Torah, Deuteronomy 22:22: If a man is found lying with a married woman, even both of them shall die the man lying with the woman and the woman. So shall you clear away the evil from Israel.

The man symbolizes intention and the woman—the desire. A person begins to work with a desire that he cannot correct. Therefore, the entire process is dead and doesn’t have any continuation in the future.

Question: Yet, she is a married woman, does it mean that she is someone’s desire?

Answer: But a person hasn’t yet clarified whether this desire applies to him. After all, the whole analysis happens gradually, and whatever is bad on one degree, can be good on another degree. There the opportunity is already given to fulfill, investigate, and correct everything.

A married woman that is unfaithful to her husband is a desire that can’t be corrected with the help of the intention, with which a person is now working.

Let’s say I have a certain desire and the intention doesn’t match it. It is either less, more, or totally different in character, while between them there must be a clear match, which is determined by the upper Light at the degree above these men and women. Such a state must be preceded by a so-called spiritual marriage contract.

Torah, Deuteronomy 22:19: And they shall fine him one hundred [shekels of] silver because he defamed a virgin of Israel, and he give it to the girl’s father. And she shall be his wife; he shall not send her away all the days of his life.

A person wants “to marry,” wants to develop his desire, to see its offspring, all kinds of various fulfillments and pleasures. And suddenly he understands that he cannot do anything. He can’t follow this path and overcome this desire. It is not his and it is completely alien to him.

He wants to enjoy life, and this desire calls him to something else, indicates that he must move toward the Creator, renounce his pleasures and plans. He doesn’t want such a desire, such a wife. Yet, he must correct exactly this desire that manifested in him in such an egoistic way. Later he’ll have to return to it and correct it.

However, now he ascends and enters into contact with the next level, although he paid a hundred silver shekels for it, meaning, he received a decent punishment in front of everyone, such as shame, various fears, and hatred.

Thus, he connected to the next higher level, and without this renunciation, he wouldn’t be able to just take his desire and start correcting it. It is the escape from correction that is a necessary condition before he can take care of it and correct it.

There is nowhere to run! Therefore, we see how humanity is slowly being pushed into difficult conditions, and we from our side develop our method more and more, make it closer to humanity, disseminate, and will certainly meet with them somewhere. This is the law of our development.

Torah, Deuteronomy 22:16 – 22:17: And the girl’s father shall say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, and he despised her; and behold, he made libelous charges, saying, ‘I did not find evidence of your daughter’s virginity.’ But this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity!’

The “evidence of virginity” are personal desires of a person. He wants to abandon them, doesn’t want to correct anything, and says that they are not his.

He isn’t going to live with this woman and to give birth to her offspring; in other words, he doesn’t accept either her or the fact that he can create something together with her. This is because it is impossible to correct such egoism.

We see this on clear examples from our practice. The Torah describes states that everyone undergoes on his individual path. A person sometimes reveals such egoistic lowland in him that he can do nothing with.

Many of us keep going, yet many will “fall” and leave. Others will come instead of them, and this way the caravan is gradually moving forward.

Torah, Deuteronomy 22:17 – 22:18: And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. Then, the elders of that city shall take the man and chasten him.

A person should feel suffering from the fact that he wants to give up the curing of his egoism. Without it, he won’t want to rise because suffering helps him agree to the correction. And in this way he is driven to happiness by the “stick.”

Torah, Deuteronomy 23:1: A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor shall he uncover the corner of his father’s [cloak].

The “father’s wife” is a huge desire, for which a son can’t build a Masach (screen), because he has to be on the level of his father for that. However, he cannot rise to this level; he always will be lower. This hierarchy never changes.

Everything we receive from above, either from the wife of our father, meaning not from our own mother or father, must come to us through the filter that reduces the influence of the upper Light on us.

The ascent of the younger soul to the upper soul should happen only by permission, by the correct intention, and by the forces it receives from above. Therefore, there cannot be independent actions here, not with regard to the father, the mother, or the stepmother. After all, a person simply destroys himself, burns, if he receives more Light than he is capable of receiving.

“He shall not uncover the corner of his father’s cloak” in order to receive from him Direct Light. He can only receive the Light that the father (the Creator) directs to him.

A person should move consistently because he can’t jump over spiritual degrees. The Torah speaks only about the relationship between degrees. And although they change, the upper Light still remains the upper one.

Throughout his entire life, a person cannot make a single action aimlessly, without any connection with the upper force. However, it is preferable that he or she acts only in order to resemble the upper force and to connect with it since thereby he approaches revelation.

