#CrisisResolution
#Ego/driving force of civilization, is growing! Result: the world economy is collapsing, debt crisis growing, refugee masses will cause unrest. All this will force strong states to isolate, impose duties, build protection & borders from chaos. The US started it!

#Ego
Kabbalah explains: there’s only one way to evolve – rise above the ego. It evolves & we aren’t contrary to nature when acting in accordance with egoism. We only bring the Creator’s force in the world, that will connect distant egoistic parts and lead all to peace & welfare.

#Ego
Spiritual work doesn’t stop at Ego’s rejections. It’s necessary to recycle egoism into the property of bestowal (Bina) & then into the property of Keter (love), receiving in order to bestow. Hence, Ego shouldn’t be suppressed. We must tame it to do proper work for bestowal.

#Ego
The Creator shows me my #Ego-opposite forms of Himself & I love Him above them for He is the property of absolute love. In rising above ego-calculations I achieve adhesion with Him. In the property of love I’ll see the reverse world/reality filled with bestowal & the Creator.

#Ego #Egoist #SpiritualWork_ML
It is written: “The greater the person, the greater his ego is.” If my ego grows and I keep cancelling it, then I grow. Equality is when everyone tries to rise above his ego. This makes us equal. Although we are all different in our egoism.

#Passover
Pharaoh is desire to rule, rise over everyone & to trample everyone. It turns us into slaves of money, #social status, fashion. Egyptian executions, like our internal GPS, warn us: “Stop, make a recalculation of your path!” So we find “Moshe,” the power of unity & love!

#Ego #CrisisResolution
Egoism is driving civilization; it grows & humanity is split. The world economy system collapses. Debt crisis, bubbles, stock market’s fall, refugee riots, fake news, and robots will make weak countries fall. Strong countries are forced to isolate themselves.

Before #Passover, I wish everyone in the world PA-SACH – to overcome the boundary between our world & the upper world.
This is the true meaning of the holiday.
It happens by correcting our ego with the upper Light.
In the corrected ego, we will feel the eternal, good upper world.

Passover is an opportunity to pass over from a state of #divisiveness, disregard, and coldness in modern #society, to one of unity, care, and warmth.
#Passover2018

10 united people are similar to mankind, and thus, by correcting relationships in a ten, we can correct all society since it is one #Soul. In an integral system, such as #Sujok acupuncture, by influencing 10 fingers, the whole body is healed. #WisdomofKabbalah_ML #Kabbalah

#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
There is no leader in a group of Kabbalah students. One can have a duty or temporary authority. The main law of the group is total equality, regardless of experience, age, knowledge, etc. The main rule is: each one lowers himself and prays for everyone!

In a society freed from the cyclical chase for material acquisition, we would invest a large portion of our time on a daily basis, investigating, exercising, and developing the sense of the natural human #connection that binds us together. #UBI #BIEN

#Ego
We attain the world by comparing opposites, one against the other. We sense shifts between qualities, and not any of them separately.
The Creator is the quality of complete bestowal, but we cannot sense Him unless we’re the opposite. This is why we need the ego!

Any #soul is always greater and wider than the one that’s loved.
(Rav Kook, Orot HaKodesh 4)
Don’t forget about that…
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah

The method of the world’s correction comes down to correcting egoism, man’s #evil nature. The Creator is revealed in the corrected #egoism. The method of correcting egoism and revealing the Creator is called #Kabbalah.
(Baal HaSulam. Preface to The Book of #Zohar) #Antisemitism

Don’t be surprised that I mix up the notions of #peace in #society and the #world, since the whole world is one society. Every person sustaining himself at the expense of all mankind is thus obligated to serve and care for the whole world. (Baal HaSulam. #Peace in the World)

Any quality, whether good or bad, and even the worst, most harmful one, has a right to exist. We cannot eradicate or erase it. Instead, we must only correct it and return it to #goodness. (Baal HaSulam, “#Peace in the World”) #quoteoftheday #consciousness
#Reality_ML #Kabbalah

Realization of evil: Before entering the spiritual world, a person goes through 7 years of famine, hardening of the heart. He sees that he’s drowning in his egoism and will never come out of it. And it’s true, since the will to enjoy is our only nature.
#Passover #Kabbalah

#Ego
The Creator’s struggle with #Pharaoh isn’t to defeat Pharaoh, the force of the ego, which the #Creator Himself created and controls, but for man to combine these two forces within him in the middle line so as to build within the structure of #ADAM.
#Spiritual_work_ML

Our perception is built on reception, absorption. Kabbalah study, work in the group, Light, lead to a reverse perception of the world in the Light of bestowal. I understand that I was locked in the egoistic desire. It’s an illusion enabling us to enter the upper world by exerting

#Ego #Egoist
Work above the ego means acting against one’s rational logic, against desire, i.e., loving and bestowing. In my knowledge, heart, and mind, I hate and reject, while above reason—I love and bring closer. This is possible only with the help of the upper Light OM (Ohr Makif). #divinity

The ego is our nature. Removing it strips us of #life’s foundation. But replacing the #ego for bestowal makes unbounded #fulfillment possible. For only the intention changes, and all the actions remain—and receive, with the intention to “bestow,” i.e., for the benefit of others!

