715Everything that happens to us is initially done by the Creator, but we cannot see this. Baal HaSulam writes that the science of Kabbalah is a method of “the revelation of His [the Creator’s] Godliness Creator to His creatures in this world.”

I am not performing any action here through which I would be able to change the reality, the governance of the Creator, His influence on me. I am not performing any action that would change anything in me or around me; I am merely revealing what is happening.

I gradually discover what is actually happening in the existing reality when people around me, then the Creator together with the environment, later me and the Creator, and ultimately only the Creator become a factor in fulfilling the Torah and the commandments. 

The fact that people from outside facilitate the fulfillment of the Torah and commandments does not mean that they are the influencing factor. In truth, it is the Creator, but in a concealed form, and His desire is to be revealed.

We must pay attention to this, because we deviate from the goal by thinking we are going to change reality. We are going to reveal reality! The difference lies in our perception, in the revelation relative to us, and only that. Here, there is a very fine line, a barely perceptible point. If we grasp it correctly, we acquire the right attitude toward what we are going to do, toward what is going to happen.

I am not going to change the world; I want to change my perception, nothing more! That is all I need required because everything is created perfectly, and only my perception is damaged; that is the only that I need to fix. Then I will be able to feel myself in a bright world full of abundance and goodness, my senses will perceive everything as it truly is!

To attune yourself to the correct approach is 90% of the work. Based on this, it is necessary to understand that the correct direction is that you attune yourself to bestowal.

276.05It therefore follows that we should make several discernments in the Torah: 1) one who learns Torah in order to know the rules, to know how to observe the Mitzvot of the Torah, (Rabash, “What Are Torah and Work in the Way of the Creator?“)

That is, why does one study? In order to know what must be done in the material world. And then a person studies and fulfills the commandments.

 2) one who learns Torah in order to observe the Mitzva of learning Torah, as it is written (Joshua 1), “This book of Torah shall not move from your mouth, and you shall contemplate it day and night.” RASHI interprets “contemplate it” as “looking in it,” every thought in the Torah is in the heart, as he said, “The contemplation of my heart is before You” (Ibid.)

Here it speaks about “studying Torah in order to know the laws, how to observe the commandments of the Torah,” meaning that there is something more in it than just performing commandments. There is value in the study itself when one must attach the heart to it. There are corrections that the Torah performs in the heart. These are corrections to make us better, when the Creator wishes that the Torah will support us, and through it we will be strengthened.

3) He learns Torah in order to be rewarded with the light of the Torah, as it is written, “I have created the evil inclination; (ibid.)

This is the level when a person already knows that the Torah was not given merely to correct his animalistic heart so that he simply becomes better and thereby fulfills the commandment of studying Torah, but that there is something special in the Torah—light.

I have created the Torah as a spice because the light in it reforms him.” By this he will be rewarded with faith, and to adhere to the Creator, and then he will become “Israel” for he believes in the Creator in complete faith (ibid.)

That is, a person already considers himself wicked, and the Torah corrects him so that he will become better.

4) Once he has been rewarded with faith, he is rewarded with the “Torah, as in the names of the Creator” (ibid.)

In other words, he already receives the light of Hochma within the light of Hassadim. This light of Hochma, which he receives according to the level of his correction, is called the names of the Creator.

In The Zohar, this is called “The Torah and Israel and the Creator are one.” At that time he is rewarded with the purpose of creation, which is to do good to His creations, when the creatures receive what the Creator wants to give to the creatures (ibid.)

938.03In the multitude of people is the King’s glory,” it follows that the greater the number of the collective, the more effective is the power of the collective. In other words, they produce a stronger atmosphere of greatness and importance of the Creator. At that time, each person’s body feels that he regards anything that he wishes to do for holiness, meaning to bestow upon the Creator, —as a great fortune (Rabash, “The Agenda of the Assembly – 2”).

Everything depends on how much we in the group express the importance of our goal, the importance of revealing the Creator, and the importance of creating the conditions for His revelation. The main thing is not to forget this and to constantly awaken in ourselves the fact that the Creator is the light that fills everything, and that He is revealed only to the extent of our similarity to Him. If we attain even 1% of similarity, to that extent we will reveal Him. And if there is 2%of similarity, that is how much we will reveal Him.

Therefore, on the one hand, each person must feel that he exists in the ten as one tenth of it. On the other hand, he must feel that he is the Malchut of this ten and is responsible for the desire of the entire ten.
Gradually, we will study all our roles in these ten parts, each of which will shape the common soul, that is, develop additional qualities within it, and then we will begin to feel the Creator more.

How much does an embryo, or even a small child, feel the world? It lacks the senses, the qualities, for this. In the same way, we must gradually acquire the quality of each Sefira, and thus feel the Creator more and more strongly. That is, each of us must position ourselves as each Sefira.

And so, in different combinations, in different configurations, we will assemble ourselves together and “turn” the Creator: in one state, in another, in a third, like a Rubik’s Cube. In this way, we will turn ourselves relative to one another and reveal the Creator in ever greater changes.

It would seem, what is a ten? In fact, it turns out to be an infinite possibility of combinations of all qualities and desires, both of the heart and of the mind.

600.01Question: When a person comes under the impact of the upper light, they appear a bit strange, as if they actually used a drug: dilated pupils, increased activity, a feeling of love toward everyone. What is happening to a person at that moment?

Answer: I do not think that he can have such strongly expressed external symptoms. However, who knows?

In principle, this is all the effect of the upper light. Behind our physiology, there is nothing hidden except light and vessels. Therefore, the influence of the light on the vessel, even in the form of surrounding light, in any case causes all kinds of excitations, similar to excitation from chemical substances.

So, if we measure the reaction from the influence of the light and the reaction from sedatives or stimulating effects of certain medicines, we will see an identical external reaction.

Question: But due to what does this happen? Does the light influence the point in the heart or the physiology of a person? In general is there such a concept as “the light influences physiology”?

Answer: Of course! What does “influences” mean? Increased pulse, of course! Inner excitement, of course! Increased blood pressure, of course! That is, this is a natural consequence of excitation, no matter what caused it.

A medicine is the same light, only in our understanding it appears in some material form, in some chemical elements. So what? This is also the influence of the light, only clothed in such a carrier.

Suppose I am drinking coffee. Do you think that the matter is in the coffee, in this brown liquid that I am now drinking? No. This is connected with some small influence of micro-light that affects me this way. That is all!

In fact, matter does not exist. If you erased this image now, you would see a more inner screen on which one force, one desire, uses a second force, a second desire, and so on.

You would see nothing but endless vectors and how they change under the influence of one another. The vector called “coffee” changes all the sums of vectors that are in me at some definite level called “the body.”
