How can you accelerate the transition between states? Only by clarifying in every situation that all the circumstances depend on me. This is a very simple psychological method.
I am facing some kind of problem, a different one every time, so I have to identify my desire and clarify within it which aspects depend on me and which do not; what is within my power and what is not, how to realize this desire, and understand what exactly I need from it.
If I have conducted a correct analysis and clarified my state, I should ultimately conclude that a desire has been revealed in me in its natural form. But I, in turn, must connect this desire to the Creator. That is precisely what our job is.
Because I connect my desire to the Creator, the right intention descends upon it, and now I can use this desire correctly. I combine desire and intention, and thus complete the work.
The Creator endowed me with a desire, I gave this desire an intention, and now we are interacting, adhering to, and connecting with Him. That is all.
Question: Simply put, should I connect every desire to the Creator?
Answer: If you knew exactly what your desire is, if you knew who the Creator is, what His properties are, and could connect your desire to Him, then there would be no problem. However, first you must ascertain who the Creator is, what it means to attach desires to Him, that is, the inner meaning of this action.
It is not enough to realize that desire comes from the Creator. We must also investigate and analyze this desire: why it was given to me, what I want from it, and what the Creator wants, etc. As a result, through this analytical chain, my intention becomes clear—my attitude toward what I received from Him.

Question: What does the process of acquiring a Kli mean?
Answer: Acquiring a Kli is the process in which you determine the correct attitude toward spirituality: how I imagine it to myself, how I am tuned to the spiritual wavelength, how ready I am to disconnect from this world in order to fully devote myself to spirituality.
This is what is called “building a Kli for spirituality.” A Kli is a desire.
Question: So we must fight with every new obstacle?
Answer: No, we cannot fight with every obstacle. If now I am in a state of despair, how can I rejoice? I cannot. Well, I can if I force myself, for example, to dance. However, this will produce only a short-term effect. Therefore, true advancement can only be through the group. Working in it, I acquire and attach additional Kelim to myself.
Question: So when the next obstacle manifests, must I tell myself that this manifestation of force from above is an angel?
Answer: It is desirable to imagine that it is an angel hindering you, and not you yourself. Then we will be able to force ourselves to work against this foreign force. Later, we will still forget about it. After all, this angel is smarter than us, it confuses us, and we simply forget. In the end, nothing will remain for you except working in the group. Listen! That is exactly how it will be!
Question: But what if this state lasts for an unlimited time?
Answer: Imagine the best state in which you would like to be, and work for the group so that it also wishes this. Very simple. There is no need to be too smart!
Question: But why can a person not go through all these states?
Answer: Because these states are him. He cannot overcome himself. For this, he needs a force from outside that will change him. And the force from outside can be either the Creator or the group. The group is the Creator, but only this force is in our dimension.

Question: Do Kabbalists observe the commandment “Honor your father and your mother?”
Answer: Kabbalah confers a person an extremely special status. It teaches him to stand before the Creator. There is a Creator, and there is a creation. Apart from these two elements, there is really nothing; everything is included inside the person.
A single person stands before a single Creator. And all these definitions—father, parents, friends, neighbors, wife, children, country, universe, worlds—are all inside a person connected to the Creator.
Therefore, when we talk about inner work, we do not mean biological bodies, even the parents who gave you life, or relatives, friends, etc. Only according to the spirit, only according to connection with the Creator, are connections formed with the rest of creation. We no longer look at bodies but at inner definitions (Avhanot) in terms of spirituality.
For example, “father” and “mother” (Aba ve Ima) are the upper Partzufim (spiritual bodies). As it is written, “And a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife.” in spiritual terms, this means the revelation of a new Hisaron (deficiencies). With this Hisaron, a person turns to the Creator.

Question: Please tell me, what is our life?
Answer: Our life is a form of existence of protein-based matter.
Question: But still…?
Answer: Still, from this life, we take its Reshimot (spiritual records), memories, and impressions and continue. A huge number of tiny grains of egoism, meaning corrupted desires created by the Creator, gradually go through purification, correction, and connection.
Comment: So, these small egoisms (7 to 8 billion of them) live their lives precisely in order to come to this, as you say.
My Response: Hell, purgatory, and paradise. Like in Dante’s works.
Hell is the feeling and realization of one’s egoism, of one’s lowly nature, and everything that can be said about it. Purgatory is when a person tries to correct it, to cleanse it. And paradise is when a person puts this egoism at the service of other people.
These are the three stages we must go through.
Question: So a person throughout his lives moves toward this final third stage?
Answer: Yes, and therefore, if people understand what these three stages are—hell, purgatory, and paradise—meaning, attainment of awareness of one’s egoism, its correction, and its proper use, then everything is fine. We must try.

Question: How should a person prepare and direct themselves during prayer?
Answer: In the Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot (TES), Baal HaSulam writes that during prayer, a person should focus on only one thing—to desire that what he studies in the Kabbalistic books be revealed within him, to strive to know and connect with the material being studied.
But if the subject is so distant that a person cannot see how it relates to what is taking place in his soul, then he should regard it as a remedy.
As it is written: “I have created the evil inclination, I have created the Torah as a spice.” And it is also said it: “Heals every illness.” It will give me what is necessary for my advancement; it will come as a remedy, as help from Above.
Question: How can one avoid forgetting this during the lessons?
Answer: If you suffer from an illness, you do not forget about it. Sometimes cancer patients come to see me; they do not forget their illness for a single moment. They are ready to follow any instruction from morning to evening in order to be healed. Without a doubt, they are willing, and they do not forget.
Therefore, everything depends on the recognition of the importance of the goal and the degree of pain. And the importance comes, once again, from the group. Only the group can increase the importance of the goal, the importance of spirituality, within you.