#Dying is no problem. Cursing life is no problem. #Suffering from #life is no problem, and additionally, being proud of one’s suffering. The problem is changing one’s life—to do so, one must change oneself… #selfhelp
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah #Freedomofchoice_ML

A distinguishing mark of any #evil is self-love, called #ego. It is opposite to the Creator’s qualities, who has no desire to receive for Himself, but only the desire to give. (Baal HaSulam, The Essence of #Religion and Its Purpose)
#WisdomofKabbalah_ML
#Reality_ML

Man is created not to amass wealth. He must ask for love for studying #wisdom and obtaining #faith. The Creator shall let his heart see, and shall infuse him with spirit—and he shall become the Maker’s beloved in this #life. (Baal HaSulam, Foreword to Panim Meirot, para 10)

Our evolutionary social development pushes us to utilize our wiring for human connection, to distill it through constant work on our relationships, and evolve to a new social reality. #UBI #basicincome #employment #unemployment #BIEN #ToysRUs

#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
Matter is the reality given to us in sensations. It doesn’t exist independent of us. We must find in our #unity that the world, this #reality, does not exist. It appears in our broken qualities. Uniting, we will reveal “There is no one beside Him.”

#AntiSemitism is due to the unfolding of the point in the heart in Jews, the rudiment of the property of bestowal, opposite to the ego. This quality emerged when they received the Torah—the method to correct the ego. The Jews’ duty is to master & reveal it to the world to correct it

#Israel
The State of Israel was created to form unity between people & the Creator “all in one heart.” It needs nurturing, to give birth to the “Nation of Israel” in the “Land of Israel” from any person in the world. Such Israel will be welcomed by all the peoples of the world!

#Reality
Always practice bestowal, love, concessions, pervading the world. With this attitude, annul your ego that draws a hard, coarse world for you. Having gone through all concealments, unveil a world full of #love & mutual #care. Don’t let the ego draw another world for you!

#Wisdom
#Science of Kabbalah is disclosure of the upper force by way of revealing unity. A web unifying people unfolded in the world. We need to correct these connections so they get filled with light. They are broken & manifest as #crisis. Therefore, #Kabbalah is revealed! #quote

#Kabbalist #advice
Man reproaches himself that he’s bad—this was done by the Creator!
He reproaches himself for wrongful actions—still the same Creator!
He’s worried about the future—that will be the Creator!
Everything is done only to ask the Creator to reveal His oneness!

Some methods aim one to rise above oneself. But #Kabbalah is a method of recognizing the ego as evil & then aspiring to be above it. So we see in its sources and in the Torah. Everything begins from revealing the ego’s slavery, and then exiting and rising above it.
#Passover2018

#Passover is an opportunity to pass over from a state of divisiveness, disregard, and coldness in modern #society, to one of unity, care and warmth.

#Pharaoh is necessary: he helps us escape from the ego. It was Pharaoh who brought the people of Israel closer to the Creator, His faithful assistant, ego, serpent. Its venom is our medicine; we only need to be sensitive to it & we will reveal the Creator!
#Single_upper_force_ML

I often write that Jews are to blame for #Antisemitism. Kabbalah teaches that the reason is written in the Preface to The Book of #Zohar—that the correction of #egoism as the main property of nature is done by the Upper Light, and it shines through the unification of the Jews.

#SpiritualWork_ML
One who begins to study Kabbalah & is already familiar with it, has touched the knowledge & then gave up because his ego didn’t see any reward in it for himself, shows disregard for the Creator. He must realize that he is doing it under the power of his own ego.

Pharaoh turns us against unity. He inspires the desire toward unity, we cannot live without creating the connection, but he also won’t allow us to connect. In this contradiction lies Pharaoh’s merit! And then we understand that the only answer is to flee from him! #Passover2018

#Passover
We must flee from Pharaoh, taking away desire vessels from him, leaving him with the intention “for the self.” We want the intention to bestow “for the sake of the Creator” over desire-vessels of the Pharaoh. To do the Creator’s work means to be beyond the power of #ego.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Passover #Kabbalah
Not wanting to obey the ego doesn’t mean “to moan from hard work”—but from lack of reward for ego-efforts (the King of Egypt died). Until we learn that there’s another King, that we desire to work for Him, we aren’t worthy to exit captivity.

