To The Convention As To Battle

232.08We are preparing for the convention as if we are going into battle with our egoism that stands between me and my friends. I must break this wall in my heart that separates me from everyone else and achieve such a connection with them that will not be an obstacle for the upper light.

The upper light is concentrated in the intervals between us that are created by the Creator. And we need to build bridges for Him over the barriers separating us so that the light can jump over them. It turns out that by this we increase the light to the height of the barriers.

The barriers divide us more and more and I feel how egoism grows and separates me from my friends, and at the same time my desire to step over these barriers and connect with everyone is also growing.

And due to the fact that we overcome the rejection that has grown to the height of the wall, and unite, we increase the upper light from the initial, minimal light of Nefesh, which was in Adam HaRishon, to the height of the Creator. We increase it by our own strength, in our understanding and sensation, and by making an accurate calculation of how much light we are able to receive.

The correction of sinners that reveal themselves to us allows us to attain the power of the Creator, to acquire His strength and character. And all this is due to our resistance to the desire to enjoy and the breaking that reveals to us the true distance between us. To this extent we will also be able to reveal the connections between us until we fully reveal the Creator in all His might.

The Convention And My “I”

942Question: Being at the congress means being integrated with everyone. But on the other hand, I want to do it quickly and run away, sit in a corner, and observe from the side what is happening. But one came from far away, overcame so much, and must integrate with the friends. How can we work with this state?

Answer: I think you need to detach from your “I.” Leave everything that arises in you for later, for when you go back home.

Do whatever everyone else does and try to feel what everyone else feels. You should not run to a corner and plunge into reflections and different thoughts. Participate as much as you can in the general common motion, in the common game, in the common action.

I Do Not Give Advice To The Creator

232.1I do not give advice to the Creator, but I bow down and am ready to fulfill all His requirements as far as I can. After all if I do not agree with what is happening, it turns out that I am telling the Creator how to treat me.

First of all, my consent is needed, that I am in the power of the upper force and I want to get closer to it, and I do not require the Creator to change and get closer to me. I only ask the Creator to work on me to bring me closer to Him.

How To Jump Into The Light

608.02We need to understand that we do not see anything in the spiritual process, as if we have lost consciousness. We are absolutely cut off from the spiritual world and if we want to return to consciousness, we must fulfill what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches: to detach ourselves from our egoism and integrate in someone else’s desire, outside of ourselves.

A foreign desire is the desire of the Creator, which is absolutely opposite to me, and therefore I cannot jump into it. How can I jump from myself into the Creator? To do this, I have been given a tool: the group.

The upper light spreads through four stages from top to bottom along the Sefirot—Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut—and inside Malchut builds the desire to receive. And in order to jump into the light, I have to climb the same steps back up.

If I gather a group and annul myself in front of them as Malchut toward the first higher Sefirot, then I express my desire to become like Keter. It turns out that I jump from my side to the side of the Creator with the help of the ten, the group. This is the whole patent.

At The Mercy Of Unknown Forces

293We must understand that corporeal life will depend every day more and more on our spiritual state. We see how humanity is plunging day by day into ever greater global problems and into ever greater misunderstanding, confusion, and uncertainty about the future.

The Creator wants to make us feel that we are dependent on forces unknown to us. All the systems of this world that we have built to gain greater strength, security, and confidence in life are being destroyed. Day by day, a person will feel less and less confident and he will not know how to build the future or what tomorrow brings.

This lack of security will break people because it will be impossible to make any plans either for today or for tomorrow. It will be impossible to know what to do and how to live. Humanity will lose all hope and prospects for the future and will feel like a lost child who stands and cries not knowing where to go, where his parents have disappeared.

There is another problem here, having lost its support in life, egoism grabs at straws and starts looking for the guilty one. If I find who is to blame for everything, then I will have a goal and a landmark that will not let me hang in the air between heaven and earth.

And this is a very dangerous turn to confrontation. Therefore, it is necessary to show humanity that there is no choice, and that the solution can be reached only through connection.

Entering Impregnation Of The Soul

947If we fulfill the conditions given to us by the Creator who is not allowing us to meet physically but only virtually and come closer to each other in our hearts, then we will advance even more toward each other and together we will advance closer to the goal, that is, to the system of Adam HaRishon. In this way, we will restore this system of the common soul, and the Creator, the Shechina, will reside among us. This is how we will reach correction.

There is no one else besides the upper force, and therefore everyone deals only with the Creator, but only through the friends. Otherwise, we have no connection with the upper force since the contact with it is possible only to the extent that my connection with the friends is strong and qualitative, and then through them, I will reveal the Creator.

From the love of friends, we come to the love of the Creator, so it is necessary to direct all our thoughts, desires, and actions to it. The more complex, qualitative, and strong the connection we achieve, the more we will discover the Creator within it and be able to adhere to Him.

Our entire work is to clear the area between us of all foreign thoughts and confusions and always aim at the true connection, above all the claims of egoism and disturbances. All obstacles we should see as help guiding us to the correct connection.

By clearing the area between us from all foreign thoughts, we begin to feel the Creator in it. It is necessary to focus all our mind and heart on this work because we are already at the beginning of impregnation, and what is left for us is only to expand our connection and strengthen it in order to see the spiritual embryo, that is, the soul of Adam HaRishon, which is beginning to resurrect from the shattering.

The embryo has both receiving and bestowing desires, and we gradually begin to scrutinize them, scrutinizing what we can use in order to connect with the group. Our task is to gather all the forces and desires that contribute to our connection and use them to build the head and body of the spiritual Partzuf. The rest of the desires we put aside for now, they will later be included in the end of the Partzuf.

Therefore, I sort my thoughts and desires, choose those that allow me to connect with the friends in the group, and this is how I advance. This means that inside the shapeless drop of semen the division to the head, body, and the end of the future Partzuf of the soul begins.

All this we need to do regarding the connection with the group. Whatever contributes to the connection with the group, I choose and keep; I work with these desires. And those desires that I cannot work with yet, I move to the end and leave for later.

In this way, from lighter to heavier, we begin to scrutinize our states. This means that a drop of semen from the general force of bestowal has begun to develop in us. A spiritual embryo, which was formed from all our correct forces, through our common concern and prayer, began to develop within mother, within Bina.

Ten As One

938.04I cannot increase my desire, but only add the desires of others to it. This will be called the growth of desire when I learn from one, another, then a third.

All the growth of the desire is because we are going back to the one soul—Adam HaRishon (The first man). The more we attach the parts that broke as a result of the shattering, the sin of the tree of knowledge, the greater the desire becomes. If this desire includes ten parts, then we become as one.

We do not simply merge into one, but remain separate parts united by one force that surrounds us in an embrace and brings us together. Ten are united by one intention, one common goal, and each annuls oneself for the sake of connecting with the others.

Within them, the power of self-annulment, which is called restriction, screen, and reflected light, and their common desire to bestow to the Creator begins to work.

Then a sense of the upper force is manifested within these ten because they have created conditions for the revelation of the Creator among them. The Creator does not come to them from somewhere outside, but is generated from within the forces of connection on top of the forces of rejection.
