The Force of Internal Connection

938.02Comment: When a person is in a low state, he turns to the group. The group can only recommend one thing—hold on to the Creator, but he does not have that connection with the Creator.

My Response: Then the group will direct them to the Creator through itself.

Comment: But the connection with the Creator is given from above.

My Response: No, the group can guide him toward itself and through the group to the Creator. This is where the force of internal connection between them must manifest.

Question: Can powerlessness be transformed into strength of connection with the Creator?

Answer: Yes, it can. It depends on the environment.

The Request Must Be Genuine

558Question: What is revelation of evil? Is it possible to achieve it?

Answer: Yes, of course. It is said that for this purpose you engage in Torah and commandments, meaning you do everything you can: gather, speak, and feel how egoistic you are in relation to each other and to the whole world. Gradually, this leads to the revelation of evil within you.

When it reaches a certain level, you will inevitably want to turn to the Creator for correction. From that moment on, you begin to ascend the ladder of your corrected qualities.

Question: Does correction occur when we reach a specific point, or is it enough to ask?

Answer: It is enough to ask, but you cannot ask yet. The request must be genuine when you feel how egoistic you are and beg the Creator to rid you of your egoism.

Force the Creator to Reveal Himself

938.03Question: We are trying to correct ourselves and want to ascend the spiritual degrees. What does the growth of the degrees depend on and how can we accelerate it?

Answer: It depends only on you.

The more you pray, ask, and strive for connection with your friends and through it for connection with the Creator, the faster you will reach such great desires that the Creator will be forced to reveal to you everything that He has for you.

Maximum Unity

945We have to know that all the souls extend from the soul of Adam HaRishon, for after he sinned in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, his soul divided into 600,000 souls (Rabash, “What Is the Degree One Should Achieve in Order Not to Have to Reincarnate?”)

The single upper illumination was divided into 600,000 souls. These particles are in all people, in each person.

Question: We increase our small particles with the desire to unite, and each ten creates its own luminous block. We must ignite these sparks in the rest of the world by taking care of dissemination. Kabbalists already see this final part, is this why they have the strength to work without interruption until the end?

Answer: Generally speaking they do not have much strength. As the spiritual world is revealed to a person, he has less and less strength. He needs to make more efforts to unite the spiritual forces within himself and rise to the Creator.

Question: This is very noticeable before a convention. Egoism presses, we don’t want to care about our friends, we want to think less and to unite less. How can each of us imagine the final picture in which we are all united? What should we strive for?

Answer: Toward maximum connection with friends.

Question: Is it possible to awaken sparks of the Creator’s light in each person with our common prayer?

Answer: It is possible. With a common, united prayer, we can achieve complete correction, ascend to the world of infinity, and anything we wish.

Before a Convention

947Question: Before a convention, we set a goal in the ten to get as close as possible to each other and give each other the strength to feel the point of unity so that it would pull us forward. Will we have some other task at the convention? How can we properly prepare ourselves?

Answer: We are learning to unite with each other. Now we are taking the first steps. The biggest problem in the spiritual world is when people who are opposite to each other must meet and unite in such a way that the upper light of the Creator can be revealed in them.

Why is this necessary? We are egoists, and we were initially created that way. If we try to unite, we succeed in this only due to the resistance to our egoism. Therefore, all our work on ourselves consists only in overcoming the ego.

In this way, everyone puts their unification with others above everything else. This is our only task in the science of Kabbalah, which explains the structure of nature, the ten Sefirot, Partzufim, Olamot, the laws of unification, and the laws of commutation.

But all of these are purely external explanations. When we try to master these forces, we experience strong mutual rejection because egoism begins to awaken and does whatever it wants with us. And we can no longer quietly read about unification and rapprochement. This is the main thing in our world, at our level.

Therefore, we must try to unite in such a way that we can have a good impression of each other and gradually come closer to each other. This is what we must do.

Draw Closer to Inner Desires

231.02Question: You said that one should pray to the Creator to point out mistakes and provide explanations. How can I receive these explanations and not confuse them with my own egoism?

Answer: You need to accept them as they come. This is how the Creator wants you to understand and realize your state. Then you should try to change them by drawing closer to your inner thoughts, desires, and forces, and thus gradually ascend the degrees of attainment.

Question: There are times when I pray a lot, but do not receive an answer. What is the Creator trying to tell me by this?

Answer: He is telling you that you have not yet added your most essential desires to your efforts.

Get Closer to Each Other as a Result of Annulment

938.02Question: How does annulment help us love our friends?

Answer: Annulment helps us get closer to a friend to the measure that we remove obstacles because the difficulty of annulment is an obstacle in itself. In this way, we draw closer to each other.

Question: What is the root cause of the problem with annulment?

Answer: The cause lies in the Creator who creates certain states between us that we need to eliminate from our interactions.

Movement in a Straight Line

41.01Question: How will progress take place if everyone in the ten annuls before each other both externally and internally?

Answer: Just as it is happening now. It descends from the Creator, reaches us, and clothes itself in our uncorrected, indirect desires; therefore, we constantly change and fluctuate.

However, if we aim clearly at strengthening our connection through the Creator, we will advance directly, without deviation or confusion.

Question: How do we move toward true nullification in actions and thoughts? How does this happen?

Answer: First comes the intention, and then the action. At the end of the action, we will feel how we realize our intentions.
