I look for, in every state and situation, what is desired of me, from those who are outside of me. Not what I want, and not even what I would have liked to give, but what do they want to see from me now? This way, I study from the Creator my future states – through this powerful environment that allows me to, for once, put myself completely under the control of the Upper Light. But I would say that even if I’m not ready for all that, it’s worthwhile to come to the Retreat. Everyone will advance greatly.
Despite appearances and our understanding – reality doesn’t change by the means you’re suggesting. It’s like fighting the wind. Baal HaSulam calls this “the weakness of world-reformers.” Not just here but in every scenario, one is inclined to respond that way – to decry, to force. In short, I want reality to change – and it’s not me who is the only one who really needs to change because all that I see in the world is a projection of my own qualities. To show me what’s hidden in my intentions, the Creator shows me specifically this picture of reality. And through the wisdom of Kabbalah, He is willing to change me – and then I would see a different picture in reality. In another way I would prefer to change it instead? So then, from such actions one only learns Who one stands against – the Creator who makes this picture the way it is and doesn’t permit it to truly change by any other means.
This calculation is especially sharp toward those who have already found the wisdom of Kabbalah.
There’s such a thing as dissemination, but that’s either to those who have the Point in the Heart – in which case you give them a book on Kabbalah; or it’s to those who don’t have a Point in the Heart, but there it has to be by proof of how the Upper Force can resolve differences when we connect. You need to sit with both parties in a circle and do a workshop, for example. There, no one gets to fight for his position or for his side or negate the other. And if they work in this way, the Upper Force makes peace between them by elevating them to a higher degree than the problems.
These are the permitted forms of dissemination. So you have to see if there are such opportunities or not.
Here, you know especially when you can do the work as if you’re in an ascent, though you don’t feel you’re in an ascent. That’s how you know you’re in an ascent.
It’s because Kabbalah is a method of attaining the Upper World and only talks about that. Except if a Kabbalah student is asking, you can mention that if one is already studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and is engaged in feuds in their personal lives, that’s certainly opposite to connection, and thus, opposite to correction, and thus lengthens the path of suffering. I should know that that’s not how a Kabbalist would behave, so that I can decide if I prefer to follow the masses, or follow the Kabbalists.
Yes, but you have to give full support to your family. The Creator gave you that, and now you need to work from the state He gave. It’s like if you and I get under a barbell and I can lift 200 and you can lift 100. From your state, you might gain more than I, depending on your efforts. In spirituality, only the effort out of the particular state one is given, is relevant to spiritual advancement. Conversely, if I could have lifted 220 but only lifted 200, my advancement is zero. But from all of your possibilities, you have to give 100% – because your effort has to be an expression of how much you want spirituality, with as correct an intention as possible. This is all that is needed: an expression to the Upper Light that I, from my state, am doing what I can. It knows how to take care of everything from there.
Well, there’s so much spin on the news it’s impossible that a person truly knows what’s going on. So, two or more people who all don’t know what’s going on, get together and fight about which distorted truth they decided to glom onto. And I glom onto one or the other based on inner inclinations that are also quite removed from the logic they dress in. Only a Kabbalist who feels the inner forces of nature could truly understand what’s happening in an objective way. Therefore, it’s better for me to stay calm and at least have the wisdom to not be a puppet – that is, to fight with others over something none of us really understand. Otherwise, the main thing for the media is to divide people, and I’m being operated by them, and my friends and family are being divided by them.
All that is missing in our world is the revelation of the Upper Light among all people. Due to the lack of that, it appears that all kinds of other things are lacking – land, money, etc. There is a certain people who — due to a spark that remains from their connection to the Light, following their gathering under Abraham — now have the ability to connect, open the faucet of Light to the whole world, and serve as an example of connection for the whole world. The others in humanity can’t connect without this example, and so can’t receive the Light. This is what they’re really lacking, and don’t realize it’s what their lacking. But what they do have is a feeling, an inner suspicion, about who might be sitting on the tap, blocking the Light from fulfilling them – and this is what they feel whenever that people is doing absolutely anything other than building this connection. Then, in order to justify their inner claim somehow, they clothe it onto various other accusations, to which there is no limit or end. But there is one button to push that solves all of them. How? The Upper Light knows how. And nothing else will work; but instead, make it much worse, to teach us with ever-greater severity, that only connection between us, arvut, unity, bestowal, love of others, can be a solution.
We see in the world today compared to, say, 15 years ago how things have changed on the world stage for that group of Abraham. This trend will just continue to multiply until we find the right solution. And, again, it’s not that this political solution or that political solution will help. The Creator won’t stand for an alternative solution to the one suggested by Kabbalists, and will pressure us until we see it that way.