#CririsResolution
#Trump consistently limits movement of people, goods, services, #capital in the world. These freedoms form inequalities among countries for the benefit of the world elite. But when the #world enters overproduction #crisis, Trump’s actions lead to detente #POTUS

#CrisisResolution
The #world doesn’t realize that #Kabbalah explains the laws of nature. Without respecting them, we will suffer more, according to #evolution. The blows will lead to studying the laws of nature Kabbalah speaks of. Starting to follow them, we’ll see the benefit.

Famine in exile isn’t that there’s nothing to eat. There’s no spiritual satisfaction, no #meaning of life, in total material abundance. The people of #Israel, the group, feels that the impetus for advancement has vanished. A good state turns to a prison. And we must escape it.

#Shame in the spiritual is not at all what’s in our world, when we’re ashamed of some ignoble actions becoming public. #Spiritual shame arises as a result of my being dissimilar to the Creator. Only this is the cause of shame and the Creator’s #concealment.

#SpiritualWork #Passover
To see truth: one is shown he’s an egoist, remote from the Creator & wants to exit the long path; not ready to exit slavery. Passover is the left line, #Torah’s secrets, bestowal. #Passover: repentance, cleanse in Hesed, ready for the left line of Hochma.

#CrisisResolution
The world reveals our broken connections. See how #globalization ruins the world built on self-interest that makes connection not cordial but aggressive, for mutual exploitation. This evidence of evil leads the world to correction (through #suffering) #BREAKING

#Passover
Work in Egypt refers to the Creator. In the beginning, we think that we can advance in #egoism, in agreement with Pharaoh, to unite and reveal the upper world and the Creator, to achieve #perfection and #unity—according to our ego. This is regarded as the 7 fat years.

#Passover_ML
The whole process of revealing the Creator to man is described in the Torah, which doesn’t depict earthly life but stages of spiritual development of man: exiting the power of ego/desire to receive—to love of others/desire to bestow—the birth in the spiritual world

#FreeWill_ML
The 2 ways to achieve the goal, pre-set by nature/the Creator:
1 Path of #suffering: long
2 Path of development by the Light: fast, conscious
The choice is only between them.
#Revelation of #Kabbalah is designed to change the path of suffering to the path of Light.

#SpiritualWork_ML #unity
If I ask for myself, I will get nothing. If I ask for the group, I will reach a small spiritual state (VAK) with it. If I ask for the group to be a channel of the Creator’s Light for the people, the entire Light for the world (GAR) will pass through us!”

-Do we, the world Kli, affect/improve the world by studying Kabbalah even though we haven’t reached the 1st degree yet?
-It is written that any good contact with #Kabbalah by anyone in the world, since we are parts of the system of Adam, has a good influence on the whole #world.

#Passover #Kabbalah
As per the evolution program, we’re on the way out of our world into the upper world. Hence, we feel the pushing action of nature. We must feel our world as an exile, in our ego,in order to realize liberation from the ego, as freedom to enter the upper world.

#Spiritualwork_ML
#Kabbalah
Just as a baby gives its parents greater delight than a grown child that operates with his mind and calculations, while a baby acts with total loyalty and dependence, so a novice Kabbalah student gives the Creator greater delight by attaining creation.

The earthly mind cannot understand the infinite space outside us, i.e., outside egoism, or see that which does not coincide with our inner program. Thus it says, “Taste and see how great the Creator is”—Taste by joining the group’s unity.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah #wisdom

#Trump is a manager, not a politician; he’s the first big businessman at the head of a large state, so he looks like “a black sheep.” He represents a new stage in governing the country & the world. Next, we need a new ideology—unifying not purses & empty fantasies, but hearts.

-Can Kabbalah study be dangerous for the student or his family? For example, if a person studies alone?
-One must be mentally healthy, study in a group, virtual or physical, and have constant contact with everyone. Good luck and have patience!
#Kabbalist_Advice_ML
#Kabbalah

-The point in the heart was growing, but now it’s closed—the feeling of joy is gone. Nothing helps. What do I do?
-That’s the start of 7 years of famine, forceful exile from egoism, and then entrance into the upper world. Do what pleases the Creator, not the ego!
#Spiritualwork_ML

#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
If a person strives for bestowal (Lishma) by faith above reason (contrary to the ego), then, even without reaching this rung, but only by striving for it, he delights the Creator even more than he will by his subsequent spiritual actions #spirituality

#SpiritualWork_ML
#Spiritual work in “There’s none else besides Him” runs in the sensations of insignificance, emptiness, inability to do something in body & soul. Only then do we have the opportunity without “awakening from above” to “awaken from below” to become “the Creator’s nation.”