Question: Why do I need the upper force? Why do I need to resemble it? In what way is it connected to my everyday life? I get up in the morning; I go to work; my concern is for my children to get to school safely and return home safely. I would like for everything to go well at work, for my boss to be in a good mood, and for my projects to go smoothly.

In the evening I return home and want to be greeted by a satisfied wife and happy children so that there is no stress or aggravation.

This daily routine repeats year after year, only with new problems, discernments, inventions, and losses. How does trying to resemble the upper force, which theoretically protects my life, fit into all this? What kind of connection, if any, does it have to a person’s life?

Answer: All your life you were following commands of the upper force without even being aware of who was controlling you. You just ran along the tracks of life like a toy train that is set in motion by a remote control. And it seemed to you that you did everything yourself.

The problem lies in the fact that the upper force is hidden from us. But if you begin to sense who is controlling you and for what purpose, and how you can participate in all the things that He is doing with you, then you will understand that you are not being aimlessly led around in circles like a toy train. Precisely by participating in these actions you will be able to attain the One who is controlling you and to see your entire life from His perspective.

And then in all that you do, you will attempt to establish contact with the Controller. A person must conduct this type of inner work each moment. That is, all that you do in life is only in order to reveal the upper force that directs you. You begin to sense how it behaves at each moment.

Question: A person senses his complete vulnerability in life, in not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Does a connection with the upper force give us a greater sense of security in tomorrow?

Answer: If a person is connected with the upper force, then he is not concerned at all about tomorrow, the main thing is to remain in contact, in adhesion with the Controller. What difference does it make where He is leading me? I am not concerned about the next moment, my only concern is to not lose contact with Him.

This provides such a protective shield in life that nothing else is required because you are connected to the upper mind. Connection with the upper force is like an insurance coverage for all situations in life from the biggest and most successful insurance company that includes all of existence. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah offers a person.

Question: But what if the person is not religious?

Answer: This has nothing to do with religion, only with a desire to attain the force that governs us.

Question: Where do we look for this upper force?

Answer: We need to look for it inside our own hearts with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah. It’s not an easy task and it requires time. But ultimately, each will be able to “know your G-d and serve Him.”

Torah, Deuteronomy 23:3: A bastard shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even the tenth generation shall not enter the assembly of the Lord.

A person will never be able to make such a correction that isn’t aimed at the integration of the common soul. As there used to be one common soul and one Masach for all desires and each desire had its own Masach, so again they must coincide and reconnect precisely to the same system.

If a bastard appears, that is a wrong Masach for the wrong desire, then there is discord in the entire system, and it leads to a cancerous disease, just like in our world because this must be corrected.

A “bastard” is the one who was born from the incorrect use of Malchut (desire) and the Masach because the intention—being in principle, directed toward bestowal – wasn’t precisely selected for his Malchut. In this case, it’s just a distorted detail of the common soul.

This phenomenon can be seen not only on the human level, but also on the animate and vegetative levels.

The Torah, Deuteronomy, 23:08-23:09: You shall not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. You shall not despite an Egyptian, for you were a sojourner in his hands. Children who are born to them in the third generation may enter the assembly of the Lord.

This refers to the nations where the Jews lived during exile. Despite the fact that the peoples of the world oppressed them and organized pogroms, the Jews should treat them well.

It is interesting that when Jews leave the place of exile, they do not feel hatred, gloating, or any negative feelings towards the native population living there. This has never happened throughout history. And regarding the peoples who were in the Land of Israel and had to be conquered, the attitude was simple: destroy them.

Question: Why do the Jews who returned to the Land of Israel from different places experience a nostalgic attitude toward the peoples of the countries from which they came?

Answer: It’s because the Light is passed through the Jew who “fell” onto someone’s land and connected to another nation. By this he becomes responsible for their correction and has to attend to them. Therefore, he feels certain attraction, a special relationship toward this nation. This doesn’t exist in anyone but the Jews.

Question: It is written, “In the third generation they may enter the assembly of the Lord.” Meaning, the places where Jews lived during exile are sacred?

Answer: The Jews came out of Babylon and created a separate nation based upon a certain ideological principle. The nations of the world can do the same. Nothing needs to be changed other than the ideology. And the entire world will be this way.

Connection above egoism – this is the whole ideology.

Torah, Deuteronomy 23:2: [A man] with injured testicles or whose member is cut, may not enter the assembly of the Lord.

A person can’t enter the assembly of the Lord if he doesn’t have such a correction as “Mila”—that is, when he had cut off three impure Klipot (desires). He can’t work with the remaining pure desires and get closer to the Creator.

