The desire for spirituality given to us originally is a point in a person’s heart. Therefore, a person in whom it awakens has to begin to work with this desire and shape it so that it becomes similar to the desire for the light.

Light descends to us through 125 degrees of the worlds: 5 worlds with 5 Partzufim (large steps), each of which has 5 Sefirot, a total of 125.

In our world, we receive it in the form of a very small light Nefesh. “Nefesh” comes from the word “Nefesha,” which means inactive, passively existing, enlivening at the most minimal level and nothing more.

Before beginning to work on ourselves, to reveal our desire, to form it (like, say, we make pastries out of dough) and give desire a specific form and direction, it is necessary to understand what we should strive for. It is said: “Make your desire like that of the upper degree (the Creator), so that it can remake you in its likeness.”

The problem is that we do not know how to achieve this. For this purpose, we have been given our world, in which we can correctly shape ourselves with the help of working with our friends in united prayer, in the united, correctly-tuned, mutual desire.

In striving to unite among ourselves, we talk about coming closer, mutual balance, mutual fulfillment of each other, and mutual support in order to come together to one common desire, a common intention, a common goal.

By this, we form one single correct desire out of everyone, which fully corresponds to the aspirations of each of us, and which is accepted by all at the degree on which we are. Only then will it receive a response from above.

And if the Creator does not answer our prayers, that is, if the upper light does not begin to be felt in our desire, this means that it is not yet unified. The light reacts only to the common desire and the request of ten people united together. Then their desire is directed not at themselves, but at mutual bestowal for one another, for everyone together, and from everyone together to the Creator.

Such a desire is immediately followed by a response from the upper light, which is immediately felt in the group that begins to discover for itself the correct prayer.
