The Reference Point of Attainment

224Question: It is said: “Anything that we do not attain, we do not know by name.” This refers to the essence itself, the very core. We are strongly reminded not to forget this.

What is the reference point for attainment? When can we actually name this essence?

Answer: When your desires develop to the point that they are suitable for receiving the light, then the light shines within your desire. At that moment, it gives a clear definition of itself, of you, and of the action. Right now, it is still too early to speak about this in detail, but it will come very quickly.

Questions about Spiritual Work—247

234Question: It is said that Malchut of the world of infinity adorned herself in order to come to equivalence of form with the upper light. What does this mean?

The Complete Desire

282.01Comment: Sometimes I feel such despair that my throat closes.

Answer: This is fine, but such states need to be used correctly and rationally. One cannot walk forward on one leg, but only on two legs. The desire for the Creator and the strength of desire must be balanced. That is why many want to, but cannot, express it.

On one hand, they have a desire for the Creator, but on the other hand, it is just a bare desire, like a child’s desire. In order to reach the Creator, one must also have an addition to this desire: what exactly do I want, what for, why, and so on. Then you will have a complete desire, which the Creator will answer.

The Final Hisaron

528.01Question: Is there a main, final Hisaron (deficiency) of Hisaronot (deficiencies) that the ten should strive for? If it exists, can the ten immediately demand such a Hisaron (lack) from the Creator, or should they strive for it through some intervals?

Answer: No special actions are required. You just need to try to be closer to your friends to such an extent that as to feel and perceive everyone as a single whole that you want to raise to the Creator. Then it will happen.

Clarify the Desires

562.02Question: You said that one must have a desire and make the right analysis so that this desire would be pleasing to the Creator. Where should I stop in the analysis so that it does not put off the Hisaron (deficiency)?

Answer: You must constantly feel with what desire you are turning to the Creator. Then it will become clear to you where the point is at which you stopped turning to the Creator for the needs of the friends or the entire world Kli, and instead you ask Him to fill you personally.

Dissolve in the Friends

943Question: It is said that a person must overcome his own opinion and thoughts, and believe with complete faith that this is the Creator’s call. What do we overcome within ourselves in order to hear the voice of the Creator in the ten?

Answer: We must try to step out of our limited state where we are connected to each other by small egoistic ties and strive to replace them with mutual bestowal directed toward the center of the group.

As much as possible, we should avoid addressing someone personally in the ten and instead dissolve in the friends and bind them together. This is what we must get to.

Questions about Spiritual Work—246

281.02Question: At the highest point of an ascent, how can one remember in a timely manner that everything was done, is being done, and will be done by the Creator and not attribute anything to oneself?

Answer: Such a feeling and such an evaluation gradually form in a person. So one just needs to continue.

Question: Is inner work with the Creator intended to bring one to the intention to bestow? Or even before the inner work, should I feel that my intention is directed toward bestowal and then I will come to this work?

Answer: No, intentions for bestowal are gradually formed within a person. That is, inner work brings you to a clear intention to bestow.

Question: Should I perceive all the words coming from the friends as the voice of the Creator?

Answer: Not all, but for the most part.

Question: What should a person’s response to the call of the Creator be?

Answer: A person should try to draw closer to the Creator and understand what He desires from him.

The Donkey Driver

963.1Although we are all born with our own unique root of the soul on different levels and with different desires, since there is mutual inclusion of souls, each person can adopt the desires of others. Moreover, it is said that anyone can rise to the level of Moses. But how is that possible if I was born with a small root of the soul?

However, everything depends on the person! Even if one is born with a low root of the soul, he can connect to higher desires, correct them, and rise to the very highest level.

This is called the Creator sending him a donkey driver (donkey, “Hamor” from the word “Homer,” material), a soul that helps him connect to higher desires and also correct them. Then anyone can rise to the level of the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob), the greatest souls, as well as to the level of Moses, the greatest of the prophets.

Therefore, when a person is born (gives birth to himself) in the spiritual world, he can receive from all others their desires and, by using them, become just as significant as the highest soul. And in this, souls do not interfere with each other. All rise to the same, maximum level of correction, up to the full light of NRNHY.
