Reboot the Spiritual Program

537Question: How can I feel that I am in a new program today?

Answer: If you wake up in the morning completely empty, understand nothing, see nothing, know nothing, and start everything from scratch like an animal as if there were no yesterday or previous years, this means that your program is being rebooted.

And the more you advance, the more frequent these sensations of zero become. In other words, you are being “rebooted” and everything is being reset because any new degree is built from scratch.

From the Common Desire

935Question: How can we connect with the Creator through the connection between us so that we can turn to Him?

Answer: Unite among you. And when you feel that there is something common between you, elevate that common desire so that the Creator feels your collective desire and wants to fill it.

Question: Where is the Creator in this collective desire?

Answer: Above it.

Question: What does it mean that the Creator is above our desires?

Answer: He feels all desires from top to bottom.

Forgetfulness in Spiritual Work

527.12Question: How should one relate to forgetfulness in spiritual work when one’s memory fades and sometimes it is even impossible to recognize people? Everything is forgotten.

Answer: If everything is forgotten to the extent that I look at my friends and practically do not even recognize them, it means that true renewal is taking place.

This happens at every level in spirituality. That is why it is very strange to even see people as if you do not know them.

It happens. You will get used to it. Life becomes more interesting, though.

Rewarded with Holiness

938.03Where there is labor, there is the Sitra Achra [other side], for the Sitra Achra is in deficiency (Baal HaSulam, Letter 55).

Question: What does it mean that we exert efforts in our connection with friends, and how will we be rewarded with holiness?

Answer: As long as we remain in egoistic desires, our efforts pass through a heavy barrier.

The moment we become bestowers efforts disappear and we joyfully and easily acquire the property of bestowal and remain in spirituality.

Here and now, in one hour, we can do much more than over a very long time thanks to many actions in the upper world.

How Can You Get Rid of Grievances against the Creator?

514.02Question: How can you get rid of grievances against the Creator?

Answer: What hurts you is what you need to pray about.

Let a person write down what he wants to address to the Creator, and then at different times of the day check whether what he wrote is correct. And if he feels that he wants to change his prayer, then this is a step forward.

Therefore, continue your work and try to constantly adjust the prayer slightly. Then you will see how the Creator responds to you accordingly. And if necessary, He will correct you.

The Opportunity to Rise Above

938.07Question: We say that if hatred toward a friend arises within you, you should outwardly show them love. But if a friend shows hatred toward me, is it my fault?

Answer: There is no fault of yours here! The Creator deliberately places you in this situation so that you can rise above it.

Question: What is the correct reaction to this situation?

Answer: Embrace your friend. He is giving you the opportunity to rise above.

Why should you take offense at him unless it concerns joint work in dissemination, translations, or other matters where disagreements arise for the sake of achieving a better result?

Otherwise, everything else is meant only for you to annul yourself.

The Prayer that is Accepted First

239Question: How does prayer affect us?

Answer: It acts on us through the Creator in such a way that later we can see what we are changing for.

Question: How do we achieve the prayer of the poor? Can we condition ourselves so this prayer is the one that is accepted first?

Answer: We can. That is why it is written that the most important prayer is the prayer of the poor who feels he has nothing and asks the Creator.

Question: What is the difference between prayer and plea?

Answer: A plea is probably much harder than prayer because it is an urgent request coming from the heart.

Appreciate the Time Spent Together

506.1If he does not appease her, he will not stay the night with her because their desire must be as one, without coercion (Zohar for All, Beresheet – 2, “Reconciliation and Receiving Permission”).

Comment: When a married couple has already formed, many people believe that they live together, have a common way of life, joint affairs, and agree that their relationship seems to fade away, becomes forgotten.

My Response: No, it should not be that way, because that is how all relationships end. That is why it is said: “If he does not appease her, he will not stay the night with her.”

Question: Why is it said: “Stay the night with her”?

Answer: First, it has always been customary that in the house a woman has her own section, while the husband, children, and male relatives have the other section. For example, all the men go to dine in the women’s section and then return to their own section to sleep.

Question: Is this a kind of spiritual law? What is it based on?

Answer: It is based on our nature. First, you must go to your wife and please her with whatever you can: give her a gift or at least a bouquet of flowers. Then she shows you her favor by coming to you.

Question: Why can’t we always be in the same space?

Answer: No, that is not good because you cannot be together all the time. Negligence and other negative feelings start to creep in. On the contrary, this distance helps to maintain a spiritual relationship.

Question: Why has humanity rejected this spiritual law of dividing the home into male and female sections?

Answer: We live, as in the song by Vysotsky, “There is only one bathroom for 38 rooms.” Our way of life has kind of canceled it. But there should be a house divided into two sections so that the woman understands that this is hers. And the man might only have a folding bed in his section, and that is enough for him.

Question: How can we achieve that kind of distance like 300 years ago in our time? Can it be maintained today to improve relationships?

Answer: I think so. It is good when the husband and wife each have something separate, and there are hours when they spend time together. Then, perhaps, they will value the time spent together more.
