Question: If I experienced a descent due to some corporeal cause and was able to use that descent for a spiritual ascent, but the corporeal problem did not go away, how should I relate to it?

Answer: You should not worry about that; rather, be concerned about how to move forward on your spiritual path.

Question: How can we help a friend who is in a descent and for whom corporeality is more important than spirituality?

Answer: We study this all the time. You can even read nothing else besides the materials from our congress.

Most of the lessons are about how we unite and thereby pull each other out of the darkness into the light. That is all there is to it.

Question: How can we express our gratitude daily to both the teacher and the friends in a way that strengthens the unity between us?

Answer: You should show an example of drawing closer to the group that attended the morning lesson as the leading group. In this way you will always control the advancement.

Question: What is the best way for us to picture the next spiritual degree we must rise to?

Answer: The next spiritual degree is built on the fact that today you annul yourself more than you did yesterday.

That is how you allow the upper light, the Creator, to move you forward.

Question: How can I pray correctly for the collective and ask the Creator for them if my heart only wants to pray for myself?

Answer: Try to think in a way that you genuinely want to ask for the collective, for the group, for those close to you, and for your friends. It all depends on how much you think about this.

Question: When I see a discrepancy in every point and ask for correction, but I ask for myself, how can I make that prayer for the collective?

Answer: Add the words that you are praying for everyone to it.

Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 137

What Is the Concept of “The World of Atzilut” in Our Work?

We perform various scrutinies regarding the purpose of creation and our relationship with the Creator. We try to integrate the many disturbances we encounter into “There is none else besides Him.” This is the work: against all kinds of disturbances sent by the Creator, we must return to the awareness that “There is none else besides Him.” Everything is sent from above so we will connect to the Creator.

However, from this work, we still see no benefit. We struggle to act, but cannot. We constantly battle internally, encounter various screams and blows, become disappointed and exhausted, and disturbances keep coming.

After we complete a certain portion of this work, an illumination comes from above. We receive help to connect to the idea of “There is none else besides Him” above all of our efforts. This is called the matter of “the world of Atzilut,” where there are no disturbances. “All judgments are removed from it.” The judgments descend from under us. Our heart and mind become clean, and for a few moments, we can adhere to “He and His Name are One.” This is called “Atzilut.”

This feeling spreads within us, and we realize ourselves through it with all of our prior efforts, after gathering all discernments into one, over all disturbances. It is not yet the end of correction, but it is a state toward it.

Question: How can we connect with other tens if each ten is a whole world in itself?

Answer: That is not your concern. Everything is done by the Creator: He lowers and raises the tens in relation to one another.

He has far more data about each group and combines them according to a specific path. Therefore, don’t pay attention to how or where we are.

Ask, you are obligated to ask.

Question: How can we understand that a friend is in a state of descent?

Answer: The most important thing is to constantly think about how you wish for the upper force to unite all the friends, bring them closer, connect them, and pull them upward.

That is what we must do. We must think about good deeds.

Question: How should I correctly annul myself before a friend in the ten?

Answer: It is certainly not easy, but essentially, it is the state we must reach.

Question: So should I accept the friend’s opinion instead of my own?

Answer: No, you should accept the friend’s opinion as the state you yourself want to reach.

Question: Is that called annulment?

Answer: You will see.

Question: For you, does God exist?

Answer: There is a Creator for me. It is the one who created everything, including you, and wants you to fulfill your purpose.

Question: What is it?

Answer: Your purpose is to reach His level, to become similar to Him. That is why a person is called “Adam” from the word “Domeh” – “similar” to the Creator.

Question: Then again, similar to what?

Answer: To the Creator.

Question: And what does that mean? What is that quality?

Answer: It is the quality of bestowal, the quality of creation, the quality of governing all the worlds. This is the state a person must attain.

Question: Anyone in our world?

Answer: Absolutely everyone!

Comment: It is mind-boggling!

My Response: But you will come to it, whether you want to or not.

Baal HaSulam was a scholar engaged in pure science. He wrote in a high academic style. And my teacher Rabash is very close to us. He holds us in his arms and shows us, “This is how you should walk. This is exactly why you are experiencing such and such states.” He constantly guides you like a small child, helps, feeds, swaddles, does everything to raise you.

Rabash, in essence, created a Kabbalistic encyclopedia of inner spiritual work. He revealed all the states we have to go through in his articles. Therefore, if a person studies them all the time, he has no problems.

While working on an abridged version of these articles and going through them over and over again, I see how much it is like baby food, without which a child would not survive. A person cannot receive the nourishment of Kabbalah that Baal HaSulam actually gives one. Baal HaSulam pours such a light on him, it is like he places a steak in front of an infant.

But Rabash does not.  He turns all this into porridge, into boiled vegetables, into milk, which can be consumed in the proper portions. He was able to do it amazingly! And in such a style, in such a form, it is impossible to describe!

I remember how he wrote, every day a little bit, a little more, a little more, and by the end of the week the article would come out. He would hand it to me, and I would make copies and distribute it to the students. And for the entire following week we would read it, until a new article came out. And then the same thing again. In other words, it was a systematic, internal, spiritual work of mastering the spiritual space.
