Everything Passes through the Creator

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:57 am

Question: There are states in the ten where there seems to be enough of everything. But everyone always has some kind of Hissaron because we see what is happening in the world. Is it worthwhile calculating to add a new Hissaron to the ten that I feel at this moment? After all, this is contrary to raising the friend’s spirit.

Answer: If you strive to raise the friend’s spirit, that is exactly what you do. In Kabbalah, everything depends on what you consider necessary to do right now.

Your entire life should be divided into some stages of your attitude to your friends, books, songs, and everything. In other words, you must clearly understand for whom, for what, why, what, and when you need to do it. And then you will not have any problems.

Question: So I can always reveal the true state, that there is a lack of bestowal from me, from the ten, to the world Kli and the whole world.

It turns out that there are my personal feelings and my prayers, and there is what the ten’s state is. And if I bring too much Hissaron, will my friends lose faith in this?

Answer: No, don’t worry. Everything passes through the Creator. Therefore, all our requests and thoughts are smoothed out and come to the friends in the right form. And if it is not in the proper form, then this, too, is the Creator’s decision.

Dissemination Is the Condition for Spiritual Elevation

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:52 am

We are at the final stage of the development and correction of humanity called the last generation. This is a special mission of the souls that are now undergoing correction and must enter the sensation and revelation of the upper world of the Creator and take all of humanity with them.

Before our time, there were many Kabbalists, but they attained the Creator individually, except for the special group of Rabbi Shimon. There were no other groups at all, just a few individuals who passed on the chain of this knowledge further and further.

Today, there are small Kabbalistic groups here and there working in different ways. Of course, I wish them success since any action is a joint action that awakens the common soul and leads us to complete correction. So individual successes still affect the overall success; therefore, it is very joyful to see the emergence of such groups.

But we are the first group that works for general dissemination within Israel and throughout the world for the sake of all of humanity. We represent, as it were, the brightest part of all souls, called the last generation.

Therefore, new properties are revealed in us according to the conditions we must fulfill to correct the whole Kli—the entire soul of Adam.

So we have a special account with the Creator. But for this, we must expand our ranks and disseminate more and more because dissemination is one of the conditions for our spiritual elevation.

In other words, the group is built in such a way that without dissemination, it immediately narrows and falls. Our whole life is only in dissemination, in growing, in constantly attracting new friends to us, and thus lead all of humanity to overall correction.

Moreover, this process is exponential. So, it does not matter to us how far we are from the goal today, as it seems to us. The main thing is to achieve the goal, and everyone else will gradually join us. They will begin to raise us to the extent that we start to rise.

In Reason and in Faith

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:48 am

Question: Can we feel which actions are prompted by reason and which by faith above reason?

Answer: If we could do something against reason, in faith, we would feel it. But for now, we cannot determine what we should have by faith above reason. Therefore, whatever we do is always within reason.

Question: How does work in faith above reason differ between a righteous person and a sinner?

Answer: A righteous person acts in bestowal despite reason and above reason and a sinner acts within reason when he sees that it is worthwhile to do so. The righteous person gradually develops the intention to be in faith above reason through requests and prayers. He attempts to turn to the Creator, sees that it does not work, and asks the Creator to help him.

The Ten Is Your Soul

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:40 am

Question: What should I focus on in my work in the ten?

Answer: Focus on making the ten more precious to you than yourself because it is your spiritual vessel, your soul. Consider how your soul, the eternal spiritual level, should be more valuable to you than your body. The body is the temporary animalistic level, but the soul is the eternal spiritual level and through it you enter attainment of the Creator.

Therefore, the most important thing is to have several friends within whom you feel your soul resides. Let’s say there are a few people, maybe five or six, and in them your soul exists. This is crucial. You feel that without them, you have no soul.

If you constantly depict yourself in relation to your ten in this way, you will soon notice the changes that are occurring between you. It will be the Creator Himself who starts to speak with you in this way.

The Light Will Do Its Work

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:33 am

Question: When I think that it is advantageous for me to follow the Kabbalists or that I have no other choice, I immediately fall below reason. How can I constantly stay in a point above reason?

Answer: Engage in study with any intention; the main thing is to study, and later it will change.

During the study, the upper light will influence you, which will gradually transform you.

Question: The ability to tell your body “do it,” and it obeys—is this some special quality? Suppose I do not feel that I can do this. Is this a certain degree in bestowal?

Answer: This is a degree where you receive light from above, and it helps you perform actions in which you do not even feel anything.

How Can We Protect Ourselves from Pride?

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:27 am

Question: Is the feeling of being righteous a manifestation of spiritual pride? How can I protect myself from this state?

Answer: To protect yourself from thoughts that you want to be righteous or that you have already become righteous, you need to engage in collective work within a group and try to rise with the help of the Creator. Then you will feel when you can rise and when you cannot. In this process, you will experience alternating states of “righteous – wicked,” “righteous – wicked.”

At that point everything will work out for you. You will clearly know what state you are in.

How to Maintain the Point of Connection with the Creator?

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:21 am

Question: How can we maintain the point of connection with the Creator?

Answer: Always stay connected with Him. What is He doing? What does He desire? What do I wish to give Him? To Him or from Him? You need to be in such contact as if you are on a direct line with the Creator and never leave this connection.

Question: The fact is that the obstacles sent by the Creator are sometimes stronger than us because they also include the force of the Creator. How can one remain in connection with Him under these circumstances?

Answer: There is no need to overthink it. Assume that you always have the opportunity to contact the Creator. Reach out to Him and maintain this connection.

Suffering that Brings Us Closer to the Creator

Posted on September 15th, 2024 at 7:16 am

Question: Will we be able to achieve true pleasure without suffering?

Answer: It depends on the kind of suffering. There are sufferings of love when I strive for the one I love, and for me it is suffering.

Question: How can we begin to regret the lack of love so this suffering will bring us closer to the Creator?

Answer: We need to think about it and discuss it with our friends. In this way each of you will receive various definitions from others of what connection is, what separation is, how far you are from the Creator, and so on.

The Creator is waiting for you to understand where you are and how you are connected to each other and Him, which enables you to move forward. It all comes from above, from Him.
