Incorporate into the Group

938.03Question: If a person excludes himself from the global spiritual process, does everything pass by for him?

Answer: It depends on luck, on the quality of the soul. Some souls develop slower, some quickly.

The man himself who has a soul does not know what kind of soul he has. He should just make every effort, and then whatever happens. Otherwise, he will not have freewill.

Question: So is it impossible to give a person a practical recommendation to get incorporated into the process?

Answer: Just get incorporated! He has a group and needs to glue himself into it, fall, dissolve into it, absorb as much as possible everything they do, think, say, absorb it into himself like a baby.

Questions about Spiritual Work—140

281.02Question: Let us say I have an exciting question that I cannot find an answer to. What do I need to do: write on a piece of paper, turn to the inner teacher, or tune in to the fact that I will hear the answer through my friends, through the sources, through the lesson, through you?

Answer: We need to write and talk to our friends. Then, our inner state will change, and we will be able to understand ourselves more.

Question: How can I strengthen myself in direct connection with the Creator?

Answer: Exactly the way you want it to be. Think so, do so, say so, and ask.

Question: We have two places where we get energy from. That is an ordinary place where we live, and energy comes to us from the environment, loved ones, and even partially from the group. And there is an upper place where we turn to the Creator, do some actions through the ten, and receive energy from the Creator. Does it mean that protecting ourselves from the influence of the environment is to empty the lower part and receive energy only from our actions of bestowal?

Answer: No, keep asking, and you will see from practice how much will be distributed to your desires.

Question: Is it possible to eventually come to a state where we independently keep the restriction and decide for ourselves what not to receive, even if the Creator wants to give it us, but we live only from the action of bestowal?

Answer: Yes, this is also possible.

Become the Master of Your States

600.02Question: You said that we need to aspire silently to be with everyone in one desire: “I want to be with everyone in one desire.” This “I” confuses me a lot. After all, it should eventually disappear, right?

Answer: But over whom are you the master if not yourself?

Comment: I am not really a master!

My Response: Exactly, you are not a master, and that is why you should do everything to become the master of your state. You can make it so that the upper light begins to act on you and connect you with others.

Question: Does the light act on me or on the friends? After all, I should think about the friends…

Answer: It does not matter what you think about the friends. By thinking about them, you change yourself.

Question: So is the correct direction that I want to unite the friends and bring them to unity, to the Creator?

Answer: But you have to perform these actions on yourself. Then the connection will happen.

Comment: I want our work to be immensely beneficial for everyone.

My Response: To achieve this, you need to bring the entire system into order.

The Need for the Upper Force

935When we unite in groups at the level of our world, we usually evoke only negative forces, like a man and a woman who initially form a union but then encounter various problems because each of them is an egoist. Therefore, in striving to unite, we must understand that we are doing this to feel the need for the upper force. This is possible only when great egoism arises between us, a desire to distance ourselves from each other and dominate others. If a group truly aims for connection, very serious centrifugal forces can emerge that tear it apart.

This is the most important thing that can manifest in people. If they understand this, they rejoice at the evil forces revealed between them. Then it becomes simple arithmetic.

To the extent that they discover evil forces between them, they must constantly clarify that they are revealing them and are glad of it. They specifically engage in connection because, during the process of drawing closer, one increasingly reveals the evil forces that repel them from others. It is this very evil that forces us to turn to the good, to the upper force, to the Creator, who can balance and unite us. This is the method of revealing the Creator.

In reality, it is not that complicated. We just need to constantly monitor ourselves and manage what is happening with our mind and heart. We unite in a group as the Kabbalists advise us because it is in this style of unity, which we aim to achieve, that we will reveal the impossibility of uniting and thus understand the need for the upper force, the Creator.

What Is a Group?

938.04Question: When can a gathering of people be called a group that is working correctly?

Answer: A gathering of people is called a group when they have a common goal and understand how they should connect and according to what system. This means it is already a group studying Kabbalah. They have a leader and individuals responsible for ensuring that they meet, study, and participate in various activities.

In other words, a group is not just a bunch of people who got together in a bar or at a stadium. It is a serious assembly of people ready to connect to reveal the Creator between them despite their nature.

The Teacher’s Pain

165Question: Every day for many years you have been awakening the hearts of your students. What do you feel when you see that the students you love do not have the importance of the lesson? What do you feel when you see they are absent?

Answer: I feel that I have not done enough.

Question: Does it hurt you?

Answer: On one hand, yes. But on the other hand, I understand that this is what is called the pain of raising children.

Question: What do you do with this pain?

Answer: I continue to work on you.

Question: In Letter 24, Rabash writes from the position of a teacher regarding students, not from the perspective of working between friends. How should we apply this? After all, friends do not see me as a teacher.

Answer: It does not matter. Act the same way.

Signs of Spiritual Maturation

549.02Question: How can we properly connect to a common network of connections without harming the overall process?

Answer: A person cannot harm the general system because we are all under the influence of the upper governance. Therefore, although it may seem to one or others that he is bringing harm, in fact, it is not so. This is absolutely not true. No one can harm advancement.

In some groups in different countries and on different continents, all sorts of problems may arise in the spiritual growth of friends, but in general, they bring no harm. They help you figure out what is going on and to correct it.

If a person was in a group and then left, and even if the group breaks up as a result, it is okay. This means they are going through an internal maturation period.

The Need for the System of Mutual Guarantee

929The law of mutual guarantee is the law of life, the law of existence, the law of development. At every level where nature wishes to create something that exists, it creates its individual parts and compels them to coexist according to the law of mutual guarantee, which originates from nature itself.

In our world, we observe this at the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels. Man is the connection of people with each other, not each of us, but all people above our natural egoism. When we, as individual particles, are ready to connect to create a correct society, we are called “Adam” meaning “similar to the Creator.”

Therefore, the system of mutual guarantee is crucial in our time. We see humanity becoming increasingly confused, unable to find itself, and practically writhing in convulsions. Although everyone understands that connection is necessary, they also understand that it is impossible due to our egoistic nature.

The wisdom of Kabbalah comes to our aid and explains that we have no choice but to unite; otherwise, things will only get worse. On one hand, we increasingly need each other and cannot escape this planet to distance ourselves from each other. On the other hand, we must connect. The method of connection is inherent in nature itself and is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, which teaches us how to correctly receive all kinds of fulfillment from each other.
