Rabash, Letter 8: After acquiring love of friends, sparks of love shine, the heart longs and yearns for them… I come out of this world and its corporeal desires … and it seems to me that there is nothing in the world besides me and the friends… and then the I is annulled as well and dissolves in the friends.

Rabash, Letter 40: When one feels the friend’s love, joy awakens in him. Since he always knew that only he cares about himself. But when he discovers that the friend cares for him, joy awakens in him and he can no longer care for himself.

Baal HaSulam, 600,000 souls: A sign of the complete correction of the desire is when a person feels that his soul (desire) dwells in everyone and in each one. And he does not feel that he is a part separated from others, but a part that depends on everyone. And he becomes perfect, with no defect, and the light of the soul shines in him.

Mutual inclusion has a unique quality: I possessed a single strength in the system of Adam, but after the breakage I include myself into each person above the power of rejection. Each one of us becomes many times stronger than the one unit of strength in the system of Adam.

If we include our friend’s strength in us, everyone will be able to overcome their evil. Our evil comes from the broken connections between us in the system of Adam. Once the connection was broken, all that was left in us was the force of the benefit of evil.

Turning to the Creator is a prayer, a request for Him to correct what He’s broken. We’re using the fragments of a purposely broken vessel in order to learn to build it out of pieces, like children do with Legos, developing through it and growing until we receive a spiritual Kli.

The work of man is to cause the work of the Creator. We are obligating the Creator to do this work. So He does. “My sons have defeated me.” The Creator acts like we do fulfilling requests of our children. Kids plead with their parents, we need to plead with the Creator. He is awaiting our plea.

Fighting rejection, we’re building our common appeal to the Creator, demanding that He unite us. If our request reaches the needed strength, deepness, and quantity of those asking, the whole ten, once we are able to make such a request, the Creator will do the work!

There is no hidden palace of the Creator—it will become revealed if we create it. We’re building one vessel from our egoistic desires. Everyone feels mutual rejection and doesn’t want to unite. If we demand the power of unity from the Creator above it, He will bring us closer together and will become manifest in the vessel created by Him.

The goal is to unite between ourselves in the corrected tens like cells of one body, forming a benevolent influence on the Creator. This part of the broken soul of Adam will come to life and pull all the other parts with it, causing the correction of all systems of the common soul.

Egoism is constantly growing in us, demanding constant economic development. The coronavirus compels us to separate and thereby accelerates the development of the global economic crisis. The salvation lies in unity. The method of uniting everyone is Kabbalah.
If the Jews don’t implement the unity—the nations hate them!

The right intention is making efforts to help the souls come closer to each other, so the Creator will be revealed in them and will enjoy your work from dwelling in them. Our correct intention is to unite among us in our desires, so the Creator can fill them.

The importance of the quality of bestowal arises under the influence of work in the group and the study. By having the quality of bestowal, you transcend time and space; your earthly problems disappear since the quality of bestowal is the quality of the upper world. It lies above our world, the quality of reception.

You must search for a connection with the Creator—i.e., be connected with the friends in your heart, but at the same time turn your heart toward the Creator. The most important thing is to search for a connection with the Creator, originating from the way you are connected to the friends.

Rejoice at the greater egoism being revealed. If you get pushed away from connection with the friends, the group—these are signs of growing egoism. To create a connection—attract the upper light so it will create a second force in you—attraction. Thus two forces will appear in you—the right and left, to go forward.

By uniting together in a 10, we create an instrument to perceive the Creator’s field. This field starts to grow us. Like the arrow in a compass moves under the influence of a magnetic field, so we feel the field that develops us to the Creator’s degree, complete equivalence to Him.

Kabbalah doesn’t instruct us to annul the animate egoism, which allows the organism to exist like with animals. It is against egoism that’s aimed at hatred, at using and suppressing others. This is a quality only that man has. It’s this egoism that is opposite to spirituality.

Scientists: the melting icebergs are caused by internal processes at the planetary core. This destroys all the made-up ecological propaganda. Our battle shouldn’t be against parties, but against the egoism that’s common to all of us. Upbringing that is not against others, but against our egoism, will save the planet!

The #EU summit on the budget concluded with no resultthe common negotiations are only showing the differences in positions. The egoism of every EU member state is being exposed more and more, as well as the impossibility for the whole EU to think as one whole.
The period of semi-disintegration has ended with England’s exit. Total disintegration is soon to come!
#Brexit

The only way to acquire the will to bestow is to turn to the Creator with a request to give me that which I have no desire for, but wish to desire. This aspiration to the quality of bestowal is just what I lack. Then comes my request for the Creator to fill this will to bestow with His light.

