Question: How can one guide their point in the heart through the group, which functions as a spiritual amplifier?

Answer: There are external means that we use: books, the group, the teacher, our system of study and global connection. These conditions were established for us by the Kabbalists.

If we put them into practice, build an external framework for ourselves, and insert our desire for spirituality into this system, then the desire begins to grow.

Initially I have only my one point in the heart, and I pass it to my friends and receive from them all their points in the heart! This network of connection between us, between souls, already exists.

Everything was prepared in advance during the descent of the worlds from above downward for our ascent from this world to the world of infinity.

I only need to be able to enter into this system, lower myself, see everyone else as corrected, and desire to receive the light of correction through them.

Then I will receive from the others their desires for bestowal, which will expand my own desire.
However, at the beginning I had only a small point in the heart, and even that was unclear in its direction.

I invested it into the group, I wanted to enter it; that is, I performed an act of bestowal! And in return I received from the others a genuine force, a true desire to bestow!

Suddenly you see that you really want it and value it. And then fear comes. Will I be able to reach bestowal to the Creator or will I end my life without achieving it?

These are still egoistic thoughts, but they already revolve around how to reach bestowal! This is called Lo Lishma: a) striving to bestow and b) thinking about the benefit.

So through the group you receive a more internal direction toward the Creator.

When you aim yourself toward the Creator, you draw closer to faith, you begin to attract another surrounding light. It is not that the light has changed; you have changed, and therefore the light affects you differently. Now it can give you the quality of bestowal.

And when you acquire the quality of bestowal, you begin to rise above your egoism. This is what you wanted to achieve from the very beginning, but now the light has arranged it so that it comes not through coercion, but by your own desire.

Suddenly you feel how the quality of faith fills you, that is, the quality of bestowal, since faith is bestowal, Bina.

It gives you freedom from your ego! And it is not that it completely frees you from egoism, but it gives you the strength to rise above it. It is already above the Machsom.
