In the material network it’s we that are important. Humanity thinks that by building such a network, we advance. But every time we attain unity, we reveal the inner breakage of egoistic unity—ushering in war and misery. Egoistic unity is required to recognize its harm.

If one remembers the “condition for the right appeal to the Creator,” that he can’t ask for himself since that’s selfish and not for the group, he evokes the Creator’s “backward” reply, harming himself. But the Creator’s backward side also gradually teaches one the right appeal..

Hence beware of appealing to the Creator before you arrange your relationship with the group, aim yourself at unity, see everyone as one whole. Only by imagining that you connect all the hearts can you turn to the Creator from that single heart. That will be the right prayer.

Don’t think that the condition “love your neighbor as yourself” is carried out by upper light only at the end of correction. All our work starts with this effort, and proper actions and appeals to the Creator are built only upon it, through all 125 degrees—and He corrects it!

Building relationships of mutual guarantee in a 10, we start to feel the net connecting us, which turns into 10 Sefirot, a spiritual Parztuf.
That’s how we fulfill the condition for revealing upper light, the Creator’s manifestation in creation, in the ten as in one single whole.

Although we don’t uphold mutual guarantee, from above we are treated as if we uphold and transgress it, as one body (Partzuf of Adam). If one person transgresses, everyone is held liable since everyone is in one boat. Hence one must always ask for everyone rather than for oneself

Our time is characterized by aggression by previously persecuted color-, sex- and ethnic-minorities toward their former persecutors. This leads to violence.
Kabbalah advises: “Love will cover all sins”—we must develop only love. Otherwise lawlessness and violence will prevail!

Several EU countries (and Trump!) refused to sign UN’s treaty on “orderly” migration since it leads to an influx of illegals and undermines their sovereignty.A coalition has formed in EU opposing Germany’s and France’s globalist obsession. A war of pro- and anti-globalists is coming.

Before Trump, US policy was up to the world’s financial elite, in control of world economy. Since 2008 it’s clear we can’t keep living by financiers’ laws. The alternative: capitalistic progress, national production, duties.
What’s ahead: Trump’s victory or America’s fragmentation?

If there was no darkness, we wouldn’t feel the light. Hence darkness and light have to exist simultaneously, as two opposite sides of one phenomenon. Otherwise we wouldn’t discern reality or feel that we exist. Our existence is based on the contrast of light and darkness.

All “bad” states during the day come only to give us a chance to discern light on their background. Light is the quality of bestowal, a good attitude to the friend for the sake of the common goal, not for self-profit. Darkness to me is the background to discern light, unity, Creator.
Otherwise we don’t correspond to the spiritual network, and it will pressure and push us to unity.

The right connection always goes to/from the Creator through the group: not directly from me to the friend, but to build the soul’s Partzuf out of ten or as many as the Creator brings to the group.
… the place of the Creator’s revelation. Not IN us but BETWEEN us.

Each one must think only about the common net, the group’s wellbeing, personal responsibility for everyone’s connection. There’s no other spiritual work besides unceasing yearning to unite everyone. These connections between us will become a Kli …
Better not to ask for anything than to ask for me.

Before turning to the Creator, one must sort out his relations with friends on the path of spiritual progress.
If I turn to the Creator for me, an egoist, then I destroy instead of building
My appeal causes good or evil in the world.

We thank for darkness just as light since it’s a necessary condition to reveal the Creator to creatures. If we don’t overcome our reluctance to move, disappointment, thoughts of self-love, i.e., the sensation of darkness as the start of building a Kli, we’ll never become human.

Observance of Torah and Commandments is possible only to the extent of unity; without unity, observance of Torah is impossible. That’s because observance of Torah is in desire, and only to the extent of mutual guarantee (Arvut).

Appreciate darkness, which leads to the goal of creation. See light on the background of darkness.
Darkness is what was created to discern light. Hence dark states are more valuable than light ones. Ego doesn’t want darkness and hence we must be more happy about it than light. Don’t value states by how pleasant they are.

Experience allows us, after going through darkness, to anticipate the upcoming revelation of light.

We can recognize, discern and reveal the quality of the Creator’s light only inasmuch as we attain opposite qualities of darkness.
We must thus undergo all states of darkness, opposite to light.

Practically: I must discern a need for connection-bestowal-love-Creator.

All the wisdom of Kabbalah is about how and what to ask of the Creator.
I ask Him (pray) for changes in me—this is man’s work.
The Creator fulfills my proper requests—this is the Creator’s work (Avodat HaShem).

At first it seems like the mind will show the right way to spiritual work. But the way of reason is ego wandering in desires (matter, like a donkey, Hamor, Homer, wanders in a field). Reason serves desires, helping attain what they want. Hence Kabbalah shows the way above reason.

On the spiritual path one finds himself lost in the field of work. Where is he? What’s required of him?
If he reveals that the way to the goal is greater unity with friends in the group, then he’s on the right path if he turns to the Creator for help through connection with friends.

Nationalism isn’t racism. It can consolidate a society or nation, and not necessarily against someone else. Decline of nationalism causes a nation to be divided in other ways. Thus, “democracy” is obsessed with valuing and dividing by color and origin, emphasizing “pluralism…”

… and in it you’ll find the way to Me.” The field of our connection is the soul. Its filling is the Creator.

