Become a Conduit of the Creator

031Question: Is the Creator infinite energy that is inconceivable to our imagination?

Answer: It is possible to say it that way. But in principle, the Creator is the quality of bestowal, of emanation. If a person acquires such a quality, then the Creator channels His force into the world through the person, and the person becomes an extension of the Creator.

Question: What does it mean “to bestow to the Creator?”

Answer: You cannot bestow anything to the Creator. That category is absolute perfection.

Question: And what does it mean “to be a conduit of the Creator in this world?”

Answer: It means trying to convey this method to others. As they gradually master it, they too will become conduits of the Creator, the upper light will pass through them, and they will come to perceive themselves as the Creator. By becoming similar to the Creator, a person becomes a conduit of His energy to others.

Turn Night Into Day

207We must analyze each of our states on a “true-false” scale rather than the “sweet-bitter” scale; that is, based on whether it is good or bad regarding the goal of creation and not our desire to receive.

The problem is that we spend a lot of time feeling that sweet is day and bitter is night. That is, we work according to our feelings and cannot understand either by ourselves or with the help of a group that the definition of the state should be according to the goal of creation, adhesion with the Creator, and despite the fact that it still does not feel “sweet,” we accept as the truth and goal.

It needs to be more important than “sweet.” Then we will replace the “bitter-sweet” system (bodily analysis) with “true-false,” which is a spiritual analysis.

And here, only the group can remind a person what real measurement tools are, how he should regard his state, analyze it, speed up the process, correctly determine which state is called night and which is day, and then move from one state to another.

If he really decides that the state of night, which he finds bitter, is actually useful, that it is the truth, then night turns into day.

I define the feeling of an uncorrected Kli intent on self-interest as night. I attract the light that corrects this Kli and turns it into day by giving it the intention to bestow. Then, I come to the decision that my intention for giving is the day.

That is, it is the same state I was in before. I considered it night because of the lack of intention to bestow, and now, when I acquire this intention, I decide it is day, and so I go through this state. Turning the same receiving Kli into a giving Kli means that I feel the night and after that there is a day. And so it is at every degree. This is the same, only with an acquired intention upon it.

And if a person does not make efforts to correct the Kli he has received, does not try to see the real darkness in it due to receiving for himself, does not want to correct it with the intention to give, then he does not implement the time given to him.

One will still advance in this way, but very slowly. The Creator will take pity on the person and change his state because the group will help him a little, but not because of a change in his internal states.

I need to determine as soon as possible that night is my attitude to pleasure, to the fact that I want it. Then I will begin to desire correction, I will want to achieve an intention for the sake of bestowal, to adhere to the truth rather than to sweetness. This is what I call a day. This is the whole work of man. Man is the one who determines what day is and what night is, and what part of a day he is in.

The Practice of Joint Immersion

528.03A wonderful group gathered here at a congress, united by a huge, colossal unity with the light inside.

And although it escapes our comprehension, in reality nothing is wasted. You just need to dive inside, to your point in the heart and want to unite with other points. Then I will see that the light reigns between us and we are all united internally.

That is what we have to reveal. This, in fact, is the realization of the science of Kabbalah. Everything that we study, the worlds, the Partzufim, the Sefirot, is a connection that we reveal. When we enter our inner unity, then the measures of connection between us and the measures of disclosure and concealment of light make up the spiritual world.

Our relationship is divided into five levels: Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, and Adam Kadmon, up to a total, perfect connection called the “world of Infinity” where there is no limit to our relationship. And these levels, in turn, are divided into Partzufim and Sefirot. In the end, it is only there that we reveal what is written in the Torah, and in general, in all Kabbalistic books.

We have nowhere to run. We just need to constantly focus on the inner, deep level where we are interconnected. It all depends on everyone’s attentiveness: let the person not give up this aspiration.

That is where the big problem lies: How can we step inside, dive in again and again, until we reach this level, until we feel it between us, until we catch the waves of our interconnection, which will begin to connect each of us to the common system. Where can we get the power of desire, attention, empathy, and sensitivity?

Here, again, I need an environment. I can’t hold myself together for more than a moment alone. I can try, apply my mind and feeling, dive inside, want to be there, and hold on with my teeth, but in a second everything disappears.

Only the friends, who are already two million around the world, will help. Everyone should think about everyone, because they depend on everyone, and then I will help myself through others. That is not what I’m incapable of. But if I think about everyone, so that they think about it too and go to the same thing, then the common force, the common thought that I send to everyone will do its job, even if they don’t hear me.

Even if I only think about it quietly to myself, my desire for their benefit, which is called the “prayer of many,” it returns to me and helps me stay on the inner level, sinking deeper.

