The advent of the “Point in the Heart” within us

heralds the beginning of a very special adventure,

a journey to a wonderful land.

Succeed Beyond Your Dreams

Imagine for a moment that when you wake up in the morning, you suddenly know the most important law of reality—the law that defines everything.

You understand what you should or should not do to avoid all pain, unpleasantness, and suffering; everything is clear to you, and you awaken to life like a child—full of enthusiasm and without fears or inhibitions. This is precisely how we should live.

And actually, why not? Why do we sometimes fail? Why do we bump into walls, suffer blows, and face problems? Why do we need to be in darkness?

If we discover this most important law, we will have no problems; we’ll know exactly how to conduct our lives and how to succeed beyond our wildest dreams.

The Upper Law

The wisdom of Kabbalah is a science that reveals the superior guidance behind the whole of creation.

The whole of reality is guided by one inclusive law, called “the law of nature” or “the law of the Creator.” This is the law of all-encompassing love, harmony, and benevolence. Kabbalah gives us the opportunity to discover this law, and to lead our lives accordingly.

As it is essential to know the basic laws of physics, chemistry, and biology in order to lead a normal life, it is essential to know the wisdom of Kabbalah. Realizing the inclusive law of creation and living by it will spare us suffering, wars, and natural disasters, bringing us to a state of balance and harmony.

The general law of nature - the Creator - love and giving

“Man is enslaved in all his motions,

shackled in iron chains

by the views and manners of others,

who are society”

That is what the great Kabbalist, Rav Yehuda Ashlag,
known as Baal HaSulam, explains in his essay, “The Freedom”

This Marathon Has Run Its Course

We may think we have everything, but everything no longer satisfies us.

We are still playing the game and chasing transient goals, which we envision as pleasures such as money, honors, and power. After all, what else is there to do in this life?

We look at each other and thoughtlessly follow the current trend. We say to ourselves, “If I behave like everyone else, I’ll feel good.” Then, we choose a certain vague, agreeable goal and chase it, hoping to escape the emptiness.

We must be constantly preoccupied or the eternal questions will haunt us: “What am I living for? What’s happening with my life?”

But sooner or later, the point in our hearts will awaken and we will not be able to focus on mundane issues.

Suddenly, we will understand that this chase was prearranged in order to distract our minds from what is most important.

As long as we closed our eyes to avoid truly seeing, we could run along with the crowd.

But we have exhausted our strength. While everyone else is still racing, we have dropped out. It is simply not appealing anymore; in fact, we find it pointless.

Our will has deepened so much, it no longer allows us to settle for mundane goals. This is when we begin the quest for a higher goal.

“The Light of Klipot” (Shells)

is when it seems to us

that if we had a million dollars

we would be happy
 

The Thread to Love

Once, or several times in life,
In each of us,
a point in the heart awakens.
At times it feels like
you are empty,
at times you feel
unhappy for no apparent reason.
At other times it is
for seemingly mundane,
worldly reasons, even familial.
You think, “It’ll pass;
the storm will calm
and all will be well again.”
You may not realize it,
But this is how the
point in the heart is
awakened in you.
It is the beginning of the soul,
the first step toward
revealing love.

A Package for You

When a certain thought about the meaning of life awakens in us, it is a sign that the Creator has invited us to contact Him, to touch base.

It is as if a courier were knocking on our door saying, “A package for you!”—This is how the invitation arrives.

We must open the door, accept the package, open it, and from its content recognize its sender and how we should respond to it.

We hear the knocking on the door but we wait, sitting on the couch, too idle to get up. We yell to the courier, “Leave it by the door; I’ll pick it up later.”

This attitude causes the awakening to dissipate, and who knows when will be the next time that we feel a knock on the door of our heart?

When we receive an invitation, we should promptly realize it and go all out to discover what is in the package, find the Sender’s address, and knock on His door.

Revealing the Creator - Revealing the Spiritual World Within Us

Here and Now

You cannot take a train ride to the spiritual world;

you cannot fly there, either, because it is within us.

We need only evoke the spiritual sensation within us,

sharpen our senses,

and open wide our perception

to what is happening right here.

Then we will find ourselves in a never-ending, wonderful adventure

that will leave us agape with awe.

And from then on, it will never stop growing.

The Button

Currently, we are seeing the picture of this world as if we are all watching the same TV channel.

We have become so accustomed to it that we can’t even imagine that there is another channel.

One day, it gets a little boring. The point in the heart has awakened in us, and a desire to change the channel rises from within. Previously, we didn’t even imagine this was possible.

Gradually, we begin to realize that we can change the channel, but only if we truly want to. Our desire is the button that can change the channel.

As soon as we are ready, the other channel will turn on automatically. It isn’t that the first channel will disappear, but that the second one will be added; we will view the first channel, and be aware of the second in the background.

Thus, the two worlds will merge within us into a single, all-inclusive harmony.