#SpiritualWork_ML
As they will taste in the future from the Tree of Life, i.e., The Book of #Zohar, thanks to it they will come out from exile in mercy/Zohar/Naso 90. The study of The Book of Zohar is a great correction, illuminating and sanctifying the soul. /Hida/Shem ha-Gdolim

#Spiritualwork_ML
#Kabbalah
If a person strives toward #bestowal (Lishma) by faith above reason (in spite of egoism), then even without attaining this degree, but only aspiring to it, he pleases the Creator, even more than he will please Him with his subsequent spiritual actions.

Mankind thinks it knows how to develop without the upper providence. It doesn’t want to research nature’s governance, i.e., reveal the Creator, and moves from one blow to the next (Beito). We must research the Creator’s governance over #egoism as an object of research.
#Kabbalah

#SpiritualWork_ML
One who begins to study Kabbalah & is already familiar with it, has touched the knowledge & then gave up because his ego didn’t see any reward in it for himself, shows disregard for the Creator. He must realize that he is doing it under the power of his own ego.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
The earthly mind can’t understand the endless space outside of us, i.e., beyond the ego, to see what doesn’t agree with our internal program. Therefore, it is written: “Taste & see how beautiful the Creator is.” To taste is to be plugged into the group.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
People don’t understand how they harm themselves by rejecting Kabbalah. After all, the Creator created creation, the worlds & the soul to raise them to His rung. Disregarding this system & conditions prepared from above cancels what He created for us.

#FreeWill_ML
The #Malchut of the world of Infinity decides to become like #Keter, so it restricts itself to fulfill not the desire to enjoy but to bestow. Doing so is called a screen. A thought is called Ohr Hozer/reflected Light. After, decisions are made solely by the screen.

We appreciate the state of strength, feelings, joy. But we receive this from the #Light. When the light disappears, the Creator demands effort from us & that we ask Him to govern us—then we are given the opportunity to become the nation chosen by the Creator.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
There is no greater pleasure for the Creator from the creations of our world than when they are engaged in the #wisdom of Kabbalah. And what is more, man was created only to study the wisdom of Kabbalah (H.Vital, Introduction to the Gates of Forewords)

#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
There are many fools who run away from studying The Book of Zohar, which contains our life. And if the nation listened to me, it would engage in The Book of Zohar daily and so cancel calamities, draw the light & abundance (Nozar, Hesed, ch. 4, Mishnah 20)

#Kabbalah
Study of The Book of #Zohar is above any other study, even if one doesn’t understand it or reads it incorrectly. It is nevertheless a great correction of the soul. The Book of Zohar accelerates attainment and depth of Torah. (CHIDA. Moreh BeEtzba 44) #Kabbalahwisdom_ML

#WisdomofKabbalah_ML
The present time obliges us to multiply the attainment of the inner #Torah. Breaking new paths, The Book of Zohar lays a road through the desert. It and all its fruits will open the gates of #redemption for us (from our nature’s egoism). (#Rav_Kook Orot 57)

Many fools avoid studying the secrets of #Kabbalah and The Book of Zohar, which encompass our #life. If we heeded warnings about intensifying evil, we would study The Book of #Zohar and would thus annul all disasters by drawing Light and abundance.
(#Notzar_Chesed 4, Mishnah 20)

Study of Zohar today is needed for protection against evil. Revelation of wisdom in such a foul generation is needed as a shield to cling to the Upper Force. Past generations were closer to the Creator, but now only Kabbalah can protect us.

Spiritual progress is difference btwn ascents/descents, in mind/sensation, desire to bestow/receive, sweetness of bestowal/bitterness of reception. For/against the will to enjoy. Chewing ego’s evil, bitterness, & in disturbances attaining honey—adhesion with the Creator

#Spiritual_work_ML
The ego must be opposed with: Creator, group, mutual guarantee, faith, bestowal, love, all the forces of the upper world. So as to direct against the #ego all its attention, do everything against it by drawing on means opposite to it. #Kabbalah #Pesach

Only the patient attain the goal, seeing no other path but that of mutual guarantee. This is the bitter period, “Maror.” The right unification in a group builds faith in everyone—the quality of bestowal above the ego. They will escape the ego (#exile) into the Promised Land.

#Spiritual ascent hinges on importance of the Creator, quality of #love & #bestowal. Importance of the Creator hinges on unity in the group. Unity means to exit oneself into the friends, which is tantamount to exiting into the upper world, #faith above reason, the Creator.

