221.0If I currently feel an attraction in a certain direction, my challenge is to ensure that in doing so, I do not lose the awareness that the evil inclination (a special force, a messenger) is working on me; it is a force that actually wants to direct me toward the Creator. Am I in sufficient connection with the Creator or, let us say, with the group, so that my friends can help me not to stray from the correct direction? The rest is internal clarification of a person.

The main thing is, if possible, not to allow yourself to disconnect from the connection with the Creator in each specific state. In this way, we, together with the evil inclination, are already performing work in the right direction. It pulls you in all possible directions, and against this background you remain connected with the Creator.

Question: By “connection,” is calculation implied?

Answer: There is a connection even when we are unable to make a calculation. It is enough to remain in connection. That is enough for now.

And the group should provide you with a sufficient awareness of the importance of constantly remaining connected with the Creator so that this sense of importance along with the fear of becoming disconnected truly gives you the strength to remain connected, in thought and adhesion despite all the disturbances, as you hold fast to the principle “there is none else besides Him.” These are not simple matters; they take years for a person to go through them.

427.01Question: Why does a Kabbalist, who sees reality from the Creator’s perspective and justifies Him, hold such a firm view that we must defend ourselves against enemies, both internally and externally?

Answer: You are essentially asking: “If you are a Kabbalist and are on the other side of the Machsom, then you see how everyone relates to each other with love, and that the enemy does not kill me. On the contrary, he is ready to kill himself in order to relate to me correctly. But if such an enemy actually comes to you now, what will you do?”

In which reality do you exist? Is it the one you perceive in the spiritual realm or the reality of the physical body? Can you combine the spiritual world with the material one or not? You cannot. In the material world, you must behave according to material laws, the laws of bodies; and in the spiritual world, according to spiritual laws.

This confusion will still continue. The world has not yet reached the state of final correction, and therefore there is a difference between the behavior of the body and spiritual behavior. That is why Kabbalists, despite already being on high spiritual levels, still fall ill and sometimes die terrible deaths. In this world, they also suffer greatly from attacks and slander against them. One is not connected to the other, because the world itself has not reached final correction.

When the whole world, that is, the collective awareness of all humanity, crosses over to the other side of the picture, aligns with the Creator, and merges with Him… What does it mean to merge? It means that from your own viewpoint, you move to His viewpoint. And this means that you have drawn closer to Him, merged with Him. You have corrected your attitude toward reality, and now you are like Him.

If everyone does this, then the two sides of a single embroidery (the front and the back) will merge. They will become as one with respect to all the souls of Adam HaRishon, with respect to our shared perception of reality.

And then all of us will have a common view with the Creator; we will be together with Him, in other words, in the state of final correction. Then there will be no difference between the spiritual and the material, neither in bodies nor in souls.

940On the spiritual path, we need both ascents and descents. We must go through all these states, and preferably as quickly as possible. The speed we pass through them depends on our efforts, on how much we invest into work and study.

The group has a huge reserve of strength, and anyone who really wants to join it and earn the right to use its strength should try to connect with it as soon as possible through their work, studies, and the right intention. Then the realization of the greatness of the Creator, the exodus from Egypt, the importance of entering spirituality—the entire spiritual mindset he group possesses will pass onto him, and he, too, will earn the right to come out with everyone else.

For although Moses comes to Pharaoh and battles him, it is Moses alone who is connected to the Creator. A single point in the heart connects a person to the Creator, while the rest of the people do not understand what is happening at all because everything is done in the dark and in a hurry. Moses tells them, “Go and take the Kelim from the Egyptians, we will escape from here at midnight.”

The people simply listen and obey him, and by doing so, they merit being freed from bondage and getting out of Egypt. Therefore, we must understand that we do not need our entire physical being, down to the very bones, to strive to reach such a state; this is not yet Gmar Tikkun, but only the very beginning of the path.

Only one point in me speaks to the Creator during the exodus from Egypt, and all my other points, like the “people of Israel” in relation to Moses, only obey it.

Similarly, a person who is part of a group should annul to it so it can pull him out, and help him move along with it from the current state to a more elevated one.

939.02Question: What does it mean to combine your minds into one integral mind?

Answer: If we have one goal, then our brains will work to achieve it and connect.

Question: But even today, people are connecting for a common goal, a common business, why don’t they have a common integral mind?

Answer: Because this association is based on their selfishness. If we build our union on the abolition of our egoism, then we begin to feel a common desire arise between us. There is no difference between the desire of one and the desire of the other, as if the genes from both parents are combined in one child.

That is, a common goal is not enough, it is important what it is: to rise above the egoistic nature of everyone and create something truly common, which is possible only with the help of a higher power, which is one for all.

If we both want to unleash the power that created and animates all of reality, then this goal binds us, and we begin to live in a common desire and common mind. We connect to such an extent that it is impossible to distinguish where one is and where the other is; we turn into a third something that is completely new. This is called the “middle line.”

Question: I understand the example of a child with the genes of both parents, but where is the mind we share, in whose head?

Answer: This is no longer possible to imagine in our usual, deterministic concepts. When we unite, we become involved in a higher power, in our root, in the Creator. Our common mind will be in the Creator, who is the common force of bestowal, the source of life. Our mind joins one higher mind in what is known as fusion. We cannot connect with each other directly, only through the Creator.

Question: Who is the Creator?

Answer: The Creator is the desire to bestow and to love; it is the source of all life. Our selfish desires are consequences. Therefore, one can rise above one’s egoism only by joining the Creator, “for our heart will rejoice in Him.”

Question: And where will a person who does not believe in a higher power come to in the process of evolution?

Answer: It will be the same with him as with all the others. It doesn’t matter if he believes or doesn’t believe, he is still under the control of a higher power. A person does not have any freedom of choice and free actions except to accelerate his proper development a little, that is, to strive for unification and adhesion himself. He can learn this from the science of Kabbalah and realize it.

He does not need to believe in a higher power; there is no blind faith here. He only needs to know how to move toward the goal, which he will be obliged to achieve in any case. But he has the opportunity to accelerate its achievement, which will be for his benefit.
