If the group has taken on any condition for its advancement, then I may agree with them or not, but until I come to share in the group’s opinion, I will not fulfill the law of mutual guarantee, and that means I will not be aimed at spirituality, at the goal of creation, the goal of life, the Creator, who is in the center of the group.

Mutual guarantee is the iron law of the spiritual system. At every moment it returns us to bestowal, to faith above reason, to being directed at the goal, compelling us to be included in the group and to bow down before the ten. All of this is part of the law of mutual guarantee in order to become human in the system of Adam HaRishon.

I must constantly check how much I agree with the group, with the teacher, with what Kabbalists write, and in this way, direct myself toward correction with ever-greater precision. This is what correction is, in essence.

As a result of correction, the friend and Creator merge together for me into one image. I do not differentiate them from each other because my egoism is completely corrected and cannot see differences in them. All the differences that I see around me now are depicted inside of my uncorrected egoism.

To the extent I feel a lack of mutual guarantee inside me and make efforts to attain it, extend a prayer, and include myself in the group, to this extent I advance and elevate myself from the path of suffering to the path of light.

The Creator can be revealed only on the condition that a person will change and become equal to Him. Change a part of your egoism to bestowal, and in this reverse part you will feel the Creator’s actions.
#egoism

With the help of the light that reforms, I constantly add a force to the corrected part at the expense of the corrupted part. All of this happens only on the condition of connection with the right environment, allowing me to advance.

The law of mutual guarantee operates in all of creation. We are inside the corrected system even now, but we do not see it because we judge from our own flaws, and we therefore see a corrupted system. We must see an increasingly corrected system, becoming more and more included in mutual guarantee. This is our whole work.

The law of mutual guarantee, my attitude to unity, determines all of my advancement, to what extent my path will be correct and straight, without loops and descents. Descent then becomes as a devil’s pinch—1 second, and we awaken and take a step forward.
I fall and awaken with great speed.

Our disagreements with the friend must be preserved—each one keeps his opinion. The most important thing for us is to attain unity, and we are glad that the Creator gave us the opportunity to be together. Between the two of us, we search for the quality of the Creator who includes both of us within: two opposites within one whole.

Mutual guarantee is the law of the whole of creation and the particular law of every person. If we correspond to this law, then we do not err and we advance along the shortest straight line toward the goal of creation. If I cease checking myself for mutual guarantee, then I will immediately stumble, fall, lose my way.

We do not replace one goal with another; they pull each other along: from love for the creatures, love for the Creator is born, and love for the Creator necessitates love for the creatures. They alternate at every degree until we no longer differentiate where the creatures are and where the Creator is. Everything becomes one whole.

Bestowal to man is more important than bestowal to the Creator. Love for the Creator emerges to the extent that we realize love for the neighbor—it comes from the upper light, which fills the corrected Kelim. All of our work lies in fulfilling the creatures.

We preserve the hatred and build a cover of love over it. We need both of them: “Love will cover all crimes”—it “covers” rather than destroys hatred or turns it into something else. The difference between love and hate must remain and then it will support darkness and light.

It is important that I, myself, demand the forces to restrict my egoism. I ask to be given the force to rise above my nature. That is, I wrap myself in isolation, and beyond this isolation I ask to be given the intention of bestowal. I don’t know what this is but if it is the Creator’s nature, then may He give me such qualities.

The Creator doesn’t hear one person, but at least two, if they are united. Yet He necessarily hears a ten, if it turns to Him as one person. In the spiritual world, one is ten, united as one.
#kabbalah #unity #wisdom #quotes

The greater a person, the greater his egoism. Despite the disappointment, we must help each other and rise back up—not thinking about our failures, but about how to awaken the hearts of the friends. Then we won’t have problems.
If I care for the sick friends, I will forget about my own disease.

We must break the barrier, constantly ask, demand from the Creator, with the understanding that there is no other way out. He enjoys our requests, but cannot allow us to clearly feel His reactions since we would then start to use Him egoistically, demanding “give us – give us” even greater knowledge.

When we discover the inability to turn to, pray, and be in contact with the Creator, we will understand how much we need the environment, the group, unity—only inside of it will we reveal the Creator and be able to turn to Him together. Otherwise, neither I nor the friends will reach the Creator—only all of us together.

The condition, “You won’t get it till you yell,” is the process of building our Kli. These shouts, efforts that we make together with the friends toward prayer, turn into our new spiritual vessel. A new Kli above the will to enjoy is built through contact with the Creator when He does not respond to us.

The Creator stands at the boundary of the spiritual world, and we must persuade Him to let us in. He is not our enemy, but He only insists on this condition: unity, oneness, mutual help. We must constantly make efforts toward this, striving toward a response, constantly firing into this one point.

