Question: It is said that you need to create a group for yourself and remind the friends about the greatness of the goal. At first, I saw that everything was good, but now it is a million times worse. If I see how much worse my state is in relation to the goal and to the greatness of the Creator, will this cause me to run away from the group very quickly?

Answer: No! If the friends provide you with the greatness of the Creator, telling you that this is something exalted, how could you run away from it?

Comment: If I see how opposite I am to them.

My Response: It does not matter, because the greatness does not disappear. This is what you do not understand. If I myself supply myself with the greatness of the Creator, and I myself provide the awareness of my own insignificance, then I am the source of two points: Keter and Malchut. Therefore, I can erase both of these things, because they depend on me; I am the source. If I forget, erase, and wipe them out, that is it! Then my life becomes simple and pleasant, and I return to the level of an animal.

But if the group supplies me with the greatness of the Creator, and I see how insignificant I am on that basis, then these are two different sources: Keter and Malchut. In that case, I will not be able to run away because the friends sustain within me the greatness of the Creator. It is like a computer: if you have received a message, it remains inside you even though its source is external.

Thus, if you have received the awareness of the greatness of the Creator from the group  you cannot erase it because it was given to you by the friends and not generated by yourself. It turns out that one cannot cancel out the other.
