Kabbalah Is a Sensory Transmission of Information

521Kabbalah is a sensory transmission of information. The terms used in it are not found in any language. They are not even taken from Hebrew, but from the language of the wisdom of Kabbalah. Therefore we take such Kabbalistic definitions as Sefirot, Partzufim, Reshimot, etc. into any language.

Question: Are you saying that this is not Hebrew?

Answer: Of course, it is not Hebrew. Partzuf is “a face” in Hebrew and in Kabbalah it is the structure of a spiritual object.

Comment: But the word is still the same, and it is used in Hebrew.

My Response: Yes, but it has a completely different meaning, even a different root. For example, “Reshimot“. In Hebrew, of course, there is the word “Roshem,” “Reshima”—“record,” “list,” but in Kabbalah, the word “Reshimo” means information.

Or, for example, a screen, Masach: of course, there is a computer screen, a TV screen, which is “Masach,” and there is Masach—in the soul. But “Masach in the soul” has a completely different meaning—“to act.” That is, the language of Kabbalah means that it is detached from all other languages ​​and from all of us.

What difference does it make whether you speak your native language or Hebrew or English? If you are an egoist, then you speak an egoistic language. And if you have already acquired the qualities of bestowal and love, then you speak an altruistic language, and this is the language of Kabbalah. That is, the meaning is completely different in every word, in every definition.

To Those Who Really Want It, It Will Be Revealed

961.2There is only one counsel then: to cling to his teacher and to the books… Only by clinging to them can he change his mind and will for the better. However, witty arguments will not help him change his mind, but only the remedy of Dvekut [adhesion], for this is a wondrous cure, as the I reforms him (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 25, “Things that Come from the Heart“).

If a student wants to adhere to the teacher’s thought or desire, then he joins in them and unites with that thought and desire, which then become close and dear to him. As a result, all of one’s own thoughts and desires undergo correction and bow before the new desire and new thought.

Everything depends on how much one can perceive the teacher’s attitude and inner intention, cling to it, and separate from any other form of connection, whether with friends or the outside world. Then one begins to feel how tightly he has managed to adhere to the teacher, and from this, strength and desire to cling to the Creator will arise.

Any student, in any condition, has the opportunity to realize this aspiration. And to one who truly desires it, as it is said: “It will be revealed to him.”

If you yearn for adhesion, that very yearning begins to influence you and draw you closer.
Everything depends on a person’s desire, on their willingness to detach from the self-centered core and to stick to the new center of adhesion, one that is internally closer to the friends.

The advice, “Make for yourself a Rav (teacher),” means a person’s inner desire is to get closer to the center of creation.

The Saving Force of the Group

938.07The force that can pull a person out of their egoistic prison arises from the difference in potential between their personal state and the collective attitude of the group, the environment. The force of the group’s desire, which is stronger than the force of a person’s egoism, passes the yearning to break free to them, as if throwing them a rope and pulling them out.

Torah—A Pressing Need

933Throughout history, spiritual corrections occurred in order. The first to do so was a man named Abraham and a small group of his disciples. At that time, they did not need a mutual guarantee since they had a small Aviut (coarseness), and they were very close to each other since the desire to receive had not yet been revealed.

Each one of them felt the upper force, and the “advice” conveyed by Abraham was enough to be one with the Creator because they fulfilled the entire Torah due to their purity. Other nations of the world had no need for religions. In their cultures at that time there was still a certain personal attitude to nature.

Then the people of Israel descended to Egypt where they absorbed an additional desire to receive from the Egyptians.

The increase of Aviut (coarseness) in the people of Israel after their exodus from Egypt and during the period of the First and Second Temples coincided with parallel processes in other nations: Rome replaced Greece; Greek mythology collapsed along with the previous level of Aviut. In Rome, a process of forming religion began; in India—Buddha; in China—Confucius, and so on.

In other words, it is precisely the growing Aviut throughout humanity that causes the corresponding human reaction—a person begins to search.

Therefore, as their desire to receive increased, the group that had been in Dvekut (adhesion) with the Creator since the time of Abraham needed a new method to remain in that adhesion and even strengthen it, or in other words, they needed a new method in order to take another step toward returning to the state of Adam HaRishon.

Thus it became necessary for them to receive the Torah and reach a new level of connection among themselves that was different from before. They now needed a method of how to preserve the same idea of adhesion with the Creator on a new level of Aviut. This method is called the Torah.

Mutual Guarantee—The General Law of the Universe

929All of Israel are guarantors for each other. Guarantors for each other is our state when we are in Adam HaRishon, in a common soul. The state we initially existed in is a perfect state, created like this from above, and we must come to it ourselves, from below, from this world.

From the state called the soul of Adam HaRishon (the First Man), which is united with the Creator in perfection, eternity, in complete similarity to the Creator, all laws descend to us. And we, who are at the lowest level, the furthest from this state, must gradually implement, fulfill, and apply these laws to ourselves, and thus advance and return to the same state.

Thus, mutual guarantee (Arvut) is a common law that must exist between us if we want to come to correction, a state called “one soul,” from which this law, like all other laws, or “advice” for our corrections, comes to us.

