Question: If I am in a state of powerlessness, despair, fatigue and I see a friend who is in a similar situation, how will this help me?

Answer: I can influence his fatigue and weakness; I can awaken and inspire him. I am capable of this, even if it is a game. You cannot influence yourself, but you can influence a friend.

There are people in the group who constantly encourage everyone. They shout: “Come on! Move it!” This quality is very useful within the group. One can jokingly compare such a person to an army warrant officer, someone who leaves an impression on you.

Our egoism has all the necessary attributes to influence others from a specifically egoistic side. And then this returns to me, and affects me. What I am unable to bring about within myself becomes possible through egoism. This is a special opportunity. You cannot simply influence yourself directly; it happens only through an external selective influence, provided you have control over these actions.

This is a truly unique phenomenon. It is precisely for this reason that the breaking of the Kelim occurred. After all, you acquire Avсhanot (inner definitions) between yourself and those around you. There are 600,000 souls, and at the boundaries between them, that is, at the edges between these cells, you find new definitions from which your spiritual body called Adam (man) is built.

It is not built from the souls themselves, but from the inner definitions that you receive through uniting with them. The connection itself occurs at the boundaries between the souls.

This can be explained as follows: I do not receive pleasure when I am very hungry or when I am already full. I feel pleasure in the middle of the process, when I am hungry from within, but on my tongue I feel the taste of food, that is, at the boundary between light and darkness. All inner definitions are acquired in the process of fulfilling the desire.

Therefore the division and unification of the parts of souls in this form builds a new Kli that the Creator did not originally create. You gather all the attributes obtained in the process of connecting with the other parts of the collective soul. From this, a new Kli is formed that previously did not exist. This new Kli is based on the shared facets of the souls in their connection with each other.
