How Can You Achieve the State of One Unified Soul?

942Question: How can one achieve the state of one united soul?

Answer: This is our task. Therefore, the most important commandment given to us from above is to love your neighbor as yourself. Then you will feel your connection with everyone else. And to the extent that you unite with others, the light of the Creator will shine in you more and more.

Question: By constantly connecting with the field of unity, how can one avoid falling into the material world?

Answer: It is possible that you will not be able to hold on. Most likely, you will experience multiple descents. But at the same time, you will ask for the strength to rise and unite again. And this is how you will continually correct yourself.

Congress: A Desire to Build a Temple

945Question: Will we create a Temple for the light of the Creator to enter at the Congress?

Answer: Yes, this is what we want. It is why we gather—to create a unified desire between us in which there will be no transition from one to the other, but everything will be one.

Then in this unified desire, the Creator can be revealed. This is what we need.

Convention: At the Finish Line

936Question: We are at the finish line coming to the convention. Tens are working to their limit if I can put it that way. What is more important at this point: to connect strongly or to ask the Creator to connect us?

Answer: When do you think you will be able to achieve connection?

Comment: When we ask Him together.

My Response: That is exactly what needs to be done.

Comment: So it is essentially one action made up of two parts. Our goal is to connect, but we cannot do it on our own, so a prayer to Him arises.

My Response: Yes, you do so every day until you see that you are connected.

Question: Will the Creator let us know?

Answer: Of course.

How Can We Receive the Force of the Creator at a Convention?

940For this reason, at the time of the giving of the Torah, when they had no doubt that this was the voice of the Creator, it is called “seeing,” as it is written, “I and you shall have no [other Gods], we heard from the mouth of the Creator” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 940, “The Point in the Heart”).

Gevura is the force of the Creator with which He influences us so that we receive strength from Him and can become bestowers.

This is an anti-egoistic force because the Creator is 100% anti-egoist. If we receive a little of this force from Him, we will also become anti-egoists to some extent, and to this extent we will be able to feel the upper world, the Creator, everything: infinity, eternity, perfection. Everything that is impossible to attain in egoism.

Question: At what point do we receive this force and begin to feel it?

Answer: Every day you advance a little. But for now, you do not feel it, like a newborn child who is growing but does not know that he is growing and only afterward begins to realize it more and more.

Question: How can we receive this force now at the congress? I really want to enter these sensations.

Answer: I understand you, but it is not easy. You must be so devoted to your friends so that the connection with them, and through them the connection with the Creator, becomes the most important thing in your life. You must take care that they succeed. Here you will have to open your heart and knead it a little to make it softer.

After the Congress

572.02While he was imparted the desire and thought to at least occasionally do holy work, even in the simplest possible way, if one can appreciate the importance of this, according to the importance one attributes to the holy work, to that extent he should give praise and thanks for it (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 26, “One’s Future Depends and Is Tied to Gratitude for the Past”).

Question: It seemed to me that the convention was conducted on a much lighter note compared to previous ones. It felt like we didn’t exert ourselves as much; there weren’t deep clarifications during the lessons, although from the first moments, a pressure from above was felt.

After the convention, a dense cloud of pleasure descended upon us. It’s unclear whether we deserved it or if it’s an advance that still needs to be earned.

Answer: No, you don’t need to “earn” it; you deserved it. You made a great effort to come, and it wasn’t easy to physically get here. Therefore, all of this was well earned by you.

I am confident that we will begin to better understand our mutual connection and ascend higher and higher on the rungs of the ladder leading upward.

Question: In fact, I want to express deep gratitude for such a powerful convention. Can this gratitude be strengthened by analyzing everything we’ve gone through, or does it come naturally through feelings?

Answer: I believe it is gratitude for the past, present, and future. Baal HaSulam writes that a person says to the Creator, “I thank You for all Your mercy toward me,” meaning for the past. And thanks to this, they can immediately say with confidence, “And for all that You will do for me in the future!”

