantine—common home! #COVID19

#Coronavirus changes the world, most importantly, human #consciousness. We will refer to events as “before and after Coronavirus.” Followed by relating to it as “before and after” as in “before connection with the Creator, and after our change to become similar to Him.” But, perhaps, this is for the next virus.

When one annuls himself before the Creator with the intention of giving everything to Him, annulling his self, only the Creator remains in the world. One receives only for the sake of bestowing to the Creator. i.e., he receives the whole world only to bestow to the Creator. This is the meaning of: “The whole world is created for me, and I—to bestow to the Creator.”

After Tzimtzum Aleph, the upper light shines only in the presence of a Kli—the reflecting screen. The screen is a Kli, the force of faith above knowledge. The light (knowledge) weakens the Kli (faith) and the light disappears. In order for the light not to disappear we must increase faith, the screen for knowledge.

In line with the program of creation to bring humanity to the quality of bestowal, connection, and love, we awaken the following: after #coronavirus comes heat, fires, flood, crop failure, an invasion of locusts, resulting in: illness, hunger, death…
Should we not take the need for our correction seriously?

We exist in a system of integral nature. Thus, all problems, including viruses, stem from the imbalance of this system. It makes no sense to fix the system with “props.” We must correct the source of the emergence of problems—our egoism. Humanity will soon be convinced of this!

Accepting the opinion of the upper by agreeing with it, I rise to His level. And I see how my “envelope” gets filled up with the full amount, not with money, but with the greatness of the Creator.

Faith above knowledge is the method of ascension from the material degree to the spiritual one, from the lower spiritual degree to the higher one. Faith above knowledge is the only way to exercise the freedom of choice one is given in this world.

The mind of the upper is the opinion of a group or a teacher. If I try to rise to faith above knowledge each time, it means that I ascend the spiritual degrees. If I do not make efforts to accept the reasoning of the Creator, then I won’t enter the spiritual world or even get close to it.

Knowledge is my mind in this world and the sense of what is happening here, like a judge relying on what his eyes see. Faith is above knowledge as Bina is above Malchut; in order to rise from the level of Malchut to the level of Bina, I go by faith above knowledge.

Faith above knowledge—when I accept the opinion of the upper even if it diverges from my knowledge. “They have eyes but they do not see, they have ears but they do not hear.” I can raise myself to the Creator, each time as if pulling myself up to the next degree, accepting His opinion.

#Coronavirus closes the history of the egoistic development of mankind and shows that any system, clothed in our #egoism, will produce a negative result. For these systems are intended to show us the only way of correcting—not the system—but our egoistic nature.

If we infuse the group (the ten) with the upper light, it expands to encompass the whole of humanity. Each friend contains a billion people in him. It follows that inside a ten there is an entire reality, the whole of humanity, all the worlds.

Does the work in the group affect the whole of humanity? Since there is no difference between a small group (a ten) and the whole humanity, when we awaken the upper force with our actions in the group, we affect the whole world through it. The uniqueness of the integral system is that a ten contains all parts of the world in it.

The difference between one who aspires to spirituality and one who aspires to corporeality is that the former annuls the EGO, reward from this life, whereas the latter wishes to taste both worlds, as The Zohar says: GAV of this world and GAV of the world to come. This is obvious by the way they treat others.

Having received $1,000 from a friend, one believes him, which is “faith below knowledge.” Since knowledge doesn’t contradict his faith, knowledge is more important than faith, faith doesn’t contradict knowledge. It follows that faith is below knowledge, and knowledge is more important than faith since one realizes that if faith contradicted knowledge, he would not believe it.

Individually each one is helpless in the face of one’s egoism—unable to do anything against it. But if we look at others, we get the forces to act—physically and morally. We just need the realization of the necessity, a common solution and example, like in a ten.

In the face of the #coronavirus we are all equally vulnerable. We all had to stay home, undergo the new state the same way. But once we got used to this same feeling, now, upon coming out of the quarantine, we’ll discover how different we are: rich and poor.

When leaving the quarantine, think: what would you like to take along with you into the wide-open world? How would you like to feel the world that you enter when leaving the quarantine? Maybe other people feel the same way, and you are able to change the external world?
If we don’t change the world now, will the virus revisit us? … What do we change?

The force of unity operates above all countries and boundaries. We will feel the world as transparent, having no boundaries between homes and parts of the universe. Everything will be felt as one whole, each one is connected to everyone and everyone are inside of him. We will feel the entire reality, and the Creator inside of it.

The Creator is the force of bestowal and love, and not any corporeal image. This force of love must dwell inside of us, between us. This is precisely what is called revelation, redemption, exodus from Egypt, the authentic end of correction.

The #virus is showing us how unfree we are, immersed in the ego. It is showing us our slave-like dependence on the will to enjoy, Pharaoh. We are resigned to carry out all the demands of our ego and are not aware of this. Egoism rules over our desires and thoughts, this is exactly what slavery refers to.

Exodus from Egypt is exit from ego into love between us. We want to come out of unfounded hatred and turn to face each other, with an open heart. This is revealed as general love, the exit from Egypt into the land of Israel, into a desire aimed “straight at the Creator,”to the higher force of love.

Tackling the issue of #antisemitism means scrutinizing yourself, correcting yourself. Correcting in the way of infusing the world with goodness and unity for all nations.

When the people of #Israel rise above discourse and strive toward unity, it has a positive effect on the world and reduces its animosity. An example of good connection changes the process of advancement from negative to positive. This is the solution to the problem.

The Creator is the force of bestowal and love, and not a corporeal image. It must dwell among us. This is called redemption (from the ego), exodus from Egypt. The force of unity operates above all boundaries. We will feel the world as transparent, as one whole where each one is united with everyone and the Creator is inside!
