Working on love of friends, to really feel them close to your heart, will correct one’s attitude to all of reality. Hatred of the world is disagreement with the Creator, who does all things and only does good. There are no people in the world who have any kind of free choice, except for the illusion that they are deciding what they do. So, I disagree with the Creator who is the one whose operating these puppets. It turns out that I want the Creator to change; while the Creator wants me to change first. I work on that change in the way I constantly upgrade my attitude to the friends. And I can start changing my attitude to the Creator by at least recognizing that it is with Him that I disagree and that that is not how I want to be. I want to agree with Him and change myself.

He’s right. He’s doing a good job, let him be. If let’s say I have such an argument can turn his world upside down; so then I erase him: he must drop everything and study Kabbalah. And in that, he’s no longer a Rav or anything else but someone who has to begin from zero. It’s forbidden to wrestle down a religious person. Besides, he has a role too.

For Kabbalists, “we shall do” means that toward the next degree, I’m always like a child, zero, a beginner. I have to thus go above reason, and then after I fully do that, I’ll “hear”, understand, attain.

Unsolvable problem of spacetime.

There’s an inanimate level propriety to certain things. But Kabbalists worry about that only in a secondary way. Extreme example: Kabbalists from Kotsk celebrated Shabbat on a Wednesday- if that’s when they reached that state. That’s not for our kindergarten to start toying with. But the most important flow to be in is that of the world Kli. What everyone is doing will be closest to the goal because even wrong together is blessed.

Hi Jelena,

I can only say that it’s normal and part of the process. There exist a number of states before a person, which are predefined. One of them is the emergence of the Point in the Heart. It doesn’t belong to this world. What is it actually? The rest of this world is one’s desires to receive pleasure, while now appears within me a desire that isn’t like those desires. Were it for ice cream, I’d know what to do – but with this new desire, it’s in me, bothering me, because it’s a desire that has no fulfilment in our world. One of the most intense desires I’ve seen is a long-time smoker who for many hours now can’t smoke. Now you can offer him any other pleasure in the world – he’s truly not interested in those, but only in the one, most important thing for him right now: smoking. But at least he knows what he needs. With the Point in the Heart, I can’t find fulfillment for it because its fulfilment is truly across a Barrier that separates our world from the spiritual world. As with the smoker for whom food, sex, family, money, etc. ar all fine but don’t give him the only thing he really wants and therefore these pleasures become quite muted for him, the Point in the Heart is really the most vitally important thing in reality, and thus dims other pleasures. So what do I do? I need to develop this Point in the Heart to a greater extent so that inside it I can begin to feel the spiritual reality. It’s like a dot of matter inside a womb. What I feel in it is barely called existence yet. It’s some preliminary cells. If it develops, it will start feeling the spiritual reality. It’s my soul, an eternal thing, the feeling of which transforms my whole feeling of reality.

In short, it’s a stage one just has to go through.

The truth is that all one’s desires are, by design, utterly for oneself, and all I can do is what’s called exchanging a cow for a donkey. I change this egoistic desire for another egoistic calculation. What I need is only to draw the Surrounding Light from the study and the work with the spiritual society. That will make the corrections. And a better focus from moment to moment is to try to be in the feeling that the Creator controls all of reality. Me, my thoughts, everything.
