Light of the Holidays

589.02Question: We have holidays ahead of us: the period of Slichot, Rosh HaShanah, and Yom Kippur. If the states of time in the spiritual and material are not connected, then what place do these holidays occupy in the spiritual?

Answer: We must know in general what is happening in spirituality because the general influence of light descends upon us, we depend on it, but nothing more.

The most important thing is what happens in our hearts.

Hasten Spiritual Time

275Question: Can we say that we need to strive to hasten the movement from one form to another? Upon reaching a certain degree, should we not so much enjoy the new level but look toward the next degree, and thus move toward a new crisis of transition into the next form?

Answer: That is absolutely right. We must feel what time is demanding from us and remain connected with it together.

Question: There are states when it seems practically impossible to accept a new form. What actions can be taken so that this process happens more smoothly and quickly?

Answer: The most important thing is to be united with one another in the group. In this way, we can hasten time.

The Main Obstacle

231.01Question: What is the most important obstacle to revealing the stages of the development of desire in oneself?

Answer: The obstacle is that we must reveal the Kli, the desire (Ratzon) in which the light will be expressed in full.

There are many nuances and components here. We will still study this and implement it in practice.

“Either Correct Me, Or Kill Me”

939.02Question: My friends and I must come to a request to the Creator: “Either correct me, or kill me.” But looking into my heart I see that I am like a cat that, thanks to the environment, has been trained to walk with a tray, and if a mouse runs by I will dash after it. How will I come to a sincere desire?

Answer: This is possible only under the influence of the upper light. Did you think you could manage on your own?!

Question: Must the desire be such that the light will act?

Answer: No! You cannot have such a desire. From where?! You are an egoist by nature. If you slightly nullify yourself before the other egoists, then the Creator will respond to your mutual nullification.

When you create in the center of the ten such a field where each of you nullifies yourself, an empty space will form, a white spot. The Creator will act on that.

Question: So we will come to the desire “better death than such a life,” or is that impossible?

Answer: You will come to the desire to unite thanks to envy, when you show one another how far each of you has already progressed. Then your ego will force you to be different.

Time in Spirituality

938.07Question: Time in spirituality is a change of states. The faster they change, the faster we move. That is, time accelerates.

The Baal Shem Tov spoke about states changing “400 times a minute.” To what extent does this depend on us, and to what extent on the Creator?

Answer: A change of state depends only on our environment. To the extent we are connected with it, to that extent we will change with it.

Question: What does it mean that we as a group, as a ten, are going through spiritual time?

Answer: We are going through spiritual time if we feel changes occurring in us. And in accordance with them, we will feel how much we rise spiritually.
