Convention: Making a Big Correction in the World

938.03Question: Now at the convention, we will gather with friends in the tens and try to feel the internal connections between us. How can we come together to the first condition of the prayer that only the Creator can correct us?

Answer: Talk about this with your friends and make sure that they think the same way that only the Creator can correct your condition.

Question: And how can we together with the whole world Kli cultivate this common cry?

Answer: To do this, you should try together to get as close to each other as possible, embrace everyone, feel the vibrations of your friends, and unite with them so that there is no space between you.

Come together, bring yourself closer to a global connection, and we will make a big correction in the world.

Toward Global Correction

942Question: Lately we have been not just making prayers, but some kind of cry and demand to the Creator to help us correct ourselves so that we can have peace in the world. What is it?

Answer: This means that your heart begins to really open up and demand correction. This will lead us to universal correction.

The most important thing in our work is to unite and feel like we exist together, as if we are one, so that a group or several groups, or all students in general, stop feeling that there is some kind of separation between them. And then we will feel a greater revelation of what we want to attain.

How Can We Not Be Afraid of Obstacles on the Spiritual Path?

276.02Question: What does “the soul teaches a man” mean?

Answer: This means that a person perceives through his soul all the problems that the Creator puts on his path so that he can ask Him for help to overcome them.

Question: How can we not be afraid of obstacles on the path?

Answer: On the contrary, rejoice if problems arise before you because this is a reason to once again contact the Creator, complain to Him, and make some demands.

He will listen to everything with pleasure since He Himself creates obstacles for you so that you will turn to Him, and He Himself will help you overcome them. If it were not for problems, then you would have no reason to maintain contact with the Creator.

The result of the correct appeal to Him should be the feeling of the Creator, His force, because only with its help can you deal with all your problems.

Question: Is there something we bestow to the Creator in this approach?

Answer: Our requests are what we bestow to Him.

How Can You Move to the Right Line?

547.06Question: How can a person move to the right line from some neutral state?

Answer: I do not think that a person can instantly move to the right line because he still has a lot of various properties that are opposite to the Creator.

You must collect the correct attitude toward the Creator from your ten, demonstrate it to everyone, and ask for confirmation that you have the correct attitude toward the Creator. Then a right line will begin to appear.

At the same time, you develop strength in the right line. In this case, you attract the whole Kli to this line, and thus reach its correction, but only through yourself. Then the rest of your friends should follow you.

In other words, when you call on the ten to unite with a certain intention, for a certain purpose, and the ten agrees and unites with you, then they are already together in the right line.

Question: How can I check if I am in the right or only in the left line?

Answer: You are in one line if all three lines come together for you, and you are in the right line only when you are able to be in connection with someone and fully justify what comes to you.

Questions about Spiritual Work—64

249.01Question: When a friend has obstacles and problems in the ten, it seems so simple and easy that I want to give advice. But is it better to show an example or continue to sort out the situation?

Answer: It is best to show an example. If this example is displayed correctly, it is necessary to repeat it.

Question: What is a free, strong desire to merge with the Creator?

Answer: A free, strong desire is a desire that is freed from Klipot and rushes to the Creator.

Question: Are the various temptations of the material world the biggest obstacles for us, or is it still a bad relationship between us?

Answer: In fact the biggest obstacle lies in the relationship between us in the group. The obstacles may be of a completely different type, but that is the reason.

Question: There are states when, after connecting with friends, you feel lightness and joy from connection, and sometimes there are states when serious heaviness occurs. Are both of these states correct or not?

Answer: Both are correct. In general, all states are necessary because all of them, one way or another, twist us and direct us to the Creator.

Against the Master’s Wishes

709The speaking has virtues: 1 – It acts against the will of the Landlord. 2 – It is not confined to its contemporaries like the vegetative, meaning it is independent of the environment. 3 – It also feels others and can, therefore, care for them and complement them (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 115 “Still, Vegetative, Animate, and Speaking”).

To act against the Master’s wishes means to act against the nature that the Creator has placed in us.
The owner, i.e., nature, the Creator, requires one thing from us, and we choose a higher level. We go against the Creator because we do not want to obey our egoistic nature. We want to be above it.

Question: How does a Kabbalist choose whether now he is going against the will of the master or the will of society?

Answer: It is according to one’s perception of their life. That is already felt in a plant, an animal, and even more so at the speaking level.

To move from the speaking level to the human level, we must go through all the previous levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and speaking. And then we will achieve a complete sense of nature and accordingly, the Creator in whom we all find ourselves.

See Yourself in the True Light

533.02One must always delve in the work of Malchut, called “writing,” considered “ink” and Shacharit [blackness] ( Baal HaSulam, Shamati 122 “Understanding What Is Written in Shulchan Aruch”).

Question: Why is the work of Malchut called the property of ink and blackness? Where do we record this?

Answer: Malchut is the desires of a person, which are initially all egoistic and therefore called blackness.

Recording is what we write with black ink on a white background. In other words, everything that appears to us is drawn to us by our desires (black ink) on the background of white light (Bina).

Question: The article says that sometimes the Sitra Achra helps a person by drawing everything in black light to show his true situation. Can it be said that hardships or some kind of sorrows also help us see ourselves in the true light?

Answer: Of course, they help. A person feels the difference between what is in the heart and what is in the mind and sees that the mouth and the heart are not equal. When one realizes that what one says differs from what one feels, then a person sees what needs to be corrected.

The Exceptional Factor

248.02Question: How does the speaking level differ from the animal?

Answer: The speaking level differs from the animal level in that it cares about its neighbor, about those who are outside of it.

It can develop so much, feel the other so much that in this way it becomes incorporated into him, saves him, and takes care of him.

Question: But animals also take care of each other. Is there any exceptional factor that will really lift us above the animal level?

Answer: Only the feeling of the Creator. And this is the fourth level, above the speaking level.

What Should We Focus on during a Kabbalah Convention?

943Question: When we are in a state of ascent, especially at a convention, we unite and feel pleasure from the light of the Creator.

If we do not make further efforts, but remain in a state of enjoyment, will we sooner or later fall?

Answer: Yes, as soon as you lose movement between yourself and forward toward the Creator, you immediately lose your state and fall back into sole egoism.

Question: If at the moment of the fall we begin to act with the help of the group and the sources, then we rise again?

Answer: Yes, but you cannot use it at the convention, there is no time, it is not the right state. At a Kabbalah convention, you should just feel each other and thus not lose your heart.

From My Own Experience

232.09Question: How can one rise in faith above reason by judging oneself?

Answer: That is what we are doing. I cannot explain what it means to be in faith above reason. A person should format himself in such a way that he feels from his own experience what it means to be within reason and above reason.

When, in accordance with this, he has feelings about what it means to be within reason, in oneself, in work, in desire, and a feeling above reason arises, then he will be able to work with these two degrees and come close to the Creator.
