Question: What role does the group play when we go through different states?

Answer: We need the group for several reasons. Actually, there is only one reason, but since the Creator is still hidden from us, this reason is divided into several sub-reasons in relation to me. At first, I feel the group reminds me of the importance of spiritual work. Its influence helps me get back on track with my work. Without a group, I lose the correct direction.

All this is just at the beginning of the path. As I progress, I begin to see the group as a part of my soul. The spiritual construction is designed in such a way that there is a part of my soul in each person, and ultimately, I must unite with each of them. I do not know how yet, but I will have to do it somehow.

We are taught that all this is arranged as a pyramid. I have to unite with everyone, but not in the same measure. I connect with some souls on the inanimate level (Domem), with others on the vegetative level (Tzmeach), and with others on the living level (Chai). In other words, I unite with all the parts of Adam HaRishon‘s common soul, but with each on a different level of unity.

Ultimately, I need friends around me who I can work with as one Kli (vessel). They and I will function as organs of one body, one Kli. That is how we must work. Indeed, we see the most advanced and effective designs in our world are based on this method.

A person alone simply cannot advance. All he can do is somehow come to realize, over millennia, that he cannot break into spirituality alone. Anyone who flees from society is completely hopeless.
