Question: RABASH writes that the purpose of the group is that the Shechina should dwell among us. How can we picture this: everyone the same, or each in his own way?
Answer: Each in his own way. But still, it is precisely the connection between us that then turns into connection with the Creator.
Question: And how is this connected with awe before the Creator?
Answer: Awe is that feeling which we discover in the connection between us.

Why Develop Trepidation in Ourselves?
Therefore, come and see how grateful we should be to our teachers, who impart us their sacred lights and dedicate their souls to do good to our souls. They stand in the middle between the path of harsh torments and the path of repentance. They save us from the netherworld, which is harder than death (Baal HaSulam, Introduction to the Book Panim Meirot uMasbirot).
On the memorial day of the great Kabbalist, our teacher RABASH, we do not indulge in memories and do not mourn his passing as is customary in the corporeal world, which is far from the truth.
We perceive this day as an opportunity to connect even more strongly, to cleave, to draw closer to our root. Because RABASH is the revelation of the Creator in relation to us in a certain form and with a certain force.
We wish to thank the Creator for having sent us such a messenger through whom He opened for us the possibility of drawing near to the upper force, of correcting ourselves, bringing us to resemblance with the Creator. Through RABASH we bind ourselves to the Creator because he is an intermediate degree between us and the Creator thanks to which we exist and receive all that is necessary for spiritual ascent through it.
RABASH is revealed to us as a system connecting us with the Creator, through which we can realize ourselves and draw nearer to the truth. Therefore, we recall, not the external image of the man and his earthly habits, but first and foremost consider him as a special revelation of the Creator toward us, manifesting Himself in such a form.
The more we revere RABASH, the more we draw near to the Creator, treasuring that special revelation which the Creator made through him. Thus, the upper force called “RABASH,” becomes important for us, links us to the Creator, and brings us closer to Him.
To some extent, this revelation of the Creator was manifested in an external form, and then it disappeared. We, however, must, despite this external disappearance, this dimming, likewise illuminate ourselves and attain connection with RABASH, with this spiritual root, as with our higher degree, in order through it to connect with the Creator.
There are special souls through which the Creator influences a certain number of lower souls. As though the brain gives a command to an important organ so that it may send signals to various cells of the body under its governance and direct their behavior. RABASH, who was the continuation of Baal HaSulam in our generation, became a turning point for us, the source of the modern, practical method of spiritual ascent.
Therefore, we must understand what a gift we have been granted by having been given the opportunity to connect with him, to absorb from him the method suited to our days, and to realize it.
How grateful we must be to our teacher, RABASH, whose soul, this part of reality, was so great that it could form and transmit the entire method of correction to us. Without him, it would have been extraordinarily difficult, perhaps even altogether impossible for us to attain the spiritual world.
The upper force spreads within the system of Adam HaRishon, reveals itself from above downward by enlivening more and more parts of the soul. And when the light must spread into the lower layers of the system, to enliven the next organs in the chain of the body of Adam HaRishon, the need for the higher, special parts of the system to enter this work arises.
Development proceeds from above downward, and therefore, when some lower degree develops, it induces changes in all the higher degrees. Every correction is intended only for awakening ever lower souls, called “the Last Generation,” to also bring them to resemblance with the Creator.
RABASH symbolizes a great, global force acting upon our entire generation. What remains for us is only to realize the method of Baal HaSulam, which was transmitted to us and explained by RABASH. Therefore, we study the articles of RABASH in order to perceive the world as a single system and to actualize it correctly, to which RABASH leads us in the most practical form.
Baal HaSulam is revealed to us not as a guide, but as a scientist who knows all of creation from end to end and even beyond its limits. And RABASH takes us by the hand, like an adult guiding a child, and leads us along this path until the very end of correction. He opens the path for us and walks beside us.
The heavy, coarse souls revealed in our generation would not be able to attain adhesion with the Creator without the method revealed to us by RABASH. Because he explains how to attain those states about which Baal HaSulam writes.
Baal HaSulam writes about the higher degrees and higher states as a scientific researcher. And RABASH speaks more, not about the degrees themselves, but about the inner work a person must perform to attain them; that is, about the means: the environment, unity, self-annulment.
Baal HaSulam describes the entire upper system in these books, but these are not textbooks by which one can ascend. He is like a composer who wrote a symphony. But we first need to learn musical notation and the technique of scales before we can read that score and play it. For this, we need another person, a teacher, and such a teacher for us became RABASH, who leads us through the entire path.
Without his explanations, we might have become confused in the teachings of Baal HaSulam and begun to interpret them incorrectly, according to our own imagination. But if we realize the instructions of RABASH, which enable us to attain such attainment, then we will begin to understand what Baal HaSulam writes about.

