45
When we think negatively we bring it, for whatever we place our thoughts in, we place ourselves.
46
When praying in a place where people are chatting – if it is happy, one can happily elevate, but if it is sad, it is very hard.
47
This mainly applies to Tzaddikim:
One should concentrate (it seems during prayer) on the words one is saying, see the light that emanates from them; in the combination of words is combinations of light; this light coming from the world of Atzilus is rooms (like dimensions) of God, and then one must remove one’s soul from one’s body and attach oneself to the light.
48
Nothing can transform automatically – for example from an egg to a chick – for it first must go through a metamorphous – similarly for a miracle to occur, first nature must rise to the level of Ayin (the primordial source, like the stem cell that can create anything – this is a profound message, for to the extent we think we can make things happen, hence we are within the realm of reality, is the extent that we won’t; and to the extent that we believe in God, is that extent that miracles manifest.)
49
In this, the Maagid speaks about using transformative thinking:
Sometimes one can elevate a friend’s thoughts.
If someone is ill, one should think about this attribute (say feet) in heaven (if I understand… hence reaching the positive source, eliminating the negative.)
50
Avrohom merited to see the attribute of God’s kindness, as Yitzchok and Yaakov saw theirs (awe and mercy.)
When one cannot see (these attributes) and then they are shown; the pleasure is enormous (for as is known, a constant pleasure ceases to be pleasurable.)
51
When one prays, the words contain God, and when one gazes at their light, one can sees like through a magnifying glass (intense light – this obviously refers to Tzaddikim.)
52
Never read the book – even if it contains Torah and certainly any secular wisdom; if the writer was evil, for his soul has been inscribed.
53
When one needs something, one should realize that one is part of God; like a drop from the ocean and hence one should imagine this lack above and pray for God – then one should foresee, that just as when one is joyous they start involuntarily to tap their hand, similarly, as this lack gets filled above, so below.
54
Because we are in bodies and we only see the tiny spectrum of physical matter, we don’t understand how infinitely great are the spiritual worlds – one should meditate how they are filled with light, and bring this (meditatively) into our universe.
55
First God showed Moshe the Mishkan when he was on the mountain, in a vision, which he recalled – later when it was built and he recalled the spiritual vision, this manifested (on the physical.)