One feels that he strayed from the path, seeing broken desires preventing connection with friends, and he calls out to the Creator. Searching in the field, he finds the Creator, who tells him, “Ask friends for help to find the thread of connection with them ….

The drive for a long, active life is the new religion.
Erasing all irrational things from life and ensuring the longest lifespan is now life’s purpose.
Health is most important, rather than fulfillment by purpose beyond the bounds of bodily existence.
Turn off our brains & work out!

The so-called “democratic” (power by the people) nations give people freedom, but by allowing free movement of capital, they make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Egoism and the upper class’s power are once again leading to the demise of countries!

The right work is when I awaken the Creator to connection (although underneath He is always first). If I reveal the path of light, it changes the world.
If I don’t awaken the Creator, He awakens me: light that would have shone and filled me, now acts as darkness, the opposite side.

Mutual guarantee is my insurance policy, guaranteeing that I’ll continue the spiritual path if I care for others, forgetting myself. Only the condition of constantly caring about bringing the group and world to the Creator, instead of myself (Arvut) guarantees spiritual progress.

Those not doing spiritual work suffer from revelation of ego, evil. They want to ignore it, cover their eyes with their hands like children. But Kabbalists, like adults, understand that the Creator made evil so man will reveal Him above it. There’s nothing extraneous in creation!

A sign of proper work is joy from the sinners being revealed in me. I’m happy about evil being revealed in me since it’s a result of my work. I don’t annul it, but rise above it. That’s the difference between a Kabbalist who works for the Creator and one who doesn’t work for Him

We can’t rise to the degree of love and bestowal until hatred, rejection, is revealed. Above them we build the right line: unity, love, closeness, mutual understanding, as written, “Love will cover all sins.” If there are no sins, there is no love—they must grow one after the other.

Building new senses of perception to reveal the spiritual world means building connections between us in which we can reveal the Creator and thus give Him joy. This new perception is called “faith above reason,” the degree of Bina, bestowal, an altruistic intention.

The upper degree is called faith and is based on bestowal. The lower degree is called reason, based on egoistic
reception. I must sense their contradiction, receiving both from the Creator. I’m between them. Through them I want to cling tighter to Him, who “created the sky and earth.”

A spiritual person is someone who has 2 degrees:
– the natural, egoistic feelings and reason.
– above them, spiritual sensations and reason, aimed at bestowal.
He is between them. The more he expands his spiritual feelings and reason, the greater are his egoistic mind and heart.

I need nothing more, all degrees of faith are built above the growing ego.

Having gained the 1st faith above reason, the thread connecting me to the Creator, I want to stay there. But ego is revealed: it protests, lowers me and compels me to reach greater faith above reason.
The basis of faith is the thread connecting me to the Creator.

The basis of ego-progress disappears, but if one doesn’t quit Kabbalah, he gains the quality of bestowal, faith. One needs only to know: I am connected to the Creator. Like King David: when left with nothing, he saw only a sign of his covenant with Him and relaxed, not needing more.

Work above reason contradicts material feelings and reason and cannot be accepted in our world, in the will to enjoy alone. This work requires an additional desire—to bestow, a higher degree. Spiritual work takes place on two contradictory degrees.

Humanity develops toward integral connection through cycles of convergence-separation. After WWII, people are once again drawn to isolation, nationalism. Only by forging a connection between people above their egoism can we implement integration without war, on a higher degree.

Capitalist countries have changed their taxation systems so that wealth is now distributed from the poor to the richest. The paradox of democratic societies is: people are given rights yet unprecedented wage inequality is created. Free movement of capital has enslaved the economy.

The world is in despair…
It can acquire reason and forces
Only through unity…
#California

For centuries religion lay claim to spirituality. But ego outgrew religion, now replaced by worship of a healthy lifestyle, with no room for life’s purpose past bodily existence. Healthy lifestyle is now religion and man is evaluated by health parameters. It’s the end of progress!

Stress is contagious. Do we all affect one another and infect each other with stress?
Kabbalah explains the laws of the network, our total interconnection.
When we understand this system, we can manage and influence it in order to promote it toward a good state.

The Creator is a Force revealed in connection (mutual guarantee) of broken parts of creation. On all levels of spiritual nature we reveal the degree of mutual guarantee or its lack. We live and feel inside this. The broken parts must only implement mutual guarantee between them.

The Torah is founded upon the principle of mutual guarantee, explaining how parts must interconnect to reach balance with the general Force of nature called “Creator”—the force of universal connection of all parts of the universe in mutual harmony and mutual balance.

I go through ascents and descents.
If I lack forces from the group, I want to connect to it better—so I turn to the Creator for help with mutual guarantee.
If I aim at the Creator, I turn to the friends, receive forces from them and realization of His importance—and turn to Him.

Please see my article on #Pittsburgh tragedy >>

The nation of Israel can change not only its own fate, but the fate of the whole world. By changing our relationships from hate to brotherly love, we’ll reach spiritual ascension that Kabbalah talks about. By that we will evoke positive changes in the world.