Question: You said that the descent of light from above downward is one law, and our work from below upward is another law. I always thought that by ascending from below upward we attain the same laws.
Answer: The descent from above downward proceeds from the upper one to the lower one. Thus they unite and transmit to each other the filling with the round light (Igulim).
And from below upward is a different property, when each Igul (circle) gains its thickness and, by means of the Masach, emits reflected light. Through this light, it ascends to the Malchut of the previous Igul (circle) and shines in it.

Question: How does awe before the Creator differ from awe of using one’s receiving Kli, which is discussed in RABASH’s article “Purpose of Society – 1”?
Answer: By using our Kli (the natural, innate desire to receive), we discover all sorts of desires to receive. And if we connect with other companions, our desires become a shared, mutual desire to bestow.
Thus, in our connection, a shared desire to bestow is revealed that is directed toward the Creator. This is the difference between each individual’s desire and the desire of the group.
A group is one and one more, one and two more, one and three more. The quantity is not so important; the direction is what matters. In this case, everyone’s desire will be directed toward their friends.
Question: However, RABASH is talking specifically about awe.
Answer: Awe is a state when a person deeply desires something but has not yet received it, has not mastered it. We will still attain awe. Everyone will have it.

How Can We Awaken Trembling?
Before Whom to Tremble?
My doubts are so great that I do not know where to put a foot down! There is no where I can place my foot in this life; I do not know where to step. This is a wonderful state! This is when you have only one thing to do—a possibility to turn to the Creator and feel that you depend only on Him!
That is all. This is the most reliable and the most correct.
Question: Are you saying that we can only rely on Him and no one else?
Answer: Of course. If He gives us such states that we feel that there is no one else besides Him, this is great salvation.
Comment: It would be nice to come to this state. Then the solution about apartments, sneakers, cars, whom to follow…
My Response: Let these questions constantly arise, any questions, but I would only find answers if I aspire to the Creator. Then everything is solved along the way.
Comment: But this is not easy!
My Response: Otherwise we cannot do anything. These constant doubts are all necessary for us in this life. Everything comes from the Creator, in my egoism it turns into doubts, into indecisiveness, into questions.
I send all of these back to Him together with my egoism. I cling to Him. In this state, I am awaiting the solution, and not simply a solution, I await the action so the Creator Himself would do it and carry it out. It is like you take a baby, put him in front of you, and move his legs, teach him how to walk. This is the way.
Question: This is beautiful! What you said I can relate it to any question at the lowest everyday level?
Answer: At any level.
Question: Up to the highest one?
Answer: Definitely
Question: And then will I hear the answer? If I tune myself, will I hear the answer?
Answer: Since the Creator is perfection that includes everything, for Him, in the creation there is no a small, insignificant, or a big event. They are all equal.
Question: Are you saying that small steps of this little person, a child, they all lead to daddy, to father? He wants us to walk there gradually, with little steps?
Answer: Obviously. You just have to feel that He is placing your feet and directing you to Him precisely with the help of these questions, failures, states of uncertainty, and so forth.
