Question:
How do the horrors of the Holocaust combine with the principle of
“There is none else besides Him” and “He is good that does good”?
Answer: There is none else besides the Creator;
He is consistently good and does good, while we are opposite to Him.
And hence, not reforming ourselves, we provoke the development and
strengthening of the negative forces. In the world, only we possess free will.
In reality, there is a balance of forces. However, in the process of
exploring them, man tends to bring into the picture his own resentments,
pains, and impressions, as well as worries and fears, along with the
burden of his personal history.
When we approach something with our own
instruments, we should study natural phenomena rather than the
subjective factors that make us laugh or cry. As a true scientist, I
research the forces of nature that in our world generated a form called
Nazism. Who could have prevented it? Why did everything occur as it did?
This is what the research shows: A force
that is good and does good acts upon us from Above, and there is nothing
else besides it. The upper Light
remains at absolute rest; it is invariable, and its laws are
indisputable. One could provide many citations, and all of them prove
but one thing: The Creator’s force and the program of creation don’t
change because of our cries. They are constant and are moved by the
engine that drives us to the end of correction.
The more we correspond to this process, the
better our condition is. The less aligned to it we are, the more
misfortunes befall us and we feel worse. Everything depends on our
choice.
Essentially, the blows we receive assist
our correction, but thereby we advance by the path of hardships and
pain, which will bring us to the destination at a designated time. If,
however, we study the system and seek an opportunity to adapt to it, we
can advance along with the system, in accordance with it. Thereby,
instead of being hit, we can evolve by taking a pleasant path of
hastening time.
One way or the other, everything depends on
us, on how we integrate ourselves into the mechanism that advances us
and the whole humanity forward. Moreover, we are the only ones who can
do it, unlike all other nations. Before anything else, Israel must
become a model of a new, integral, global humanity, of “altruistic
communism,” as Baal HaSulam defined it.
Having prepared ourselves for it, we will
justify our existence. We have been chosen only for this. Only through a
small group can the method of correction be brought into the world.
Therefore, there is no other option: We
will either accomplish what we are supposed to, and then the entire
world will be well, or, God forbid, we will choose the unpleasant path
as it previously happened in history. There is no use in sitting and
crying; we have to examine and evaluate all the factors and be very
serious about it. This is what characterizes sensible and wise people,
unlike little children who can only cry, which is exactly what the
nation is doing so far.