One who goes by faith above reason, above him, becomes wiser since his perception expands.
One who goes below reason, without analyzing his perception, remains with nothing but memories.
We must give each friend the feeling of mutual guarantee, in which all worries are extinguished.

Creator (Boreh) means come and see (Bo-Reh). I can see Him in my new feeling and reason, which I form according to qualities of bestowal that are opposite to me. That’s how faith above reason—the Creator’s qualities—is built above my ego.

Unlike corporeality, in spirituality we have no chance to consider our opinion and feeling. We must rejoice at being able to advance above reason and sensation. If we advance in reason and feeling, agreeing with them—it’s a materialistic approach. Nothing spiritual will sprout from it.
It’s a great obstacle to work without energy, reason, spiritual understanding and sensation. But we must do it despite our inability to carry it out.
And we needn’t carry it out—we must try. When we see that we can’t, we’ll unite our desires and ask for energy, understanding and sensation

In spirituality one must start the work even before having energy for it. We can’t unit—but must make efforts. We are unable to understand something—but must act as if we understand. That’s how we advance.

The difference between faith and knowledge in Kabbalah and regular life is: Kabbalah reveals nature beyond time, space and motion. Hence earthly logic doesn’t work in it and we therefore can’t understand what is “faith above reason.” For that we must rise to the Creator’s nature.

The Creator deliberately creates problems in the group. He shows me a movie—which doesn’t really exist! The Creator shows me that the group exists, suffers, has problems etc. What for? For me to turn to Him. Yes, it’s in order for me to turn to Him.

Having passed the first stages of spiritual development, the student starts feeling them inside: “I’ll know You from Your actions in me.” He gains experience and acquires reason, as written,”Wisdom comes only with experience.” Gradually the student will be able to advance by himself.

In Kabbalah the teacher leads the student like an adult teaches a baby to walk. The teacher walks together with the student, giving him his reason, and the student follows the teacher like the body follows the head. Of course, this is possible only inasmuch as the student agrees to annul to the teacher.

Everything is relative to me.

Religious faith is psychological, unsubstantiated conviction. When there’s proof, it becomes knowledge, not faith. To a Kabbalist, the Upper Force is knowledge, attainment. Before revealing it, it’s not there, like an undiscovered scientific phenomenon to a scientist.

And then in mutual bestowal—love, Gadlut.

The difficulty of spiritual progress to equivalence with the Creator is that one must become increasingly more similar to Him “in group unity,” meaning by each person annulling to the group to turn the group into one whole, similar to the Creator by annulling ego, Katnut.

One who studies Kabbalah sets out on the path of acquiring a new nature in spite of the previous one, faith above reason. This becomes continually more difficult, but that’s the nature of the degrees of ascension to the Creator by equivalence of form.

The Creator deliberately creates problems in the group. He shows me that the group exists, suffers, and has problems—so I would ask Him for them. In reality, everything I see is my soul, my inner egoistic world. I ask not for others, but for my soul!

The main thing is to perceive all of the group’s problems and ask the Creator for them. Everything that’s bad in the group—feel it in you and ask the Creator to correct it, to help the group come closer to Him. I only ask and I don’t need anything else. This is the best prayer.

We must assess all actions this way: Would the Creator act like this? If yes, but He didn’t, then He left it for me to do. Then I act instead of the Creator and start feeling that I occupy His place. I thus become equal to Him and am called Adam, meaning similar to the Creator.

Ego is harmful relations between souls that used to be tied by good bonds and mutual help, but then the connection broke and turned into mutual hate, rejection, egoistic use of each other. This is what we must correct. The Creator will be revealed in the connection of #souls.

All our actions and appeals to the Creator are to connect the individual broken souls—desires that scattered from the common soul of Adam and fell from that quality. No individual soul is broken or egoistic by itself. It’s their connections that are broken and we need to correct.

If the group doesn’t follow the teacher’s advice to unite in spite of its ego-desires, then it doesn’t build itself by Kabbalah’s laws. It’s not a Kabbalistic group but a philosophy club where people study to satisfy their egos. Faith above reason is acquired only against oneself.

After 18 years in office #Merkel decided to step down from the post of Chancellor in 2021. She wasn’t Europe’s savior, her ideas (boosting Euro-integration and EU unity) aren’t met favorably.
But how will the accrued problems and migration crisis be solved?…it’s going to get ugly!

It’s time to practically realize all the theoretical knowledge received over many years. We aren’t able to, in order to ask for each other, since only the Creator can help us. This is why He sends us all the states and the teacher and books explain it. We try—and ask the Creator.

The contradiction grows with each spiritual degree, until the 125^th.

The spiritual path lies in faith above reason, knowledge received from the teacher on how to proceed against my own. So just be guided by the upper one’s opinion, while keeping your own. Their difference is the height of my spiritual degree.

US Jews thought #antisemitism existed, but not in the USA.
They’re quick to forget anti-Semites, but they’ll be reminded more often. It’s time for “the final solution to the Jewish question.” Kabbalah suggests: by giving the world an example of unity! The nations are waiting for it!
