Preparation for the Lesson

Posted on October 5th, 2024

Question: When I read our sources before bed, sometimes I find myself deeply immersed in a single sentence. On the other hand, I push myself to finish reading the entire article. Which is preferable: the quality of immersion or the effort to read as much as possible?

Answer: It depends on a person’s state. Sometimes just one paragraph can explain more to you than reading the entire article. Therefore it is impossible to say exactly how much you need to read.

However, as a rule it is better to read the article that we are going to study the next day. In this way, you gradually get used to absorbing large volumes of material.

We would typically receive an article from Rabash that he had written the day before, and we would read it together at a gathering. The next morning, he would explain the article, expand on it, and answer questions. We should do the same; there is no need to rush forward.

The Path that Gives the Sense of the Creator

Posted on October 5th, 2024

Question: Baal HaSulam writes there is nothing more natural or necessary than connection with the Creator because He is nature. Is it possible to convey this to the world, not through faith below knowledge or religion, but rather in or above knowledge?

Answer: No, imagine we are in a state where the Creator sends us some signals from His level, from His height. We cannot recognize them correctly. The only thing we can do is ask Him to draw us to Him. Only then will we begin to feel and understand Him more and come into contact with Him.

The feeling of the Creator can only be obtained through the path Kabbalah offers. All other paths are built on accustoming oneself to believing there is some kind of power.

Question: So without uniting people into tens, without a practical methodology, it is not possible to give it to the world?

Answer: No, nature is designed so that only through tens can we draw closer to the Creator.

Treat Each Other with Kindness

Posted on October 5th, 2024

Question: How can I stop viewing my friends as rivals and start seeing them as partners on the path to the Creator? How can I seem them as parts of my soul, without jealousy, comparison, or anger?

Answer: It is a challenge to move from hatred to love. It cannot be done in one leap, but it can be done gradually.

First of all, constantly ask the Creator to give you the ability to see only positive qualities in your friends. In this way, you will appreciate them for the good that is revealed to you.

Every person has both good and bad qualities, but you want to see only the good. It is like parents who see only the good in their little child, but if you ask others, what will they say about this child? Only negative things.

So it all depends on how we look at things. We should try to see everyone completely independently of our personal feelings, and then we will be able to see correctly. That is all.

Convey Our Attitude to the Creator

Posted on October 5th, 2024

Question: Right now, we feel that we have received the upper light and are searching for how to act for the sake of the Creator so it does not leave us. What should our unified action be to convey this attitude to Him?

Answer: For this, we must feel the Creator, connect with Him, and transmit to Him what is within us: our desires, our hearts. And then, everything will work out.

This can be broken down into several steps. First we need to unite all our hearts together. Then we connect our heart with the Creator and transmit our attitude from it to the heart of the Creator.
