International Kabbalah Convention “Life In The Ten,” Day One – 1/27/24
Posted on January 27th, 2024
Question: When we are in a state of ascent, especially at a convention, we unite and feel pleasure from the light of the Creator.
If we do not make further efforts, but remain in a state of enjoyment, will we sooner or later fall?
Answer: Yes, as soon as you lose movement between yourself and forward toward the Creator, you immediately lose your state and fall back into sole egoism.
Question: If at the moment of the fall we begin to act with the help of the group and the sources, then we rise again?
Answer: Yes, but you cannot use it at the convention, there is no time, it is not the right state. At a Kabbalah convention, you should just feel each other and thus not lose your heart.

Question: When our international group gathers together, do you somehow feel its common desire differently?
Answer: Yes. It is stronger and broader. It comes with greater necessity. It is more vivid and explicit.
People come from all corners of the world with very serious intentions, very serious desires. Their presence here strongly influences everyone. In essence, they evoke the primary desire that I work on.
These periods when all groups come together for congresses are the most powerful. And then, when we collectively enter the sensation of the upper world, meaning, we create above us a spiritual sensor with our common desires, we practically don’t even need to communicate with each other.
I remember traveling with Rabash to several Kabbalists he communicated with, and I would ask him, “So, did he reveal himself?” Rabash would reply, “No, he didn’t want to reveal himself. Although we talked to him, he internally closed himself off so much that I can’t say anything about him.”
Such a thing exists among Kabbalists. We have yet to come to that. The stages, the development, we are going through, have had no analogues in the world. And today, the whole world is returning to the perception of eternity and perfection, as we were at the beginning of our origin.
Therefore, to say that everything happening in the world now is analogous to what happened with Kabbalists throughout history, we cannot. Today, a completely new system is emerging—a true one! The Kabbalists of the past prepared everything for us.

Question: The Creator gave me the opportunity to see how egoistic I am, how much my heart is still closed and not willing to let anyone in, and the fact that I used to think of myself as kind and sweet was an illusion.
Such opportunities to see your true self are not revealed every day. Does it depend on me or on the Creator?
Answer: It depends on you. The Creator will not give you new feelings if you do not strive to be connected to others in an utmost heartfelt kind of connection, connected by the heart’s desire.

Question: I have a feeling that the Creator created our group for something great. I cannot do anything about it; my desire is to correct the world. But it seems egoistic. Do I have the right to such a desire?
Answer: Of course you have the right. Any desire that exists in a person is from the Creator, and then a person has to think about how and what to do with this desire in order to come closer to the Creator.

People who come to the congress first of all invest in themselves. This is the only real contribution! Everything else burns out.
They come, pay, and are ready to participate in everything because they feel that everything else is worthless!
I remember when I started studying Kabbalah, I was told: “What are you doing? You are 30 years old! First, take a walk, earn money, and travel around the world! You have not been anywhere yet! Why are you burying yourself? And when you are close to 60, closer to retirement, you will start studying the future of the world.” I heard it often from people. “So young…” That’s it. What will you do?
Question: How does the accumulation process work? How does a person invest himself?
Answer: As a shareholder, one invests in a common sensor, and it becomes a part of him or her.
This is really a contribution to the most reliable bank! This is not Bank of America, but an eternal, perfect bank! How much effort you put into it, it is all yours!

Question: From the past state of connection and ascent, the state of burdening has come. How can we reignite our hearts and rise even higher?
Answer: We must understand that the state of descent is not really a descent, but an acquisition of new desires that were not revealed to you before. Therefore, you should be happy about this state because it indicates a future ascent, and you should connect with each other.
You need to develop a feeling between you that you are in a special state, constantly support each other, and come up with new actions and new opportunities.
It should be interesting for you to be together. You should have fun together. You should feel that by coming together, you are rising to the next degree and that the Creator is with you.

Question: If a friend has distanced himself from the ten, what efforts can we make to awaken his heart?
Answer: Just pray. At the same time, you must show that you are connected with each other and helping each other so that he sees the ten in a state of correction.
We need to continue to pray for all those who have left us because ultimately they must come back and correct themselves.
Question: What does it mean to see my corrections?
Answer: To see my corrections means that I begin to treat my friends in the ten like family.

The soul is a person’s inner desire. And if we want to help each other, then we connect, get closer and imbued with each other’s desires, and become as one person.
The Creator shattered the desire He created into pieces in order to give us the opportunity to feel how much we lack connection, to connect, and thus achieve 620 times greater connection than was originally there.
With our correction, we add to the system of Adam HaRishon all its force, all its height. This common soul was born very small; it had no internal volume. But due to the fact that the Creator broke the soul He created and shattered its inner power and distanced its parts from each other, He gives us the opportunity to grow.
Each of us is a piece of the broken soul. If we unite back into one soul, then to this connection we add the force of separation above which we have risen. Therefore, it is said that the power of the soul has grown 620 times. Thus, if we join together and build a single system, we grow to the height of the Creator.
Through connection we attain ever higher spiritual states. After all, we combine everyone’s desires to bestow that were received from the Creator, and then the upper force is clothed in us, and reveals itself many times more than at the beginning of creation.
We attain the Creator in an ever more genuine, inner form. Thanks to our correction, all parts of the upper worlds are increasingly connected and bind into one whole, which allows us to attain them in the full measure.
The purpose of creation is to unite all the upper worlds so that there is no difference between them, and they all turn into one world—the world of Keter.

Question: We must correct our corrupt properties. For example, I feel pride, envy, fear, and feel corrupt. At the same time, when we study The Study of the Ten Sefirot or Rabash’s articles in the group, we feel the unification and the strength of the group. How can I combine the request to the Creator and the work in my group?
Answer: Constantly ask the Creator for connection with the friends, for the correction of this connection, and to yearn to positively influence the friends. This is what we have to do.
As a result, we will see that we are getting closer to each other. By getting closer we mean our understanding that only through our common properties and connections can we convince the Creator to correct us. It is very important.
It is important to know that by connecting together in the ten we can convince the Creator to correct us.