The interaction of a man and a woman is the interaction of the Masach and desire. It is at the confluence of man and woman, between them, that the revelation of the Creator is present.

This is possible only when there is the right man, the right woman, and the right relationship between them. Therefore, there can be no strange women (desires). Then, the system is destroyed. Nor can there be a person who has some kind of damage in the Masach when the desire and intention occlude. The damage in the Masach is the “injured testicles” or “severed member.”

More details on this can be found in the six volumes of the Talmud Eser Sefirot (The Study of the Ten Sefirot). It explains how the seed emerges, how its heating occurs, and so on. In general, it describes the work of a huge, complex system. Then, perhaps, it will become a little clearer why everything is born around this, both new life and the revelation of the Creator.

Spiritual Blunder – “The Seduction Of A Virgin”

Filed under: Spiritual Work, Torah - No Comments →

Torah, Deuteronomy 22:13 – 22:14: If a man takes a wife, is intimate with her and despises her, and he makes libelous charges against her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I took this woman, and when I came to her, I did not find any evidence of virginity for her.”

Among those who study Kabbalah, there are people who say, “Why did we come here? We have been studying for several years and where are the results?”

The desire with which a person came is the “woman” with whom he began to work. However, he leaves everything because he doesn’t see the results. Instead of connecting with his dream and moving on, he begins to hate her and runs away.

This means to “make libelous charges” that this method doesn’t work and to “give her a bad name.”

“I took this woman, and when I came to her, I did not find any evidence of virginity for her” means, that she isn’t mine. I can’t use her in order to create my future world, so-called offspring, together with her. This desire doesn’t relate to me and I can’t control it.

Torah, Deuteronomy 22:15: Then the girl’s father and her mother shall obtain evidence of the girl’s virginity, and take it out to the elders of the city, to the gate.

This is a revelation at the upper level, on the quality of Abba ve Ima. It refers to those people who begin to face clarifications and analysis on the spiritual path. They don’t run away from emerging problems, but such complexities do exist for them.

A “virgin girl” is a person’s personal egoistic desire, not one he received from someone. This is what we need to prove.

To “obtain evidence of the girl’s virginity, and take it out to the elders of the city, to the gate” means to raise the desire from Abba ve Ima to the next level.

There are two levels of connection with the upper governance system. On the ordinary level, a person cannot independently affect the upper system in any way; he functions in it instinctively. The system exerts an influence on him from above and he instinctively reacts to this influence, being connected to the system in countless ways.

However, a higher level of connection with the upper governance system is possible, and Kabbalists have it. And no external objects or actions are necessary for this because this is an internal process, experienced by the individual.

Question: But still, traditions of Judaism are not just external actions; do they not have deeper roots?

Answer: The commandments have roots, but the actual physical actions do not possess spiritual power. We should not believe that the upper force is contained in the mezuzah. The mezuzah only symbolizes this force and helps us to learn about it. It demonstrates to us that a certain force called “mezuzah,” which guards the “home,” exists in nature. And what we call “home” is the soul. And this is how we come to understand that there is a “soul” and within it, there is a “mezuzah.” In this way we are introduced to spiritual concepts.

There is no divinity in the actual physical mezuzah nailed in the doorway. It merely points to a force in the spiritual world, to a particular role of the Creator with respect to the souls. All its divinity is contained within this understanding. In our world there is no divinity. Mezuzah is a symbol pointing to the fact that if I build my soul, then within it there will be a particular protective power called “mezuzah.”

Question: What does it mean to build the soul?

Answer: To build the soul means to carry out correction: the restriction of one’s desire, the screen, and the Reflected Light. For this I need the connection with others, for us to be at least ten, “Minyan” (the quorum of ten), and in the right kind of connection between us, we build the soul, “home.”

All the commandments of this world are only symbolic. The proof of this is Abraham, who destroyed all the symbols because people started to attribute spiritual powers to them and worship them as idols.

But in reality, these objects only symbolize spiritual actions that the person is obligated to perform: to build a connection with others above the personal egoism of each in order to create within this connection a place for the revelation of the upper force of bestowal and love that dwells between them. This is the point of spiritual action: to connect with the others above personal egoism. This is called love.

Question: If I perform such action, connecting with others, will I attract to myself some force that will protect me?

Answer: Of course! But you will no longer be thinking about that because you will acquire the power of love and all your goals will be directed toward helping others, in order to “live” within them and provide them with all they need. This is what is called “love your neighbor as yourself,” when you are ready to give him your only pillow. Only this force protects us in life, there is no other protection.
