The Value of Friends

942Question: We accept the value of friends as the beginning of the work and the value of friends as the whole path that we are going through here and now. How can we accept the value of friends as a miracle?

Answer: It is really a miracle that you have the opportunity to sit in a circle with your arms around each other, connect other hearts to this circle, and cling to each other and to the Creator with naked hearts, just like that. Include me as well in your circle.

If you constantly do such exercises, you will see how much your inner feeling opens up, and the Creator appears there.

In Search of Connection with the Creator

565.01Question: How can I find the thread on the sensory level that I can pull to directly feel the connection with the Creator and understand if I have awe of Him?

Answer: You do not have that thread yet because you are all within the ego. That is why we work in a group to get ourselves out of it with the help of our friends.

We do not deceive ourselves by saying we are here for the Creator. We really want to achieve this.

Question: Is awe the cause of love or the effect?

Answer: Awe is a person’s inner anxiety when he feels he can get closer to the Creator.

Concealed Desire

947Question: You said that in order to feel corrected, I need to include all the desires of the friends within me.

How can I do this if a friend in the ten has a concealed desire to connect, if he does not participate in lessons and workshops?

Answer: You just need to connect to his desire and that is it.

Your correction depends on how much you annul yourself in order to connect with him in one desire.

Everyone Corrects Only Their Soul

528.02Question: How do you come to ideal work in the ten when you constantly implement the measure of annulment and merge with the Creator?

Answer: This state is achieved when not only you but all the friends in the ten think the same thing.

Question: If, for example, I have worked out the measure of my annulment in the ten, then am I given my next measure? Or am I working out a global unprocessed measure of annulment of the entire ten?

Answer: No, this cannot happen. Everyone corrects only their soul.

How Can We Annul Before the Creator?

938.01Question: If we feel a friend, then he is part of us. Does this mean that when we are not physically together,  prayer connects us?

Answer: No, this is not true. The main thing for us is to be together in our ten, and then we will feel how much we can begin to rise together with our combined effort. The Creator will lift us up.

Question: How can I annul before the Creator? We study how to nullify before friends. Is there any difference between annulment before friends and the Creator?

Answer: There is no difference. Only the friends are a group, and the Creator is the only one above this group. If you learn to annul yourself before your friends, then you are learning to nullify yourself in before the Creator.

Vector toward the Ten

934Question: Sometimes negative thoughts come to me about this or that person. They capture my senses and cause irritation. Is it necessary to immediately stop the thought or should I somehow digest it in myself, scroll through it, close it, and try to cover it with love? If it does not work out, then pray accordingly? What is the right thing to do?

Answer: In any case, when you do not understand anything, you should gather the whole ten in your thoughts and feelings, connect with them, and then turn to the Creator. Then, He will answer any of your questions.

Meaning don’t stop the thought, but immediately change the vector to the ten, and then all negative thoughts will dissipate.

Fill the Void with Feelings

530Question: If a person does not have a descent and he does not feel that it is difficult for him to come to lessons and to meetings with friends, and if friends do not seem great to him, then this is the place for our work.

And if he sees his friends as great and it seems to him that he has the Torah and the commandments, what is the work here?

Answer: A person should be more focused on the quality of connection with friends. He needs to strive more and more to get closer to them, until he feels that there is a quality of bestowal to each other between them, meaning, the Creator is between them.

Remark: But it must be revealed, we must somehow reach this work.

My Comment: It is in front of you, it is between all the friends. Together, you must pounce on the void that opens up between you and fill it with your qualities and feelings.
