Want To Change The World? Change Yourself

Question: How is it possible to use the negative and distracting events in material life for spiritual advancement?

Answer: We need to perceive our world as a single whole. There is nothing outside of the framework of the management from the upper world.

We are learning about the only power of nature, how it manages a person and humanity. Therefore, if problems appear in our lives, we need to attribute them to the same single force of nature. So, we need to understand that if we feel bad, this is only because we are lacking coordination with the demands that nature places before us.

The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us how we must do this, how to position ourselves in relation to nature, how to unite, so that due to our good relations, we can properly direct nature to us..

Therefore, all of the negative influences from the surrounding society, ecology, climatic conditions, political life, economy, and all other events that happen to a person, we can decide for ourselves.

Everything depends only on good relationships between us; through them it is possible to “soften” all the problems, and not in any other way. This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us, and we feel this through human communication.

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, if a person wants to change the world, it is up to him to change himself and his attitude toward others. That is why we have organized ourselves into groups and are learning how to attract the positive force of nature to us so that it will change us.

To the same degree that it will change us toward a positive direction, the world will begin to be changed. This is the mutual relationship between us and the management system.

I Want Only One Thing

I do not work on my sensations and mind, I want only one thing: to be incorporated in others and receive through this inclusion new sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Through the connection with the friend, I am now building a man, Adam, similar to the Creator. I do not care about my current feelings because all of them are at the animalistic level.

From the 3rd part of the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 1/9/19, Writings of Baal HaSulam,“The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah,”

Reviving The Network Of Forces Of The Upper System

Question: Why were we given the sensation of independent existence in this world? It totally confuses us and doesn’t allow us to do something on our own.

Answer: On the contrary, you are given the opportunity to do everything to become like the Creator, to reach His level! It is a tremendous job.

Maybe it seems to you that if you say: “There is none else besides Him,” with that you wash your hands of everything: “You have problems? Contact the celestial administration, but I have nothing to do with it.”

No! You have to change yourself so that you will completely understand, feel, and discover for yourself the upper system and see how it operates absolutely everything through an infinitely thin network. Only by attaining the entire network of forces that govern the feelings, thoughts, and various connections between opposing creatures, will you be able to say that this indeed is the network of connections about which it is said: “there is nothing else but it.”

In the book A Sage’s FruitBaal HaSulam writes: “All the thoughts that arise in a person’s mind are actions of the Creator. That one seemingly attracts them from somewhere, or that they are born within him—it is a deception and the source of all deceptions. Any thought, even the most insignificant one, the Creator sends into the mind of a person, and He is the driving force of man, animal, and everything living.”

We need to clearly feel this and act accordingly. We must directly participate in this network of forces, to live within it, to bring it to live. We turn it on.

February 2019 Convention in Israel

We are looking forward to one of our biggest events of the year – the World Kabbalah Convention in Israel! As every year, everyone is welcome to attend, but please note that there are some changes this year, notably about accommodation.

This truly is one of the most impressive and uplifting spiritual events, so make sure you do not let this opportunity pass you by – and remember – attending a congress such as this one provides the same amount of spiritual information as several years of study in a Kabbalistic group! It could be the best gift you give to yourself, your soul and the world as we know it!

Playing With The Creator By His Rules

Question: Life is a game. Do we play with the Creator too?

Answer: The game with the Creator is in the fact that I agree to do anything He wants in order for Him to advance me in this game. That is why I want to do it His way. I do not control the Light, but I agree to play by His rules.

Question: Why is it called “a game”?

Answer: It is because I do not have the strength to realize anything, and only by expressing my desires can I cause the Creator to act. I pretend, but not really, knowing absolutely clearly that this is what will lead to His actions.

Then, what is the meaning of prayers and requests? I am in one state while I imagine another. This is already a game. I play as if I am already in the next degree, in the desirable state. I want to change into it.

Question: At the current stage of our group’s development, what should we adhere to together?

Answer: To play the right kind of group.
