We are unable to perform any action directly related to the Creator. All of them should pass only through the group, in the center of which we will reveal this essence called the Creator.

The Creator does not exist separately, by Himself. Only if I bring the group together, wishing to unite it, and it turns into a single whole—there, within this unity, I begin to discover the Creator for myself. I cannot find Him otherwise.

There is a very clear chain leading to the Creator: love of friends -> awe -> faith -> love for the Creator. Only in this way can we reach Him, otherwise we miss.

The concept of “the Creator” is one, unified, single force, attainable within the unity of the group. If I can direct all my desires and intentions toward unification, I will be able to imagine this single concept, which is the Creator.

Before I can imagine it, the Creator does not exist. There is no Creator without creation. All the work carried out in the group is designed to clarify the concept of the Creator. This does not mean we practice here but reveal the Creator somewhere else.

It is within our work in the group, in concentrating all our efforts on the concept of unity, on uniting the group, all friends, all desires and intentions, evil and good inclinations into one single whole, at the very top of the middle line do we reveal the Creator.

When I become included in a friend, I become imbued with his properties, desires, and goals. But I cannot do it myself, I only make efforts, and the upper light binds us into a system of ten Sefirot, into a spiritual Partzuf, into a vessel of the soul. In this vessel (Kli) we begin to feel all kinds of phenomena. Under the influence of light, we make a restriction, a screen, reflected light, and coupling while striking (Zivug de Hakaa), with the light.

Even if we do not want to connect and act through force, we are already awakening the light. The main thing is that this light does not come to us from above uninvited, pushing us toward each other with a negative force, but that we ourselves ask for its awakening, striving for the center of the group.

With our efforts to unite, we awaken the light that returns to the source, which, acting through the center of the group, attracts us to the center with its centripetal force. We should leave our ego behind, where it is now, and strive with our hearts toward the center of the group.
