Question: What is this state when you come to complete agreement with the Creator, with the teacher, with the greatness of your friends, and are focused on only one thing: constant prayer for your friends so that they will please the Creator?
Answer: This is a good state. Continue to develop it.

Question: When we study “Preface to the Science of Kabbalah (Pticha)” or TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), I have the feeling as if someone is explaining something from another galaxy. I do not understand where this is inside me. I listen as friends ask questions, as if they are revealing all this within themselves. What can I do to begin to perceive it at least a little in this way?
Answer: Here, I can give only one piece of advice. We are speaking about the spreading of the light in the Kli, in the desire.
Imagine that the light is acting upon you—a desire to fill, to delight, to bestow everything. You reveal it with the intention to receive, and gradually the light enters you and builds within you the corresponding degrees.
In principle, this is the whole science of Kabbalah.

Question: When I hear the words “circle,” “line,” or “Sefira,” images of this world appear in my mind. How should I correctly picture and feel what a circle or a line is?
Answer: These are different ways that the light spreads. A circle is the spreading of light without any limitations, while a Kav (line) is with limitations.
Question: Can we attain anything other than the Kav, for example, the Igul (circle)?
Answer: No, we can attain only the line (Kav), but within it, we attain everything that is necessary. The Creator reveals Himself precisely in this way.

When we read Kabbalistic articles, we must be very careful not to attach them to concepts of time and space and create “idols” for ourselves. Everything written by Kabbalists relates only to our desire, not to any historical events that occurred in the past.
History also relates to our inner perception of reality. There is no geographical location in which all this occurs; “place” is our desire. And there is no time; “time” signifies a change of states.
And when we read such a special article as today’s: “And They Built the Cities of Affliction,” about slave labor for Pharaoh, we must relate everything described only to ourselves, to what happens to us on our spiritual path.
It speaks of what I must go through in my desire, in my relationship with myself, with the group, with the Creator; it speaks of all the means given to me to achieve union with the upper power. There is nothing else but me and Him. And everything else is merely a means to achieving fusion between us.
Everything written in the article must occur only within me, within my soul; that is how I must understand it. And then I will truly study the inner meaning of the material.

Therefore, once all the members of the nation agreed, they were immediately given the Torah, for now they were capable of observing it. But before they grew into a complete nation, and certainly during the time of the fathers, who were unique in the land, they were not truly qualified to observe the Torah in its desirable form, since with a small number of people it is impossible to even begin with engagement in Mitzvot between man and man to the extent of “Love your friend as yourself,” …. This is why they were not given the Torah (Baal HaSulam, “Matan Torah [The Giving of the Torah]”).
A distinction must be made between the Torah of the forefathers and the Torah of the era of Egyptian exile. In Egypt egoism grew to the degree of Pharaoh, and it had to be corrected by the light that returns to the source. But the desires revealed in the times of the forefathers were very pure and did not require this light.
Even afterward, for almost a thousand years until the era of the sages of the Talmud, one had to humble one’s desires through asceticism and labor in the Torah. Only thanks to the corrections carried out by the sages of the Talmud is it sufficient for us to engage in joint study, which brings the light that returns to the source (the reforming light).
In any case, the form of correction of the forefathers differed from ours. In the present stage of development, we must attain love for one’s neighbor as for oneself, and from this it is clear how the Torah, that is, the Kabbalistic method, must be applied. At the end of the Preface to The Book of Zohar, Baal HaSulam explains that first of all it must be realized within the people of Israel, and afterward—in the entire world.
The application of the Kabbalistic method is possible among a great number of people who support one another and become guarantors for one another. Each is obliged to care for everyone else, and then a person has no worries about himself. For even his basic needs he receives because others care for him. As a result, a person completely disconnects from his egoistic desire and performs a restriction upon it.
This restriction is not based on forceful methods, not on self-coercion. It does not mean restraining myself from eating a tasty piece of cake. That would be a diet, not a restriction. What we are speaking of is the action of the light, which raises in my eyes, bestowal above reception, and then I simply cannot receive anything egoistically. Within me there remains the desire to receive, but above it reigns the desire to bestow.
