Become A Kli That Reveals The Upper Light

Every future convention becomes the next level after the previous convention. But the present convention in Saint Petersburg is unique.

People are arriving and gathering here who prepared for it intensively during the summer, this is the Sochi group. All the rest joined them, all of those who study with us. Generally, our strongest representatives from all the groups gather here.

So in thinking about the work that was done, I hope that we can gather and attain such a state that our connection will be equal to the first phase of the Light, and then we discover it within us. For essentially there is no Light. What we call Light is a mutual characteristic of bestowal and love that we discover between us on the first most minimal level.

Baal HaSulam uses the example of an electric current. We don’t know what it is, but we see its manifestation in the warmth of the wire in a lamp, or the working of some system, working apparatus, motors and so forth. This means that we are always talking about the result, about the discovery of some force that is working, but that we don’t understand.

That is also how it is here. When we very much want to discover the unique force of nature, then it is discovered. It exists, but it is intangible to us. And in order to feel it, we must make it possible for it to act somewhere, to be discovered in something. This is exactly like an electric current; as long as we don’t apply it to something, we don’t know if it exists or not.

According to the same principle, work is done also with the higher general energy, which includes within it all the rest of the types of energy that we call “Light.” We must make ourselves such a device, which reveals this Light that causes it, summons its movement, and we become a Kli, a means, a mechanism, a basis through which it will be discovered.

To do this we must try to connect among us, to adapt ourselves constantly to the characteristic of the Light. The moment that our state, our efforts, the unity between us, reaches a minimal resemblance to the Light, it will then begin to be discovered.

From the Convention In St. Petersburg 9/18/14, Preparatory Lesson 2

The Daily Direction 9.30.14

Start by : Judge your friend favorably

How do I center my attention on the intention that rides on top of the desire, rather than the desire itself? I want to buy such glasses that I can sort out only by intention and say, this the inner body, this is the middle, and this is the outer.

This is a "shell" because I cannot change the intent on it, on those desires.

And this is "holiness," that in those desires I am found in the right intention, and those are still the shell of  Venus “Klipat Noga,” desires which we still need to sort out and try to attach them to "in order to bestow," to the inner body.

So the question is, how do I get to the point where I constantly check and sort intentions rather than desires? The desires do not matter to me at all. Thus, we begin to see the world differently. We examine the people and do not know if it's right or wrong: a thief, a murderer, maybe a rude man, a man that bursts out, goes figure out or tries to know his real intention; he could be doing a “Mitzvah.”

A good use of this desire is called "Mitzvah."

That is why it’s called the wisdom of the hidden, that I really start to see the world upside down. We start to see everything in a different way. So how will we approach and see the world by the intent and not by the desires?

I give an opening line to begin by: "Judge your friend favorably."

I must always judge them favorably and then with this same attitude I start to see the world through intentions. This way I start to tell the difference between how to look at the world, how to look at society.

In society, I look as if everyone is in "order to bestow,” it is called "Judge your friend favorably,"  and at the rest of the world I relate to them as they are.

In this manner I start to get a sense of what is called to look at the intentions rather than at the actions. [Part A, 29 min].

I am willing to stay the way I am, help them in something, anything, in order for them to attain what they want to

Here, in my inner body where I am connected with all the friends, I want with all my strength to help them reach the goal of creation. In everything that I want to accomplish, that I want to reach, I am doing all the actions and intentions so they will be the ones that will achieve.

And for me, I am willing to stay the way I am, just help them in something, in order for them to attain what they want to.

This is, for the meantime, a kind of expression of bestowal from the inner body.

Surely, in the first place, I arrive to that out of hatred, rejection, competition, and all sorts of bad thoughts, as we learn it was this way among those who owned the Zohar, but slowly I get to the point that I work with dedication so the Creator will enjoy the friends.

I'm confident that from them, He will enjoy. Therefore, I work in this area. And I, myself, am ready to give them everything that is important to me, in order for them to be the ones that will reach the goal.

This is, more or less, the first distinction of the inner body. [Part A, 36 min].

A Person cancels himself. Why do you do it? What is your purpose, your goal?

