To Win the War Against Evil

963.5The most important thing that everyone needs to know today is that the connection between us, even across distances and borders, must save the world from evil.

If with every falling rocket, hatred and grievances toward friends and the Creator grow within you, you must remember that everything comes from the Creator: all your desires and feelings. Therefore, you need to turn to Him and ask for correction in order to feel love instead of hatred, closeness instead of distance. And thus it will happen to all of us.

We ask the Creator to truly make us feel that there is none else besides Him and that He surrounds us from all sides, supports us, and brings us closer to the end of correction.

To win in the war means, despite all obstacles, to hold on to friends and together to hold on to the Creator.

We need to ask the Creator to give the right thoughts and feelings in the heart of every person in the world, to men and women, so that everyone can calm down, and everyone understands how to unite and allow the Creator to reveal Himself in all of us.

It doesn’t matter when the congress ended and where and when the next one will be; we need to feel in a state of spiritual ascent all the time. And then everything will work out for us. The main thing is not to forget about each other, about the Creator, or about our connection, and through it to the Creator.

Mutual Influence

528.03Question: Let’s say the Creator gives me another revelation of egoism. I ask the Creator to correct it, and my state somehow changes. Does such individual spiritual work influence the entire ten?

Answer: Of course it does because you are part of this group. Therefore, when you ask and the group asks, you influence each other, and the Creator works between you. The most important thing is not to let go of mutual care for each other.

How Can We Grab the Creator

238.01Question: After we open our hearts, we need to grab the Creator for Him to fill our common heart. How can we do this in practice?

Answer: When you try to catch an object, do you imagine what you are catching?

This is the kind of movement you should make toward the Creator, and not once, but many times, twenty times every day. And then you will begin to get this aspiration for the Creator. It is exercises like this that will lead you to internal and external movements. Good luck.

A Network Woven from the Threads of Love

Bnei BaruhWe need to build such a network of connections so that the threads of love stretch between us, and then we need to jump into this sea of love. And we can already talk about it right now and try to do it, but in fact, it will become clear only after a strong connection in the ten.

This can only be realized when I feel myself inside the ten, and together with the entire ten we will take a step toward an even broader unification. Then we will experience indescribable sensations, unlike anything that exists in our world.

How To Succeed at The Convention

936Question: Our convention is called “Opening the Heart” and all its lessons are about how we can connect into one heart, how to overcome the burdening of the heart, and how to extract prayer from the depths of the heart.

Please give us direction so that in the remaining time we can fill ourselves with this convention.

Answer: If everyone prays for a friend, then you will succeed. If everyone in the depths of their hearts worries about themselves, then there will be no connection in which we would reveal the Creator and our next spiritual degree.

So let us pray for our friends. I do not care about myself, I care about my friends because I completely depend on them. It is not just “I care about them.” I care about them because this is also care for myself and for bringing contentment to the Creator. My action is not completely altruistic.

Let us think about mutual guarantee (Arvut) when each of us understands that without me supporting my friends, and my friends supporting me, none of us will achieve anything.

Let Everyone Enter Into My Heart

583.04Question: In one of his articles, Rabash writes that the Creator demands all hearts. What does it mean?

Answer: The Creator demands that all souls unite into one single soul, which is called Adam—from the word “Domeh,” similar to the Creator.

This is the state we must all achieve together. This is the meaning, purpose, and principle of our existence on Earth.

Try to direct your states toward the Creator, connect them with the Creator, and feel the Creator inside you, inside your connection with each other.

And the most important thing is to correct the heart, to open it wider and wider in front of all friends. Let everyone enter my heart, everyone can fit in it: all the worlds, all of creation, including the Creator. We must understand this, imagine it, attract to ourselves, and reveal ourselves, and then we will succeed.

Mutual Liberation

283.02Question: It is said, “One does not deliver oneself from imprisonment.” Rather, it is one’s friend who can lift him to the state of “spirit of life.”

How exactly can a friend help the other, and what is this state of the “spirit of life”?

Answer: If one person fills another with hope, strength, and purpose, then in this way he gets him out of prison. In this way they get out of there together.

The Main Help Is in Prayer

547.04Question: Our friend is in a descent and we do not know how to help him unite with us. How can we light a flame in his heart?

Answer: Sometimes you can help a friend, but sometimes you cannot. If a person suddenly loses the desire for spiritual elevation and does not see that this is his goal in life, then it is very difficult to raise him from this state. We need smart friends who would deal with him  correctly psychologically. And this does not always help.

But you should share your experiences on the Internet: what you tried to do in such cases and what helped you.

Question: It is said that a neighbor must help a friend. Where is the place for prayer at this point of connection?

Answer: Prayer is the inner desire of the heart. If I desire something in my heart, then I raise my desire to the Creator. This is what prayer means.

Of course, you also need to physically help your friend, especially if he falls. But at the same time, we must understand that the main help is in our prayer, in the desire of our hearts, when we raise ourselves and move toward the Creator.

Caring in the Heart

938.01Each of us must take care that our desires in our hearts are addressed not to ourselves, but to others.

We have a large group. We must face each other and support each other. And then, although one falls a little, the other rises a little.

The Creator acts like this, alternately between us. Therefore, getting used to the fact that we constantly think about the general rise is our big job.

Question: Caring in the heart is caring for the group. I think about the group, I join the ten, and in addition, I try to include the ten in the group; that is, I try to combine these two things that are still separate. How correct is this direction?

Answer: A lot depends on habit. A habit is a special state of our internal properties that we perceive as given to us by nature. Therefore, we should try to behave as if our desires were directed toward each other. Even if this is not the case, we must do everything by force. And then from potential, it will turn into action.

Question: What should we do so as not to miss this moment and “grab the Creator”?

Answer: We need to constantly be in touch between our friends and the Creator. And the rest of our life should be an addition to this.

I see that everything is open before us, we just need to hold on to each other and the global Kli more strongly. This is enormous power! If we use it properly, we will succeed.
