Move Forward after the Congress

275Question: We had an amazing congress. In Kazakhstan, there were more than 300 friends, many of whom came from Petach Tikva, Russia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. At the congress, as you said, we had a great expansion.

And now you are saying that each small group that did all this together with the world Kli needs to work more in depth. What does “go deeper” mean? In spirituality the connection is preserved?

Answer: The connection is, of course, remains in your group. Maybe it is not so noticeable because you were united at the congress and there was a strong external pressure on you.

And now we need to merge with those groups, with that pressure that they want from the Creator and from everyone else. After all, every group wants to move forward. From today onward, we have entered the post-congress phase.

In short, we have to agree among us in the group on how to get closer to each other and also agree on this between the groups. Basically, what we want is for each group to be responsible for the others. That is enough for now, and then we will move forward.

Continuous Search

504Question: How can we make it so that everyone thinks about one goal?

Answer: We must search for it. There are no ready-made solutions for every moment of our life. This is our job.

We must search for what kind of connection and in what form I must have at every second so that I may draw the surrounding light upon myself, which will give me some inspiration in relation to spirituality, in relation to the realization of the law of mutual guarantee, love for the neighbor, and adhesion with the Creator.

The Most Important Topic in the Wisdom of Kabbalah

214The topic of “There is None Else Besides Him” is the most important in the wisdom of Kabbalah, and each time it is perceived in a new way. It seems to us that we are repeating the same words, but there is never any repetition because we are changing all the time.

Therefore, this concept will be perceived by us in a new way. If a person does not feel any changes, then he should worry about it.

The concept of “There is None Else Besides Him” is always changing because it speaks about the Creator Himself, about His uniqueness, about the higher governance that acts upon us.

Give Up Your Ego

528.02If each person in the group annuls themselves, a collective Kli (vessel) is formed in which there can be no other desire except to bring contentment to the Creator.

Friends gather together, each one with their own ego. Each begins to fight with everyone else for the sake of their ego. But gradually, through the surrounding light, with the help of various means that they employ, they begin to discover that it is worthwhile to renounce their ego, to unite with everyone, and to accept what the group dictates.

And when everyone together begins to bow before some idea, not yet really knowing what it is, then through the accumulation of these renunciations of their ego, a single annulment of us in relation to the Creator begins to be revealed. With the correct connection for the sake of bestowal, in faith above reason, the group’s collective desire will be directed only toward the Creator.

But if the development is incorrect, then even when the friends unite and are able to yield to one another, it will resemble the sin of Sodom. They will be directed not toward the Creator, but toward themselves, supposedly for the sake of the good of society, a kind of an abstraction. And this will lead to destruction, as it happened in Russia and in the Kibbutzim. But we see that this is no longer happening.

If the development is correct, then when we unite in a group, it will be revealed that we are incapable of doing this; for it, we need the force of the Creator, His presence as a guarantor, as the one who binds us together.

Therefore, we can say that there is a certain confidence that we are progressing correctly.

The Purpose of Israel

243.04It is said that the Creator went from nation to nation, wishing to give the Torah for the correction of the qualities of the will to receive, but no one was able to accept it. Then He gave it to Israel, that is, to Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE).

Thus, there exist qualities called Galgalta ve Eynaim, and if they undergo a shattering together with the AHP and become mixed with it, then afterward, through them, it becomes possible to correct AHP, in other words, to bring the Torah to the nations of the world through Israel, as correction and fulfillment.

After all, the receiving vessels are, in fact, the purpose of creation, and their adhesion with the Creator is the desired final state.

Therefore, in correcting the souls after the shattering, when all these parts are intermixed, GE is corrected first, the category of Israel, which originally required no correction.

Still, it must be corrected so that, once extracted from the mixture and corrected, it serves as an auxiliary system intended solely to correct AHP.

Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 141

Is the Desire for Spirituality, the Point in the Heart, the Greatest Desire?

Yes, the desire for spirituality is the greatest desire for us who begin to develop, even someone who lived 5,000 years ago, or 1,000 years ago, it does not matter when. All of humanity is in a state of development. What is development? It means that desires grow and expand.

For example, 50 years ago, it was hard to find a variety of goods at the grocery store. You could buy bread, milk, and maybe one type of yogurt. Today, you walk into a supermarket and an enormous range of products is spread before your eyes, in every color, flavor, and size, with low-fat and high-fat options, and local and imported products. Such variety never existed before. This gives us an idea of what development means.

Desires constantly grow, and they also divide into countless detailed categories, more than one could ever imagine, which provide many nuances. Today, we can distinguish among 50 types of food and know exactly which one we want. It is almost madness, but that is how it is. Look at how many distinctions can be made even within a single category of food, and it is the same with every aspect of life.

Why does this happen? It is because the will to receive is constantly in a process of development, demanding greater and more diverse fulfillment. According to this growing need, we receive new thoughts and ideas about how to satisfy ourselves with a variety of items. Suddenly, we realize that there is a new “socket” or gap in our desire that can be filled with another flavor, another item.

Therefore, we develop until all the beastly or animalistic desires, more or less, become familiar and understood. Then, a new desire becomes introduced: the desire for spirituality. This desire is called the “point in the heart,” and it is positioned against the animalistic desires. Now, they start to develop against each other. At this point, we begin to feel a split. We feel like a pendulum swinging between these two forces without understanding where it will lead or how it is happening.
