According to the desire of the upper force, all people must unite into one spiritual body. That is how we were initially created and then broken so that we would restore our connection through our own searches, efforts, and mutual help. Because of this, we will understand our place in the common system, the exact connection of the pieces of this puzzle, the scattered Lego pieces, and all the advantages of this connection.
If there were no breakage and no necessity to restore the connection, we would be able to feel only primitive existence, the smallest Light on the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels. We would, however, be unable to reach the level of man, Adam, similar to the Creator, the upper force, eternal and perfect.
We must therefore go through a very complex process of development. At first, only the chosen few were able to comprehend the idea of unity and correction in the twenty generations that followed Adam, the first man who revealed the upper force nearly 6,000 years ago, to Abraham. Abraham already started forming groups, tens that overcame their egoism. Today, we continue to work on our connection with the same methodology.
In essence, Abraham started building the human society, a special nation in which everyone is connected. They wanted to reveal the Creator, the upper force within their unity, that would fulfill them and lead them toward complete mutual understanding with the Creator.
We also aspire to reveal the upper force in order to understand what is happening: what does the Creator want from us and what do we want from Him. The final correction of the shattering is that all the people of the world, all of humanity, will be united into a single group.
If even a few groups unite this way, all the others will join in through them. The Creator will complete this work; the main thing for us is to start this connection, like the catalyst for a chemical reaction. We live in an integral system, so if one group can achieve the integral connection, this force will affect everyone and everybody will unite and reveal the Creator, and reach the end of correction.
We participate in workshops, scrutinizing questions in the tens. The most important thing is not to be smart, but to aim toward connection. The work in the tens consists of absorbing the desires, questions, and feelings of each friend sitting across from me. It doesn’t matter how well we understand the answer to the question, the main thing is to expand our spiritual perception, our Kli, by absorbing all the thoughts from our friends.
I do not criticize them, I want to take in all their thoughts and desires, absorb them into myself. That is how I expand my Kli and become suitable for filling it with the upper Light. This is how we expand everybody’s Kli, build a more complex common desire, and eventually reach similarity with the upper Light, and become one whole. Having reached the minimal connection, we can reveal the weakest Light, Nefesh, but we already somewhat begin to feel the Creator, eternity and perfection, the upper Light.
Like a nearsighted man who upon removing his glasses sees blurry contours of people, so do we come to reveal the upper world, at least in its general outlines.1

Fear can be the fear of death, or the fear of uncertainty. What is the difference between fear and trepidation?
When I work with my desire to enjoy out of fear for myself, for my egoism, that is called fear. If I work with my desire for the sake of bestowal to the Creator and I doubt whether I bestow to Him or not without thinking about myself, that is called trepidation.
Fear is where my egoism (for me) is, and trembling is where the Creator (for the Creator) is. Fear is a consequence of the lack of faith.1
Corporeal fear shows that we lack spiritual fear. If I have fear of the Creator, then there no room for corporeal fear; I will elevate it to the spiritual level. It is important why I am doing this: do I want to get rid of the corporeal fear or I am joyful about it because it is an incentive for me to reach trepidation toward the Creator?
Fear is a sensation in the will to receive, and trepidation is in the desire to bestow. Therefore, it is necessary to use fear in a very prudent, minimally possible form since it does not correspond to the good desire of the friends and the good desire of the Creator.
It is necessary to elevate the greatness and the importance of the Creator to the maximum in order for it to be the driving force that pulls us forward, and not fear that pushes us from behind.
I imagine the greatness of Creator, and therefore, I strive toward Him, not in order to hide from the problem but to strive toward the source of goodness. That is, we must steer close toward bestowal to the maximum.2
You only need to be afraid that you will stop thinking about the Creator, that there is none else besides Him who is good and does good, falling into this world and neglecting the Creator instead of appreciating Him, and about disconnecting from the ten and forgetting about your friends.
I am ready to be connected to the Creator, but my connection with Him through the group is constantly disrupted. The Creator is an unchanging force, but the soul, that is, the ten, changes all the time, and because of that I lose it every second. Therefore, I am in fear of losing my soul (Kli), the ten. Suddenly, I will fall and get carried away in the turbulent stream and they will be unable to save me or they will not be able to dig and extract me from my egoistic prison.
If I break away from the ten, it means that I break away from the Creator. If I am separated from the ten but think that I am connected to the Creator, it means that it is not the Creator but a completely opposite direction and I have lost all 180 degrees, as it is written: “Thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob.”3

