Question: The convention took many women by surprise. It turned out to be a sharp transition from the requirement to be together around men, but every woman on her own, to a state of a “unified woman.”

Answer: The world has changed, and now the state is manifested when we have to take a step forward. Circumstances compel this and there is no getting around it.

I never thought that I would have to deal with women’s groups, talk to women about Kabbalah, about correction, upbringing, and everything else. Talking about raising children is all right, but not about creating a unified image of the woman.

But suddenly there is a need to unite women around men to push the men forward. By the way, I already talked about this a few years ago. Then, at the convention, we took a picture, creating a circle in the shape of a heart, men inside, and women surrounding them, as if pressing on them, as if demanding spirituality.

Four years have passed, and much has changed. There is a demand for women’s unity and their spiritual help for men, and it is necessary not just to put pressure on men and ask: “What spiritual earnings have you brought me?” but to participate in this process more actively. It is the requirement of time.

The time has come when the need has emerged that the women not only stand behind the men, with each of them pushing her husband forward, but that they also unite between themselves in one unified women’s image that is ready to be in front of us—the unified men’s image.

This circumstance appeared as the next step so suddenly that it surprised even me. In principle, I am used to all kinds of changes (how many have I passed through!), but these changes were new to me.

That is why we need to understand that we are entering a completely new level, an ascent to spiritual correction. If we work it out and we can do it very quickly, we will receive revelation, the serious spiritual merging with the upper world. We will start to feel a little of how it “breathes” on us, to look forward to it coming closer. I really hope it happens.

Question: What is the union of desire?

Answer: The desire doesn’t refer to the desires of this world: food, sex, family, money, power, and knowledge, but to the desire to unite, to exit oneself, to bestow.

We must strive to get one huge desire that we all want. And when, by having risen above ourselves, we all wish for our unity, we will receive the upper Light that will connect us and form a common soul, a common spiritual system. In it, we will begin to exist.

Question: How do we and should we try to overcome the situations when we feel physical hostility, apathy, indifference, and the desire to be just an observer during the congress?

Answer: It all depends on the mood. How can there be a physical aversion, for instance, to your child? Someone else could dislike him but for me he is my own. A woman understands this. So, it all depends on what we will tune ourselves to.

There is no concept of “physical hostility,” there is just the goal. And to the extent it is important to me, I begin to perceive the means to achieve this goal with the same value and greatness of glory as to the goal itself. If for the sake of the goal I have to get close with someone, talk, hug, and feel that we are together in a unifying action, then I do not look at the person.

And generally, what does something external mean? After all, it’s not people I am shown but my attitude to them, my own reflection in a certain image. By observing this person, I can discern how much I need to work on myself and he or she has absolutely nothing to do with it. It is not a person but my own egoism I am seeing in such a form. It is like a mirror in which I view myself. It is a whole system, as stated in one of the Shamati articles: “The Creator is Your Shadow.”

So, how can there be rejection? On the contrary, what puts you off is exactly the most efficient method, a possibility to converge, to rise above yourself. Try it and you will see that this is so. And throughout, it will be tormenting you inside, throwing you back, but you should keep going forward. Do not waste your time! It’s a shame to be losing it. See everyone, try to annul yourself, and then you will be taken by the flow into oneness with all.

I would encourage all women to ask each other’s forgiveness before the congress, forget the old stuff and start at a whole new level. Try to rise above yourselves a little; otherwise, what are you doing studying Kabbalah? You cannot always watch your “self”. On the contrary, you should stamp your foot on it and grind.

Question: What prayer should come from a unified woman?

Answer: One unified prayer should come out from a unified woman to a unified man with the purpose of further unity! And nothing more. And the same thing is from the man because through the unity between us we will attain what is called “Adam” inside which the Creator will be revealed, as it is said: “Man, woman, Shechina between them.” We need to reach such a state when the right and the left lines join into the middle line and the Creator will be revealed in it.

So now both women and men are preparing: the women at their convention and the men at their convention at the end of the same week. And then we will see what to do; I think that we will be able to create such desires when the women’s unity gives us a unified image of the woman and the men’s unity a unified image of the man, and then we will able to start uniting spiritually. We will begin to feel how much we miss each other in spirituality, to feel as the property of reception and the property of bestowal begin to connect mutually, and the Creator will be revealed between us. This is what we must achieve.

