Question: Once a person understands the necessity of mutual guarantee (Arvut), what are the stages of achieving it?
Answer: We study about them in many articles. Everything you wish to achieve can only be realized with the help of the upper light.
When it shines a bit more, you understand a bit more; it shines still more, you begin to feel more.
You begin to analyze with both your mind and heart. By comparing them, you understand what governs you, whether you are guided by the criterion of bitter–sweet or by truth–falsehood.
Thus, all our work is aimed at attracting the surrounding lights, and with their help we see in which state we are regarding Arvut and the correction of the general Kli.

Where Does The Mutual Guarantee Take Us?
We must understand that the law of mutual guarantee, which is the foundation of love for one’s neighbor, is not yet love for Him.
It is only a law according to which we will relate to each other in such a way as to give everyone the feeling that they lack nothing.
We perform corrections on their desire to receive, we provide such compensation that this desire is in restriction. It does not break out in a person and does not demand fulfillment. A person is content that he has everything he vitally needs because he receives a certain correction and corresponding influence from other souls: “Do not worry, we take care of you, you will not lack anything.”
And then each person becomes free to develop his Kelim of bestowal, that is, the Kelim of love for one’s neighbor.
Mutual guarantee is only half of the state. It is necessary in order to calm the desire to receive and gradually turn it toward serving one’s neighbor, toward loving him. But this is the work that comes after mutual guarantee. And when we begin to engage in love for one’s neighbor, then through this we achieve equivalence of qualities with the Creator.

Mutual Guarantee Is The Precondition For Our Spiritual Birth
How can we bring everyone to think about one goal? This is what we must seek because there are no ready-made solutions for every moment of our lives.
We need to search for what kind of connection and in what form, I must have at each moment, so that I may draw upon myself the surrounding light, and that it may give me some elevation toward the spiritual, that is, toward fulfilling the law of mutual guarantee, love for one’s neighbor, and adhesion with the Creator.
All the data is already within us, and according to it, the surrounding light shines upon me. I only need to be sensitive to the difference between me and it, and with its help I need to adjust myself to reach correction. I need to come to a state where the surrounding light affects precisely the uncorrected vessels, my uncorrected intentions.
And each time, I must analyze my states, and clarify them. But I can only be ready for this when the group gives me the sense of importance: “Look, you are sick! A terrible disease is consuming you, and if you do not detect it, you will die! Look at what is inside you!”
Nevertheless, we see that a person does not really listen to this. He is not in a hurry to go to the doctor. ”Maybe in a week… It is not scary yet.” But if he is told this from all sides, and terrifying stories are shared about those who did not go to the doctor, then he will run to the doctor, even if he does not feel anything yet. That is exactly what we need.
All the components are already within us: the light shines, and the vessel is uncorrected. Necessity compels us to begin the work of analysis and correction.

How Can We Reach a State of Lo Lishma Before the Barrier So That the Creator Will Pass Us Through the Barrier?
RABASH says that before the barrier, we must reach a state of “until it does not let me sleep,” “I am lovesick.” This is such an immense extent of yearning for the Creator that does not leave our eyes day or night. It is all we want, and we become locked onto the object of our yearning. Such a state means that we have prepared a vessel, and the Creator discerns our preparation and, according to that preparation, grants the correction, the degree, the vessel. The Creator cannot give us what we have not asked for. We do not receive fulfillment into the vessel we have prepared, otherwise it would turn into a Klipa. Instead, first we acquire a correction, the initial screen.
