Question: How can one stimulate oneself to greater advancement? Can the goal become the main and only stimulus?

Answer: It can. It depends only on the environment. The group has to constantly deliver to you the greatness of the goal and create a sensation that this goal is the most important. You have the necessary minimum, it is enough. The rest is only in the inner growth, in the relations within the group.

Let’s quickly turn to the Creator through the ten and compel Him to help us so He would reveal Himself inside the ten. We can do this.

Comment: But so much has been done in this world: so many laws have been discovered, so many heroic acts.

My Response: People did not do all these things, the Creator did. He pushed them to sufferings and to heroic acts, and to crimes. This is why it is called “the work of the Creator” (Avodat HaShem).

Our movement forward is His work too; it is work of the light upon desire. The desire itself is absolutely motionless. It can move only to the extent to which it feels the shining of pleasures or the push of sufferings. This is the property of our world, of our matter.

Therefore, it does not make sense to ascribe special action to a person that he would not be able to do by himself. Even people with a high inner sensitivity will say that one person is built this way, while another one in a different way. A fortune teller can predict our future.

In other words, there is nothing that depends on a person except for one thing, his own aspiration to the Creator with entering such an environment that would advance me to the Creator faster than He attracts me.

This is the essence of the freedom of will. I really hope that we will realize it.