Humanity’s Urgent Task

214Question: Until a certain time, all congresses were related to the preparation period. And now the congresses mark a new period—a period of correction. Everyone feels something new is emerging. What is it and how can we make the most of this state?

Answer: The world does not yet understand that it is at a completely new stage of development that is marked by qualitative changes.

The period of the previous egoistic development of the world has ended. The old paradigm is over; the paradigm where the more power, money, and knowledge means that you have more confidence in the future, more power, wealth, and everything else.

All these selfish accumulations, values, power, and achievements mean nothing in the new world because strength and success are defined differently in it. They are determined by the measure of correct interaction between the parts of creation, between all parts of nature.

We are already seeing this in ecology, in society, and between countries—everywhere. That is, one who knows how to interact with everyone correctly will survive and succeed. This is a law of global nature, and we have now entered this new phase.

For example, a child up to a certain age, say up to three or four years old, does not feel other children. They only present an opportunity to take something away from them, that is all. He does not understand the possibility of communicating with them.

But starting from the age of four or five, he makes friends. He plays with them, wants to get closer to his friends, and do something together. He is slowly moving away from nannies and gets closer to his friends.

From that point on, friends take on a very important place in the children’s environment. Then leaders are formed, all kinds of divisions into groups, subgroups, and so on. That is, a person is already becoming social.

Such a transition from individual, egoistic development to social development, which begins at the turn of four or five years of age, is taking place in humanity today.

Now everything will be determined by correct interactions, not by forming alliances as in: “I am against you in an alliance with the rest because I am tougher than you.” No! Namely, the correct, harmonious relationship between the parts of creation in accordance with the general law of nature. That is, we must conform to nature.

And this harmony will force us to become more and more environmentally correct, to fit into the whole picture of nature. Such a holistic approach will be in high demand, otherwise we will not survive.

People will see that all problems—banking, social, political, family—all collapse precisely because we have to move to a new system of relationships.

This system completely contradicts our egoistic, animal approach to nature, to ourselves, and to others. Therefore we will need to transform ourselves, become social, and think that the benefit of society is my benefit, the health of society is my health, and the success of society is my success.

This is so hard! Even impossible! Therefore we will have to break ourselves even more.

First, we must realize this is the case and we cannot escape. We suddenly find ourselves in such a world. So what do we do with it? We must find some hidden forces in nature to help us be in correct communication with nature.

Finding these forces is today’s task of mankind. We do not see them clearly, closely, actually; therefore, we try to escape this very task, that is, “it is impossible to solve, so there is no problem, so we close our eyes.” It will not work! The ostrich policy will not work here because the whole development is moving in this direction.

Kabbalah offers its own method of solution. It does not insist it is correct, and does not impose any dictatorial ways. It only says what it has to offer: “Check me out. See for yourself. And if so, take it and implement it.” That is all.

The Fairy Tale of Our Life Will Have a Happy Ending

294.4There are many adults in our world who enjoy watching fairy tales even though they know they are just fairy tales.

Question: Why is that? To escape reality?

Answer: It is more real than our life, actually.

Question: Fairy tales are more real than our life? But what is the reality in a fairy tale?

Answer: That justice is rewarded, loyalty is rewarded.

Question: Is that really so?

Answer: It is, but all this has to go through many twists and turns, through all sorts of corners and labyrinths of our egoism.

Question: So do fairy tales actually tell about what will truly happen?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Will good triumph over evil?

Answer: Definitely. Otherwise, nothing would have begun.

Question: Are fairy tales precisely the ones that end well?

Answer: They all must have a good ending because it is predetermined from the very beginning.

Question: And fairy tales with a bad ending, what about them?

Answer: There is no such thing. That means they are unfinished.

Question: Are they something the author did not finish, did not have time?

Answer: Yes, something remains unsaid.

Comment: So a fairy tale is written…

My Response: From the end. But the good ending must contain the whole structure: the setup, the development, the climax, in short, everything, and necessarily a good ending. It is all conceived from the start.

My conclusion is this: a fairy tale should begin with an introduction. Then there must be some demonstrative process—educational, accusatory, and so on. The characters should fall apart and be dissatisfied with what’s happening: this one wanted to kill and could not, that one wanted to escape and did not manage, these two wanted to marry and it did not work, and so on.

That is, within the whole setup, they cannot figure out who is writing this fairy tale. The Creator! When they gradually despair of their own solutions, each in their own way, and do not know what to do, then they begin to understand that they are under the control of the upper governance, and only then do things start working, coming together. It turns out that this upper governance, this upper force, brings them to the right solution.

Comment: To a good ending. And good triumphs.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Were you actually talking about our time now?

Answer: It is precisely in our time that this upper force begins to reveal itself in various states, when humanity has no other answer to its questions but to say: this is the upper force.

Comment: This not-so-kind fairy tale which humanity sees, starts to shift…

My Response: And then it becomes kind! Because it points you to the highest solution, to the one who started it, who conceived it, started to develop and shape it, and is now about to complete it.

Question: Are we being led to love, to happiness? Straight there?

Answer: Yes!
