A prayer of many rises before the Creator, and the Creator crowns Himself with that prayer since it rises in several ways. This is because one asks for Hassadim, the other for Gevurot, and a third for Rachamim. And it consists of several sides: the right side, the left, and the middle.

But a prayer of one does not comprise all the sides; it is only on one way. Either one asks for Hassadim or Gevurot or Rachamim.

Hence, a prayer of one is not erected to be received like the prayer of many, as it does not include all three lines like the prayer of many (Zohar for All, “VaYishlach,” Item 45).

In order to come to the common prayer, a prayer for all as one whole, to become one, it is necessary to go through very difficult states of inner scrutiny and to understand that:

1. The spiritual goal is more important than all other goals.

2. It is impossible to reach it alone but only by creating one common yearning from individual yearnings, and then it will be similar to the Creator and the upper light will fill it.

Therefore, only such a request, such a prayer, can be heard, meaning it can cause the corrective action of the upper light.

Reading The Book of Zohar causes us to understand that we must be together because without exiting ourselves it is impossible to reach bestowal, the qualities of the Creator, to exist in the upper world.

It is said: “From the love for the created beings to the love for the Creator.” The Creator gave us the illusion that there are many people around us, and we must destroy this illusion, understand that all this is inside of me, and ask Him to unite the whole world within me.

Then the prayer of many will turn into a true prayer of one.

The upper expects only a reaction from us. Portions of light come from the upper to the lower (to each of us), and require us to respond correctly. The upper knows exactly what is happening to the lower one, what state the lower one is in, because He forms this state for him.

Of course, the upper one knows what the lower one is ready for. He arranges for him all the external and internal conditions for free choice and leaves to the lowest only one thing incomprehensible and unknown to the lower—the middle third of Tifferet (Klipat Noga). It is in this state that the lower one must form the middle line himself.

If the lower one, in response to the influence of the upper one, correctly builds the middle line, it means that he has been awarded. Then he really inclined himself and the whole world (the whole environment that the upper formed for him at that moment) to good.

Therefore, all that is required of the lower, when he feels a lack (Hisaron), is to turn to the upper and get the component that he lacks from Him in order to incline himself and the whole world to good.

After all, the lowest lacks knowledge, sensation, and then the ability to decide. He must receive all this from the upper.

The upper one leaves him a Klipat Noga so that the lower one wishes to turn to Him and get what he lacks. If the lower one is ready to receive this filing for the Klipat Noga, then he receives it, and this is the additional force of bestowal that he acquires at the current degree, and due to it rises to the next degree.

Man needs a weak body and a strong soul, one that prevails with strength. And then the Creator loves him (Zohar for All, Vol.3, Chapter “VaYeshev”).

The will to receive is called the body, and the spiritual force is called the soul. The stronger the soul is than the body, the more opportunities a person has to advance correctly.

How can we make the soul stronger than the body? When we yearn to connect, our connection becomes stronger and stronger. In this way, we rise higher and higher until we begin to feel the Creator, the true reality, the upper worlds, and the spiritual degrees. It all depends on the level of our connection with each other.

Through the increasingly strong connection, we ascend the degrees of revelation to ever greater and greater levels of sensation.

By studying The Book of Zohar, each person clarifies for himself exactly what is necessary for his soul.

Therefore, when we are reading The Zohar, each of us receives his own impressions that are different from the others.

The whole narrative of The Zohar must pass through us. But a person develops not under the influence of the narrative itself, but due to the reforming light.

It shines on a person’s desire, on his matter, which contains information genes (Reshimot). This is similar to the work of stem cells, which are the foundations of all human cells.

The light affects our matter, and Reshimot that are characteristic and specific for this soul awaken inside the matter, and, with the help of the light, these Reshimot build out of the matter any structure, a part of the soul.

Each person has his own structure of the soul.

Can a strong, connected Kabbalistic ten overcome all the problems we encounter in life? Overcoming problems means accepting them as sent by the Creator since there is no other force in the world, and then trying to convert these difficulties from problems into mercy through your connection in the ten, which is growing stronger and stronger.

That is, we need to see that these problems come only to help us connect and advance even more. In this way, the Creator gives us the opportunity to connect and come closer to Him.

The strong ten is connecting so as to become one powerful force capable of canceling all judgments, and even more to turn these judgments into mercy. Due to this, we connect with each other even more and rise up.

If the Creator gives a person a serious illness, the most correct thing is to adhere to the Creator as much as possible together with all the friends, with the entire ten. To pray all the time and ask to adhere to the friends even more tightly until you completely dissolve into them, as if you do not exist at all, as if you are fully dissolved inside the group. Through this, all diseases and all problems go away and disappear.