We must attack, like in war—mobilize all means and forces for a constant plea to the Creator, never ceasing to feel that He is the one standing in our way and not letting us go. We do not feel one another, but we can feel a point that is common to us, the Creator, who obstructs our unity.

Spirituality is attained only through prayer, but the Creator won’t let us do this. To a regular person, it’s easy to turn to the Creator, but we, Kabbalists, won’t be able to simply turn to Him since the Creator wishes for us to have a real, correct, internal connection with Him, one that is precise, powerful and mutual.

The Creator deliberately gets in our way. We must plead with Him, cry out, beg, so “My sons have defeated Me” will come true. We are standing right on this threshold—and all we must do is create a common request, to persuade the Creator. He wishes and waits for it, but tolerates and restrains us, suffering more than us.

The desires of all times and all creatures will gather within us, and we will bring them to connection with the Creator. We are now realizing this mission by means of a special unity between us. Otherwise the Creator will not hear us. In the past He heard Kabbalists who studied individually, but that does not work today.

There is essentially one request: we ask the Creator for one thing, for unity. We want to unite, and from the unity we will understand that we need greater and stronger unity! The Creator must do all of this, “He who creates peace in the heavens will establish #peace among us.”

Reaching the common prayer is possible with help from above. Help from above will not come until we ask for it. Our heart of stone does not wish to feel anyone else, it is incapable of it and not ready for it. The reason is the Creator, who stands between us and does not allow us to connect, until we truly ask for it.

Nothing remains for the world except self-annihilation—this is where everything is going, or to try to at least speak about a good connection between everyone… that is all we need because our thoughts, desires, (#prayers) will change the world.
#Crisis #kabbalah #Wisdom

We already have the initial contact with Him, we are very close. The Creator only sets up conditions for us that get more difficult day by day, so we may reach the true demand to which He will be able to respond.

Wrapped in reflected light and confident about using my will to enjoy for the sake of bestowal, I can act. We are very close to realizing this. We need a few efforts for a request, a demand. If we don’t feel a reaction in response, then like a baby, we start demanding it.

The strength of connection within the ten is measured by disturbances that we can unite above. Egoism is revealed, separating us and giving rise to hatred for each other, but we begin to unite above it. Mutual rejection remains, thus we are working with both of these states.

#Hanukkah is the middle of the path: “stopped here” (hanu-po). There is still a significant and unique war ahead, but for now, having achieved bestowing desires, we are getting a respite. First, the war for the desires of bestowal, faith above reason, and then we begin to work with the desires of reception for the sake of bestowal.

We have to learn to live in both states simultaneously—between hatred and love that support each other. Hatred is the heat, the fire that incites love, and keeps fueling it more and more. There is no plus without a minus. We need to understand how to combine these opposites.

If you are able to build a relationship where, on the one side, you’re ready to “kill each other,” but above it you come to love of friends—this is called a ten, if you can’t—there is no ten as of yet. A simple condition, just two sides: love will cover all crimes.

We must rejoice at the rise of a conflict—be insightful about what the Creator is sending us. It is wonderful that He awakens enmity. All hatred comes from the breakage, a ditch crawling with snakes, but it gets revealed gradually so that we can build a layer of unity above it.

“One needs to pull away from the feeder, because it is not right for a person to eat from the same trough as a donkey.”
It means that I perceive reality not just pragmatically, primitively, like an animal, but see the melody of the Creator in it.
#wisdom #Kabbalah

We abandon all our quarrels and disagreements and begin to unite above them in the opposite way. Whatever I hated—I now love, what I used to repel—I pull closer, whomever I didn’t want to see—I can’t take my eyes off. I overcome this by building one state above another.

By turning the angel of death into a holy angel we are building the image of the Creator. All the evil that the Creator has imbedded us with we transform into His image.
#wisdom #kabbalah #Hannukah

One can’t continue the old way after Hanukkah, a new power is needed because a different light is coming. Before Hanukkah we grow in bestowing desires, in smallness, Galgalta-Einaim. We do not fight our ego but rise above it.
#Hanukkah #wisdom #Kabbalah

One should not think that a simple departure from egoism is the end of correction. The truth is that it is only a preparation for correction, which has not even begun.
#HanukkahSameach #hannukah2019

We must rejoice in the bad as we do in the good because good alone can’t build a powerful Kli. Let’s grow up and align ourselves correctly.
#Kabbalah #Wisdom #quotes

Two sides:
1. Egoism—against unity
2. Unity above ego.
Both have to exist in us. From the bottom we get the strength of desire (Aviut), from above we get the power of intention (Zakut), using both to build a vessel (Kli) for the revelation of the Creator.
#Kabbalah #unity

I must feel the Creator playing me like a violin: be sensitive, be on the lookout, and invite the Creator in. The #world is the Creator’s message to the creature in various forms: through sounds, images, colors—this is the language of the Creator. If a person understands it, he connects with creation and the Creator.