#Sharansky: I directed Sokhnut’s work from repatriation to strengthening the bonds of Jewry.
Me: A sound decision, as there’s no repatriation! The next sound step: to explain to the Jews of the world the cause of #antisemitism, and how to change the hatred toward them to respect.

The essence of the science #Kabbalah
#Baal_Sulam: Science of Kabbalah is the causal order of the descent of the Upper Forces, subject to permanent and absolute laws related to each other and aimed at revealing the Upper Governing Force (the Creator) to man in this #world.

When the time of #Messiah comes, even infants will reveal the wisdom of Kabbalah (Zohar, Vaera). The wisdom of the Zohar was concealed till now, but in the last generation we will attain the secrets of #Torah – what our predecessors did not attain. (MARHU. Tree of Life. Preface)

ADL reports that anti-Semitic crimes have grown by 60%. Explanations differ from one writer to the next: white or black, Trump opponent or supporter, everybody wants to use him to blame the other side. But Kabbalah says the true cause lies with the Jews themselves!

#SpiritualWork_ML
Alone, a person can’t turn to the Creator. The prayer must consist of the 10 Sefirot of the spiritual vessel. So, I must evaluate the importance of 9 friends & attach to them my empty, suffering, dark Malchut – thus an appeal to the Creator will be born within.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
A prayer is a spiritual vessel, the action of the complete HaVaYaH, all 10 Sefirot. Hence, one cannot pray alone or for himself. The prayer the Creator hears occurs with inclusion in the group and receiving the friends’ intentions, impressions, support.

Question from @Evgeni95938533: Why do upper pure desires outside the group hinder?
Answer: Revelations in the group—toward the goal; revelations outside the group—opposite from the goal, for the group is the soul system and the #revelation of the Creator occurs only in it.

#SpiritualWork_ML
While in ascent, it’s vital to assess your state as a great one, for I lift the whole group with it. But in a descent, I also have to assess my state per the group, the extent to which I damage it. Don’t switch to your state, for in spirituality it doesn’t exist!

#Passover #Kabbalah
As a result of working at unity (Jacob’s sons) in the group (Yosef) we start to hate the sweetness of egoistic fulfillment & wish to feel such a bitterness in it as to want to flee. Escape is the only thing that can save us. We must develop hatred for the ego.

#Passover
7 hungry years: we discover the bitterness of working inside the ego although it gives us sweetness, but wanting to achieve the quality of bestowal, we feel bitterness, maror, for we can’t bestow. We can’t turn bitterness into good so that bestowal starts to feel sweet.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Passover
Only after exiting egoism (Egypt), a person can do the Creator’s commandments & say “in memory of the exit from Egypt.” Because all commandments are the correction of actions intended for self-gratification to the intention for the sake of the Creator.

#Passover
To feel bitterness in receiving: “And the sons of Israel cried out of this work.” But bestowal is possible and turns sweet only out of the ego/Egypt, after receiving the #Torah and correction in the desert. The main job in Egypt is to chew the maror until we exit Egypt.

#Passover
Through descents & ascents, a Kabbalist learns the Creator’s work #AvodatAshem on him: how the Creator reveals the ego in him, hardens the heart, forcing him to hold on to studies & the group tighter, even in the states Zion-Yetzia—with no feelings and understanding.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah #Passover
Man contains all forces and qualities of nature: Pharaoh, Moses, nation of Israel, nations of the world—all these qualities together. A person is a small world that includes everything. We only have to connect and balance these components.

#Maror
King intended the kingdom for his lazy son if he earned $1. Son took $1 from his mother. King threw $1 into fire for his son lied. The mother sent her son to work. King threw $1 in the fire, son rushed to rescue it. King gave him the kingdom—his son obtained a desire!

#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
Only Kabbalah is spiritual work, “Avodat HaShem,” because it elevates man above his ego, the nature of this world, to equivalence with the Creator in the quality of #love and #bestowal to people, and then to equivalence and adhesion with the Creator.

#Reality_ML
Mankind is at the start of “7 hungry years” when old methods stop working. If we don’t start the correction, we’ll face a world war. Hunger isn’t in the lack of food, but in the fact that state systems and societies don’t work & don’t know how to further rule the world.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Passover
During the “7 fat years,” we feel that unity benefits us, our egoism, Pharaoh. We do not understand that we have to cut ourselves off from the ego, by faith above reason. The transition to the “7 hungry years” is to reveal that unity must be #selfless.