I want to cancel myself in order to integrate within the friend, then what? Self-cancel for what? You have cancellation; everywhere you look a person cancels himself. Why do you do it? What is your purpose, your goal? Just cancel for the sake of cancelling one’s self? You need to do the action until the finish.

Because "think before you act," you have to reach a point from beginning to the end, till it is absolutely clear to you what you're doing.

Now you are working, your intention is to ascend until the end of the road. And if you only see a small section, that is not enough, that means that your intention is not complete and not working right. So how can you do an action without any benefit, without a full and clear knowing of why I am doing it, what do I want to get out of it?

I do not think that you're doing any action, quite the opposite, I'm sure you are not doing any action at all. Because action without a meaning, is like a body without a soul. It's a dead action, it does not give anything. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

An intention should come before the action, an intention must provoke the action, stimulate the action and give it all its tone. How I will do it, for whom do I do it, how I will sort it out, for what purpose and why. First of all, clarify everything and then do the action itself. Otherwise, it is an act of either a baby or a person who is not sane or, excuse me, a crazy person, I do not know, who is acting without Intention?

Unless you act with intention, with a normal intent like in ordinary life, in order for me to feel good, this would be a natural action; we do not need to try and sort it out and check it before everything we do. [Zohar, 18 minutes]

How to implement

What, he would sit at home if he has an opportunity to disseminate?

The general upper mechanism counts all the opportunities that a person has because all the opportunities were given to us from above.

The Creator gives you opportunities in the north, guest houses in the Sea of Galilee, in the Dead sea, at all kinds of beaches and all sorts of places. By all means go there, go to the people that are on holiday, on vacation. Now, Sukkot is coming and it's for a week, so go ahead disseminate vigorously all over, do whatever you can.

There is nothing better than that. It was given to us from above and now checking on us.

"No," they just want to go to Eilat. And if a person has not gone to Eilat yet, he does not want to go to anywhere. Ok, then he is pulled onto the path of "in its time" (Beito). Do you understand it? We must use all the opportunities that are given to us. This is one thing.

Secondly, I emphasize to everyone, as I asked whether or not do I go to Eilat, they replied "no," so I did not go there. First of all, you need to think of how I could be useful. If according to the manager there, I cannot benefit them, then "sit and do nothing," or go elsewhere. Thank God we have a lot of opportunities. [Part D, 41 min]

We will not succeed in our material and spiritual life unless during the workshop, we will implement one hundred percent for the connection between us.

During the day, try to complete what you feel that you have missed. It's very nice that it is missing; it's good that you think so.

Who knows, maybe tomorrow we will not do any workshop, what then? You will be the one that will need to worry about the positive, the disadvantage, to of all of these things. Why should I do that? Only what, we need to be the ones to supplement.

Try it. You'll feel during the day just how much you are missing it. A small amount of intention is good. When you will come tomorrow, you'll have half an hour or an hour, we will see how much, it’s all according to your will.

I felt the need to shorten the workshop, I had not thought it would be for a half hour, and then I saw that it was good and worthwhile. Because we still need to have much more desire for it than what we have now. We should understand that the spiritual and physical life today are both linked together. We will not succeed in them unless during the workshop we will implement one hundred percent the connection between us. [Part D, 50 min]

The Daily Direction 10.1.14 (1)

What do I wish to have? I wish that an opportunity for the Creator to enjoy our action , will be revealed

We need to  reach to a point where we bring contentment to the Creator, like all Baal HaSulam's examples with the host and the guest and so on. The equivalence of form, adhesion, this is what we need to. So "the initial thought is the end result." First I think. Before I do something I need to think what the purpose is and what do I want to achieve. Meaning, what do I want to have? I want the Creator to have an opportunity to enjoy our action. If He knows about me or not, if I will get something in return or not, it doesn't matter.right now , I don't want to think about it at all . All I want is one thing: I want Him to enjoy the action that I am now starting to do. That is called bestowal. If I'm thinking about such an “end,” then I can start doing something. otherwise I don't. First of all, you constantly need to think only about that. This must be the permanent foundation to the entire action, the thoughts, the decisions and the actions. Now I'm going out to hand out some material, I'm performing at some place, teaching, it doesn't matter what I'm doing.

as said ,All the moments of your life should be devoted for that. [Part 1 min 40]

I do not need to pay any attention to the desire itself, only for the benefit of who he is?

