Question: Hatred, as I understand it, is my natural state. From where will the desire to love the one I hate come to me?
Answer: From above, from the Creator, only from Him.
When you truly want love for others to appear within you, then you will begin to ask for it, and it will appear.
Because in your intention to express love toward others, within that very intention, you will begin to feel the opposite quality of the Creator—how He loves you. And your mutual love toward others and the love of the Creator toward you will complement one another, merge into each other, and fill each other.
This is the state called the upper world.

Question: How can you check whether you are applying your 100% effort toward the group’s common center so that a proper circle is formed?
Answer: One hundred percent effort in the group can be checked by whether you are left without a single thought about yourself because you understand that all your attainments, even egoistic (Lo Lishma) ones exist only in its center.
There is no other place where you could reveal anything greater than earthly, material life except in the group’s central point. And now, all together, like children in a kindergarten, try to make a circle!
But where is that center? How do you find it? There is no center; it is an imaginary point. First you must make the circle, and then you will find its center. This approach is accepted in the spiritual realm.
In the material world, you first choose the center and then draw a circle around it with a compass. In the spiritual world, we reveal the central point in which the Creator is found precisely by building the circle. And then we reveal Him. We proceed from below upward in our revelation.
Within a single person, there is nothing to be done; he will remain at the degree of animal desire. But if he builds a circle with other people, a human form, Adam, is formed, that is, one similar to the Creator. If everyone is in balance, in harmony, all connected, that form that resembles the Creator, is called Adam, a man.
How then do we by our common efforts build the circle among us? All the writings of RABASH about the group explain that. Each must annul himself relative to the others in order to receive from them the greatness of the goal. And the goal is the attainment of mutual bestowal.
We all together apply a single common effort toward one another, and all together toward the Creator. This is called: “Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one.” After all, we all wish to build among us a network of mutual connections that covers and fills the entire circle we construct. And when we complete it, we reveal the Creator in the center of that constructed circle.
We sense Him throughout the whole network that covers this circle and stretches between us, but His root is in the very center.

What is love? It is when I feel myself physically connected with another, dependent on him and he on me so much so that I cannot exist without him, and he cannot exist without me. Such a state obliges us to care for one another.
Question: So I have a desire for him to feel good all the time? For him to be happy?
Answer: I think about him because by doing so, I also ensure my own well-being.
Comment: You are not destroying this egoistic foundation. You are not destroying it; it always remains.
My Response: And it is necessary. You cannot get rid of it. It is like in a couple who love each other; it is egoistic love. They understand that without each other, they will feel worse. And they care for one another because in doing so each one is really caring for oneself.
Question: Then when does war, hatred occur? At what moment?
Answer: When those bonds are broken. When I stop caring about the other, I begin to fight with him. There can be no peace. Peace can exist only when we are dependent on each other, when this dependence is mutual, and when we absolutely must be together.
Question: So your main advice is to build such connections that can never be broken?
Answer: Yes.
Question: In everything, be dependent in everything?
Answer: In everything. That is how it is in nature. That is how it is in the global nature, in the cosmos, everywhere is the same.
Question: If we speak of governments, should their main concern be to ensure that one cannot exist without another? That I cannot exist without the other?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What happened to the world then? Why is it like this?
Answer: People became independent. They think they can exist without one another, can conquer one another, and so on. But in fact, that is not the true principle.
Question: Yet we have always said that today’s world is interconnected, completely interconnected. Why don’t we see it?
Answer: We do see it. That is why the world still exists and remains interdependent. But you see how people use this mutual dependence in a way that leads to poverty, to death, and so on.
Question: So still, this principle “that I should feel good and not that he should feel good,” this principle rules—“that I should feel good”?
Answer: Unfortunately, a person does not understand the universal law that it can be good only if it is good for everyone. Otherwise, everything constantly boils in a cauldron of hatred. That is our egoism, created by the Creator so that we would see that we can never get along with each other except if we accept the rule of the Creator, the rule of love, and cover everything with this feeling, with this attitude.
Question: So this egoism, I must cover it with love?
Answer: Yes, and this must be practiced every day, remind ourselves, speak about it every day, and so on.
Comment: A person always feels that the work should end someday. But you say it will never end.
My Response: Never. Every day you must think about how you love the other and hear the same from him.
Comment: That requires not just inner strength but higher forces!
My Response: When you understand that it is inevitable, it no longer feels difficult.
Question: Is there a moment when it becomes an easy path?
Answer: Yes, it becomes second nature.
Question: And for close ones to live in peace and love, what is needed for that?
Answer: They must need each other, need and not suppress and get rid of each other to be free, but understand that their life, their freedom, their very existence depends on the other.

We all understand how important prayer is, which emanates from our connection with each other, from a common heart. It has the power to rise directly to the Creator and enter into Him so that He will feel that we are all directed in only one direction: toward the connection between us and Him. Let’s hope that we will be able to do this. May the Creator help us!
The main thing is to achieve the right prayer, the right desire, by uniting all hearts into one heart, and from it raise our request to the Creator. We will try to create this common force, which is all directed at the Creator, and it will help us rise to the Creator and embrace each other. And then we will surely receive the same answer from Him. The Creator will embrace us all together and unite us into one body with this embrace.
Proper prayer is a request that comes from our common heart and reaches the “heart” of the highest level. Each of us joins this common heart, which aspires directly to the Creator and is included in Him. We have no other desire, and there is no other place for us but to feel ourselves at this central point of connection between all of us and in union with the Creator.
The task of every person at the congress is to find a way to unite with his ten and all the other tens into one big spiritual Kli, and to unite this common Kli with the Creator. That is, to unite into “one man with one heart” and thereby reveal the Creator.
We all cancel ourselves out and want to unite together into one desire in order to feel and reveal the Creator in this desire. Even if we are still far from each other, our desire to unite will bring us closer and raise our bond to the height of “one man with one heart.” And from this point, we will feel fused with the Creator into one whole.

Question: What is the reality of the restriction of the light? Why must the created being be limited in order to perceive this light?
Answer: Any spiritual state can be felt only if it is limited. The boundary of the Kli means that the Kli cannot receive more than its measure. It is precisely through its ability to set such a boundary that it gains the possibility to receive the upper light within that limitation.
Question: Does this mean that in the state of complete correction these boundaries disappear?
Answer: In complete correction, everything is entirely different.

Question: We are supposed to receive the light in order to pass it on to our friends. How should we correctly approach this understanding?
Answer: You must appeal to the upper Partzuf, the Partzuf of Adam Kadmon. It is He who grants you the ability to perform restriction (Tzimtzum), to establish a screen (Masach), to raise reflected light (Ohr Hozer), and to receive in order to bestow (Lekabel al Menat Lehashpia).
All these actions can only be carried out with His help. The upper Partzuf must perform these actions upon you after you express your desire for them to take place.
