Question: How can we maintain the intensity of our connection with the Creator?

Answer: Constantly think about Him.

Question: But when you focus on the thought, prayer, and gratitude, it feels like the ego cannot handle it and you just fall apart.

Answer: The Creator does this on purpose so that you renew your connection with Him again and again, and again. And so constantly.

Question: Can my heart be open while the ego still controls me?

Answer: Try to keep your heart open to the Creator.

Question: Do we need to be concerned about the advancement of friends who do not want it?

Answer: There is no need to, you won’t drag them against their will.

Question: What if we are in the same boat?

Answer: No, leave them alone. This will only make it worse for you.

We must show each other how much we desire to connect because it is precisely in the connection between us that we attain the Creator.

The Creator cannot be revealed in one person. At a minimum, two people are necessary, two who reject each other and simultaneously strive to be together above their egoism. There must be a dipole, two interconnected opposite qualities: love and hate, one above the other.

That is a challenge for humanity because people do not understand it. Either I am all in love or entirely feel hatred. Either I love a little or hate a little. However, opposing these two qualities and connecting them one above the other is very difficult.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to live in this, not rejecting, but developing both qualities—the thickness of egoism (Aviut), the restriction of its direct use (Tzimtzum), and the screen (Masach)—when I begin to work above egoism in the quality of bestowal, in connection with the upper light, i.e., in love. Then I turn into a complete Partzuf—a soul.

The problem is that I have to implement all this. Kabbalah is not a simple method. Such an action requires gradual mastery. It is truly a wisdom, a skill that must be learned gradually. Therefore, spiritual work takes many years.

Question: Is it enough for me to set a good example for the friend without expecting any reaction or should I still check his response?

Answer: You do not expect any reaction from your friend that would oblige you to continue setting positive examples.

You wait for your friend’s reaction to adjust your own, to change your attitude to an even more advanced one. That is, the direction is always positive toward getting closer to each other and greater mutual penetration into the quality of bestowal that would fill the space between you.

Question: What is the next degree in this situation?

Answer: The next degree in this situation means that despite rejection, you understand that you must move forward with reason, feelings, thoughts, and intentions. You keep yourself in a state of rejection and build a connection above it.

In such mutual internal tension, you move forward. If you think there should be some kind of love or romance here, this is certainly not Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, there are only two opposite states, one above the other. Then, you begin to ascend from our world to the next level.

Question: The idea of ​​transforming the egoistic nature of a person into an altruistic one with the goal of achieving adhesion with the Creator looks beautiful.

But I do not understand how this idea can be conveyed to the masses? To whom? This is an educational process, not just something you tell a person and that is it. The educational process is in the hands of the exploiters, and this is not beneficial to them.

Answer: I think that the educational process of a general type, the one that spreads to the entire system of humanity, is in the hands of the Creator.

Therefore, Baal HaSulam and other Kabbalists write that we are obliged by all means to begin dissemination and lead humanity to this goal as quickly as possible, to explain to it what awaits us if we follow this path correctly and what awaits us if we act incorrectly. We have a clear instruction, and we must follow it.

There is such a force in nature that knows how to lead and develop humanity, we just need not interfere with it and rely on it.