We do not need to fix the desires themselves. You can not fix desires, but rather the intentions that are riding on them , we need to fix only them. Because the problem is that the right between desires were torn, and we need to bring back the good connections, This means mutuality, mutual bestow between the desires. But there is no bad will for itself, only the intent.

The parts themselves are not spoiled, only the intentions are spoiled.

Here we have to understand that I do not need to pay any attention to the desire itself, only for the benefit of who he is?

If it is for the benefit of others, then it is called that I restored him back to the proper shape , as fixed and right part, as a component within the system.

[Part I].

The condition

"The Light that Reforms," will reform only under the condition that we keep this whole idea until we reach "bringing contentment to the Creator," from beginning to end, all of this to give Him contentment, otherwise this formula doesn't work anywhere and then we are not receiving "the Light that Reforms."

And as much as we can , we need to arrange this process and our entire intention correctly. [Last part]

** I need to do as many actions as I can in order to Integrate with the others, and be connected to them in such a way that my will to receive , my ego, will not work but only to bestow upon them, in order to create a common will in which the Creator would be revealed and enjoy. [Last Part].

** It's not that I enjoy he is within me, but rather I feel that what is within me is something that enjoys from me. (last part)

Work in the tens

My "Body", "the real holy " ,is it mine? Yes, in what I was included from everyone.

You need to be immersed in them. At that moment you don't exist, you are totally inside of them. And what is next? Where is "I" when the time for me comes to speak? When your time comes it will be after you are included in everyone else, and then out of this integration with everyone else you will speak. That will be the exact you. How?  Because you canceled yourself in all of your friends, and then you are talking out from the integration with them. This is your correct body. You leave the "serpent's skin," and your inner body when you are interconnected with others, this is your soul.

Go ahead and discuss this. Meaning, I hear what the friends are saying. I'm included with what they are saying; I'm included in their desires, their hearts and their thoughts, in everything. I forget about myself, I disappear in them, I get lost in them, I'm included in them. When the time for me comes to speak, then I'm talking after I have been included in them. And that means I acquire my “true sacred body.” What is it, mine? Yes, because I'm included with everyone else. And what did I have back then when I gave it up? This is exactly my stony heart, the serpent's skin, and I depart myself from it. [Part 1 min 48]

From Instinctive Solidarity To Genuine Unity

Question: What do we need to do in order to become a true nation of Israel? It seemed to me that I was seeing examples of mutual support and solidarity all around.

Answer: This is a solidarity that arises intuitively during a common danger, but it is not called mutual guarantee. In difficult times, we all are willing to help each other, flocking together instinctively.

This happens in any society, in any group, and even among animals because it provides psychological support, elevates the spirit, and gives a feeling of greater confidence and connection. However, it has nothing to do with “Love thy neighbor.”

Love for one’s neighbor is such a deep inner bond that it only can be achieved through a special connection between us, attainable through the wisdom of Kabbalah.

We receive an example of such feelings during special discussions in a circle, and inworkshops, but this is not enough. We need to pass the basis of this method to everyone so that each person will understand where this feeling comes from, why it arises, and how to implement it.

Each of us must become a carrier of this method, because in it, lies one’s life and one’s soul. With it, one builds their eternal existence, their independence. This is why it is not enough simply to hear about it for a few minutes. Rather, one must understand what world we are living in and what system operates us. Through this, we can understand the forces of nature, change them, and use them for our own good.

Then, we can show an example to the entire world and call upon it to unite, “Look at the world that is opening before us! We can ascend to an eternal and absolute degree, instead of existing for a few decades on this earth and ending it at that. The gates to a new world are being flung open before us.”

This is what each of us subconsciously is awaiting and what the nations of the world want. However, the Jewish people hold the key, and we are obliged to open it up. It is ready for our use!

I very much hope that the pressure that we are feeling today, from the internal anti-Semitism that exists within us and the external pressure, would be enough to turn the attention of the entire nation to the inner teaching, in other words, to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

There are people with a book of instructions by which this nation must live. Without them, we are attempting to imitate the nations of the world, but it does not work. We need to structure ourselves in accordance with these instructions.

