Among the people called Israel there isn’t love toward each other, and from this comes all other problems. That’s what all the Kabbalists write. As long as there isn’t unity among the people, the tap for the Upper Light is closed, and the world feels that there is a certain someone sitting on the tap of all good things. And so to the extent life feels bad, they feel like making life bad for this people too. Onto this visceral feeling in the other people in the world they clothe various accusations and justifications, but those reasons change over the generations, while what’s eternal is the hatred of this people called Israel at all times except when it does what it is destined to do, which is be “a Light to the Nations,” which means to be united as “one man with one heart.” If this happens, their neighbors will run to join that one heart, which will be a vessel for the Creator to fill all of reality. If they don’t unite, that is, instead of being this special person with a role toward humanity and their connection to the purpose of creation, I just want to be “like everyone else”, then the system of nature will come after me, in the form of peoples and other forces of nature, and deal with me harshly to show me that -no – have to behave differently, according to my special role, meaning the work in intention and connection.
The Reforming Light can do everything. There are no bigger or smaller problems for it. To the extent I want a solution, which will be different than any solutions I imagine, it will untangle and correct everything.
Hi Sagar,
You’re right, there’s something to question there. We won’t be able to clarify it all the way because it’s Baal HaSulam.
Gilad Shadmon was asked about sharing inner states at the congress and his simple answer was “keep something for just the Creator.” What to keep, is one’s own scrutiny.
It’s certain that I need to disclose to my friends and advertise the greatness of the path, the greatness of the Creator, while remembering I must be inferior, the lowest of all of them. Then, when a friend speaks, it’s the Shechina speaking from his throat, and I need to drink up the Light that comes from him. This circle of influence is possible without anyone disclosing their inner states.
There’s still a reality that is according to that uncorrected person’s perception, that they still dwell in a shattered perception. A Kabbalist can reveal all the degrees of perception, but cannot open up the World of Truth for others. After all, they don’t want it yet, and “there’s no coercion in spirituality.” They have smaller, nearer goals they’re still busy with. And to the extent of the Kabbalist’s Equivalence with the Creator, he suffers from this fact – that people are both suffering and don’t want to come out of it in a way that accords with the laws of reality. I heard also that for such a Kabbalist there is also something that is not revealed and cannot be until that last soul corrects himself, through his free choice, and joins all the others who await him in the Garden of Eden.
No, there’s a correction that only the Creator knows how to do, called Lishma, where He gives us a new nature, so that I am like Him, and our mutual dependency is revealed, as “there is no Light without a Kli,” no Creator without a Created Being. He’s really suffering without His Created Being and we, on the other hand, can wait until tomorrow or next week…
Thanks Ruth, glad you’re with us.
Gamification is possible to an extent, it could be good, but we have to think about it. Though the whole world is now used to being paid in little dopamine hits, for the real spiritual payment a person will have to learn to work in more serious ways – with texts, longer lessons, and so on. The laws of reality by which Kabbalists for thousands of years had to rise through the spiritual degrees, do not change. And it’s not certain that I become optimally compatible with these laws by the fact that nowadays people have become like lab mice trained to constantly grab their device and press buttons. It could even be that less “engagement” and more thinking is closer to the spiritual goal.
