It’s difficult to imagine loving those who commit acts of terrorism. Is there really an expectation to show compassion to terrorists? Wouldn’t that risk making the world less safe? For instance, if instead of stopping them, we simply responded with kindness after they carried out an atrocity, like the mass murder of civilians, wouldn’t that undermine justice and security? and make it easier for them to commit another similar act.
Moshe,
Soon in your study you will have the opportunity to be part of a group where we apply what we learn.
Due to the structure of reality, within this structure, by making corrections there in love, this is the most effective way to effect the system.
We as kabbalists are not going out to find the most vicious criminals and try to love them.
Those acts they do are already results of thousands and thousands of small actions that preceded them.
We are aiming to the root of all of the problems.

To discover a new perception of the concept of “love others precisely as you love yourself” is an exciting journey to be engaged in. I know that this is the sum of the commandments — Love the LORD with all your heart, soul, and mind — and love others as yourself. I love the idea that this is beyond what we “do” in the corporeal world, and drawing us toward changing/gaining our perception of the whole…as we practice meeting the need of the others we actually meet the need of the self—to be like the Creator — altruistic and bestowing—in a spiritual world perception that creates an intention to improve the state of self “by” improving the state of the others— which is actually the complete self. We are being called to understand — seeking one to stand in the “gap”. Ezekiel 22:30
In this story which is the friend ? Is it the ego or is the one giving the pillow to the other the ego ?
What does it mean that we begin by correcting the smallest desires first? How do we know what the smallest desire is? How do we identify the desires and rank them from smallest to greatest?
Thanks
Robert,
As you learn the laws of nature and you start working with others in your kabbalistic group, you start to discover places where you can increase in love. Let’s say for example you are in a group of 10 men and with one of them you see a place to increase love and with another one, just the sight of him annoys you, you can’t stand him, when he speaks you feel disgust, so let’s leave correcting that on the side for the time being and work with what we can for now. Later we will have more forces and more connection in the group and we will be able to move more and more to the side of holiness.
