Baal HaSulam, “The Peace”: The Creator prepared a trap for mankind, and no one will escape it, but will have to take on the work of the Creator until reaching the goal He has set. This is the Creator’s guarantee to Himself that He will not be deceived by the created being.

On Tammuz 17 Moses broke the tablets—Talmud, Shabbat 87: Blessed be that he broke them, for we will receive the light of the Torah. On Av 9, Temples 1 and 2 fell —Midrash Eicha: The fall is the preparation for the 3rd Temple, the unity of the whole world, and for all eternity.

The most effective method to engage the upper light is through unity: we draw the upper light directly from its source. When we unite, we focus the upper light on us like an iris diaphragm. In this way, we can pass through descents and ascents with greater power and speed.

Kabbalah is increasingly drawing the upper light. As a result, we feel more selfish, and the world feels darker—this is how the evil inclination manifests. It is revealed only to those who use the source of the upper light, which grows their desire above the animal level.

The goal of Kabbalah is to draw the upper force from the Creator: in order to feel a genuine need to exit the evil inclination that separates us from each other and distances us from the goal, by detracting us—the upper forces increase it in every possible way.

When our actions engage the light, we feel changes. By studying and disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah and working in the group, we notice that we grow worse, see evil in ourselves and around, have ups and downs with respect to the properties of bestowal, connection, love, the Creator.

Ordinary #egoism is not an evil inclination, but our nature, in which we are born and grow. If a person does not engage in Kabbalah, he has neither a good, nor bad effect on his nature. After all, a change in one’s nature occurs only with the help of the light that created it.

Baal HaSulam, “The Peace”: Each state lasts until the evil in it ripens to the extent that it becomes unbearable, at which point it will have to be destroyed, and a better one built in its place. Thus the states alternate, until they become evil-free.

Baal HaSulam, “The Peace”: Each state has a strictly defined length of time, required for the growth of the degree of evil contained in this state, to such an extent that society can no longer bear it.

#BaalHaSulam Evaluation of good and evil depends on the goal of creation: every state nearing the goal is positive and distancing from the goal—negative. The law of development says that a defect and sin included in a certain state cause the appearance and construction of a good state.

Baal HaSulam, “The Peace”: The law of development embossed in mankind by the Creator pushes us forth. Incorrect behaviors themselves engender and create positive states. In fact, each good state is nothing but the fruit of the labor of a previous negative state.

Baal HaSulam: The Creator made the world for people so that with His help they reach the exalted goal of merging with Him. All that the Creator predetermined in the creation and gave to people was not given as a gift. The Creator secured our reaching His goal with a guarantee.

#BaalHaSulam, “The Peace”: Circulation of souls. Although it seems that everything that exists disappears, there are circulations; and no particle is at rest, for it is in constant motion in the circulation of the change of form, all the while losing none of its essence along the way.

#BaalHaSulam—Souls don’t disappear, but change the desire-bodies until final correction. There are no new fulfilled souls that get renewed like body-desires. A certain number of desire-souls undergo incarnations in a changed form, dressing in new desire-bodies in a new generation

The Galei TZAHAL radio station issued an apology for broadcasting 2 news stories in January 2017 in the “Good Morning, Israel” show slandering the non-profit Bnei Baruch—Kabbalah L’Am Organization.

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning for the broken collective soul abandoned by the Creator’s upper light. We don’t wish for Him to return, to restore the broken soul—that is the destruction and the crime to regret. You have to lament the ruined Temple, the broken soul, within you.

The Treatise of Jonah: The 2nd Temple was destroyed by unreasonable hatred. Despite studying the Torah, Commandments, Charity—not selflessly, but for a reward. This means their efforts were not for unity. That’s why their work turned from the elixir of life into a deadly poison.

The destruction of the Temple occurs daily: If it is not spiritually restored—it is still in ruins! This is easy to see in our relationships: Not only do we not wish to be closer, but we constantly reject each other—thereby distancing the Upper Light of goodness and love.

We don’t want to correct ego-nature and build good relationships, the Temple. It’s done thru the awareness of the destruction. We don’t want unity, for we are the outcome of destruction. Hence, everyone understands self-interest and builds well-being on the destruction of others.