One defines heaven and hell personally. There are some for whom one instant of separation from the Creator is already hell. A person has to see that each moment he is given freewill. The states of heaven & hell are determined not from above but by the person himself

Concealing & Revealing #Kabbalah
Kabbalists never sought to advertise their science, because a person comes to study Kabbalah by the internal motivation. In our time, society is disappointed with the fulfillment of our world, hence Kabbalah reveals its essence and goals to all.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Passover
Creatures feel only by contrast—light from darkness. So, the unveiling of the upper world begins in man with a sense of slavery (“We were slaves of Pharaoh”) in his ego. Whoever feels life this way is moving toward revealing the Creator. They’re many!

#SpiritualWork_ML
Spiritual motion is per the rule “Like a bull under yoke,” regardless of feelings. It’s measured by ins & outs/ascents & descents, described as “From Zion (yetziot/descents) the Torah will come.” Israel is called Eretz Zion; who underwent descents will enter it.

Reason for Unveiling Kabbalah
#Baal_Sulam Reasons for concealing #Kabbalah: no need, impossible, personal secret of the Creator. But due to the development of mankind, the ban “not necessary” turns into a directive “there is a need” & therefore Kabbalah is revealed to all mankind

#SpiritualWork_ML
The main thing required of us is sensitivity to the Upper’s work on us, “the subtlety of the #soul,” to yearn to feel what actions the Creator performs on us directly & which are hidden, like #Pharaoh, or by other means, which are called “this world” in me.

#SpiritualWork_ML #Passover
The way out of slavery by the ego, where we are, is possible only after becoming aware of the slavery, which we can no longer endure! And the unveiling of slavery & inability to be in it is reached by joint efforts in the attempts to unite in the group

#FORECASTS_ML
Any projects starting with our time & onward will be successful only if they provide for a greater connection between people than before implementation of the project! So, it’s necessary to connect the project with uniting people & only then it will succeed #success

#SpiritualWork_ML
The Creator reveals in a Kabbalist new ego-desires; he descends, feels reception as more vital than bestowal, but the friends’ Arvut, reforming Light, & studying return the importance of unity & bestowal. From these descents/exits/yetziyot-Zion, he builds motion.

#Passover_ML
After descents, a Kabbalist returns to awareness & perception, experiencing new inspiration. Then it repeats, in hardening of the ego/pharaoh’s heart. Through such “exits,” he attains the Torah, the process of revealing the Creator, and achieves adhesion with the Creator.

#Passover_ML
The whole process of revealing the Creator to man is described in the Torah, which doesn’t depict earthly life, but stages of spiritual development of man: exiting the power of ego/desire to receive to love of others/desire to bestow—the birth in the spiritual world

#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
Kabbalah is spiritual work, “Avodat HaShem,” because it invites and practices unity in the group, above every person’s individual ego, as the forefather Abraham first taught. Unity till achieving love of others is the basis of #Kabbalah.

#breaking
The Roman Club severely criticizes #capitalism, financial profiteering, & materialism. But calls for self-restraint won’t work. #Egoism cannot be stopped; it pushes us forth, even if there’s an abyss ahead. We need to rise over egoism and break thru to the next stage.

Stages of #development of the soul
1 Studies (per Baal HaSulam) & connection in the group (per RABASH)
2 Exit from ego (Egypt)
3 Attaining bestowal, Bina (Sinai Desert)
4 Attaining love of others & the Creator (taming the Land of Israel, constructing the Temple)

Above our life, there’s #eternity. This is what we have to find, not squander ourselves on petty goals. One must always check: am I moving toward this or not? If yes, there is nothing in my way and I have just one goal: to attain eternity! Otherwise, the ego lowers me to an animal.

3 degrees of nature—still, vegetative, animate—exist by egoistic laws. The Human degree does not exist in nature. It is psychologically born in an animal and demands a special, super-egoistic organization of life, similar to the Creator. This is whom Kabbalah is revealed to.

#Spiritualwork #Passover #Kabbalah
Chew, don’t swallow!
Maror, bitter greens eaten at the Passover meal, symbolize difficult labor in egoism’s/Pharaoh’s slavery. One must chew slowly to feel the bitterness of the difficult, lengthy attempts to break free from egoism to escape!

#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
Spiritual work (Avodat HaShem) happens only in #Kabbalah since it’s called Torah-Ohr, drawing the influence of #Torah, OM [Ohr Makif – Surrounding Light], the Light that Reforms. Study of Torah means letting the Light of Torah, OM, influence, make changes.

3 levels of nature: still, vegetative, animate exist by its #selfish laws. Level “Man” in nature doesn’t exist. It’s born at the animal level psychologically and requires a special above-ego structure of #life, similar to the Creator. Hence it is man who reveals #Kabbalah.