With great joy, I’m sharing with you the release of my newest book, “The Jewish Choice: Unity or #Antisemitism.” It voices all that my teachers taught me about the value of unity for the Jewish people, and it does so like no other book does. https://amzn.to/39aPm2j

Helicopter #money means that even under a threat of collapse of the global egoistic system, we are ready for anything except the cure for egoism. In such a situation, it is clear that only the spread of Kabbalah will change the #world.

The disease of discord rages in the body of the people of Israel, while healing lies in the opposite condition—in our unity. Healing consists of building relationships based on the great principle: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
#AntiSemitism #Hanukkah #Israel 🇮🇱

Franz Stangl, the commander of the concentration camps Sobibor and #Treblinka: “I am confident that everything that has happened was Divine providence. It had to be that the Jews needed some incredible compulsion to unite and become a real nation.”
#AntiSemitism #Jewish

#Hanukkah, the festival of lights, is taking place in troubled times in 2019 as #AntiSemitism. Semitism is coming down on the Jews around the world once again. Our existence is a miracle after all the persecution throughout history. The seething anti-Semitism will not stop and hatred of the #Jews will escalate.

The essence of the Jews lies in their mission to the world—to achieve an example of unity over divisiveness. Until we unite, bringing humanity to a positive connection, the nations of the world will hate us. There is no greater national divide than with the Jews.
They are the ones who must become an example of unity to all the nations.

We, Jews, must show the world that we can unite over hostile divisions in society. By becoming an example of how to unite, we pass the positive unifying forces to humanity and engender a positive attitude toward us.

Today we’re reaching a new global scale of anti-Semitism, which is unprecedented, because the world is more globally integrated. #Antisemitism is becoming a natural phenomenon in non-Jews: they subconsciously expect the Jews to begin connecting people in a positive way.

About 3,800 years ago in ancient Babylon, Abraham gave us the name “the people of Israel” (“Isra-El” from the words “Yashar-El,” meaning “straight to the Creator”). We were later called #Jews – “Yehudi” from the word “unity, united.” [Yaarot Devash, Part 2]

In the 2010s, after a surge of #Antisemitism—anti-Semitic crimes and threats, along with anti-Semitic sentiments, all of the present signs point to the next Holocaust emerging in the United States. But I don’t see the #Jews having an adequate response to this message.

To prevent a future anti-utopian scenario for the Jewish people in the US and other countries, we must unite, according to the principle “love others as yourself,” and become the “light to the nations,” that is, a conductor transmitting the positive unifying force of nature into the world.

As #egoism grows, the tension between it and the point in the heart increases, i.e., hostility and #hate toward Jews is growing inside people. The internal relationship between the point in the heart and the heart is reflected externally in the relationship between #Israel and the nations of the world.
#Jewish

– Why do Jews in #Israel and abroad identify with those who want to delegitimize their home?
– The Jews are trying to avoid fulfilling their destiny of being “a light onto the nations,” looking for ways to erase, hide their roots. But according to the science of #Kabbalah their spiritual root is eternal.

Baal HaSulam writes that “in every person, even secular, there is a certain spark that calls for unity with the Creator.” It awakens a person toward the attainment of the Creator or toward His denial—and this, according to Baal HaSulam, is one and the same.
#Kabbalah

A spark is a “point in the heart” in every person in the world from the single soul (Adam), which is more visible among the Jews. The heart is a manifestation of self-love or egoism, while the point in the heart is a spark striving for love of others.
#Jewish #Kabbalah

-What is the border-line between criticism of #Israel and #antizionism?
-Criticism may be voiced if it’s not venomous. Full freedom of speech for all who call for peace should be allowed. But peace cannot be reached through destruction, and certainly not through anti-Semitic hype.

In place of #Antisemitism, a newfound glory and fulfillment will arise that will spread through the Jewish people to the whole of humanity, turning anti-Semitic sentiments into its opposite: support, respect, and mutual appreciation.
#Jewish #kabbalah #Israel 🇮🇱

🇮🇱The role of the nation of #Israel is to unite and pass the method of connection to humanity. They lack awareness of their noble role and the weight of their responsibility to the world. When Jews unite and spread unity around the world, #Antisemitism, boycotts, and accusations will cease.

Everything is resolved in thought. Again and again, the Creator lets us feel our disunity, more and more, and we once again try to connect and attain unity. That is how we gradually advance, until it accumulates to the full measure.