In spirituality, the root of the evil force is the 9th of Av. Great grief and misfortunes fell on this date. Their common cause is our unwillingness to oppose it with good. By moving away from each other, we repeatedly open the source of evil—then we fight with the consequences.

If we define the “state and nation of Israel” correctly, we’ll start living beyond differences, by the principle “love others,” since love has no boundaries, and anyone who wants to live by it will find a place—the borders will expand, the idea—love of others—will unite the world

The condition for Israel’s existence isn’t enemies, wars and victories, but unity!
#Israel #TishaBAv

In The Writings of the Last Generation, the 20-century Kabbalist Baal HaSulam writes about the goal, the spiritual foundation of the people of Israel—the need to strive for unification and equality among all nations, and not for superiority of one flag or language over another

Replacing gold with paper money brought our relationships out of balance and gave rise to crises. After all, there is no real value in rags. The solution: to return to the standard of our world, reception. Or, immediately switch to the spiritual standard, bestowal. We’ll have to.

It is written that the 3rd Temple will descend off-the-shelf from heaven. Meaning, due to our efforts in unity, we will receive from above, from the Creator’s rung, Bina, the force of oneness and love. It will unite us and the power of love called the Creator will manifest among us.

Today, on Av 9, destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples, we are clearing the place for their restoration. Clearing the place is removing ourselves from self-interest. In this free space, build the Temple—the sensation of the Creator, as the only governor of the world, in FAITH ABOVE REASON.

-What obstacle are you facing?
Between you and the Creator?
-It is only you.

Rising above oneself, REASON, on the path to the Creator,
can be done only by the efforts in FAITH ABOVE REASON
that the Creator is in everything.

Today is Av 9,Temples 1 and 2 destruction day. It should be a day of sorrow, but there’s none! Why Temple? A temple isn’t a building, but the unity of hearts in love. Unification of separated hearts is called the restoration of the Temple, or the soul, where the Creator is revealed

Exercise: To constantly strive to be in FAITH ABOVE REASON. It means to strive to imagine how the Creator governs the world, you, and everything that takes place. FAITH is stronger than the world we see—REASON. Gradually, the Light that Reforms will reveal the Creator.

Exercise: The sense of the world (evil) is called REASON. The idea that the world is governed by the Creator, who is good, is FAITH. It is necessary to be in constant awareness of both perceptions of the world, EVIL and GOOD, in parallel, which means to be in FAITH ABOVE REASON.

The temple is the embodiment of not only Israel’s but all nations’ unity. So it has a place for them. If the nations opposed the Temple it wouldn’t stand an hour. Hence, it was destroyed not by the nations of the world but by the hatred among the people of Israel (Maharal MiPrag)

Av 9, the day of the destruction of the Temple, should be regarded as an awareness of the destruction of love among the people of Israel, i.e., the strife to restore the Temple of connection. It’s written: the day of the destruction of the temple is also the day of its restoration

Memory doesn’t exist. We are in the sea of the upper light and receive information from it according to our equivalence. That’s what is called memory. Everything exists in the upper light and depends on the degree of equivalence with it, up to being able to extract any states from it.

Liberal politicians are nervous, sensing the familiar world is crushing: markets, banks, middle class will vanish. Consequently, the liberal media will lose their control over society. They’ll be replaced by new politicians and leaders—not speech-makers, but the business type.

If I saw that by affecting others, I’m affecting myself myself, I would be nice to everyone by necessity, in fear to hurt myself. But Nature wants to bring us to the unconditional type of love, which is free of self-interest (“ahava lo tluya badavar“).

We must always think that our connection with the Creator never stops although it is hidden from us. The Creator is found within our connection, and whether the Creator is revealed or concealed depends solely on our relationships.

In the group we are connected by desires and thoughts and are affecting each other. Together, we also affect the Creator, who fills our desires and thoughts, moving nearer or farther away accordingly, as per the law of equivalence of form.

Requests to the upper force differ in their aspiration toward correction. Although our connections are broken, as well as with the Creator, these connections exist, if only in a concealed form. A proper request motivates the upper to help the lower to reach the goal.

Only with a request can one get help from above—the force to resist the desire for self-pleasure, which allows one to rise above the ego and stay above it in faith above reason. So, the entire work is solely in the request! This is the only channel connecting us with the Creator.