#SpiritualWork_ML
Egoism (evil) emerged with the breaking of the soul, ADAM (likeness to the Creator), BETWEEN its broken parts, NOT in each part. So it isn’t people that need correcting but RELATIONS between them. To replace #evil between us with goodness IS to correct the soul.

#Reality
#Globalization leads to an increase in the incomes of the population, but at the same time this contributes to the deepening of #inequality. It exerts an external temporary positive effect mainly in weak countries. Revenues from the common market are distributed unevenly

#SpiritualWork_ML
By unifying in a group we connect many opposing properties and in a variety of connections that preserve their uniqueness, linked despite their differences, we create the SOUL, a complex spiritual vessel, 620 times more sensitive, suitable to reveal the Creator.

#SpiritualWork_ML
How with our ego – desire to reach equivalence to Light, to bestow & receive? By connecting ADAM’s broken properties of reception and bestowal in order to reveal the Creator in their connection. Our connection is in fact the Creator (Boreh), “come and see” (Bo-Re).

#SpiritualWork_ML
The reason to achieve love of friends by unification is to reveal the property of “oneness” in which opposing properties can unite, under the influence of the common upper principle “the Creator” that unifies everything. And in it to attain the highest perfection.

#SpiritualWork_ML
The difference between #Kabbalah & other methods is that it’s mastered in a group “sitting in a tent” under one cover in common unity where “all crimes are covered with love” & everyone by canceling his ego is ready to connect with others under one roof of love.

#SpiritualWork_ML
Initially one has a desire to love only himself. But by participating in the group, one realizes that connection with the friends is needed to create a spiritual vessel— a “place” to reveal the upper world, the Creator, in the measure of the evolving connection.

#CrisisResolution
The world reveals our broken connections. Sees how #globalization ruins the world built on self-interest that makes connection not cordial but aggressive, for mutual exploitation. This evidence of evil leads the world to correction (through suffering) #BREAKING.

#The_purpose_of_man’s_existence in the material world is to attain the upper world and there, to continue developing. Our world is the lowest state in existence. The next stage is the #upper_world where our world is managed from.
Thus, the #purpose_of_life is revealed there.

#Spiritualwork_ML
Ego/evil emerged with the breaking of the soul, ADAM (likeness to the Creator), BETWEEN its broken parts, NOT in each part. So it’s not people needing correction, but the RELATIONS between people. Replacing evil between people with good is the soul’s correction.

#SpiritualWork_ML
Success in Kabbalah depends on the connection with the group, where we get many attainments that we needn’t undergo ourselves. By plugging in the friends’ states, cancelling self, and Arvut, one forms within #HaVaYaH, the vessel of the soul to reveal the Creator

#SpiritualWork
It’s good that we’re all different & perceive everything differently. This allows, thru mutual inclusion over differences, collecting a common desire that can reveal the Upper Light; for revelation of the Creator cannot occur in an individual one-dimensional desire

How many more conferences, conventions, forums, and meetings will we need to deal with the relentless global phenomenon of #antisemitism. The path to a solution has already been paved from time immemorial. #GFCA2018 facebook.com

#SpiritualWork
Spiritual growth occurs by unification of egos, broken fragments of the soul ADAM. So there is only one commandment “Love others”—to collect all the parts together. Their gradual assembly does, in fact, form our spiritual path, until the final correction, unity

#FreeWill_ML
Do you consider yourself a sinner unworthy of the Creator? Know, you are always half sinner-righteous & can always outweigh yourself with one action to being justified! But your ego will always grow so that in you good = evil & you have free will to exert to do good

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover
Among 4 sons, the special one is who doesn’t know how to ask. So there’s no desire for the Creator’s Light, not even a plea for a desire as “a needle eye.” Desire is measured by suffering for fulfillment! A greater desire will come with the Light itself

#Spiritual work_ML #Passover
Entrance and work in Egypt is in pursuit of unity although we’re #egoists and try to connect selfishly. But thru efforts (studies, unity, self-annulment) we draw the Light that Reforms and receive from it the force to overcome the ego, “Pharaoh”

#SpiritualWork #Passover
It is vital to return to the connection existed in the Adam system before the breaking. But if we reach this connection with our egos, it’ll be 620 times greater. Thus we’ll reveal not the small light of Adam but the entire Light of NaRaNHaY, the Creator

#SpiritualWork #Passover #Kabbalah
The yoke of exile is the inability to reach the right intention. We try, but each time we reveal that it is #selfish. After all, the Creator wants to lead us to realization of evil, that on our own we won’t succeed, without a plea, without His help.