Our group, Bnei Baruch, is a transitional link between the Creator and humanity. This is our mission, and therefore, we should not be impressed by the ups and downs that should not affect the overall correction process and the personal condition and mood of each of us. We must ensure that the connection between the Creator and the people of Israel, the Creator and all creations, is a connecting channel, thinking only about the fulfillment of this role.
The deeper we understand this role, the more clearly we feel that, on one hand, we are the Creator’s workers, and on the other hand, we serve all creations. This is a permanent job, which was given to us forever.1
It is said: “Make your desire,” that is, the desire of the world, “as the desire of the Creator.” The Creator wishes to give the world a blessing, and we need to arrange the world so that it would want to accept the Creator’s desire, the bestowal from above. Therefore, we need to absorb the desire of the whole creation, properly adapt it, and elevate it to the Creator by combining two aspirations: the Creator’s desire to bestow to the creations, and the creations’ desire to receive what the Creator gives.
In essence, our desire should be corrected to the likeness of Bina, where Keter and Hochma rule in the upper part, and to the lower desire, Malchut, in the lower part. Therefore, we would not have helplessness, descents, and disappointments, just a permanent state defined by the desire of the Creator and the desire of the creations that fill us and oblige us. And we are the point of choice in the center of Bina, which decides that it is obliged to combine these two parts: the highest part is the Creator and the lower part, the creations.2
We have no other desire or any other duty beside the fulfillment of the Creator’s desire for the creations, that is, the creations should get closer to the Creator. And we ourselves are a zero, only an adapter. There can be no swings and falls in such a state, only the constant fulfillment of its mission.3
If we look deeper inside, we will see that there are no people of Israel and people of the world, and this is only the game of the Creator with us from two sides: above and below. There is no one but the Creator, and I am in the middle, between these two forces as a connecting point.
The Creator presents Himself as a supreme force, as a creator, and He presents Himself as the creation. I am placed in the middle between them, and I have to do everything to connect with both forces, absorb the desires of all creations, and include all fulfillments, that is, screens, the power of overcoming from the Creator. Therefore, I perceive the creation as my own soul, which I have to bring to merge with the Creator.
And then I will not despair and be upset that the creations do not want to listen to me and blame me. It does not matter to me because I execute my mission and will not retreat. But the Creator will arrange different states for me: He will light up a little more from above and do something nice, then He will push me from below with blows, and this is also good. I see everything as an aid toward advancement, and therefore, I am not affected by the results. It does not matter how many years it will take, I execute my role, which obliges me to act. It is said: “Anything but leave.”4

What Is Bnei Baruch?
Official Response Of The Israeli Non-Profit Association Bnei Baruch – Kabbalah La’am To The “Investigation” By Corporation “Kaan”
The main spiritual work is to increase the greatness of the Creator. Only the creation decides whether the Creator is great or small. The Creator made a concealment, egoism, which conceals Him from the creation. And the creation must, above this concealment, crown and raise the Creator’s greatness, establish the kingdom by forcefully overcoming all egoistic screens that the Creator covers Himself with.
Everything that happens to us in this world is depicted by the egoistic mind and heart and is an invitation to remove the concealment by increasing the greatness of the Creator with each step. We want to reveal the power of the upper force, beside which nothing else exists.
The Creator conceals Himself in our desire to enjoy, and we must reveal His power from this concealment, declaring that He is the only reason for everything that ever was, is, or will be. That is how we build Him, as it is written: “You have made Me.” Behind all the concealments, we discover that the Creator is the only force in the world.
The more we annul our egoism and attain the qualities of the Creator, His program, the more we can rise and succeed in this work, according to the degree of our annulment.1
We are trying to establish the Creator’s rule despite the complete concealment and lack of taste in the work. And we are trying with all our strength to detect His governance, as if we are trying to peer through the fog or see in the dark. That is how I try to detect that the Creator orchestrates every state, opinion, and desire for me. And I resist this concealment and try to see the Creator through it, to understand that it is Him who is creating this state.2
The main thing that determines our perception of reality is not the situation but it’s cause: “Did my child do this or did someone else? Is the Creator behind it or somebody else with quite opposite intentions?” When we reveal that we live in a completely integral reality where only the single force of the Creator, the purpose of creation, is at work, naturally our perception changes.
It does not mean that we see different images before us; simply, the reason, the source of all that is happening, changes. We reveal the network controlling this whole game: the one who controls all the puppets behind the curtain of this puppet theater.
And He is doing it all for me! But who am I? I am a point in the heart. My puppet is also there, among all the other dolls in this theater of life. But I observe this play from my point in the heart.3
