Delve into Oneself

231.03Question: When a person prays to the Creator and receives a response from Him that seems to encourage him to delve deeper into his egoism and see his negative qualities, what does this indicate?

Answer: This means that a person should delve more deeply into himself, and then he will be closer to the Creator.

Question: How does one discern which desires he receives from the Creator and which are under the rule of the evil inclination? How can one know which desires to work with?

Answer: Gradually a person will feel what comes from the Creator and what originates from himself.

Preserve the Feeling of Unity

275Question: Yesterday there was a worldwide women’s gathering as preparation for the convention. At the end of the gathering we felt like one woman. How can we maintain this feeling and bring it into the convention?

Answer: You need to maintain the connection among all the friends so that there is such unity in which you promise not to separate from each other, and then everything will be fine. You will immediately begin to add more and more to the connections between you.

Pleasure from Unity

630.2Question: We feel pleasure from our unity. How should we relate to it? When it comes, you want to freeze and not move at all.

Answer: Do not enjoy it like an ordinary egoist. Enjoy the fact that you can attract this pleasure through your friends.

Question: But how do we do this?

Answer: Tell yourself that you want to see this pleasure coming to you through your friends.

Question: Can we try to internally give this pleasure to our friends?

Answer: No, you cannot imagine any pleasures with which you fill others. It is unnatural. We will talk about this later.

Exercise for Working in the Ten

528.04Question: Rabash writes in Article 13 that we must not forget to constantly raise the question of how far we have progressed in love of friends.

Does that mean that we should do this as a mandatory exercise at meetings of the ten, at gatherings, or is this individual work? What exercise do you recommend for working in the ten?

Answer: I recommend that you constantly think during your studies about how you can unite, how everyone can make way for friends, and then you will succeed.

234Question: The more a person restricts their desires for the sake of bestowal, the more they progress. Is there any gradation of desires, or does each person have their own?

Answer: Each person has their own desires, and it is not known which ones will cause them to stumble.

Question: Where should I focus my efforts? Should I try to hold onto the Creator and, at the same time, to all my friends by praying for them? Or should I simply try to annul myself and dissolve within everyone?

Answer: That is the best approach.

Question: How can we break the “wall” that prevents us from opening our hearts and asking for greater light?

Answer: Through persistence.

Question: Does envy depend on how great the Creator is in my eyes? Where does this feeling of envy come from? Is it only from the greatness of the Creator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What should I do with the shame and regret I feel over the difference in efforts between me and my friends from the world Kli? They have received from the Creator the ability to bestow and are using it, whereas I have not yet been given this opportunity.

Answer: It is neither better nor worse. Whatever is given is given. Therefore, do not look at others, just try to ascend.

A Good Example of Everyday Life

237Question: Yesterday we were invited as guests to take part in a meal with our friends’ children. It is impossible to put into words what happened there! I was amazed! Outwardly, they are ordinary teenagers, but it was clear that they are true Priests, special souls. It was obvious that they have the power to lead millions, even billions to the Creator.

The Creator gave me a gift to see this. I could not fall asleep for a long time. It was as if I had been turned upside down! And now, what am I supposed to do with this?

Answer: You were given a good example of what can be made out of our everyday life: family, children, study, work. That is all. Draw your conclusions.

Just Keep Going!

506.6Question: You gave us this pattern for spiritual work: at the first stage, annul ourselves in order to dissolve in our friends and at the second stage, try to elevate everyone.

Today, as we explore envy and all its aspects, is this some new structure, a new stage? Are we leaving behind yesterday’s structure, or are we continuing the same as yesterday just at a higher quality?

Answer: We are constantly trying to expand the qualities we used yesterday in order to build a better form of the world.

Question: So we continue to annul ourselves, dissolve in our friends, and strive to ascend? And all of this is now also imbued with envy toward them?

Answer: Yes.

Questions about Spiritual Work—221

235Question: You said that the Creator awakens a person according to their capabilities and readiness. Can a person increase these capabilities and readiness? If so, how is this done and by what means?

Answer: This is done by the Creator.

Question: When we speak about the system in Achishena (hastening), does it apply to an individual, a ten, our group, or the entire world? How do we approach this system that we want to reveal within ourselves and thank the Creator for it? Where does it become revealed?

Answer: This system is revealed within each person, in their desire to receive and between the forces of the soul and the forces of the heart. And there, one must see to what extent he or she exists within their own forces.
