Why Is The Creator Concealed From Man?
Questions about the post “Kabbalists On The Purpose Of Creation, Part 5”

Question: What is the purpose of creation?

Answer: To enjoy just like the Creator!

Question: Is this a true statement: “If all Jews observed the 613 Mitzvot, then anti-Semitism would disappear”?

Answer: Yes. However, it doesn’t refer to earthly actions, but rather to correcting the 613 desires which make up the soul. If the Jews corrected their souls, the Light would pass onto all the souls of the world (see “Introduction to The Book of Zohar,” Items 70-71). This is because their souls have already been in the property of bestowal and lost it. Therefore, they have to be the first to return to it in order to be the conduit between the Creator and the souls of the world.

The reason for anti-Semitism is the fact that the Jews ignore their mission. In this way the Creator hastens them towards their highest mission. At the same time, the nations of the world feel this mission subconsciously and, as a result, feel hatred.

A question I received: What can we learn from the fact that President Obama awarded Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and an anti-Israel activist, with the Medal of Freedom, the highest and most prestigious civilian award in the U.S?

Robinson presided over the 2001 United Nations’ “World Conference against Racism” meeting in Durban, South Africa. The United States boycotted the meeting and the Israeli delegation walked out after it degenerated into a racist attack on Jews and Israel.

My Answer: This means that Obama is damaging the interests of his country, since the manifestation of anti-Semitism damages the interests of anti-Semitists.  I suppose that he will have to change his course or he will need to be changed.

In the News (translated from Kursor.co.il): The Israeli ambassador to the Ukraine said that as a result of the most dire economic and political crisis in the Ukraine, the Jews could be declared as perpetrators of the grave situation in that country.

My Comment: Actually, The Book of Zohar talks about the same thing – see “Introduction to The Book of Zohar”, Items 60-71.

In the News (from The Local: Sweden’s News In English): When Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet published an article accusing Israeli soldiers of plundering the organs of Palestinian teenagers on the West Bank, it caused a storm in Israel, where many sniffed Swedish anti-Semitism. The Israeli insistence that Swedish ministers condemn the article has caused relations between the two countries to sink to a new low.

My Comment: With the crisis, Anti-Semitism will only keep growing. People will genuinely believe that the Jews are to blame for all their earthy troubles.

However, the true cause of the crisis and all the world’s problems is man’s egoistic nature, which can only be corrected using Kabbalah. But the fact that this science has not been revealed to the world by the Jews yet, is their fault!

In the News (from Japan Today): “Jewish human rights group protests ‘anti-Semitic’ ad in Nihon Keizai Shimbun” In a press release also posted on its website, the Wiesenthal Center’s associate dean Abraham Cooper blasted the Nihon Keizai Shimbun for having “broken a longstanding commitment to desist from running advertisements that promote anti-Jewish stereotypes, by running an advertisement for two books that promote the canard of Jewish control over the global economy.”

The advertisement for “Why did the Jewish financial system collapse?” (author: Kotaro Nada) asks rhetorically, “Is it true that the Rothschild family controls the global economy?” and purports to explain what was behind the failures of Lehman Brothers, AIG, Citibank and Bear Stearns. The ad also touts a second work by Nada titled “Jewish Money: Why are they able to continue to move the global economy?” The Nihon Keizai Shimbun boasts a claimed daily circulation of over 3 million copies. It is often compared to The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times.

My Answer: Of course the Jews are to blame for it all, because they don’t disseminate the method of the world’s correction to the world. This is how they cause all the miseries in the world, and not only the global financial crisis. See Items 70-71 of Baal HaSulam’s “Preface to the Book of Zohar.”

Even though the nations of the world don’t know this, they subconsciously feel that “it’s all the Jews’ fault.” After all, the “light” in their lives depends on the nation of Israel, which holds the wisdom of Kabbalah. Moreover, from now on, if the nations of the world won’t receive the method of correction in time, they will “join together against Jerusalem,” as stated in The Book of Zohar and in the books of the prophets.

A question I received: I came across your answer about “the Jewish conspiracy.” You confirmed that some kind of conspiracy does exist, but you mentioned that it is positive in nature: that everyone knows the Jews are the chosen people, and they will help all the nations unite and establish a “new order.” My question is: what are the means or methods that will be used to establish this new order? Please answer my question or I will assume that you have no answer or you are concealing it.

My Answer: I am answering your question as quickly as I can, to make sure I don’t lose you as a student or disappoint you by my ignorance. The Jews have a great secret, which holds answers about the future of the world. It concerns all the people in the world, which is why everyone subconsciously hates the Jews. Everyone hates the Jews because on some level, they feel their dependence on them.