“#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover
Kabbalah’s main distinction in defining the Creator’s work (Avodat HaShem) is its aim at uniting people, loving the neighbor, bringing them to the model of Adam, the system of the common #soul, and then from love of the neighbor to love of the Creator.”

#Passover
Pharaoh is between us. We must turn him into revelation of the Creator.
Pharaoh & Creator are revealed not in us, but only in the connection between us! Pharaoh disunites, and Creator is the network of love uniting us.
Torah, like water, must fill the spaces between us.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover
Don’t swallow Maror without chewing means we must work on unity even though we can’t attain it ourselves.
If the group agrees to unite, it “entered Egypt”
Meaning, they have realized, like Joseph’s brothers, that there’s no other path to the Creator!

#SpiritualWork #Passover
To see truth: one is shown he’s an egoist, remote from the Creator & wants to exit the long path; not ready to exit slavery. Passover is the left line, Torah’s secrets, bestowal. Passover—repentance, cleanse in #Hesed, ready for the left line of Hochma

Everyone must study Kabbalah or come to this world again. Without it one won’t reach the goal of life, the Creator. Kabbalah teaches how to receive Upper Light, reveal the Creator, learn all methods of the Creator’s impact on us. Kabbalah is the sum of this knowledge

It’s important for the aspiration toward #spirituality to be qualitative. It is born only by aspiring toward unity in the group. Even a bit of it causes the reforming light OM [Ohr Makif] via its quality. Whereas a loner will waste his whole life’s efforts in vain.

Study of the Ten #Sefirot (TES) describes #spiritual actions using “mechanical” expressions. But inside us they must become sensations and attainments of states. The text talks about the Light’s work on the desire, but in us it must evoke sensations from these actions. #Quote

The Source of #Light is not revealed to us, but we sense His desire to delight us in the Light, and decide to answer Him in kind. The creature makes the reflecting Light. It’s called reflecting because it returns us to the Maker’s degree, making us similar to Him. #spirituality

In studying #Kabbalah, one must aspire not to become smarter or gain new knowledge, but to change one’s sensations & expand the heart. The heart learns to sense phenomena outside itself, inaccessible to us today: actions of bestowal, unity, which are above our sensations & mind.

Action within reason is Knowledge. It is our MO.
Action above reason is Faith. It doesn’t exist in our world. It is bestowal above reason! Like loving others above oneself, despite the ego. It can be received from the reforming light, OM. To that extent, I’ll be like the Creator.

#Kabbalah
We don’t understand the act of creation: how from the Creator’s will to bestow is born the creation’s will to receive, a black point from nothingness. Then a transition from inanimate to plant matter, from plant to animal, to a qualitatively new state “out of nothing.”

#Freewill_ML
I don’t have the proper desire for spirituality. I can desire anything except that. Envy, pride and ambition that are revealed in the group help me attain the spiritual world, while elevated, pure desires outside the group slow me down!

#Freewill_ML We don’t inherently have a need for spirituality. This need comes from the Creator as a desire to reveal Him. Beito – natural path of development, or Ahishena – accelerated path, by mutual guarantee, connection with the group, one gets the proper spiritual needs.

Signs of entering the upper world: Pesach Matza Maror. Matza: war against ego. Maror: bitterness of inability to unite. Pesach (Pasach): exit to freedom from ego
The Creator gives us the force to flee (Pasach). Matza and Maror are the obligation to feel the bitterness of slavery.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover
To rise above ego and reveal connection between us, we turn to the Creator, not Pharaoh. Creator and Pharaoh are two sides of one phenomenon. Spiritual work is simple and specific. The hard part is turning to the Creator—that’s where Pharaoh hides.

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover
Attaining the Creator is discovering unity and love, which don’t exist in our state. We live in the opposite world. The Creator that will be revealed is now being revealed in the opposite form. He’s the one that broke the Soul—He’s Pharaoh!

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover #Kabbalah
We have to chew Maror, attempts to unite, feel the whole bitterness of hard work and failures. We soften and, out of despair, turn to the Creator. Only after the hard work do we start feeling slavery and the need for help in order to flee!

#Spiritualwork_ML #Passover #Kabbalah
First the group feels progress toward unity, 4 years of plenty, but then they start seeing that they can’t unite. They cry out from this work, since unity is beyond them. Then their cry rises up to the Creator and they move towards salvation!

The Book of Zohar explains that the Jews shape the fate of the world: “Just as the organs of the body cannot exist for one moment without the heart, so all nations cannot exist in the world without Israel.” #GFCA2018 #Antisemitism #Europe facebook.com

We have become a nation based on the tenet of “love thy neighbor as yourself,” and only the return to this tenet can eradicate the world’s hatred towards us.
