The people of Israel are not formed simply by ordinary individuals connecting with one another. They become a people because together they attach themselves to Moses.
Moses is called the “faithful shepherd,” that is, the emissary of the Creator within the people. And the concept “people of Israel” means that they are connected with Moses.
Moses is the quality of Israel (“Yashar El” – straight to the Creator), the one who points the way. The others, like a flock, simply follow him, and he leads them out of Egypt.
But if each one of the three million Jews who were in Egypt at the time had connected individually with Moses, would that not have sufficed? Why did they have to unite among themselves in order to be able to connect to Moses and, through him, to the Creator? Why was their unification a necessary condition?
The necessity to joining oneself to Moses means the annulment of egoism, of self‑love. And the result of this is love of the neighbor. Therefore, first the people unite among themselves, that is, they nullify their egoism, their love of self, and only then are they able to receive the message of love for the Creator from Moses, and through Moses, to connect with the Creator.
Not every person must attain the level of Moses, but everyone must accept the work “to love one’s neighbor” on the level appropriate to the ordinary people of Israel.

What Will Help You Get Out of Egypt?
Question: If the people of Israel already came out of Egypt once, then why must we repeat this again now?
Answer: In the historical process of its development, the people of Israel carried out the exodus from Egypt about 4,000 years ago; therefore, we do not need to go through this again on the material level now.
We do not need to journey to Ur of the Chaldeans and then relocate to Israel, descend from Israel into Egypt, return from there to the Land of Israel again, build the First and Second Temples, and go through this entire process once more.
The material bodies in past incarnations did what they were required to fulfill at the level of the spiritual roots; they realized it within matter. However, nothing was accomplished in spirituality since the soul had not yet attained that level.
At the time when all these events took place on the material level, the people, in the spiritual sense, were at their usual degree, at the level of the masses. Both the exodus from Egypt and the entry into the Land of Israel occurred solely on the material level.
All that they possessed on the spiritual level at that time was merely a glimmer of the level of Nefesh, that is, a sensation that they were close to spirituality, to the Creator, and a sense of the importance of their actions, like a person who is under the influence of the spiritual.
But since a specific spiritual root exists, it must necessarily extend into the material world and be realized here. This is precisely why we went through this entire path on the earthly level once with the exception of the final correction.
We have already been in Egypt, exited it, conquered the Land of Israel, built the First Temple at the level of Mochin deHaya, only to see it destroyed, then built the Second Temple at the level of Mochin deNeshama,” and it too was destroyed. We went into exiles. We passed through several exiles and have now returned from the last one.
And now we must build the Third Temple, one in which Mochin deHaya and Mochin deNeshama will be present together as Mochin deYechida, so that the Third Temple encompasses the essence of both it predecessors combined.
This signifies that in the material world we have already traversed the entire path up to the very end of correction. But in spirituality we have not yet accomplished anything. We have only just arrived at our current state, the preparation period. Now we must carry out the exodus from Egypt, enter spirituality, and then go through this entire path in spirituality.
Our present era is the time when, in the near future, all souls are destined to complete their preparatory stage and enter the upper world; they will begin to ascend the spiritual ladder and, pass all 125 degrees, and reach the end of correction.
In the material we have practically nothing left to realize except what must still be done before the building of the Third Temple. The outcome, whether we encounter further suffering or goodness will be revealed to us so that we may come to our final correction, depends on our inner work, on our deeds.

Question: What do we have to clarify? What is lies before us? What is it?
Answer: It is the Creator! Nothing else! He constantly presents us with such scenes and visions so that we will remain in a state of fear all the time and gradually, little by little come to understand these mirages.
Question: So my inclination to suffering should transform into the understanding that what actually stands before me is…?
Answer: A mirage. The moment you begin to suffer, it takes on the guise of various corporeal actions and scenes.
Comment: Wars and so on.
My Response: Yes, but if you do not allow yourself to suffer, then everything is corrected.
Question: And then I slowly begin to perceive the Creator?
Answer: Yes.
Question: When you say “the Creator,” what do you mean? What stands before me, before us?
Answer: It is the force that governs the world and governs us; the force that wants to bring us to the awareness of the correct state of nature and of ourselves.
Question: What is that state?
Answer: Joy!

Question: What does it mean to build a better environment each time?
Answer: Building a better environment means that I devote myself to it with the intention that it will become stronger and support me when I need it. I invest myself in it to the extent that I have something to invest. And by helping others, I essentially express love for the friends.
The group can present you with a new, stronger desire for the Creator each time, and if you nullify yourself before it, you can receive from it.
You change the group by constantly investing in it, making it stronger; and you nullify yourself before it to an ever-greater extent, and it becomes increasingly bestowing toward you. This is called “each time, a different environment.”
Sometimes I hear people say they want to move from one group to another. There is no need for this, why do it? On the contrary, if you feel uncomfortable in your group, it means there is a place there where you should invest your efforts. In fact, it does not matter which group you are in. If a person is ready to bestow and to humble himself before it, the group can even consist of beginners.
When a new person arrives, they are burning with desire, wanting constantly to sit right next to me, even fighting for it. But after some time passes, they move farther away and “call” me from a distance, as if with a remote control. I was better off with them when they were just beginners, their desire ignited me. And now where is it? It seems to them that they already know everything, understand everything. And so, it is with each of you.
