Turn to the Group for Support

Posted on July 15th, 2024

Question: What is the right way to resolve disagreements in the group? Where should we start?

Answer: Start with wanting to replace your current relationship with love.

Question: What is the importance of turning to the group for support?

Answer: By turning to the group you develop your connection with it, and it begins to act on you through the Creator.

This is very important.

Question: In Rabash’s article, “Woe unto You Who Await the Day of the Lord,” it is written that the Creator has no lack, and therefore no desire—only a game. But isn’t the purpose of creation to delight His creatures, isn’t that the Creator’s desire?

Answer: For the Creator, this is considered a game, but a game does not mean it is not serious. It is said that the Creator sits and plays with the Leviathan. For the Creator, it is a game, but for a person, it should be the game of life.

Feel the Heart of a Friend

Posted on July 15th, 2024

To feel the heart of a friend means that I feel not my own heart but his. I live with his thoughts, aspirations, and intentions so that only they speak within me.

And I have nothing of my own. I have only one desire—to feel theirs.

This is the quality of Malchut, which is called the main Sefira because it receives everything from the first nine Sefirot. Each of us in relation to our friends is Malchut.

Veiled Intention

Posted on July 15th, 2024

Question: If a person perceives pleasure egoistically, like a harmful habit he can’t get rid of, and he suffers from the need to enjoy for himself and wants to get rid of this suffering, is this still aimed at his own benefit in order to ease his own suffering?

Answer: It all depends on the intention. Why do I want to get rid of receiving? Is it to make me feel nicer, pleasant, warmer, or more comfortable? Or do I want to stop receiving to be closer to the Creator?

And here, too, there are several questions. How egoistic is your desire to get closer to the Creator? Maybe you genuinely want to pay attention to Him and at the same time a favor.

The Revival of Past States

Posted on July 15th, 2024

Question: Rabash writes that when there is no place for work and effort, one should strive for effort and take awe from the past. Where does one get this awe from?

Answer: From one’s past states that have already been worked on and corrected; one can revive them in oneself again. Then a person will have another opportunity to rise above himself and get closer to the Creator.

Question: How does he revive these states in himself?

Answer: He feels the states he had before and those he has now, and thus advances with them.

Question: When I return to the state that should help me make an effort now, do I end up repeating exactly what I did in the past?

Answer: No, there are many different components and all of them are now included in the equation of connection, let’s say, between you and me. This connection corrects the overall system.

Where Can I Find Peace?

Posted on July 15th, 2024

Question: Does making an effort always involve nervous tension and emotional upheaval, or can this be done in a calm state?

Answer: No, it is impossible to do anything in a calm state because all that is required of us is to move forward toward the Creator. In this advancement, we gather ourselves, our feelings, our sensations. Therefore, it always involves the tension of our efforts.

Question: So, striving for inner peace means going in the wrong direction?

Answer: No, if the striving for inner peace is connected with the upper, then it is correct. But if it is detached from connection with the upper, then it is a wrong aspiration. Peace can only be achieved when we are included in an upper degree.

Don’t Beat Yourself Up

Posted on July 15th, 2024

Question: What should one do when fear paralyzes them and they cannot do anything?

Answer: I believe the best thing to do is to engage mechanically with your friends. Sit next to them, read something, sing songs, maybe even have a little drink and a bite to eat, and everything will pass.

If you do this in a group of ten, it will definitely be beneficial. Eventually, it will pass on its own. The Creator gives states that gradually dissipate. Using them correctly means realizing them in the group.

This is the best approach. By no means should you sit and worry. It is said that a fool sits and eats his own flesh. So, immediately immerse yourself in the group.

Do not think that if you sit and engage in self-criticism, it is good. No. Any state we have is for the good if it leads us to greater unity in the group.
