World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 1
Question: As I understand it, a person in the state of Lishma is aligned with one thought, with one desire of the Creator. What is this thought of the Creator, and how can it be isolated and cleared from the hundreds of desires that are constantly arising, even now during the lesson?
Answer: At the convention there is a certain atmosphere that everyone can enter. Then our thoughts and desires become more powerful.
When thoughts and their actions that manage our feelings unite and reach a certain magnitude, then we will feel that we have our internal Kli—desire and intention. From this moment onward it will be easier for us to return to these thoughts.

Question: When a person prays to the Creator and receives a response from Him that seems to encourage him to delve deeper into his egoism and see his negative qualities, what does this indicate?
Answer: This means that a person should delve more deeply into himself, and then he will be closer to the Creator.
Question: How does one discern which desires he receives from the Creator and which are under the rule of the evil inclination? How can one know which desires to work with?
Answer: Gradually a person will feel what comes from the Creator and what originates from himself.

Question: Yesterday there was a worldwide women’s gathering as preparation for the convention. At the end of the gathering we felt like one woman. How can we maintain this feeling and bring it into the convention?
Answer: You need to maintain the connection among all the friends so that there is such unity in which you promise not to separate from each other, and then everything will be fine. You will immediately begin to add more and more to the connections between you.

Question: How do we increase the importance of the group?
Answer: It depends on the greatness of the goal. To the extent of its greatness, you attain the greatness of the means to achieve the goal.
The group is the only means by which we can reach the goal.
That is, I can reach eternity and perfection only if I join the group as an absolutely homogeneous integral element, find my place, take it, precisely connect everyone else around me, like a Lego, and precisely replenish what I must replenish. Then I will begin to feel the common life of the entire group, of the entire system, including the Creator.
Imagine that the Creator is revealed within this system in the connections between its elements; in other words, the system in general is more important than the Creator. Although this system is a means for His revelation, and His revelation is the goal, since He is in it, it is as if it includes Him within it. From this point of view, it is greater than the Creator.
Although the Creator has created and fills it, but since it is as if it includes Him, when you attain the full perception, you do not see the difference between them because in their properties they are absolutely similar and equal.

Question: We feel pleasure from our unity. How should we relate to it? When it comes, you want to freeze and not move at all.
Answer: Do not enjoy it like an ordinary egoist. Enjoy the fact that you can attract this pleasure through your friends.
Question: But how do we do this?
Answer: Tell yourself that you want to see this pleasure coming to you through your friends.
Question: Can we try to internally give this pleasure to our friends?
Answer: No, you cannot imagine any pleasures with which you fill others. It is unnatural. We will talk about this later.

What Is the Benefit of Saying Words of Praise about One Another?
I am sitting in a group, and suddenly the entire group begins speaking about a friend who is not present. Everyone praises his actions, talking about how amazing and serious he is. I am surprised because I never thought of him that way and, in fact, I did not particularly value him. However, when I hear others praising him so highly, a fire ignites within me. I start feeling envious and compare him to myself: “How could this be? Why him? And where am I? Could he already be at a higher degree than me?” This burning envy energizes me.
We should seek conducts that ignite this inner fire, which stir up envy that is beneficial for the goal. It should not be envy that drives us to sabotage a friend’s path so that he does not stand out too much. Such envy only harms us. Without beneficial envy, there is no progress, and envy carries great power that needs to be properly utilized.
