We live in a network of spiritual connection that is called “the upper world.” A person is nourished by this network so he must learn how to behave in it correctly. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches people how to connect with and love one another in small groups and live within the eternal world. The laws of the spiritual network are opposed to our egoistic nature. Discovery of this network balances a person in his life and helps him attain the highest goal of existence and the source of the soul.

In nature there is a special network that connects us, a kind of emotional thread that goes from heart to heart. The spiritual communication network is managed by the power of love and connection. It follows the rules of love. These rules are aimed at bringing the inanimate, vegetative, and living to mutual completion in the best possible way. Everyone has a special place in the network and a role of his or her own. When you discover the spiritual network of communication between the hearts, you become included in the good power that fills it. When each one is connected to others in bestowal and love, we all attain eternal and complete life. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to discover the network of spiritual connection by working on connection in a group. In the connection, man enjoys the power that fills the system and experiences wholeness and eternity.

The root of all disease is bad thoughts either about the person himself or about the person’s environment. Imbalance at the level of thought disrupts balance at the corporeal level through the nervous system. New disease appears as the human ego becomes stronger. Cancer, for example, is an endless, excessive desire to receive that causes a cancerous cell to devour surrounding cells. If a person would only want to give to others, think good thoughts about others, and bring about a positive connection between everyone, nothing bad would penetrate that person and the situation throughout the entire network would improve. Healing is also achieved through thoughts. When the principle “and you shall love your friend as yourself” permeates the world, all of us will be healthy, whole, and happy, even in the face of death.

The source of all illness is the separation between us. We are linked to a powerful, eternal system with no way out. This social and emotional communication system affects the state of our bodies. In fact, the body is only a shadow of the common soul. If we heal our relationships, everything will heal and no one would get sick in the first place. We are nourished by spirit and a good, social environment. A universal cure for all sickness is readily available if we build a true, loving connection between us that will reveal the general, healing force of nature.

Hatred and love develop on top of each other like two lines from which a middle line is built. When we build the middle line, our inner software is changed. It becomes smarter and makes it possible for us to love something that we previously didn’t like. On the psychological level, concessions lead to habit and later to love. In the evolutionary process, the ego grows and our demands change in quality and quantity. The desire to receive pleasure is a kind of animal or monster insofar as it loves everything that provides it with pleasure and hates what doesn’t. Between hatred and love we begin to feel the original power of nature that created everything through these two egoistic forces. In the wisdom of Kabbalah corrections are made on another level; the person corrects the ego with the help of the upper Light. “Love covers all transgressions” (Proverbs 10:12) means that love doesn’t replace hatred but rises above it, in parallel to it. Our egoism is constantly growing, increasing in hatred so that above it we can build a greater love. The power of love can be obtained on condition that you want to crown it upon all of reality.

The human experience of love and hate are determined through a part of the brain called the pleasure center. This small part works in the interest of the ego or the desire to receive and differentiates between pleasure or love and suffering or hatred. It is said that the feeling of hatred pushes us to communicate with the upper force and understand what He wants from us. Hatred is awakened in us so that we will eventually learn to look within and correct ourselves. We can change our negative, egoistic attitudes in such a way that we will see a good world full of love. Instead of being dominated by egoism, we can manage it by changing ourselves. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how to correct ourselves in relation to the world. When we attribute everything to the upper force, we begin to understand that no one is hating or loving us. Instead, when we want to reach bestowal by giving to the world and the upper force, we realize that the whole system is taking care of us.

Hatred comes from the interconnected network between us in order to elevate us to a higher relationship with one another. If I don’t know how to manage the feelings that arise from the network, I become a source of evil toward everyone and outbreaks of hatred will result. Kabbalah teaches people how to react properly to feelings and give a calm example to others. It is a method of attracting a positive force into the network, against the negative force, with a layer of insulation in the middle. Kabbalists study in groups of ten and learn to make concessions for one another in order to discover the positive, upper force. Kabbalah leads us through the network so we can find out what we are living for and know the system that influences us.

Human nature is the egoistic desire to enjoy. We love what pleases us and hate what distresses us. The ego grows daily and we are completely occupied by our experiences of love and hate or pleasure and pain. When the sources we thought would bring us pleasure end up becoming sources of suffering, we learn to hate them. If a person becomes a source of agony for me, I can no longer enjoy life as long as he exists. Inflicting a person’s “I” drives him crazy. All of life is simply a calculation regarding how much we are willing to suffer in order to earn something. Human imagination and knowledge expand the boundaries of hate and love whereas other creatures have only instincts. Only mankind enjoys the fact that others suffer. We have to learn to work correctly with hate and love so that we can rise above them in the middle line.

Spiritual charisma is demonstrated when I make myself a zero in order to benefit others and the Creator. The greater a person is, the more he wants to nullify his egoistic charisma and serve others. The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches a person how to use the power of the ego as the left line and build the spiritual self above it. A truly charismatic person evokes feelings of fullness, transcendence, pride, importance, and confidence in others. This type of person can be found anywhere, in any situation, without limit. In the future society, each person will realize himself for the good of others, giving the Creator a place to be revealed.

We cannot become fully human without social connection. Interaction with society gives us an additional power to develop and can turn us into living spiritual beings. This is because the person in front of you is like a mirror in which you can measure yourself and your latent spiritual potential. Correct internal communication with another opens up spiritual senses in a person and reveals higher worlds. By adhering to the principle: “and you shall love your friend as yourself,” you learn to love others as they are. By transferring the command center to another person, feeling his desires, and trying to fulfill those desires as my own, I begin to feel the Creator Himself.

Paradoxes are resolved through awareness of the Creator. They come to me from one integrated source and I want to return them to this higher root. By working on myself to constantly be in bestowal and love, I discover the complementarity between opposites. The connection between good and evil is done only through transcendence to a third line, which unites the opposites. In spiritual development, we don’t destroy evil, or the ego. Instead, we transcend it because evil advances us. Human egoism is a destructive force, but if we construct a more advanced system of thought in which bestowal is more important than reception, it becomes a stimulus for spiritual development. The Torah encourages paradoxical thinking in order to elevate a person to a spiritual level. We can learn to love without eliminating hatred by rising above it.

There is nothing bad in the world. Everything that happens can be used for the positive advancement and development of humankind. When something happens that is not exactly what I want, it awakens resistance in me because it undermines my ego. In the wisdom of Kabbalah, a person encounters all kinds of resistance and this promotes his spiritual ascent. In order to correct ourselves, we must see others as emissaries of the upper force and learn how to absorb contrary opinions. We must see everyone as puppets of the Creator and behave as though we are relating to Him in every scene.

It is imperative to educate children for group work because the evolutionary process is pushing us toward connection. We have the ability to design a new type of person who will have a higher perspective in life and literally feel the group. Children can learn how to solve every problem in a circle. Groups of ten children in each circle can talk about why a lack of unity is bad and why unity is good. They can learn to get along in their families and in society through the principle “Love cover all transgressions.” Every subject that is learned must be rewritten so that it will illuminate the oneness of nature.