However, the Jews themselves also don’t know about their secret! The only people who know it are the Kabbalists. They have known it for centuries, but they concealed it because no one had a desire to follow the way to the future. The reason for this is that people’s egoism was not fully developed yet.

Now, however, the time has come when we have all the conditions for revealing the secret to everyone. The signs of this are the global suffering, depression, the collapse of the old order and the revelation of the global interdependency. However, even today there are still not very many people with a desire to engage in this secret.

From now onward, everything is up to you. If you desire to reveal the secret, you will attain an expanded perception of everything that exists around you, and that you don’t perceive right now. The revelation happens in a similar way that one does scientific research – whatever is unknown (a secret) today turns into a revelation (knowledge) tomorrow.

In the News (from Boston Review): In order to assess explicit prejudice toward Jews, we directly asked respondents “How much to blame were the Jews for the financial crisis?” Among non-Jewish respondents, a strikingly high 24.6 percent of Americans blamed “the Jews” a moderate amount or more, and 38.4 per cent attributed at least some level of blame to the group.

My Comment: They are right, but on the other hand, see Items 70-71 of the “Introduction to the Book of Zohar.”

A question I received: The people of Israel suffer from Anti-Semitism. If they will begin to observe the law of “love your neighbor as yourself” and change the system of relationships in the country, will other nations stop hating Israel? How are these things connected?

My Answer: We, Bnei Baruch, have many friends all over the world, and this global community shows what happens to people who have learned about what Kabbalah has to give to the world.  These people have become close to us and we can all feel that there is love and unity among us.

If a person sees that you have precious knowledge about the soul, about the future, about the world’s destiny and the connection between everyone, and if he can feel that these things are correct, then he unites with you. And then you won’t sense any difference between you.

This is what we see in practice: there is no distance or any differences between us in Israel and any of our friends around the world. They are part of our group and are guided by the “point in the heart.” There is no difference between us in our perception, our actions, or our attitude toward the Creator. Moreover, when you come close to someone from afar, then that person becomes even dearer to you.

In the News (from The Guardian): “Holocaust memorial in France defaced with swastikas” Large, black swastikas were painted on to the memorial at Drancy, the site of the second world war deportation camp from where tens of thousands of Jews were sent to their deaths. The vandalism, in the middle of the Passover celebrations, sparked anger and unease among France’s Jewish population, the largest in Western Europe. Situated on the northeastern outskirts of Paris, the internment camp was the site to which French Jews were taken on route to concentration camps in Eastern Europe.

In the News (from JTA): “Survey: ‘Sharp rise in anti-Semitism in 2009‘” A new survey shows that anti-Semitism rose sharply in early 2009 after a decrease in 2008. The survey, conducted by the Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and Racism at Tel Aviv University in cooperation with the European Jewish Congress, was released Monday on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day and at the start of the Durban II anti-racism conference.

The survey’s authors estimate that there were close to 1,000 manifestations of all types of anti-Semitism throughout the world in January. The economic crisis that began in the summer also triggered anti-Jewish reactions, most notably in Eastern Europe and the Arab world.

My Comment: Kabbalah explains that this is caused by people’s growing egoism, which unconsciously demands to be corrected. The nations of the world have the right to demand from the nation of Israel that which it possesses and does not share – the method of correction, Kabbalah. Let them take it! See Items 66-71 of the “Introduction to the Book of Zohar.”

A question I received: The wife of one of my friends is Jewish and she forwarded me this email from a friend:

“I sent you The Third Jihad. Now I’m sending you this, photos of a Muslim march in San Francisco. When did this kind of hate speech stop being against the law?”

So, I sent her the link to Kab TV to see that there were more than 6,000 souls meeting for peace and unity in Israel. I said I think there is still hope for the world.

Her fearful and arrogant reply this morning caught me by surprise: “It is incredibly naive to think that these 6,000 misguided souls, who by the way, are mostly what I’d refer to as self-loathing Jews, out of the billions of people in the world who are anti-Zionist, anti-Israeli and/or anti-Semitic can offer any relief to the enormous battle facing the Jews and the infidels in the future.”

I believe it is part of my responsibility to help anchor the Light in the midst of the unrest. Can you help me to reconcile this negative reaction from both a Christian and a Jew?

My Answer: There is no means of correction besides dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah to everyone. If it were not for anti-Semitism, the Jews would have forgotten all about their predestination long ago! Everything that exists in the world, especially the negative things, is necessary until we correct ourselves. Then these things will disappear.

A person moves forward only when he feels a need to leave his present condition behind, because he feels bad in it. However, Kabbalah gives us an opportunity to see the goal ahead of us. In this case, a person advances toward the goal; he aspires to it with love, moving forward, instead of being pushed from behind by suffering.
