I should try not to feel the distance between me and my friends, and the more I eliminate this distance, the greater my chances of feeling the Creator. If my internal connection with the Creator and my friends is so strong that for me there is no difference between us, then I get the opportunity to reveal the Creator, to feel Him with all my desires, with all my organs.

It cannot be that the Creator is further away from me than a friend. On the contrary, when I feel my friends so close as if they touch my skin, my inner qualities, then I can reveal and feel the Creator.

It is necessary to eliminate the distance between me and my friends in everything: in my mind and in my heart, in all my hopes and desires, to feel them with all my heart and soul. And this means not just hugging but getting closer internally. It may not even manifest itself in external actions, but it must be a movement of the heart.

Of course, at first I feel the distance between me and my friend, the discrepancy between our qualities. But the more I think about how to get closer to him, to connect as one person with one heart, the more clearly I can imagine the Creator who is between us, as it is said: “You made Me.”

We get closer to our friends to such an extent that we unite all our desires, thoughts, dreams, and aspirations, and then we feel that the Creator is between us. It is by the fact that we try to feel us all as one person with one heart, one common thought, one desire, one aspiration, in one embrace—by this effort we build the Creator.

We merge our hearts so much that there is no other place left for the Creator but to fill our hearts. We define a place for the Creator as the place of our common heart. Our connection in which there are no other vacant places determines the place for the Creator.

Question: What kind of renewal should we do at the beginning of the year in order to be worthy and to build a building suitable for the light of the Creator?

Answer: All we need to do is to achieve a connection between us, a connection of love or at least friendship and support. If we achieve this, we will move precisely to the Creator; we will reach and reveal Him in the center of the connection between us.

Where we connect together in one desire, there will be the center of the ten and the center of the Creator.

Question: It is said that according to the root, the whole order of life is built and continues. How can we build the root of love between us so that all subsequent branches this year will lead us to this wave of love?

Answer: It is very simple. We must constantly unite together and define a place for the Creator between us.

We connect our hearts so that He has no choice but to fill them. The place for the Creator is our common heart. The Creator Himself does not need a place. When there are no empty spaces left in our connection, this will be the place for the Creator.

Question: No matter how hard I try, I always have the feeling that the Creator does not seem to accept my efforts, as if He further inflames my desire to please Him.

Will I ever feel that I am bringing Him contentment? Or will the Creator let me feel that I am still doing something wrong?

Answer: It is wonderful that the Creator shows all the time that He is dissatisfied with you. This ignites you and gives you the opportunity to make an even greater effort, to strive even more toward Him. This is the best help that the Creator can give to a person.

Question: In Rosh HaShanah, you need to judge yourself. This is associated with self-criticism: how bad I am, how different I am from the Creator. How does this vigilante justice differ from the state when “The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh”?

Answer: You should not eat your own flesh, curse, and judge yourself. You should only direct yourself to love others. This is “judging yourself.”

Question: How can you not judge friends?

Answer: Love them.

Question: When we are in the thought of building a common state, there is a feeling of unity as if the Creator lifts us in His arms.

But when we try to get closer to our friends in action, our heart turns to stone as if we were given the feeling of the true state. What should our request be here?

Answer: The request should be for the Creator to dissolve your heart so it will float in your friends.

Question: In Rabash’s article “Concerning Respecting the Father” it is written that if he is receiving a greater reward each day, then the gauge is the vessels of reception. What is the reward in this context, and what do we measure by the vessels of reception?

Answer: The extent to which I feel obliged to the Creator and the extent to which I can thank Him is called that I can bestow to Him?

Question: How can I determine that my pleasure comes from serving the Creator?

Answer: If you pass it through the friends, through the group.

Question: If my boss calls me at work, I will do everything he says, I will try diligently. But if the Creator, on whom every moment in my life depends, asks me to love my friends, I cannot do it. I want to, but I cannot. This is a horrible and terrible state, I would call it hell. What do I need to do?

Answer: Just ask the Creator for the friends, and nothing else.

Question: How does one come to the realization of who the Creator is?

Answer: It is a force that resides in your subconscious and controls you.

Question: Can a person by himself consciously move to the left line and check how he feels the importance of the Creator within reason, or is the Creator taking him there?

Answer: A person has no right to be in the left line. The Creator takes him into it.

Question: Is the importance of spirituality higher when I see others as great or when I am in a state of “bare and destitute”?

Answer: When you see others as great.

Question: What is the most important thing for new couples of men and women who are studying in Kabbalah to build the Creator between them, and how can they help each other on the spiritual path?

Answer: They should love each other and want to be together in one heart.

Today is a special memorial day for Baal HaSulam, Rav Yehuda Ashlag, the great Kabbalist who paved the way for us that leads to the correction of the world. Thanks to him, we know how to behave in order not to make mistakes and stray from the path of the Creator.

Baal HaSulam’s methodology is based on the achievements of Kabbalists who lived before him. That is why we are grateful that we have such a teacher and that we can be his disciples, follow him in his way, and be sure that we will achieve the goal of creation in this lifetime.

Baal HaSulam left us many Kabbalistic articles and books and also taught his students, and most importantly, his eldest son, Baruch Ashlag (Rabash), who described the entire method of spiritual work suitable for our days, our time, for the souls descending into the world today.