So, the general woman’s desire (Hissaron) is manifested when rising above ourselves to adhere to the Creator we feel that on the way to the Creator, we need to find our match, the men’s part.

This is the ultimate connection! You will feel how it fills you with joy, the highest ecstasy, its fulfillment! It’s impossible to put into words! Imagine various pleasures of this world, gather them together from all the people on Earth for millions of years, and you will feel this powerful pleasure a billion times more. There is no comparison, and it is only the Light of Nefesh de Nefesh, the smallest spiritual light.

The Power Of Women And Men: A Condition For Spiritual Ascent

Question: What is the power of mirror conventions?

Answer: If a good group of women, strong, cohesive, sincere, and open gathers at a mirror convention, then it should feel unity in their getting close to each other. They are not just getting together to look at us; they should unite with each other. Then they will have an “antenna” with which they will pick up what is felt here. Otherwise, the convention will be an ordinary performance for them: They will listen to the lectures, watch workshops and presentations, but they will not feel the internal pressure, charge, warmth of love, the Light that in principle should bring us closer, break and destroy all the walls that divide us. If they do not strive for unity among themselves, they will not be able to catch this wave from us.

The most important condition is to create, where you are, the same atmosphere we want to create at our general convention. Then according to the law of equivalence of form, you will not feel the distance, and you will “flow” in the same state with us.

Question: How can I create an atmosphere of joy and seriousness at the mirror convention?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. You will feel exactly the same thing as us: the same state, the same spiritual intensity and sensation of ascent. We need to understand that the world is accelerating, as predicted by Kabbalists; everything comes true precisely. We should definitely rise to a good level because the world demands it. It has lost its control, it has nothing to aspire to, nothing to live for; it’s as if in a suspended state.

And here we must show the world our strength, our drive to move forward and that there is a goal worth living for; there are wonderful intentions and possibilities; in fact, a bright future is open before us. Whether we can realize it depends only on us, not on anyone else! Unlimited possibilities are open before us. After all, only we are the masters of our state, and the whole world follows us.

Question: What should you contribute to the group so that it will later help you come out of a descent quickly?

Answer: We should accumulate efforts in the group before the descent comes, to convince the friends that we have to worry about everyone. There should be the spirit of mutual help in the group. This is called the greatness of the goal that is constantly among us in the air.

A group is where you fulfill the goal, a pool of powers, a pool of exertion. You receive the Light that Reforms through the group and the Light that Reforms connects you to the group. Eventually you discover that this network of connections already exists in the group. You discover the right connection in it and according to the equivalence of form you discover the Creator. All this is fulfilled in the group.

In fact, we constantly correct the group or discover its real form. Now we see it the way it is depicted in our corrupt attributes, as it says: “One judges according to his own flaws.” From above, on the Creator’s part, it’s a whole system, an ideal one. We need to attain the same perspective as from Above. We haven’t met by chance and we have been connected from Above into one group: Someone may enter or leave; someone may be near or far. In such a way, above us, we build the spiritual structure, which gradually becomes one desire that was created by the Creator.

The truth is that there is one point left in the desire that was created by the Creator. Everything else, by which this point was blown up, by developing different connections, manners, systems, all this is a result of the Light’s influence on it. The point of the desire itself remains as it was, but the Light that enters it blows it up and fills it with its attributes. This is called Malchut of Ein Sof (Infinity).

Question: What kind of inner preparation needs to be done prior to the Women’s Convention?

Answer: In order to break the barrier between us, to somehow soften the situation, we need to hold a workshop with the group or some kind of event, in order to feel that to some extent it is possible to facilitate the trend towards building a relationship: not to sit distanced from each other and delve within yourself, but to exit yourself, somewhat rise above yourself, outwards towards the others, and then we will find our spiritual vessel, Kli.

It is a clear female emotion when I am inside myself, “I within myself.” With the men it doesn’t stand out so much. On the one hand, women overcome this with more difficulty, and on the other hand, more easily, since it is easier for them to determine where this “cocoon” within them is. A woman feels very clearly that it is “I within myself,” whereas a man doesn’t. Until a man reaches this “cocoon” a lot of time has to pass.

Thus, I suggest for women to hold several meetings, discussions on this subject. It could be a workshop. I think it will be enough to at least begin to exit ourselves. And afterward, during the convention, we will talk about it and deal with it.

Question: What would you advise women who understand the importance of their presence at the convention, but prefer not to physically go there? How is it possible to help them overcome this “cocoon”?

