The Force of 600,000 Souls

938.07Question: How is the force of 600,000 souls revealed in the ten?

Answer: The force of 600,000 souls is revealed simply as fulfillment. For it to be revealed within us, the collective strength of the mass of souls is needed, literally their weight.

The Beginning of Inner Connection

294.2Question: What should a person feel when receiving a well-deserved gift from the Creator?

Answer: When a person receives what he is entitled to according to the line of connection from the Creator that he has built between himself and the Creator, he will feel guidance within this line about how to act correctly in order to expand the connection between them, to make it broader in range. In this way one enters a state of shared participation in the Creator’s influence on him.

Question: Is this connection mutual love?

Answer: It is not yet mutual love, but it is the beginning of inner connection.

How Do We “Defeat” the Creator?

276.02The Creator says about this, “My sons have defeated Me.” That is, I gave you the will to receive, and you ask Me to give you a desire to bestow instead (Baal HaSulam, Shamati, 19, “What Is ‘The Creator Hates the Bodies’ in the Work?“).

The Creator created a tremendous desire to receive in us, and we are trying to realize this desire in the opposite form: not as receivers, but as givers, like the Creator. Therefore we ask the Creator to help us change our state from receiving to bestowing.

Question: If we have already recognized that the desire to receive is bad and bestowal is good, then how do we defeat the Creator? Is it by turning to Him?

Answer: Yes, in general, this is our victory. As it is written: “My sons have defeated Me.”

How Can We Direct Ourselves toward Bestowal?

284.07Question: During the lesson there is a feeling of great light and goodness emanating from the Creator. There is only acceptance and agreement with it, and a sense of immense gratitude. Is this the moment of bestowal?

Answer: No, this is not bestowal; this is reception. However, you are receiving in those vessels that the Creator has previously blessed.

Question: How can we develop vessels of bestowal? How can we direct ourselves, even slightly, toward bestowal?

Answer: Through love, love and joint work in mutual responsibility.

Ask the Creator and Demand an Answer

238.01Question: You have told us that when contact with the Creator happens, I have to give Him everything that I have prepared. What should I prepare for the bestowal to the Creator?

Answer: Do you have any requests, wishes, or pleas for Him?

Comment: Yes.

My Response: This is what you should prepare. Then start asking the Creator precisely about the fulfillment of these wishes.

Question: Can we in the ten accumulate and build this set of pleas?

Answer: Of course you can. Then you can track how your requests change, how the ten is transforming with this, etc.

Question: Is it possible to sense that the Creator has answered us?

Answer: No, don’t be confused. For now just ask and demand an answer from Him.

How Can We Draw Closer to the Creator?

284.03Question: You described two approaches to interacting with the Creator: bringing Him closer to me or pushing myself toward Him. What is the difference, and do I have a choice in this?

Direct Yourself toward the Creator

962.8Question: If the speed of acknowledging our flaws is faster than the speed of praying for correction, what does this mean?

Answer: This means you need to pay closer attention to your faults and work to restore them to a normal state as soon as possible.

Question: Do both awareness and prayer mean contact with the Creator?

Answer: Yes, of course.

Question: How do we equalize the feeling that both are from the Creator?

Answer: There is no need to equalize anything. You should just direct yourself toward the Creator as much as possible.
