Question: There is a very high concentration of love at the convention, and everyone feels it. We read that we must awaken the hearts of our friends.

What else can we do so that this concentration can be felt anywhere in our world Kli and especially by those who could not come?

Answer: You just need to think about them, write, and contact them.

Question: All ten of us came here except for one friend, and it was as if part of my heart remained there. How do we collect all our parts here including that friend?

Answer: The most important thing is that if you and your friends imagine that you are in one single desire; you want to feel only that. Then it will work out.

After each ten reaches its center and desires to act from this center toward the Creator, it obtains the same aspiration to connect as a single ten with other tens. Then the collective force present in the entire ten unites with the collective forces of other tens, and their common force begins to act. It is as if two drops of water merge into one, and the law that acted on each drop separately now acts on both of them together.

At the convention, we need to quickly go through all the steps leading us to general unity.

First, we unite within our own ten to become as one person, and then from our common center, we seek the central points of all other tens.

The center of the group is the state we want to achieve. When we already feel our ten united as one person with one heart, we want to connect with other tens.

Every gathering has a purpose, a collective force that comes from the center of our unity, from the center of the convention. At the convention, we must try to feel how we direct this force from the center of the convention to the center of all reality where our meeting with the Creator takes place. According to how we strive toward this common center for all of us, we will be able to feel Him.

The group feels that it is increasingly uniting and merging into a single whole, and then from this unity, we want to extract a force directed straight to the Creator.

Opening one’s heart is not easy at all. Even if it seems to me that I have managed to open my heart, it does not necessarily mean that it has truly opened. It is possible for the heart to remain closed, perhaps even more than before.

That is why we should listen to what Baal HaSulam says, strive to understand him, and put it into practice: One cannot correct one’s thought, but should only aim the heart – make one’s heart straight to the Creator. Then all of his thoughts and actions will naturally be to bestow contentment upon his Maker (Shamati 68).

If a person carries out such spiritual work, they open their heart more and more, and progress forward. The heart represents desire, and when he corrects his heart…, the heart will then be the Kli in which to place the upper light. And when the upper light shines in the heart, the heart will grow stronger and he will add and supplement continuously.

The heart shows a person the path to strengthen and move forward. There must be a sense within the heart that one is on the right degrees, ascending accordingly.

One must constantly check where the heart is leading. Then, the person will feel whether the heart is pulling them in a specific direction or allowing them the freedom to act.

Question: What is the courage of the heart?

Answer: The courage of the heart is when a person feels that they can rise up now and become as if a representative of all the people gathered at the convention.

Question: How can we build and maintain such a connection so that we can instantly react and even anticipate the attacks of the evil inclination?

Answer: We must truly imagine how we can be in a state where everyone is connected to one another.

Question: How does the group rise to the Creator?

Answer: The group rises to the Creator to the extent that it becomes connected.

Question: What is this desire that opens our hearts and even persuades the Creator to unite us?

Answer: Ask the Creator, not me.

Question: What is spiritual war?

Answer: Spiritual war is when I fight with my Kelim (egoistic desires).

Question: We learn that the evil inclination is the separation between us and the Creator is the connection between us. Can we try to interact with each other not through the membrane of our egoism but through the Creator now so that He would be like a conduit between us?

Answer: That is correct. This is how we should act. But how? I cannot tell you that. But you have already guessed half of it; so keep trying.

Question: You said that starting from this convention and onward, you see that the center or core of the group will advance from convention to convention. How can one be in this center? What commitments should a person take upon themselves in order to progress? What did you mean?

Answer: I believe that from lesson to lesson, even at this convention, you will receive special assignments, instructions, and recommendations that will create a space between you where you will begin to reveal spiritual qualities, a spiritual field. What we will go through together, we will try to stay connected to this field at all times. Right now, we are not going to determine who enters this space and who does not, as that would be the wrong approach.

This is what I meant. We will be working exclusively on this spiritual field, which we ourselves create between us. From there, we will begin to ascend the spiritual degrees.

Question: You always recommend that we think about unity. How can we help each other realize this condition?

Answer: Imagine that you are connecting with everyone and want to do everything so that your collective unity would reflect the upper light.

Question: At the convention, all the parts that fell from one soul have gathered. How do we now unite these parts? And is there a density of the unification, or can we unite more and more?

Answer: This is not your problem. This is done with the help of the upper light on the degrees of the Creator. So do not stumble over this.

Question: If we have no lack (need), then where is the place for prayer?

Answer: When the light affects you, then the deficiencies felt in the still uncorrected desires will appear.

Question: On ordinary days, when a lesson or Zoom begins, my inner egoism, this donkey, constantly resists; it doesn’t want to go to the lesson, it makes me look at my watch, and I tell it: “Shut up, leave me alone!”

But here, at the convention, there is so much love and so much light that this donkey sits silently, and it likes everything. Does this mean that the work has stopped?

Answer: No, the work has not stopped. You simply connect your desire with the desires of your friends, and this huge desire affects your feelings and presses on them. And all this leads to the fact that you will feel yourself together with your friends as one desire in the center of creation.

World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 3

Question: What could be done now to achieve Lishma?

Answer: For this you need to assemble such a ten that would reveal to you the internal structure of the entire universe, and then you could feel how you are approaching its center.

Question: What efforts must be multiplied in order to enter Lishma?

Answer: Becoming closer in our hearts is the only thing we lack. Each one must examine his own heart, what he really desires, and thus appeal to his friends and strive toward the common goal.

World Kabbalah Convention”Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 3

We must feel like we are seeking contact with the Creator so that it is constant, does not disappear, and strengthens more and more. We need to constantly strive to renew it, so that all our friends hold on to this connection and think every minute about how we can cling even more tightly to the Creator and under no circumstances tear ourselves away from Him.

Let us try to do this practically, when everyone wants to sharpen all his or her feelings and everything that is in each one, so that one’s inner striving is directed only toward the Creator, so much so that the person is not interested in anything else besides this.

Whatever we do in the world, in life, at work, or in the family, the most important thing is that every moment of life brings us closer to the Creator. We have to live with this.

Tomorrow, the International Kabbalah Convention begins. Every second, new friends from all over the world are arriving, and tomorrow, they will be joined by friends from across Israel. In the physical center of the convention in Israel alone, more than two and a half thousand people will participate.

What guidance can be given here? Simply to wish each one to desire to feel others within their heart. This is the most correct and beautiful intention.

Strive to be as close to one another as possible, and do not utter a single word that is not aimed at clarifying love.