In other words, a person is grateful to the Creator for everything He has done for them in the past, and for everything He will continue to do from this moment onward. There is no doubt that we will feel the Creator’s benevolent attitude toward us.

Unite in One Desire

947Question: What is the best way to form a desire to unite? Most of the time I am in imaginary pursuits and indifference, but I have to cling to something in a friend. But each friend is different. What should I pay attention to?

Answer: Pay attention to the fact that I want to cling to a friend and he wants the same thing. If you have a joint direction of desire, you will connect and form one common desire, a single form.

Question: But I do not feel this friend. Do I have to enter into some interaction with him?

Answer: Yes, this interaction will gradually find you. You will cling to it and through it to the friend. It starts with the fact that you want to unite with all your friends and reveal that you actually do not have a particular desire for this. You constantly forget about it, push it away, and therefore nothing happens.

Question: How can I unite with a friend who has no love for me? How can I get strength from connection with him?

Answer: You can gain strength by wanting to connect with him, even if you do not know him or feel distant from him. It is only through this desire that you begin to achieve any connection with him.

Question: Does the power we receive come from the ten or the Creator?

Answer: Only from the Creator.

Study the Spiritual Mechanism

264.01Question: If one of the “gears” in the mechanism of the ten is faulty or off-tune, but the friend does not realize it, is it possible for the ten to correct it together? What should we advise him?

Answer: This is about group work between friends. You must study together, tell each other how to act, and strive for a state where you will start this common mechanism in connection with each other, a common soul that will work because of you.

We have to accept these conditions and try to become engaged in them. Within some time (everyone has their own) each of us will eventually agree to work in tune with the rest of the gears, with the rest of the machine.

Question: Maybe we need a new method?

Answer: There are no new methods, because the system originates at the initial state of creation and is directed at its final state. Therefore, all we need is to study the spiritual mechanism a little, and most importantly—try to start it.

Question: That is, we must bow down and understand that the Creator is making this movement over us, and we cannot do anything. Or can we still do something? What is the correct opinion?

Answer: The correct opinion is that you will constantly look for what the Creator wants from you and try to do what He sees fit.

We Are Closer to Each Other than Blood Relatives

571.03Question: Why can representatives from different conflicting countries in the global group have good relationships and embrace each other? We want the external world to be the same. When will that happen?

Answer: Not anytime soon. But we cannot give up and wait. It all depends on us.

Question: If we are blood sisters, it is easy for us to find a connection between each other. How can we also become like family in the ten so it would be easier to melt our hearts and find mutual connection?

Answer: In reality, we are much closer to each other than blood brothers or sisters. So, there is no need to think that there is a great distance between us. We must realize who we are and how separated we are, and this will happen very soon.

Activate the Mechanism of the Spiritual System

117Each and every individual in society is like a wheel that is linked to several other wheels placed in a machine. This single wheel has no freedom of movement in and of itself but continues with the motion of the rest of the wheels in a certain direction to qualify the machine to perform its general function (Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World“).

Our main work is to reveal how interconnected we are and how we must tune ourselves together to be included in the work of this machine, not simply to be driven by it, but to begin to understand how we can activate it. That is our task.

Question: Should we just wait patiently?

Answer: No, absolutely not. Waiting patiently will not help. We must begin to activate ourselves along with the mechanism of the machine, and gradually we will become involved in its collective forward motion. We need to start right now, and the activation comes when we begin to sense its movement and integrate ourselves into it.

Align the Common Desire with the Creator’s Desire

938.01Question: It is written, “As their faces are not similar to one another, their views are not similar to one another.” How can we come to one desire so that it aligns with the Creator’s desire?

Answer: Under the influence of the actions the Creator sets before us, we try to be in one desire, like one person, and thus we become a single body.

And when this body consists, for example, of ten people, it has ten times more strength than if a person were alone.
