Request for Love

239Question: The Creator does not give charity (alms), He gives a gift. How and what should we ask for?

Answer: I cannot advise you about what to ask. It should come from the heart. But, between us, there is nothing more to ask from the Creator except love. He gives us everything, and love only upon request.

Unity Ball

938.03At the convention you need to try to feel love for each other without paying attention to a person’s external qualities. The main thing is that everyone has this special quality of being chosen by the Creator to participate in our world group. That is why I agree with the Creator and am ready to be with these friends. I constantly try to get closer to them.

Multiple connections happen here: the merging of each one of us with a friend, the merging with the ten and through our ten with other tens, and in general with everyone together so that there is a combination of all our qualities and desires. It turns out that there is our common Kli, a common desire with common feelings, and it is even impossible to make out where I am, where you are, and where he or she is.

Everything weaves together into one tangle and merges into one ball where we see only a single force that created us, united us, and brought us to it. And within this force we unite all together without any distinction between us. This is the unification of creation with the Creator.

Feel the Same as a Friend

530Question: How do we understand what we really invest into each other as much as we can? How can we increase our sensitivity to the other in order to feel what he or she needs at this very moment?

Answer: It depends on your attitude toward him or her. You have to put yourself in his place, make sure that you feel him. In this way, you will gradually reach a state where you will feel the same as he does.

Who Will Help if not the Friends

934There is one main question: How can a person help himself get out of a descent? In fact, a trusted remedy that saves us in the most difficult conditions is the help of a friend. The friend is at the same degree, the same level, and in the same nature as me.

And if I am not able to save myself and rise from the state of falling, then I can do it with the help of a friend. When a friend connects with me, he can add strength, energy, and awakening to me, and thus save me.

Therefore, if we want to advance and climb the spiritual steps higher and higher, then we have the only means, which are to look for friends so that together with them, by helping each other, we can ascend into the spiritual.

There is no one to expect help from, except friends. The main thing is to support each other and hope that friends will help. In fact, the whole system is built in such a way that we must unite and move forward together. Therefore we have no other option but to help one another. We will all unite, and the greater the connection, the greater the ascent, the higher and higher we rise toward the goal of creation.
It turns out that it is possible to climb the spiritual ladder only to the extent that we unite and help each other.

It is necessary to understand that by helping a friend, I am actually helping myself. By wanting to give strength to a friend, to help him climb his spiritual degrees, I raise myself up. With the help of “they helped every one his friend,” we can rise higher and higher.

Once the final goal is reached, everyone connects with everyone, and everyone incorporates into a friend and a friend into him, and we all turn into a system similar to the first man, Adam HaRishon. But the power of this system, this Adam, becomes 620 times greater than what it was before.

Due to the fact that the Creator created this system and then broke us, He gave us the opportunity to connect above our egoism. And when we overcome our separation, our egoism, we raise ourselves to the peak of human existence 620 times higher than the one we had at the beginning of creation.

Therefore the more we connect and interconnect with each other, starting with a ten and then wider and wider, we get much closer to the final correction and eventually we will achieve it.

Open Your Heart to Love the World

504Each of us lacks only one thing—to try to open his heart. If a person opens his heart, in comes love of friends, which is the root of the love of the Creator. That is, love of the Creator is established in him, and he begins to feel the upper force.

Love of friends is a necessary condition; it is the stream through which love of the Creator flows, absolute love. It solves all problems and connects all hearts. And then a person begins to feel what is really happening in the world.

A person realizes that there is no material world but only absolute love called love of the world that embraces him from all sides. And in the light of this love, he reveals the whole reality, the whole universe from one end to another.

Efficient Work

939.02Question: If I have caught the feeling of dissolving into my friends, how can I work effectively with this in order for everyone to advance?

Answer: When we unite with our friends in one ten and then in tens, in hundreds, and in thousands, the more we unite in this way, the more we will feel the common Kli, the upper light that will come to us through all the friends.

You need to join your friends and carry all the upper light, energy, and love for absolutely everyone through yourself.

Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Nature

583.01Question: I feel the hearts of my friends, but my heart is torn into pieces. I keep bumping into the wall of egoism when I try to open it. I feel terrible shame from the thought that if I open my heart, everyone will see that there is criticism, judgements, and all sorts of nonsense.

Answer: So what’s the big deal? First, the usual answer to this is: “Go to the Creator who created my heart this way, complain to Him.” Therefore, when a person reveals his bad heart, he should not be ashamed and hide.

He must try to rise up and ask the Creator to correct, in general, what the Creator Himself did. We have every right to turn to Him and demand that He correct our hearts.

The science of Kabbalah is built on the fact that we unite in asking and demanding correction. And the Creator initially says: “I created the evil inclination and gave the Torah to correct it.”

What does “the Torah to correct it” mean? This is the highest light that we can attract, and it will correct us; only it can do this. And our task is to discover our faults and evil, and ask the Creator for help. He specifically waits for us to beg Him because in this case we will draw closer to Him.

Everyone can ask the Creator, and He hears everyone, but we must push Him to action only from the group. There are thousands of people at the convention, and therefore, when you ask and speak, you connect with each other and unite in a common heart.

In ordinary life, we act in tens. And if the ten is united, it can influence the Creator so that He changes each of its friends. Good luck to you!

What Makes Us Equal?

939.01Question: In order to connect, Must we be equal in order to connect; will be not be to annul unless we are equal?

Answer: No, our unity does not depend on equality, it depends on accepting each other. The fact is there will never be equality between us.

Each of us is a unique individual, a separate organism with its own nervous system, mind, and feelings. There can only be equality if we make ourselves equal. We all have the same nature, the same goal, and in this respect we are equal.

As we progress, we become both more different and more equal. Egoism develops more and more in each of us; thus, we move away from each other. But everyone strives for the same goal, so we get closer and eventually become like one man with one heart.

Why Is the Force of the Group Needed?

931.02Question: There is the force of the group. We know that if the friends do not pray for me, I will not rise. My spirit is lifted only by them thinking about me. That is how I use it. But what for?

Answer: In order to rise and pull them along with you; just like today maybe they are pulling you along with them. After all, everyone helps the other and thus we achieve the goal.

We must unite into one single system called Adam from which we all scattered by our egoism and return again to this single desire where everyone supports everyone, holds on and clings to each other, and thus unite in one heart. Then we will begin to feel only one force between us and around us—the Creator.

Ask for Unity

167Question: My inner ten is in my heart, and I also want to bring everyone I meet at the convention into my heart and to keep them there. With what prayer for the group should I combine my inner work?

Answer: To unite all in one group as much as possible. No matter how many of you there are, five, ten, fifty, or a hundred people, no matter how many, you should not limit yourself in this. Everyone who wants to join each other during the convention can be together.

Question: What should we ask for the group at this time?

Answer: Connection of everyone into one single heart without any differences between us.
