Question: I look at some friends who seem to conceal themselves, they never open up. Why do you always say: “Do not think about me, think about the Creator?” Where and what is the strength here?

Answer: When I came to Rabash, I saw six or seven old men sitting and studying different books. I did not understand these texts yet and actually did not know how to read them. It was very difficult: I knew nothing, did not understand, and did not see what the relationship between them was.

They hardly spoke to each other; only when reading books did they sometimes exchange one or two words.

But gradually, their language became clear to me, and I saw why they behaved this way—so as not to interfere with the general reading. I realized that they think about each other and help each other.

Nothing was visible from the outside. This is the work in the heart. Kabbalists even encourage us to hide what is in our hearts.

The opening of the heart occurs from within, in desires. But there was nothing there in words. If I were judging by their words, I would generally think that some old people were sitting there who have nothing to do, and they are just getting together and reading. What else should they do at the age of seventy?

But I do not think you will have to wait until you are seventy. You will reveal your feelings to your friends earlier, and they will reveal them to you. Without words!

Question: Egoism separates and splits everything, and the Creator glues everything together and makes it one. How, nevertheless, can we not divide the tens and even friends in the ten into individual people, but see the entire network of connections both inside the ten, inside the world Kli, and inside the entire world?

Answer: During the convention, the unity of all our friends is possible. It does not matter at all where we live and what languages we speak.

This is a convention, Kenes, from the word “Hitkansut (Assembly), mutual connection.

But if we are talking about a spiritual structure, then it is united in tens, and we should not break tens, but on the contrary, strengthen them.”

Question: What does it mean to make room for the Creator in our connection?

Answer: It means that by uniting together we want the Creator to fit into our common desire, which we make up from our private desires.

When the ten completely unites and we want to be filled with the light of the Creator, then the light of Yechida that can fill our ten will mean the appearance of the Creator.

If we are united, nothing will interfere with the light.

Question: What determines how much and with what quality light will enter the Kli?

Answer: It depends on our feelings, desires, how much we have mutual rejections, and how much we rise above them and still want to be together.

Question: I have a feeling that I am just a black dot in which there is nothing white. How can I accept and not condemn this state of slavery?

Answer: Each of us is a black dot, and this is our initial egoistic state.

We have to invert ourselves and become a white dot against the background of a black world. And then many more white dots will be added to us, and the world will become bright.

A person who wants to feel the Creator must connect with the hearts of his friends, and then through them, inside them, he will feel the Creator. Our common heart, which we are building together, will be a place, a detector for revealing and feeling the Creator, and will allow us to connect with Him.

We need to build and keep such a heart in order to keep the connection with the Creator all the time. This is all in our power. The Creator really wants each of us to rise above our egoistic heart and connect with the hearts of our friends so that in this connection, we begin to feel, attain, and connect with the Creator, to adhere to Him.

This is the work we have to do at the convention and every day in general. We need to build the same state that should be at the complete correction of the world.

Who knows better than us how much the world needs correction and that it does not even know where to look for salvation? We must bring correction to the world and give it hope for a good future. All problems will be solved by our connection.

So let us try to connect our hearts into one heart in order to feel the upper force, our entire universe, and how all this infinity enters into our common heart. I hope that we will be able to open our hearts and begin to accept all humanity, all reality, and all the worlds there. Then we will feel that this entire infinite universe in which we exist is inside our hearts and that the Creator fills all this space.

Let us try to open our hearts at the congress together as one heart—men and women. It does not matter what languages we speak or from what parts of the world we came; the main thing is that we have one common heart.

And since this heart is assembled from all sorts of parts that are so different and alien to each other, when we connect them together, this connection of hearts will open a vessel for feeling the Creator, who is one for all.

I need to open my heart to the feeling that I am doing my best for everyone and connecting with everyone. I invite everyone into my heart and I myself enter the hearts of my friends. And so we open our common heart, which is called “congress,” that is, a gathering.

We must feel that the congress is taking place in our hearts, which all merge into one heart as much as possible. Try with all our might to bring our hearts closer together until they merge into one whole in which we will begin to feel closer to the Creator. After all, He is there in this one heart, and if we want to reveal the Creator, then this is the path, the action that we need to perform.

