¿Dónde puedo encontrar el plano o croquis (blueprint) mediante el cual pueda comprender el propósito que el Creador tiene para mi existencia?
google translation of the question:
Where can I find the blueprint through which I can understand the Creator’s purpose for my existence?

Hi Enrique,
The general purpose for all of us is to reach adhesion with the Creator.

Our own personal role in that process of reaching adhesion with the Creator, depends on the root of our soul.

¿Cómo puedo entrenarme para discernir entre el camino del Sufrimiento y el camino de la luz, de manera tal que mis decisiones se adecuen al pensamiento de la Creación, es decir, que se correspondan con el plan de Dios?
google translation of the question:
How can I train myself to discern between the path of suffering and the path of light, so that my decisions are in line with the thought of Creation, that is, in accordance with God’s plan?

Hi Enrique,
We don’t make that choice directly, rather, we choose to place ourselves in a strong spiritual environment, and as a result of that choice, we have the strength to advance by the path of light.
It’s like with a seed. If we plant it in fertile ground, then it’ll get all the right nutrients and grow. If we put it in the desert or just keep it on a shelf somewhere, nothing will come out of it at all. So all of our work boils down to finding the best spiritual environment in which to plant that seed. And what will ultimately happen to that seed is a result of the environment we put it into. We’ll learn more about this in the next semester, when we study the topic of freedom.

Shalom instructors,
I have three questions:
1) Is there a relationship between the words Masach and Mashiach?
2) Does the Creator awaken the point in the heart due to His Will or does it awaken as a natural part of the evolution and re-incarnation of the soul?
3) Is the ultimate goal to transcend our humanity or to become a complete/mature/whole human-being?
Thank you.
With Love,
Raymond Franklin
Hi Raymond,
1. Masach is Hebrew for screen. It’s the anti-egoistic screen thanks to which perceive spirituality.
Mashiach is Hebrew for messiah. In Kabbalah, the Messiah is not a person but a force. Mashiach comes from the Hebrew verb “to pull” (Moshech). This is the force that has the ability “to pull” us out of our egoistic nature into the Creator’s nature of love and bestowal.
Essentially you can say that the force of the Mashiach helps us to build the Masach.

2. All of humanity is part of a single system. Within this singular system, there is a certain order of corrections that need to take place. It’s like building a large jigsaw puzzle. First you start with all the corner pieces, and only then do you gradually work your way to the center. It’s the same with our spiritual work. There are those that are awakened to this work earlier and those that are awakened to it later. Those that received awakened points in the hearts are like those corner pieces of the puzzle that need to start the whole process. Later on, due to their good work, they pave the way for the rest of the world to join this process.
3. The ultimate goal is to reach adhesion with the Creator. Check out this blog post from Rav Laitman for more details: https://laitman.com/2019/04/the-purpose-of-creation/

But if I need to change the way I perceive events, since everything is the plan of something greater from the creator, that is, even a tsunami is something good, then nothing is bad? Do I have to be content with everything, since everything is good? So I shouldn’t do anything to change the world because everything is good? All I can do is conform and believe that everything is good, since everything is the will of the creator?
Hi Jose,
We learn from the Kabbalists that every single moment comes to us directly from the Creator, this is called “there is none else besides Him”. Furthermore, they also say that He is the “good that does good”. Meaning that every moment He is sending us nothing but goodness. But why then don’t we see this in our world? Why do we see so much suffering and problems in the world?
This is because our world is governed by our egoistic nature. This egoistic nature is opposite to the Creator’s nature. Because of that, it inverts the Creator’s goodness into something bad. It’s just like multiplying numbers: a positive times a negative equals negative.
So as long as we remain within this egoistic nature, we will continue to see and feel more suffering and bad things in the world. But if we correct our nature to be similar to the Creator’s nature, then we will reveal the true reality in which only goodness exists, and our previous egoistic state would appear as nothing more than a dream.