Answer: I think one simply needs to decide and to work on yourself without paying attention to those around you: “We must do this now!” and begin to operate, constantly trying to break through the shell of isolation. You will see how much, on one hand, it is difficult, but on the other hand, the constant blows from within from this “cocoon” will break it in the end. But inevitably one must do it! Without that, we won’t feel that we are in the spiritual world that is found outside us, beyond the boundary of this “cocoon.”

We will have to go through many states in the spiritual work. The first, easiest, and most essential step is to invert from “I” to “we.” After all, “we” still includes me, and in it is included our general pride. Everybody disappears in this concept, not only me. We see in our regular lives that it’s relatively easy for a person to identify in such a way with a group, with a military unit, with the family, to tie himself with other bodies.

Later on, greater and more difficult discernments will arrive, more personal correction. I begin to worry precisely about the most hated people who cause me the most troubles and problems. And it is not even just hatred, I open the highest degrees of hatred and repulsion that an ordinary person cannot even imagine and feel. I, however, must rise above all my ego and reach such a state that this most-hated person, whom I would want to trample, becomes more dear than myself, and I prefer that he will get all the best, and nothing will be left for me.

It’s not easy to attain such a correction, but certainly in the end it has to be like this, and not just in general, but towards specific people. At first we go from my personal “I” to the general “we,” and afterwards, in “we,” the elements begin to reveal, meaning “Him.”

And in all these actions, the rescue is only the greatness of the Creator that rises above my self-importance, in order to help me happily get rid of my “I” for the sake of another’s benefit. I will be thankful for the opportunity that was given to me to turn my hated ones to the Creator’s beloved ones, because from them He will get greater pleasure.

This is such terrible “masochism” that can’t even be imagined, but it’s all based on the greatness of the Creator. We are required to raise this greatness to such a degree that nothing will remain from my feeling of “I.” This is called “existence from absence,” and we are returning to this absence. But this is still not the limit to self-nullification! But we will talk about the next steps later …

Question: Why is the upcoming women’s convention called “One Global Woman”? What does “global woman” mean?

Answer: There is only one soul in the world, a unified desire that was split into two complementary parts: male and female. They, in turn, were broken into a huge number of individual desires.

Our job is to gather the female and male parts together. At the same time, they rise above their routine earthly desires, correcting the desire to receive to the desire to bestow, and then two desires emerge that, on the one hand, are opposite, but on the other hand, are spiritual. And then both parts begin to connect with each other into one unified, common creation that is called Adam. In principle, this is what we have to do.

Men will gather at their convention a week after the women’s convention. And before that, we will discuss with the women how it is possible to unite into one unified women’s desire. I hope that we will succeed. At least, this is very important for the men and for all of us. We have never done this before, and now the time has come.

I never do anything in advance. When there is a need to realize the next state, I talk about this and then we begin to think about how to implement it. Now we have come to the state when we really need to get together and try to unite into a single woman’s desire.

I congratulate all the women in the world with our great internal holiday. We will try to make it important, light, serious, and at the same time fun!

Women’s Questions In Preparation For The Convention

Filed under: Conventions, Daily Kabbalah Lesson, Q&A, Unity, Women - No Comments →

Question: How can I correctly prepare for the women’s convention?

Answer: First, we should review the materials that relate to women’s work.

Basically, in our time, there is not much difference between men’s and women’s work because a gradual convergence is taking place. We see how the women of the world occupy leadership positions, are heads of state, ministers, and managers of various companies. Today, they are equally involved with men in all the spheres of activity.

Although women are inherently more inclined to something specific, standard, stable, and not the activities that constantly demand drastic changes, the time has come when both desires—male and female—come together in our world and in the spiritual world. This occurs in accordance with the spiritual roots, and thus it is necessary to think how to bring them together even closer. This is what we are going to be engaged in at the convention: The women must understand the goal before them.

Never before have women become united together. We had all sorts of attempts to unite in groups, during general conventions, but there wasn’t such a convention to make the desire of all the women as one woman’s desire, to create a unified image of women’s desire.

That is why the preparation for the convention is to think more about it, read, clarify the questions on this topic, and upload all the questions and answers on the website.

The most important thing is to be in a good mood, good spirit. Those who come here will inevitably enter this atmosphere. Those who will be connected to us should be prepared to get into it: They should be free of all their activities and feel as though they are here with us. I think we will give them the feeling of complete presence at the convention.
