The Right Intention

947Question: How does the study of primary sources tune our inner instruments and form a prayer from the depth of the heart?

Answer: The fact is that within the primary sources, just as within your heart, the Creator is present.

If you attune yourself to the primary sources and to the voice of your heart, you practically connect with the Creator. You simply need to ask Him for it. And you must ask so that from within your own feelings, you can form this connection with Him.

Everything is open before you. Ask.

What Is the Essence of Prayer?

945Question: It feels like we lack the words for prayer. Does prayer express itself through words or through feelings?

Answer: The prayer is revealed in the process of searching for those feelings within me that can connect with the Creator and how I turn to Him.

Those states, those requests are the very desires I want to uncover in order to attain the Creator.

Question: So this happens only within me?

Answer: Yes, only within you.

Question: How can I feel that not only my life but also the lives of my friends depend on my prayer?

Answer: You simply need to deepen your thoughts about how connected you must be with all your friends, at least during the congress. Then you will begin to sense, to some extent, the force of connection you wish to attain.

How Can You Attain Contact with the Creator?

938.04Question: During prayer, you reach a certain point that is very difficult to overcome. What should you do to feel that you are in contact with the Creator?

Answer: The easiest way to attain contact with the Creator is through connection with your friends. In other words, it is enough to be included in your ten, and then from within the ten, direct your combined strength toward the Creator so that He will draw you all to Himself.

You will feel how He literally pulls you in and does not let you go.

The Perfection of Prayer

938.03Question: What is the perfection of our prayer?

Answer: It lies in the certainty that if we reach the right kind of prayer, the Creator will surely answer it. In this way, we attain the goal. We will understand this through the states we go through as each one leads us closer to adhesion with the Creator.

Question: How is this different from our current states?

Answer: The point is that we still have no true connection with the Creator. Feeling that some force governs us does not mean we are connected with it.

We call out to it, we feel that we lack it, that without it we are completely abandoned, but if we persistently strike at one point, we will certainly achieve adhesion with the Creator.

Does Good And Evil Exist?

204Question: Is there good and evil regardless of our perception?

Answer: There is no good and evil at all. These sensations manifest only in relation to a person until one corrects them toward the right direction, toward the correct perception of the Creator.

Our world is absolutely subjective. What is good for you may be bad for me. That is why we are always in disagreement with each other.

Question: How can you come to common agreement?

Answer: By rising above yourself! And there, we have a single measurement system—the ten. There, everyone has one perception. It is on different levels, but it is the same.

Question: That is, when you and I rise above our egoism, then we both will say that this is good?

Answer: Yes, we will say the same thing, but it will manifest in us to different degrees, depending on our level.

The System of Souls

209Once upon a time, people desiring to attain spirituality had to subject their bodies to restrictions and suffering in order to break their egoistic desire and acquire a new, bestowing nature. This was the way in the times of the patriarchs and the sages of the Mishnah.

But then came the era of the Talmud, and its sages, the Kabbalists of that time, through their spiritual work, changed the condition of transforming our nature from receiving to bestowing.

Each period contributed its corrected part to the common system of souls. As a result, the system became partially corrected, and all the others within it, the still uncorrected souls, can receive help from the corrected part. We no longer need to torment and limit our body, nor are we capable of it with our enormous egoism.

But the sages of the Talmud made our path easier, and that portion of egoistic desire, which otherwise would have to be broken through tormenting the body with a harsh life, we can now correct through the reforming light.

The patriarchs and the sages of the Mishnah corrected themselves with two actions: the suffering of the body and drawing the light of the Torah. But the sages of the Talmud corrected the system so that instead of bodily suffering, we can correct it with the same light of the Torah.

For our time this is very important, for who today could renounce all the achievements of modern civilization? The Kabbalists of the Talmud corrected themselves, their inclusion in the common system, and its corrected part became great.

Though I may be born uncorrected and wicked, I find myself within a system that includes many corrected parts which sustain it, and if I wish to be corrected, I have somewhere to turn for help and with whom to join!

Now it is only up to me!
