Advice from the daily lesson 1.12.2011

Part 1: Rabash Writings, Article “What Is That It Is Written, And You Returned Your Heart”

 

We learn that there is nothing new in the creation of the world – “I have not Changed HaVaYaH” – that from the start, everything has been done and completed, and nothing is lacking. Therefore everything with us is “from thy actions we know You”, “All who reject do so in their deformity”, meaning we always reveal the Creator from our own attributes.
 

In order to give the creature the feeling of who and what he is, where he exists, who birthed and created him, and other distinctions in the stature of the creature, until all the good and benevolent of the Creator is revealed, the creature goes through changes. And all these changes stem from “The end of an action begins with the thought”, that in the preceding thought the Creator wants the creature to be like him, in the best state.
 

Of course on behalf of the Creator everything is complete mercy, but towards the creature, inside the creature, all these degrees need to develop, the forces, acknowledgments one after another. And the creature must go through these different and opposed states in order to get to know the Creator and himself, and to add to the understanding, knowing, revelation, and feelings, of his whole “I”, that will participate in the process in a whole form.
 

The whole state includes within two distinctions: 1. Independent me, equal to the Creator, in height, force, ability, everything, 2. Me similar to the Creator in everything. Then it is called that I am independent and whole. And in every degree I go through, I must enlarge one against the other so they will hold each other and not cancel each other out – something and its opposite.
 

In order to enable us to advance to the whole state, other than “Him” and “me”, a third element needs to be placed. This third factor is the meeting place, the revelation, where I reveal my independent self and the Creator opposite me. There must be a place where we can be as opposite partners who connect equally. This area is called the sum of souls, the Holy Shechina, Malchut.
 

Therefore, in the preparation for the attainment of the purpose of creation the break was made in the creature, which was broken into many separate parts. And these separate parts basically present to the creature the degree of his independence, his distancing, and his disconnection. But on the other hand we must give everyone the opportunity and help to arrive at equivalence of form with the Creator.
 

If one does not think of these 3 ingredients: him, and the Creator which connect together through the group, then he doesn’t visualize correctly the actualization of the purpose of creation which has been prepared for him.
 

You need not worry about the current state, for it is determined by thousands of factors outside of you. Also, there is no use in thinking and determining about the future state, for it is determined by the system that will take a step forward. You only need to think of how do I take this step forward, what in it depends on me, what action in this step depends on me.
 

“The Wiseman Faith” is necessary from the small one in order to grow. That you take in faith only the action that the big one suggests you do, and from this small, short action, you see he is right. This means you don’t have blind faith in him, rather that you annul yourself towards him each time in order to acquire his head, and each time, in this small part, you see that he was right.
 

 

 

Part 2: Zohar for the People, The Preface To The Book Of Zohar, 85, Article “The Donkey Leader”, lesson 4

 

The Zoharis revealed only in the place of the revelation of the Creator, and the Creator is the force that connects between the souls. Therefore, while reading the Zohar we need to yearn for connection, and then we discover the deficiency for revealing the Creator.
 

The Zoharonly speaks of what is happening between us, and not inside each of us.
 

A commentary of a Holy Scripture is a connector, something that lowers it for me, either in style, or height, or together in many distinctions.
 

The commentator must be in both degrees: the degree from which he receives the source, and in the lower degree, where he wants to lead the source. Therefore, till this day there is no alternative to the Sulam Commentary on the Zohar. Because Baal HaSulam on one hand attained the degree of the ARI and through that the degree of The Zohar masters, and on the other hand he lowered it to us in a form with which he interpreted the matters. Therefore we don’t need to do more than try to actualize it on us.
 

The Wisdom of Kabbalah is never revealed in the soul, rather it is revealed in the connection between the souls, in bestowal from me outwards. If there is a change in this direction, it is called a result from the influence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah. There is nothing for me to pay attention to other than what I am attracted to outwards towards others, towards the Creator. We need to see changes only in this and not in any other place.
 

The whole society needs to feel how much The Zohar gives it Light, life, advancement, and warmth. Therefore whoever feels thankful for being given the opportunity to read The Zohar together and place our hope for the future around it – needs to thank Baal HaSulam, all The Zohar creators, and to the society in which we want to see it actualize in. So it is worthy to talk about it, to occasionally have a meal, something where we will feel that we are advancing thanks to The Zohar.
 

Part 3: TES, Part 3, Section 8, 59, Inner Light, lesson 32

The break is not a break, it is revelation – everything is opened in true form.
 

The wisdom of the final correction was in the world of Nikkudim – all the Light that the creature needs to reveal if he will be in the height of the Creator, and specifically this Light broke the vessels.
 

If we didn’t arrive at the break, the desires of the final correction would have never been revealed; therefore, the break is a necessary thing that reveals all the Light against all the vessels.
 

The problem is not that we are limited, because by revealing the borders, we reveal where we meet with the Creator. And out of attaining the borders we reveal the form of the Creator in our feelings.
 

The world of Nikkudim broke in order to reveal to the creature who he is in comparison to the Creator, because all that was revealed before the break was not real. Therefore only after the break can we speak of a creature.
 

Everything we learn about here is in our roots; from the beginning of creation to the final correction we exist in a constant reality, and the changes are only in us, in our reception.
 

Part 4: Baal HaSulam Writings, Article, “The Attribute Of The Hidden Wisdom of Kabbalah In its Entirety”, lesson 1

 

There are many books that humanity has created, and none of them arrive at the truth, for a person is incapable of doing so. If we don’t rise from the reality in which we are in, we won’t be able to do anything with it. Therefore we need the practical Wisdom of Kabbalah, meaning to do corrections on ourselves, to rise above our height, to begin to know our vessel and how it is operated, and this way we will arrive at the familiarity with the borders in which we exist.
 

The Wisdom of Kabbalah brings you to a state in which you know where you are.
 

The Wisdom of Kabbalah gives us control of our vessels, and the ability and the means to be in analysis towards the “I”.
 

“There is no wiser than the experienced” – if your wisdom comes from experience, you are wise, and if it is from outside of experience, you are a fool, because you rely on something unrealistic.
 

We need to be aware, not to the amount of knowledge one has, but to the way in which he processes it.
 

One begins to feel that he is in partial perception, from the ascents and descents that are revealed during the preparatory period.
 

The tendency for loving others is called my soul.
 

When we speak of actions between one and his friend, we want these actions to appear in this tangible world, in the whole human society, and that such relationships will be revealed here which we can call “Olam Ein Sof”. This is what we want to get to – that here on earth, between the beasts; there will be such relationships that will be called the “infinite soul”. When we reach this, we will arrive at another world.
 

In the world today we need to begin to plan everything and recognize that we – I, all of humanity, all of nature at the degrees of inanimate, plant, animal and human, and the Creator – exist in one system called the “System of Ein Sof”, and the more we can suit ourselves to it we will benefit, and the more we don’t want to or can’t suit ourselves to it, to the degree in which we were suppose to already be, we will lose, that’s it.
 

In order to get to the high goal, we need to actualize it simply here between the friends. You have no other goal. Otherwise you are dealing with abstract forms of the matter. If you don’t adhere to the goal to the relationship between us, then you are dealing with the abstract form of the matter. The matter is us, and the form is the form of love that needs to settle here between us.
 

If we were to cancel all that divides people – religions, beliefs, nationalities – especially internal and not external, so that we will all be together as one man in one heart – it will help us prevent the disasters that threaten to destroy our world.
