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.

Everyone Lives for Others

929Question: Is it enough for us to correct ourselves in order to correct the whole world?

Answer: No. Since there is a connection between all souls, no soul (degree) can complete its correction without correcting the parts of the next degree. No person lives for himself; this entire system is a system of mutual bestowal.

Therefore, it is impossible for someone to correct himself for his own sake. Everyone lives in order to provide correction and fulfillment for others. It is impossible for a soul that corrects itself not to have a part that its predecessors corrected for it, and a part that it itself is obligated to correct for others.

It is known that the upper part of each soul, its GE, is in the lower part, in the AHP, of the previous soul (Partzuf) that is the upper part for it. And its lower part, its AHP, is inside the GE of the lower soul.

Therefore, our free choice is where we are not connected with the upper soul and the lower soul, meaning, in the middle part of our soul, the middle part of the Sefira Tifferet.

There, a space free from all souls is formed, our freewill, and in principle, it represents a special connection in our soul of the upper and lower souls, in this connection they are equivalent and therefore provide us with freedom of choice.

And outside the middle part of the Sefira Tifferet, parts of the soul do not belong to it: the upper one relates to the higher soul (the previous Partzuf), and the lower one relates to the lower soul, to the continuer. Therefore, the calculation is always made on bestowal to the upper and the lower. And the decision about this bestowal is made in the middle and there is no other freedom!

Except for this artificially created middle point, called Klipat Noga, formed by the connection of Bina and Malchut, the point of my choice, everything else does not belong to me, but to the upper or lower Partzuf. And I stand in the middle and have to decide all the time how I am connected with them.

But this point, making the decision, is the I – “man,” “similar” to the Creator. On the one hand, Malchut, and on the other hand, Bina, and therefore at this point there is a special contact of Bina and Malchut (the properties of the Creator and creation), from which a free decision arises to make the creation similar to the Creator. It is called “Adam” – “similar.”

Until we reach this decision, we are not “Man.” A man begins with one, the awareness of the difference between Bina and Malchut and two, the connection between them.

From this point, he grows to the extent that he can serve others with his 613 desires: the upper ones (248 desires) and the lower ones (365 desires). If you do not do this, then you remain just a point. And if you do, then you develop your GE and AHP, and they spread to the common soul: all the souls that are above and below you.

Open the Door into the Future

944To open the lock to the Creator with the whole ten means to achieve the closest connection of hearts, when everyone puts their whole heart into it. This common heart will become the key that opens the lock.

Each of us is just a part of the key. The mechanism of the lock and key must interact and influence each other in order to open the door the Creator is behind.

At the world congress, everyone who wants to engage in spiritual work will have the opportunity to open their hearts and connect with other friends from all over the world to realize this together.

Awe of heaven is my fear: will I be able to insert the key into the lock so it corresponds to all lock forms at all levels (inanimate, vegetative, animate, human)? I will turn the lock so everyone would see themselves conform to the advanced state, and the door will open.

Awe of heaven is the connection that exists between me and the Creator. The more I feel the awe, adjust  my key to the shape of the lock, and turn it, the more I connect with the Creator.

According to the forms I create in the key, the lock begins to open for me with this key. I hope the joint preparations for the congress will allow us to get closer, connect, and find the right shape of the lock and key in our connection, in a common embrace, thanks to mutual help and support. The ideal state at the congress is when absolutely everyone, without exception, participates in the common effort to open the lock.

The key is striving for the future, which everyone imagines a little differently. After all, not everyone is in the right state; in some way everyone’s state is incorrect. Therefore, one connects in the common key, wants to push himself and turn in the direction to the point where the lock opens.

A person alone cannot open the lock; we need to unite all our desires to achieve this. A congress provides the opportunity to complement each other by bringing all aspirations together. And then we will feel there is one common key, and with the help of prayer, we can reveal it.

The Key to the Lock of Happiness

232.08To enter the state of Lishma (intention for the sake of the Creator), one must find the key that unlocks this specific door. This is where the test lies: am I in the right state? Can I open this door or not? If not, it is as if I am retreating, returning to my previous state.

The test is whether all my accumulated experience up to this point is forming the correct key that will open the entrance to Lishma.

In the corporeal world, we can clearly see a lock and a key that cannot open it. The same applies here. I realize that I am not yet ready to unlock this door: either I lack fear before the heavens, or the shape of my key does not yet match the lock, meaning they do not fit together.

The Creator gives us the Torah as keys to inner doors, but we do not have the key to the outer door, the fear before the heavens. Under special conditions, under the influence of external forces, I begin to feel that I must achieve the correct alignment between the key and the lock.

The key is my inner form, my friends, my tens. The outer form must be arranged like a house, so that the key fits into the lock and can turn it, that is, so that all the details of the house and the key align.

Together, friends build the form that I must align myself with. Each person adjusts himself through their own individual work, and after these efforts, we all unlock the lock together. But outside the ten, there is no key that can open it.

As I approach the correct form, I feel more precisely what is needed to unlock it. The right key is when my aspiration fits the lock exactly, and we merge in one desire. In other words, I seek to match the lock’s need and take on a form that completely fills its empty space so that I can then turn it in the direction required by the environment.

If the key does not fit even slightly, the lock will not turn. But if we, together with the friends, connect closely to all parts of the lock, we can clarify everything unnecessary that prevents us from fully inserting the key and unlocking the lock.

Light Is the Music of the Soul

294.4Question: I understand why the fulfillment is hidden from us. But why are our connections with each other hidden?

Answer: Because connection and fulfillment are inseparable.

What is the light? How can one explain what a sensation is? Suddenly, I feel certain vibrations within me toward someone—hatred, love, fear, care. These vibrations did not come from the outside; they were born within me, inside my attitude toward that person.

They arise because I establish a special connection with them and work on it. And then when I unite with them, I feel certain impressions in my desires, sensations, and qualities, like vibrations. And this is called light.

Light does not come from somewhere outside to envelop me; it is revealed within me, in my attitude toward someone. It cannot be revealed just like that; it is impossible. It can only be felt in my connection with another: for example, I give them a sensation, and they receive it, or vice versa.

A connection that binds two people together is necessary and within it a certain vibration, an impression is felt, and this is called light. Like a wire stretched from one to another through which a current flows, or a conduit that links us.

It turns out that light is that very vessel that senses all kinds of changes within itself. The light itself does not change, it is the desires and the impressions they experience that change. But no light comes from the outside.

It is like the vibration of a string that creates the voice of a musical instrument, and this is called light. That is why we must create bestowal and love within us, and then within this love and bestowal, we will feel its inner root called the Creator.

In One Point

530Question: Can we influence group work? For example, our ten has decided to get together. What can we add to this point?

Answer: We all have to end up in one point and not leave it. Then everything will work out for us in a quick way.

Question: What is this point? Meaning, the first impulse is for me not to emit any anger, to hold it, to remain neutral and appeal to the Creator right away?

Answer: Yes