Attaining the Creator comes from attaining the difference between the black quality of our nature of reception, egoism, and the white quality of the Creator’s bestowal, altruism. In order to attain the whole of the Creator, our egoism has to be revealed more and moreְְ  and to the degree that it obeys, we can feel the quality of the Creator.

Just as we cannot distinguish anything in the white light unless we write our sensations on it in black letters, so in spirituality we need to pay attention to the black letters of our egoism on a white background of the Creator’s light for the sake of unity of all forces of nature—the Creator. Only in being opposite to Him do we attain Him.

The whole of nature that the Creator has made consists of two opposite qualities in each object being studied—this is how all the connections between all parts and characteristics of the world were organized. This is the foundation of the entire creation. (Baal HaSulam)

Only from the attainment of contradictions and opposites in striving to bring them into a single system do we build the Creator within us. Revealing contradictions in the governance enables us to rejoice at the efforts to unite the opposites for the sake of unity of all forces of nature—the Creator.

We have to attain hatred and rejection in order to attain closeness and love. The most important thing is the attainment of unity between opposites!

In the measure of the distance between those who aspire to the Creator will their unity grow. In the measure of the hatred between them will love be revealed. Thus, by taking turns between rejection and unity, in the left and right lines, they will advance toward the Creator in the middle line.

The middle line is Man, IsraEl (Yashar-Kel – straight to the Creator), directing me at the Creator. The encounter with the Creator happens in the middle line, where there is no hatred or love, but there is a sensation of adhesion above them. Love is built above hatred, but adhesion is the middle line, their sum.

I must care for the balance of two opposites, not degrading hatred nor love. I attribute both forces to the Creator. I am equally grateful to Him for both of them. I incorporate both of these qualities. I feel that I am independent of them.
I build a point of connection with the Creator—in the middle line.

The middle line is the degree of creation’s adhesion with the Creator. I am neither love nor hatred. I build myself when I understand that there are two forces in existence and I prefer one over the other, since I value the Creator’s qualities more than creation’s qualities. By connecting the two lines, I build myself out of both.

At every moment I have new thoughts and a new attitude to the neighbor—in it, I feel how the Creator relates to me, what He wants to say. By wishing to bring all relationships to unity and love, I thereby respond to the Creator, I converse with Him. This is the beginning of a dialogue, a connection, with the Creator…

Do not ascribe hatred or love to yourself—you receive them from above. But always attribute yourself to the middle line, balancing hatred and love, so they will operate as one whole. One cannot exist without the other. As a creation, I exist between opposites.

When rejection from the group arises over and over again, one must understand that this is a transition to a new degree, which always starts with breakage. That is the only way we can advance and keep rising higher up the degrees of unity and love.

We must rejoice at the evil that is revealed in us: a transgression that hasn’t been revealed cannot be corrected! In one’s spiritual development, one must go through all the stages of hatred till love. It is impossible to love if one has not gone through hatred.
Our work is to turn evil, hatred, into goodness, love.

Egoism in a person comes from one’s oppositeness to the Creator, the force of bestowal, love and unity. Therefore all egoistic qualities, feelings, thoughts and desires that arise in a person are initially given to him so he can exist precisely opposite the Creator.

We are in the Creator, the field of bestowal and love. And there is none else besides Him. We can feel Him only to the extent of our equivalence to Him. If we don’t aspire to feel Him in equivalence to Him, we are urged on by the reverse, negative influence in order to move toward Him. It’s time that we understood this and became wiser

Wherever there is no reflected light, intention to bestow, clothing over direct light, there is no manifestation of direct light, the Creator, as if He does not exist. Therefore, turn all your actions toward acquiring the intention to bestow—in it you will reveal the Creator.

When a person feels insignificant, and egoism has no power over him—he can then enter the upper world. The importance of the spiritual work is measured by the sensation of descent. Because the Creator hates egoism.

Baal HaSulam: Direct all your thoughts to the Creator. Don’t do anything that does not bring you closer to Him. Hence all actions must be for the benefit of others. That is how you will reach equivalence with Him just as all of the Creator’s actions are for the good of the creatures, so should you imitate Him. You will thereby attain adhesion with Him!

Baal HaSulam: Just as the Creator doesn’t think about Himself, whether He exists or not, so one wishing to attain equivalence with the Creator mustn’t think about himself, because it is precisely in thoughts of himself that he separates from the Creator and will not reach closeness with Him and His revelation.

