Feel like a Single Body

942Question: I want all of us to connect in one heart, bring contentment to the Creator, and reveal Him. How do you feel about it?

Answer: Everyone should imagine themselves being the last of our entire group. Everyone should help others and see others above themselves. Everyone should be sure they are moving forward on the path to the Creator.

As a result, we should feel like a single body during the convention. Then we will be successful.

Intangible Connection

258It is written about Abraham, “Walk before Me, and be wholehearted.” RASHI interprets that he does not need support. About Noah, it is written, “Noah walked with God,” that he needed support (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 214, “Known in the Gates”).

Question: From the article it follows that Abraham did not need support, but Noah did.
What is the message of the Creator for our generation on the eve of the convention? What do we need now?

Answer: We need support and an explanation of what we must do, how to unite, what to desire, and what stage of our connection to reach between us.

Question: Does it mean that our generation should make more of our own efforts?

Answer: Partly, yes. On the other hand, since we are in a generation far from Abraham, we still must understand that we have a specific condition. Overall, a good condition. We are very close to the Creator, although we do not yet feel how He treats us and how we influence Him. But still, these conditions exist.

Question: Are we reaching the level of partnership with the Creator now?

Answer: We feel a connection with the Creator, but it is not yet tangible.

The Whole Path Is Open to Us

525The articles of Rabash contain the entire Torah. He takes it from the highest level and lowers it to our level so that we receive it in the most suitable form, which helps us grow and internally organize ourselves to achieve higher levels. Therefore, Rabash’s articles are the highest source for internal work.

The main thing is to try to penetrate them with your heart, not your head. Open your heart and strive to feel the Creator, and only then begin some movements inside the heart to find an even closer alignment with the Creator.

How can we bring our hearts closer to Rabash? Only by connecting with the hearts of our friends and opening our hearts. There is no other way.

In a few days, we will gather for a congress, which is entirely based on Rabash’s articles and is called “Life in the Ten.” I am very excited and look forward to this congress with great trepidation because the Creator has given us everything we need. Everything depends on whether we can realize what we have received, and our putting all our strength into it.

The whole path is open to us. We can now take off to the goal and reveal all the components we need to collect and attach to ourselves along the way. The main thing is to be highly concentrated. I truly hope this happens to us.

Aim for the Ultimate Goal

938.03The process when a ten becomes one single whole is a gradual process of gathering people into tens, then tens, tens as units, into hundreds, and so on. This is how the spiritual pyramid is built, and thus we come to “one man.”

Question: How can we go through this process at the convention?

Answer: We will not be able to go through this process yet. Now we have to think only about our tens and how to connect them to such an extent that we feel what is before us. This is not the ultimate goal. It is still very elusive for us, but we need to know about it, think about it, and talk about it.

Enter the Common Heart

929Question: What single thought, feeling, or aspiration must one hold in order to enter this convention and stay in it? What kind of thought and feeling will make it possible to enter the common heart and to open one’s heart?

Answer: Create all the conditions so that you can be together in one heart, and then your heart will feel the Creator and begin to communicate with Him.

The main condition is to feel each other and yearn to be in one heart.

Question: How can one be awarded the quality of giver of the Torah?

Answer: In order to be awarded this quality, first we need to come closer to each other, to unite, and make sure that we all feel our ten. Each one should ask for everyone else and turn to the Creator with the request to lead us forward.

Preserve and Increase

938.03Question: We felt the importance and activation of all forces at the convention. What would you recommend to keep our thought, concentration, and focus turned on?

Answer: We constantly talk about the importance of helping each other. Without mutual help between friends, we will not be able to connect into one whole, and the Creator will not treat us as a complete Kli.

Question: We have the impression that the state of an open heart and love between us has been revealed in a new, reverent sensation. How can we preserve this feeling in order to keep spirituality in everyday life?

Answer: To do this, it is necessary to not only preserve, but also increase this feeling. If you want to keep some kind of state, you need to use it and maintain it.

Taking Care of the Friends

528.01Question: How can I lift a friend’s spirit if I myself am in a descent?

Answer: You should come to the lessons and meetings in order to lift your and everyone else’s spirits, and do not fall onto the group without preparation, with your negative mood.

Question: What should we do when a friend has a problem and we feel it, but he does not ask for help from the group?

Answer: We must, without naming names, perform actions that will help everyone to gather together, connect, and correctly aim ourselves at the Creator.

As a result, we will get what we are yearning for—the next, spiritual, degree.

Every Day Should Be as New in Your Eyes

291Each day we must give to the Creator everything that he has been through, whether Mitzvot or transgressions, and begin anew (Rabash, Letter No. 29).

Question: While working in the ten and in the group, very often we take inspiration from past conventions. What does the article mean when it says: Give to the Creator everything that we have been through whether Mitzvot or transgressions and begin anew?

Answer: Every day, we must start with a clean slate, as it is written: “Each day, they will be as new in your eyes.” In this way we start every day with a clean slate; based on yesterday’s and past achievements, I do today’s work much better.

Question: But Rabash writes to forget the past. What should I forget?

Answer: You are not interested in what happened. You take only the work you can do and the data you have today.

Question: What can I take from yesterday?

Answer: You are already taking everything you have from yesterday. But the most important thing is that you do not want to repeat yesterday, every day should be as new in your eyes.

Ask the Creator to Help Us

938.01Question: You often say that the minimum number is two. And yet, how can the little tens be sure at this convention that they will receive support, that they are like a full-fledged Kli?

Answer: This is what the convention is organized for, so that all the small groups come together and form one big Kli. Therefore there is no need to worry that there are groups of three or four people. It does not matter; we unite together into one Kli and turn from it to the Creator.

There are several thousand of us, and therefore small groups are included in all the others.

Question: In spirituality does each of us have one’s own work and no one else will do my work for me?

Answer: We each have our own and at the same time joint work. Therefore no one will do either one of the jobs for us. Our job is to ask the Creator to help us. This is the most important thing.

The Long-Sought Meeting

939.01The essence of the assembly is for everyone to be in one unity and for all to seek but one purpose: to find the Creator (Maor VaShemesh, VaYechi).

Question: We will have many different actions at the convention. How exactly do we hold on to being in unity and “finding the Creator“?

Answer: We have no other goal. We want to connect with each other, discover the Creator, and come closer to Him.

He, for His part, will influence us and help us unite and reveal Him. This is how we will meet.

The most important thing for us is the Creator. He is between us, fills us, raises us, connects us, and leads us to complete correction where we adhere with Him.
