Faith can only be found within a group. After all, the force of faith is based on the unification of at least two people. And therefore the loss of faith distances us from the group.

It is necessary to understand that we do not and cannot have any personal contact with the Creator. Contact is possible only from a common vessel, a spiritual Partzuf consisting of ten Sefirot. Only then will we begin to feel the upper force.

It is not necessary to gather exactly ten people to reach ten Sefirot; there may be fewer. But impressions from nine different properties must accumulate in me in addition to what I myself feel. And if I do not distinguish these nine additional properties, then I will not see the Creator.

It is like a sight that helps to focus on a target. My eye and all the points of sight must coincide. And if I tune myself to my friends, then I will see what is at the end of the sight, the final goal.

Thus, maintaining a connection with the Creator in faith and bestowal is possible only through the group. Otherwise we cannot feel Him. The Creator constantly disappears, and I have no way to feel Him unless I properly attune myself within the group.

I strive to connect more and more deeply with my nine friends, and when we finally achieve a perfect alignment with one another, a moment occurs, a “click,” where light manifests and I perceive the Creator. The Kelim, the desires of my friends, begin to shine, all nine in relation to me, Malchut.

There is no other way. All clarifications, adjustments of the spiritual vessel, and the formation of a relationship with the Creator occur only among us. As it is said, “From love of others, one comes to love of the Creator.”

No action directly leads to love of the Creator. It is possible only through love for others. When all actions aimed at loving others accumulate and this love becomes complete, it is then called love for the Creator.