One who wishes to reveal life must develop his point in the heart. It is present in every person, but does not shine. This is an embryo of the quality of bestowal, the soul.But it is in the “dust”—that is, a person does not have any regard for it. One must pay great attention to develop it till the soul appears in it.

After the breaking of the soul, its broken parts, we, the creatures, are considered dead—wishing to receive only for ourselves, and therefore separated from the Creator. And only the point in the heart, a record of the reflected light, which has remained of the will to bestow supports an opportunity in us to revive ourselves.

When a person is born, the embryo of the soul called “the point” appears in him. It is found in a person’s desire, called “Heart.” Therefore the aspiration to the Creator is called “the point in the heart.”

Each of us is like a cogwheel that spins with other cogwheels in a single mechanism, without personal freedom of motion. The common movement moves the wheels toward a single goal. Any resistance to the common movement elicits a general malfunction and problem. Everyone has to reveal this!

I want to sew the friends’ desires together. If I sew the friends’ hearts with each other, connecting them stitch by stitch, I end up with a field where I’ll reveal the Creator. This is my Creator, my field, since I connected their hearts and built my soul.

Bnei Baruch is the Kabbalistic group of the new world, which is now opening the entrance into spirituality for all mankind. Behind us, we are pulling the whole world out of egoism. This is more difficult than individual ascent from egoism, but this is the work of the generation of the Mashiach (=one who pulls out of egoism).

The 9 people in front of me—is 9 upper Sefirot. I am Malchut. I restrict myself, serve them, join them, ready to do anything for them—thereby building a spiritual Partzuf. Mutual guarantee is the condition for the existence of the spiritual Partzuf, bestowal to the Creator, and reception from Him.

I can switch tens every minute—it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I annul my egoism and each time accept the ten that’s in front of me instead of my heart. This is called mutual guarantee.

Each one enters the heart of the other. We operate together like cells of one body, and attain the operation of this body in all of its connections. We thereby lift ourselves to the Creator’s degree, attaining the mechanism of this system’s activity; we lift ourselves to the comprehension of the thought of creation, to the Creator’s revelation.

I don’t care who I sit with—it’s always the same ten. There can’t be any more or less in the whole universe. Even if I sat with 8 billion people, it would also be 10, only on a greater scale, to better enable me to discover the details of one Kli. But it’s the same 10 Sefirot!

The state of the world is becoming more and more anxious. It’s because egoism, the basis of nature, is constantly developing at an accelerated rate—so the anxiety won’t go away. It will lead us either to war, or to a decision to change our nature.
Everything unfolds according to the scenario described in Kabbalah.

When a feeling of separation from the Creator arises, rejection, concealment—know that it comes from the Creator so you’ll ask Him to bring you closer to Him. And rejoice that the feeling of rejection comes from Him in order to draw you closer to Him. That is, all that is bad exists only in order to draw you closer.

A person must reach complete despair in his own forces. But this despair is precisely in himself and not in the path or the goal. The right state is when I don’t sway to the left or the right—I aspire only to the Creator’s greatness in order to attribute myself to Him.

One must be ready for polar states in order to exist in the spiritual world. It’s important to pay attention to the central point in order to maintain balance, independence, when I am not drawn to the side of good nor to the side of evil—but only to the Creator’s greatness.

The entrance to the spiritual world is unusual. It’s as if a person is being let inside, but he refuses. He examines how much does he desire spirituality. There are sometimes moments in the study when the entrance opens up to a person, but he does not wish to enter, and the Creator then has to draw him in…

A person should be grateful for the bad more than for the good, and have an equal attitude to good and bad. He will then be above the restriction, in the middle line, which does not depend on anything, and he will therefore be able to rise above his nature and be free.

Rabash: in our work we must go till the very end and then a bit more. This “a bit more” is a problem. Because you are sure that you have reached the end and you don’t believe that any more is possible. Egoism always stops us half a step to the finish line. We must try to add that half step.

We mustn’t wait for mercy from the Creator. One who works for the Creator is one who works in the place where the Creator does not awaken him or provide any stimuli—he looks for ways to add efforts on his own, like an old man looking for something he’s lost even before he has lost it.

We ask the Creator to work upon us. May He effect changes within us—implant the quality of bestowal in us, develop and teach us how to be equal to Him. We want to be the clay in the Artist’s hands—may He sculpt His likeness from us.