There is no other way for a person who wants to reveal the Creator, and ultimately there is no other way for all of humanity. Otherwise, we will have to move forward through suffering and troubles in order to eventually realize that it is necessary to break the barriers that separate our hearts and unite these hearts into one heart.

Humanity moves forward year after year, day after day, through a sea of problems, only to eventually realize that there is no choice but to work toward unity. And this is against the entire egoistic nature of man, which is constantly trying to alienate us from each other. This distance is arranged by the Creator Himself, so that by fighting against separation we can feel the Creator more and more.

Initially, everyone sees everything through their egoism, the desire that is directed at themselves.

Therefore, there is no other way out but to get closer and unite everyone into one desire, which is what they call “to become like one person with one heart.” This is the goal of the Kabbalistic group.

Almost forty years have passed since Rabash wrote his articles about the formation of the group. And the Kabbalists of the past mentioned this thousands of years ago. And although people have changed a lot since then, the method of correction has remained the same.

The main thing is our connection. After all, every person has a piece of the common soul of Adam HaRishon, and in order to reach the connection with the Creator, we must connect with each other. This connection is implemented in the tens since ten is a special round number, equivalent to the entire general whole. Therefore, following the advice of Kabbalists, we will organize ourselves into tens.

Everyone must take care to be included in a ten, where everyone will be as one man with one heart. This connection is permanent and strengthens all the time. The power of this connection determines the degree to which we raise ourselves, up to the complete correction, up to true connection into one man with one heart.

This principle has been observed for thousands of years by Kabbalists, that is, people who want to rise spiritually and reach correction. On the basis of this calculation, we can evaluate the world, and the people, and check ourselves to what degree we are.

That is why it is so important to hold gatherings of friends where we meet and try to unite as one: one ten as one, ten tens as one, etc., more and more until the power of our connection gives us the feeling of the Creator. This is how we advance until the end of correction when all the billions of people will unite into one ten, into one common structure, the soul of Adam.

When you come to the convention, you need to jump into this sea of love. Even in ordinary life it happens that when you love someone, it is impossible to keep your feelings inside; they pour out. This is the relationship we want with the Creator.

Here we are not talking about love between a man and a woman or parents and children, but about the kind of love that is above bodies and above all calculations—a boundless ocean where you can enter and disappear in its depths. This is how we need to drown in our feelings, like in the ocean.

We enter this sea; it picks us up and carries us. It pulls us in all directions, and it makes us feel that we are in the ocean of our friends’ love, in the sea of our unity. I am not afraid of drowning in this sea; on the contrary, I feel surrounded by friends, I am together with them, and there are no boundaries to our mutual feelings.

The sea is Malchut, and therefore there is a custom of going into the sea and plunging headlong three times. This is a wonderful thing.

How can we unite as one man if everyone is initially so different? There is not a single person who is absolutely similar to another. And the whole nature is arranged in such a way that each being has unique qualities that distinguish him from others and are even opposite to them.

Therefore, all our work is done above our qualities. We cannot correct them; we can only attract the upper force, the reforming light, so that it connects us.

And then we will be able to be together, and to the extent of our connection, we will again become one body, one desire, one intention, called Adam HaRishon, and so we will achieve the goal of creation.

We do not need to look at how different we are, but despite all the differences we need to look for how to unite into one vessel for the sake of one goal, one Creator. And then all the differences that originally existed in us, which we could not correct but could only rise and unite above, will benefit us and strengthen the force of our unity.

Therefore, at the upcoming convention, we need to try to unite and inspire each other in order to advance. The convention gives everyone a unique opportunity to be inspired by thousands of people and then bring these impressions to their tens, thus gaining power many times greater than what they had before the convention.

This is a special gift, a special power that can be obtained during the convention, and that is why we are gathering in it. Each of us has a very small, tiny force. But when we unite, our forces are incorporated into one another and form one huge force.

Therefore, do not miss this opportunity. All we need these days is to be impressed by each other, by how much a whole swarm of opposing, alien forces lives in everyone, but I want to accept this force and get involved in this connection.