I hope that the suffering we are enduring today will be enough to draw our attention to this topic, because otherwise, problems will increase and continue to grow until they oblige us to become a true nation of Israel and a light for other nations in order to lead the entire world to correction, to the good connection.

Comment: We join you in your good hopes!

The Meteor Is Already Close

Question: If the upper force is good, why is it revealed in an unpleasant way, pressuring us?

Answer: The higher power pressures us from above in that it aspires to be discovered. Whereas, we are found below as separated, crushed, rejecting and hating each other. The pressure of the upper force from above increases our problems, because He wants to be discovered, but is not.

All of the problems pop up because of the approach of the Creator to us. If you are not adapted to Him, then His approach awakens negative reactions in you.

Question: I don’t understand how the approach of the Creator could be perceived as negative. It would seem that this would be the opposite; wouldn’t it be necessary to awaken some kind of positive results?

Answer: Imagine that you are a child. Your mother comes to you and asks: “Have you completed your homework?” And you haven’t prepared your lessons. So your mother threatens: “Watch out, I will come back in another hour to check if you have finished your homework!” As the hour passes you begin to be afraid of when she will come back because you still haven’t done anything.

How will her approach be felt in this case: good or bad? If you don’t comply with her demand, you feel her approach as unpleasant, you don’t want her to come to check you. Isn’t this so?

And now the same thing is happening with us. We are not carrying out those actions that we must carry out. We don’t want to become like one person with one heart, where all ofIsrael are friends, connected with mutual guarantee (Arvut). We are not becoming like those that we must be, and so the approach of the Creator awakens troubles, disasters, and wars within us and around us.

All of these are the result of the nearing of the Creator. The Holocaust was a result of His approach. That is how the approach of the upper force is revealed if we don’t adapt to it.

So we must prevent the blow through a remedy: Begin getting closer to each other, connect so that we approximate ourselves to the approach of the Creator. Then we will accept this approach as better and better, to the state in which the upper force will be completely clothed in us. There is no better state than this!

Question: Is the upper force like a meteor that is approaching our Earth?

Answer: The higher power is not approaching us with the speed of a meteor, which is 30 kilometers per second. This is a gradual process that began a long time ago. But essentially this “meteor” is already close, and its speed is increasing all the time. The inner and outer tension has grown.

After that a period of calm could come. But even if it comes, it will be for a very brief time. Periods of calm will become more and more compressed, whereas the tension will grow exponentially. This is because we are on the threshold of the general correction and the Creator is obliging us to carry out the correction, meaning to connect among us.

We must come to a state of “And you shall love your friend as yourself,” no matter how unrealistic this may seem to us. The higher power is prepared to force us into this through its pressure. But it is desirable to begin to study the wisdom of Kabbalah because from it, we discover how to attain this in ourselves before we are pressured from above with full force. We can reach this connection ourselves in a good way, without coercion.

Where Is Our Sight Concealed?

Question: Sight for us is what we see, so what is spiritual sight?

Answer: You actually don’t see anything. It is the mind that sees, and in the spiritual world it is quite clear.

Question: So why do I need the two openings in the form of eyes and all the reflected light that I receive?

Answer: All our body is merely a kind of glued together “papier-mâché.” We actually don’t feel anything in our hands, our tongue, our nose, our ears, or our eyes but only in our brain and even deeper than that, in our desire.

A person’s body is the scenery, the continuous external display of our internal attributes. It is made especially so that you will see that there is someone before you. Still, everything that you see and feel is only inside you, in your brain, or rather in your desires. Since we work at the level of the material world, it seems that everything depends on external sensors or detectors called senses.

From KabTV’s “Secrets of the Eternal Book” 2/20/14

Humanity On The Threshold Of Divorce

The entire method about which the Torah speaks, from the firstAdam (man) until entering the land of Israel, is the process within a group of Kabbalists who discover the evil within the group while working on the spiritual connection between them.From then on, only good is discovered.

The discovery of evil is all the hatred that separates people and is discovered to the degree that they want to connect. However, now instead of quarreling over various insipid matters, if humanity would want to connect, it would not need to discover the evil. All of their evil is found within the people of Israel. Therefore, the nations of the world cannot correct this evil alone. They do this with the help of the people of Israel and reach correction all at once.