“The sons of Israel cried out form this work”—this is a joyful cry—we’ve been liberated from working for the will to enjoy, to which we were enslaved. We have come out to freedom! The Creator is our only hope. We are 100% dependent on him. There is no happier moment than this!

We will reveal the 4 degrees of the Creator’s love for the creatures, prepare from our side a Kli for love, which is possible only inside the group. To the degree of my love for friends, for the ten, I discover the Creator’s love for them and for me, meaning for the ten in which I am included.

If I fall—it means the Creator has pushed me down. And therefore, this descent is sweet to me. I am like a baby in its mother’s arms, annulling myself completely. A fall means that I am no longer governed by my egoism. It has lost interest in me—and I can become a spiritual embryo!

A person tried to perform actions of bestowal, to be included in the right environment, to work on dissemination—and he was disillusioned—his ego doesn’t feel profit. If he goes above egoism, then he continues to act. If pride doesn’t allow him to follow the teachers and the friends, he falls!

The world is a relationship between forces of love and hatred. We make efforts to reveal love within us, but we discover hatred, and then love is revealed again. “There is no righteous man on earth who did good and did not sin.” We reveal both forces of the world!

The four worlds of bestowal and love, ABYA, are four degrees of revelation of the Creator’s love for the creatures. The essence of the Creator does not become revealed—we do not know who He is. We reveal His attitude to us, His love. This is the Creator’s name, HaVaYaH.

As much as I am included in the ten, in love of friends, I reveal the Creator’s love for us. The Creator’s love is infinite—it depends only on the vessel, and the vessel depends on me. I might be in a group of beginners, but if I relate to them correctly, I will reveal the complete force of the Creator’s love.

Kabbalistic Haiku:
There’s no happier feeling than the powerlessness to exit the ego.
And it is also the redemption from it!

Kabbalistic Haiku:
The heart ceases to think of myself. I start to feel the friends.
Through them—the upper world. In it—the Creator.
He is that which I want! This is my prayer!

Kabbalistic Haiku:
A prayer cannot be sad.
A #prayer is anticipation of correction. A joyful despair.
I have despaired of my own forces. The Creator is my only hope.

A righteous man will fall and get up a thousand times. I may fall, but I will gain experience of how to fall and get up. When a baby learns to walk, he falls and gets up many times. We are getting closer to coming out of Egypt—every new step is more joyful even though it’s more difficult. The salvation lies in our unity.

We do not aspire to despair from the work, but when despair comes, we perceive it as a good sign. Despair is the true Kli. If one reaches despair in one’s own forces, it means a desire has been revealed over which I have no control. From this desire I can ask the Creator.

How do I persuade the Creator to help? In the times of Terach, Abraham’s father, people would pay the priest to buy false protection. This was Terach’s method, whereas Abraham’s method asserts: “Only with love!” If I want to attain spirituality, bestowal, I ask for the friend—and the Creator helps.

Praying for the friend means wanting the Creator to help him. Don’t delve into details, instructing the Creator on how exactly He must help. I pray for the friend if I am ready to give him my Kelim, so he’ll rise and correct himself with them. I am a connecting channel for him.

Spiritual progress depends on how much you assist others’ progress. You attain actions of bestowal, meaning the Creator’s actions, by helping others, obtaining permission for them to enter spirituality. You make efforts to turn yourself into a channel to awaken the friend.

If we want to attain unity like a burning fire, the fire gets ignited by the resistance of the ego-desire, which devotedly executes the resistance. Egoism’s action stops us—this is what it was created for. Even in mutual guarantee we reveal that: we have no chance of coming out of Egypt…!

With a common prayer we draw the upper force to us and rise above our egoism, which is called exodus from Egypt. The spiritual Partzuf is built out of us supporting each other for the sake of attaining the Creator. The Creator is perfect; therefore, we must also build perfection.

The only thing we have in common is the Creator, the common point of Keter. Each of us has unique qualities and we connect only above, in the Creator. When we want to unite with each other on our own, we reach despair, “the sons of Israel cried out from this work.” It is only by virtue of a common goal that we can unite.

The Ego-world is destroying the family. It doesn’t need family since family has ceased to be a foundation, a building block of society. But the Ego-world created and is now destroying the middle class. So who will care for society’s stability?

The end of the system of the world is becoming apparent. The world was considered to be moving toward a good future. But people didn’t take human nature into account—the destructive egoism. Capitalistic development of 500 years has ended with a lack of markets and anti-elite sentiments. This is leading to a world #war or a transition to #altruism.
