Learn to Appreciate the Gifts of the Creator

275Question: The Creator gives us gifts all the time. He created the evil inclination to shade Himself, gave us a method so that we would feel how to approach Him. Now He is ready to give us the quality of bestowal. How can we learn to appreciate these gifts, recognize them, learn from them, and be grateful?

Answer: We should try to connect with each other so that there are no contradictions or disturbances between us that would prevent us from relating to the Creator with one feeling, with one heart.

Try to adjust yourself so that everyone has one single desire of the heart, and by turning it to the Creator, you will begin to feel the manifestation of the Creator to you in this desire.

Question: Is this a test that we have become closer to the Creator?

Answer: This is not just a test but an action.

Become an Intermediary between the Creator and the Friends

938.02Question: There is a place called “the love of the friends for me” and there is a place called “my love for the friends.” Are these different things?

Answer: Absolutely different. The love of the friends for me is manifested in their desire. “My love for my friends” is in my desire.

But the Creator reveals himself in both places: in my desire for the friends and in the desire of the friends for me.

Question: I suffer that I cannot bestow and bring contentment to my friends, and at the same time I rejoice that the Creator wants and can do it. I want to become an intermediary between the Creator and my friends in order to bring contentment to them. Is this the right desire, and how to come to it?

Answer: Everyone should be in such a state. And then everyone will unite with the Creator and with his friends to be a link between the whole group, everyone in the group, and the Creator. So, that is very good.

Question: How can you give to the group and not see the benefit for yourself?

Answer: With one’s heart. Try to include your friends in your heart and also enter into their hearts. And in this common mutual heart, you will always approach each other until you feel the Creator, that you are in Him and He is in you.

The Greatness of the Shechina

509Question: What is the Shechina (Divinity)?

Answer: The feeling in a person that the Creator clothes into him and fills him is called the Shechina. The Creator or Shechina are one and the same.

Question: How does the greatness of the Shechina in my eyes affect my friends and reality in general?

Answer: In a direct way. The greatness of the Shechina is the greatness of the Creator, the greatness of His force and the envelopment of the entire universe by His force. We have no other problems here, except to feel and reveal the greatness of the Creator. This is the most important thing for us.

Then we will be able to address Him correctly, not forget about Him, and understand that we depend only on Him. We need to tell all of humanity about this.

Everything in the world rests solely on revealing the greatness of the Creator. The first to receive it was a group of people that came out of Babylon. They called themselves “Yehudim” from the word “Yihud,” unity. At one time, they united with each other precisely in order to attain the Creator. They must correctly present the singularity of the Creator to the whole world.

The Taste of Dust in Spiritual Work

243.05Question: You said that the taste of dust is a state of indifference when one does not feel anything. But there is a feeling of rejection when I just want to run away. With indifference, it is still possible to do something through the mind, but with rejection, there is absolutely no strength for anything. What is the difference between these states?

Answer: The difference is very big. We must try to draw ourselves through the group to the Creator. It should all be in front of us. There is me and there is the Creator, and the group is between us. And I, embracing the group and being in it, carry myself and the group to the Creator.

Question: Egoism always wants to convince us that if we feel that this is bad, then this really is so, and it is better not to do anything. How should one act in this state?

Answer: Only through the group.

Question: If the group does not react and is inactive, do I also have to be inactive?

Answer: No, we still need to pull our friends through ourselves to the Creator. We need to show an example.

Question: How should one react correctly to the taste of dust in the work: agree, endure, or ask to renew the taste?

Answer: In different ways. I do not want to limit you in anything. The most important thing is for everyone to pull the group forward. You can consult with the group.

Surrounding Light from the Future

931.01Time is a feeling of lack. Lack stretches time for us; it multiplies seconds like a bargaining chip. Therefore, time can be reduced.

As we unite, we increase the radiance of the surrounding light on us and thus attract the future to us. By influencing our connection, we can influence the light that will be revealed between us. It turns out that we have the ability to change and determine the general state of all reality.

After all, if we rise in our connection at all levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human, then everything turns out to be in our hands and in the end depends only on our unification.

The surrounding light is the light that shines around the soul and is waiting for it to be able to clothe itself in it in proportion to the connection that has arisen between the parts of the soul. And then the future turns into the present, into the inner light.

Overcoming

528.04Question: What does it mean to work for the Creator? Is it when we work on overcoming rejection and disagreement, annul ourselves, and experience a state of lowliness from this?

Answer: It is necessary to overcome rejection only in the connection between us and not individually. It will not do anything. It is only in the connection. This is called overcoming.

Question: Is it when the ten connects and asks the Creator?

Answer: At least a few people from the ten.