Liberalism is dead
With our qualities, we can’t change the world for the better. But people will come to realize that we must live above the evil nature. This must be the 1st amendment to the Constitution. We must start scrubbing our hearts. Such a constitution will bring us to good.

Escape from #Facebook
We need a genuine social network with the main message being—to unite over our differences.
People will never resolve their conflicts, but we can find common interests on a higher level, in our collective ascent above ourselves.

All man’s qualities are necessary in order to achieve the equivalence with the Creator, but one must understand how each of them needs to be changed so he can reach this goal.

#Trump represents a turning point. He’s not the one doing it: “Kings’ hearts are in the Creator’s hands.” The world hit a dead-end, for liberalism, based on democracy, as it were, wore itself out. That’s because its development is rooted in self-interest and brought nothing good.

As usual, self-interest has good intentions reversed. #European #democracy will be replaced by #Nazi regimes. Unless we begin the process of man’s correction, the #liberal regimes will turn into the #fascist ones. Ultimately, power is all the liberals want!

Democracy has passed its peak. Its final form is fascism. But while it is crumbling, there’s still a chance to convince the world that there is no alternative development but to rise above ego (the method of Kabbalah). Otherwise, we will face a global concentration camp and demise.

Any egoistic union results in a collapse.
This is how any social experiment ends.
Before undertaking building any society, it is necessary to have man’s ego corrected first;
but even then—only in the degree of such a correction.

The first stage in the correction of our nature is the awareness of the evil. It comes with suffering. Why one suffers needs to be explained. Like when in pain, he goes to a doctor. And there will be a way to cure the ailment: to avoid annihilation and come to a peaceful life.

Humanity has no shortage of anything except good relations between people. If we are worried about tomorrow and do not want to come to a serious crisis in the nearest #future, we must start learning today how to bring people together.

#Trump and #Putin have to agree to stop using force, be it the #military, #political, #economic, #financial, or any other. We must completely abandon the use of force as a problem resolution technique and start applying the Kabbalah method as man’s correction.

No-one has a solution and no-one knows where the next blow is going to come from. We don’t even have the means to prepare for it. The previous laws that we lived by no longer work. That is the predicament Nature has placed us in.

The situation in the world has become so menacing that it forced #Trump and #Putin to agree to meet—not to settle personal differences, but to prevent a global collapse.

Trump’s program and objective derive from the strategic economy. The US has only their own market, because the production is exported abroad. Hence, the country can operate only with duties, balancing its markets with foreign manufactures. Trump’s action exactly.

In our brain, there is a small operating memory. All memory is outside of us. In one and a half years, the RAHU received from the ARI not the content for dozens of books on Kabbalah, but a technique to connect to the Soul. Later, he presented these materials in his books.

The teacher taught how to connect to the Soul and receive information from it. This is the Book of Heaven. The teacher who was providing the connection points to link with the Soul, the Book of Heaven; whereas the student, by doing his work, connected to the common memory.

Memory is not a memory zone in our brain. We connect to a common brain that is in a common desire. A person who is connected with it, receives information therefrom. When he disconnects, he forgets. Therefore, in the past they did not write anything down.

We are at the beginning of the era of change—not the external, but the internal one. The crisis is in us, in our lack of understanding of what exactly we need to change. As well predicted by Kabbalah, it’s time for man to adapt to nature, not the other way around.

Kabbalists experience the Creator as:
-the source of all events, which they call revelation “geula
-a weakness, concealment, which they call exile, “galut.”
The Heart is the Temple:
it is occupied either by the Creator, love of others, or by an idol, selfishness.

I just published “What Happens When We Die?

#Prayer is a request for the impossible, which only the Creator can do. Otherwise people don’t turn to Him! It’s therefore a request for something unnatural—to acquire a soul, the quality of the upper world, to be as the Creator: the quality of bestowal and love.

If people discovered their total dependence on one another, as parts of one body, they would take care of one another. They would unwillingly be in mutual love, in a compulsory manner! But LOVE must exist in spite of obligation.
That’s why egoism was created—to attain free love.

#Trump accelerates time. The Fed and dressed world is collapsing. Living standards will be like in the 1960s. Middle class and liberals will disappear. People recognize “there’s no future.” The Soviet Union once aspired to be like the West. Not anymore. This is Kabbalah’s prediction.

In our world of action we build proper connections;
By removing actions, we receive the upper world.