And therefore, working as a group, we should not disperse in different directions. You just need to focus on this inner point: how to keep ourselves in the deep layers of the group where we are united with each other. This applies equally to men and women.

The external must also be put at the service of the internal. As Baal HaSulam and Rabash write, we must talk about the importance of the goal, the importance of friends, and the importance of the group. After all, it gives me inspiration, confidence, and assurance so that I can get closer and closer to my inner level, until it opens up. And then I will feel that I have entered the inner, spiritual world.

Therefore, there is a law: “May man help his neighbor.” Only with mutual support will each of us be able to achieve spirituality. No one will ever be able to do it alone.

Stand Level with the Creator

703.03Question: If I am the creation of a perfect Creator, why can’t I, just as I am, simply be allowed to enjoy the ordinary life given by the Creator?

Answer: You can. But then you will turn into a little “bug” sitting on a piece of cake and consuming it your entire life. No one will disturb it: just as it began its life, so it will finish it. Do you want to be like that? By all means!

Question: But the Creator will not allow a person to remain in such a state?

Answer: Of course not. We must stand level with the Creator, rise to His degree, nothing less than that. Each person must take their place in the system of creation, at its specific, pivotal points. All the more so this must be attained by those who have received a special awakening toward the wisdom of governance.

Build a Place for the Revelation of the Creator

939.01To build a place for the revelation of the Creator means that a person must not only correct himself, but also receive the “bricks” for the construction from everyone else, which means to attach the desires of others.

Each person must use all the desires that exist in reality, the desires that are prepared by the Creator for the created beings. Everyone builds a complete Kli, a perfect place. It turns out that it must be built from 600,000 parts that were originally embedded in the foundation of the soul of Adam HaRishon, where each part, in turn, consists of 600,000.

The Kli that a person corrects from the foundations given to him is infinite. Although it is said that it is 620 times greater, in truth it is impossible even to say how many times greater or how much better in quality it is than the initial foundations that were prepared for building the Kli.

All the sensation of reality, all eternity and perfection, we attain only in this Kli, within the “place.” Therefore it is said that “there is nothing that has no place” because if something exists, if there is anything that we perceive as existing, it can only be within the “place,” according to the measure of its revelation.

And what we feel initially is the stage of Nefesh, the minimal, almost negligible sensation of life that is given to us only so that we can begin the work.

Recognize Our Nature

740.03Regarding the Creator, it is written, “And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain.”

Regarding the people, it is written, “And they stood at the foot of the mountain.”

Anything that is in the intellect is regarded as “in potential.” Afterward, it can expand into actual fact. Accordingly, we can interpret “And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain,” as the thought and intellect of man, meaning that the Creator informed all the people that the inclination of a man’s heart is evil from his youth. After the Creator informed them in potential, meaning at the top of the mountain, that which was in potential expanded in actual fact (Rabash, What Is Preparation for Reception of the Torah? – 1).

Question: What is the recognition of evil?

Answer: That which constantly obstructs me is called evil. The more it obstructs me, the more I want to kill it, erase it, and detach myself from it. If I reveal that it is literally killing me, then I am ready to do anything just to get rid of it to such an extent that people actually pay enormous sums of money to rid themselves of bad qualities, undergo various treatments, attend courses, and so on.

But here I begin to measure myself relative to another point, relative to the top of Mount Sinai, the point in the heart. Then everything that is below the mountain—that is, my nature, which is called “the people,” the people of Israel—I define as evil with respect to myself.

Either I associate myself with the mountain, with Moses who ascended it, or I bury myself beneath the mountain.

If I determine that for me it is evil to remain below the mountain and not on its summit, this is called the true recognition of evil. Then I truly need to receive the correction, to receive the Torah.

Two Parts in a Person: Intention and Action

234Question: Is there some special reason why in the article “Why the Speech of Shabbat Must Not Be as the Speech of a Weekday, in the Work” Rabash addresses the religious and not the secular?

Answer: This is indeed so because there is a necessity to perform the commandments on the material level.

We are built from two parts: intention and action. We need to make sure that intention is the determining factor, and action is the consequence of intention, rather than having intention without action, as if we are simply “fluttering” like angels.

If we perform an action without intention in which there is nothing, then we act like an animal that carries out commands. That is, a person who performs commands without the involvement of his personal desire is similar to an animal.

Therefore, it is said that “a commandment without intention is like a body without a soul.” As Baal HaSulam writes in the “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” a person must study, at least from a short guide, how to observe the commandments and truly fulfill them. But in addition to this, one must perfect oneself and constantly care about the intention through which you grow from below upward to the state of equivalence with the Creator, to the purpose of creation.