After all, if the true evil of the ego were revealed in them at the moment that they begin to connect, the world would be drowning in evil. They really would be devouring each other down to the bone. So, the work of connection was given only to the people of Israel who are called the “stiff-necked people.”

The people of Israel do the work of connection and transform themselves into a “glue” that can connect all of humanity. They work together with the nations of the world, but their evil inclination is not revealed in this work.

This is an interesting concept. After all, the evil inclination is specifically revealed at the time of connection between people, and we need to work with that. The Torah tells us about this in all the stages of the wilderness. In other words, they are the stages of revealing the ego that is gradually discovered and corrected. It seems as if the children of Israel were wrong, transgressed, and violated the commands of the Creator. However, it is precisely in this way that they corrected themselves and prepared themselves for entry into the land of Israel.

After their entry into the land of Israel, they still needed to conquer it, but this was already a different war, which was the conquest of the nations in the land of Israel: This was the use of the ego through the power of bestowal that they previously acquired. However, in our day, in order to correct the entire human ego, it is necessary to conquer the entire world by means of the power of bestowal. The nations of the world are not obligated to fight with their evil inclination.

The whole Torah talks about the discovery of evil that is revealed through the inclination to connect. This is similar to what a young couple does when they go through all kinds of conflicts when they try to get along in their shared life. They communicate more and more through a shared kitchen, bedroom, living room, house chores, work, a joint bank account, and spare time.

Before then, they would meet somewhere from time to time, and this didn’t obligate them to do anything. Suddenly, they have lots of reasons to connect, and so the evil inclination is revealed in them.

The entire world now feels like a pair of newlyweds. So, it requires a method, the wisdom of connection, which is the wisdom of Kabbalah. This is required everywhere; in our time there is no possibility of connecting in any other way.

Why are people not ready to connect today? Why do so many couples divorce? It is because not only is the ego revealed but also the true evil inclination. This is because humanity must now be connected all over the globe and on all levels. So, everyone will be required to know the wisdom of Kabbalah that teaches how to overcome the evil inclination.

When you want to connect with your child, you must know how to do this, specifically with the help of the wisdom of Kabbalah. You need to learn to attract the Light that Reforms otherwise you won’t have a connection with your children. Today, parents lose connection with their children who reach adolescence around the age of 13, and, in another decade, this connection will already be weakened by the age of seven or eight, and even earlier.

Today, at the age of three or four, children begin to feel completely independent. For them, a parent is simply a tool for attaining a goal, which is the fulfillment of their desires and no more. Problems of this type will appear everywhere. It is impossible to attain connection without the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Everywhere that people try to connect, in the workplace or at home, they will discover their evil inclination. They will want to connect more and will not be ready for it. So, they will divorce. Even the terrorists are divided and are not ready to connect into one gang. There are so many groups and so many factions among them! The separation will keep on growing everywhere. Soon, everyone will sit in his house with a rifle, and that’s it.

The friends in a group of Kabbalists consciously work on the connection between them. Therefore, all of these phenomena become expressed among them in a very clear and obvious form. However, Kabbalists have the tools for working against their ego, against separation, and against hatred. The friends perform the role of the people of Israel, regarding all of the children of Israel, just as all the people of Israel do with respect to all of humanity. So, all of the people of Israel must work like a group of Kabbalists with respect to the whole world.

Mandatory Disclosure of the Wisdom

From “Who Are You, People of Israel”

As the world groans under the pressure of two conflicting forces—the global force of connection and the separating power of the ego, we are falling into the state that existed in ancient Babylon prior to the dispersion. Alas, today we cannot draw apart and sedate our egos. Our only option is to work on our positive force that balances the negative power of our ego.

The people of Israel, descendants of the ancient Babylonians who followed Abraham, must implement the wisdom of connection, namely the wisdom of Kabbalah. They are required to set an example to the whole of humanity, and thus become a “Light for the nations.”

The Key to Happiness

The laws of Nature dictate that we will all achieve a state of unity. However, there are two ways we can come to that happy end: 1) a path of world suffering, wars, catastrophes, plagues, and natural disasters, or 2) a path of gradual balancing of the ego, the path that Abraham planted in his disciples. The latter is the one we suggest.