One should rejoice at seeing one’s flaws on the background of the 10. I am constantly discerning what I lack to become like this friend, and like that one, since “the envy of the sages increases wisdom”—we therefore have something to ask, until our pleas turn into a real prayer

Arvut is the key to success and the only thing lacking in the system of Adam HaRishon after the breaking in order to reconnect it. All the parts of the soul are present, like parts of an engine—we must only assemble them together in the right way. We must bring the parts closer to each other and bring them into the common operation.

The world Bnei Baruch group is the part of the common soul that is now receiving an awakening from the common illumination in the world. We have gathered and organized a group that wishes to reveal the Creator. He brings a person to the group, places his hand on the good fate, and the choice is mine: to take the path of light or suffering.

We are standing on the side of egoism before an abyss, and on the other side—there’s freedom from Pharaoh, from the pursuit of self-interest. When we come to feel that egoism keeps us enslaved and wish to leap over the abyss, to run away from Pharaoh, to be free, then we will cry out. The cry is the redemption.

We all share one fate since by our actions in the group we awaken the common illumination, which is revealed inside our connection as a sensation of the upper force. This sensation is coming closer and closer, since every day we correspond more to the conditions necessary to feel the Creator together.

The future exists only in order for us to annul it and draw it into the present. For that I have to imagine that the Creator controls me at every moment and for me there is no next moment, since I am completely in His authority.

“The long path is short, and the short path is long.” The Creator wants us to see ourselves not as the righteous who have nothing to correct but as sinners, and to rise above our defects, above our separation and inability to bestow.
#Kabbalah

The horse’s freedom of will lies in working against his desire—that is where he reveals freedom of choice: always being in the Creator’s authority, in adhesion with Him. The state cannot be frozen—it is always changing. I must change myself, remaining in constant adhesion with the Creator.

A person for whom the present and future are the same thing feels that he already exists in the revelation of the Creator now, meaning everything that happens is a manifestation of the upper force’s actions.

“Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before”—in the Creator’s revelation and concealment. “His Kingdom rules over all”—everything will return to its root, “There is no place that is free from Him”—the difference is, whether it’s in the “present” or in the “future.” One who merits uniting both worlds reveals them in the “present.”

It is an error to think that I decided or did anything wrong in the past, which led to a bad state today. By that I deny the Creator’s singularity, asserting that His governance did not exist in the past and I was in control. It’s forbidden to regret about the past. I must adhere to the present.

I reveal that I am a sinner and strive to become righteous. The righteous is the one who justifies the Creator. Nothing is required of us except this justification—everything else is done from above.
#Kabbalah

I decide whether the path is long or short based on the ability to justify the Creator. I may be at the very beginning of the path, but I attach myself to the Creator completely. It is not the state itself that matters to Him but our efforts, for we cherish a baby’s efforts in trifling matters and are touched by them more than by teenager’s achievements.

The Creator always controls us, like a rider controls a horse, leading it toward goodness. If I reveal the good upper governance, then the difference between the present and future disappears for me—everything ends at the present moment. As soon as I attain adhesion with the Creator, time disappears.

One can be detached from the Creator, but this is an opportunity to show one’s devotion and closeness to Him. Thus, the long path becomes short. While the short path becomes long if one thinks that he’s already close to the Creator. Judging based on the ability to justify the Creator—we’ll reach correction.

It is written that the Creator is near to those whose heart is broken. The heart breaks when I understand that I cannot break it by myself. I must exert many efforts to agree that my heart is really made of stone, and only the Creator is able to break it so love may enter.

We are building a bridge of love paved above an abyss of hatred. Hatred, combined with love, gives us the understanding and sensation of that which is called the Creator—a unique quality of connecting irreconcilable differences.

Out of two extremes that negate one another, a single force is born that is not from this world, “the light that reforms”—it builds the connection between us, allowing us to understand what the Creator is.
As a result of the opposition of two forces—love and hatred, and their union, the middle line, the Creator emerges.

Arvut is a special connection, the right connection between broken desires, hearts. Not one person, but as one, as if one desire. Inside, only a deep difference between one and the other remains, polar opposition and hatred, covered by love.

The world is one system in which we unconsciously carry out its laws. We must include ourselves in it consciously, intentionally taking part in its management. The system is broken, tangled, and is revealed at the lowest degree, “this world.” We have to unite this system until we attain the Creator’s degree.

I have to make efforts so the light will come and unite our ten into a spiritual Partzuf. The light connects us into one creation, Malchut.

Mutual guarantee is the sensation of the common network and us inside of it. The common network is the common soul, Adam HaRishon, and we are its parts. Every person is a part of the common desire.
We are all connected by mutual guarantee, fused into one soul filled by the Creator. The common system is the spiritual degrees, worlds.
