If it is said that “There is none else besides the Creator,” then how can a person act independently? The only action of a person is that from time to time he feels and attains more and more that there is no one else besides the Creator, there is no other force in the world that can give and do something—only Him.

You should not neglect any states, but rather, you need to connect them all together into a single desire, a special decision, into one collective Kli (vessel). Then we will see that this Kli has a unique form in which the Creator, the ultimate purpose of creation, is revealed, and we all become included in it.

The concept of time is important here. A person needs to try to always be connected to what is felt in the heart and to let this feeling lead him to the goal, to connection above reason, against the arguments of reason. But he still keeps going and gradually begins to understand what is required of him and how he should prepare himself to reach a state that is called spiritual, above reason.

A miracle happens, and a person begins to reveal their first connection with the Creator. They feel that they have now reached a special spiritual state where the contact with the upper force is revealed to them.

A person does not know in advance that this will happen, but one continues to strive toward the Creator for a long time and desires to reveal a connection with Him. It is called a miracle because it comes suddenly, without any apparent signs of approaching, and reveals itself suddenly like a gift.

A person is required to make efforts toward this revelation, but in doing so, they see no connection between their requests and what they receive in their understanding and feeling at the moment of the revelation of truth.

How can we feel deeply in our hearts that we need to ask the Creator to help us unite to come to love for our friends and reach the purpose of creation, to reveal the Creator?

To do this, we need to make room in our hearts, understand that this heart is empty and wants to be filled with such requests. Then we will awaken the heart, which will have only one request left: that it lacks the Creator. And we will very much want to feel how He fills our hearts.

I hope that we are approaching this state. Among us, there are people who already feel how the Creator is beginning to fill each person’s heart. We need to focus even more on this. The main thing is to just ask, to beg, as much as possible, and not stop, not despair. The Creator is ready to fill our hearts, and this will definitely happen.

Let’s go through this day all together in one heart, in a common hope that the Creator will come closer and fill our hearts.

First of all, we need to receive the light of faith from the Creator. It should fill all the space in a person’s heart and let us feel this light of faith coming to us from the Creator.

What is required on our part is the desire to attain faith. Then, to the extent of this desire, this feeling of lack, we will receive this light that will fill our hearts from the Creator. This is the very first action we need to take.

Then in the light of faith, which to some extent fills our hearts, we need to continue further. The more we lack the light of faith, the greater our ability to receive fulfillment that can turn into a new feeling of lack.

Faith can only be increased by strengthening our request, by striving for it, discussing, clarifying it more deeply, and then our desire grows.

Sometimes people complain that the spiritual path takes such a long time—years. But the only advice is to be patient and continue scrutinizing what exactly is necessary and the result will be revealed. Again and again, we should try to connect with the friends and turn to the Creator in order to ask once more.

A person alone cannot do much; the acceleration of time depends only on the group. If we unite, we can hasten time.

Therefore, one should calm down. If a person already understands that it is impossible to change their nature by their own efforts and that it can only be received from the Creator, then they must seek the right means that will lead them to the goal. Then he comes to the wisdom of Kabbalah, performs the actions advised by Kabbalists, and thus breaks through.

I think that very soon we will feel how we all are rising on the wings of an eagle.

Question: Will faith above reason always contradict reason? Or can we reach a state where this contradiction disappears?

Answer: Faith will always contradict reason. But it is through it that we can rise higher and higher, while reason will receive only what we attain.

Question: In Rabash’s articles, does the term “Adam” refer to an individual or the ten as one man?

Answer: No, it simply refers to an individual, one person.

Question: Toward what thought or feeling should we all strive simultaneously to move from a dead point? Can you give us some advice?

Answer: I constantly give you advice and hope you listen to it. You need to keep getting closer to each other, more and more. I do not see any problems. The fact is that it takes time.

You can read in the writings of Baal HaSulam or Rabash that this path takes ten, even twenty years. When I first heard this, I was ready to grab Rabash and demand he accelerate my spiritual progress.

But it is designed this way so that our efforts extend throughout the duration of our attempts, and in this way, we perform the complete work of connection.

Question: Man’s main job is to come to a sense of the Creator’s reality. Achieving It can only be through prayer. How can a person keep the prayer that he must come to this feeling within oneself?

Answer: Strive for the Creator always and keep the desire to attain Him in your heart.

Question: Reason prevents us from going in faith above reason. How do we use reason correctly so that it helps us rise above ourselves?

Answer: To do this you need to unite with each other so that everyone can help a friend rise a little bit. If you work together to influence everyone in the ten in this way, you will be able to rise.

Question: When there is a great desire to get closer to the Creator, it is a good state. But what if a person feels the Creator a little bit, then is it not very good anymore?

Answer: It is okay to keep developing this feeling and try to increase it.

Question: When we raise our prayer, should we strive to reveal the Creator or should we pray for the entire world Kli to reveal Him, or maybe even the whole world?

Answer: It is hard to say. It depends on who we are talking to.

In principle, it is important that a person who hears us feels how concerned we are about the internal state of the world. Through our dissemination, we want to convey our inner trepidation to humanity.

Question: If I am constantly fulfilled from meetings with my friends, what will lead me to cry out with the true prayer that we must come to? It seems to me that this joy and fulfillment after meetings takes me away from the goal.

Answer: There is a prayer that leads to the Creator, and there is a prayer that distances one from the Creator, which depends on what a person wants. Therefore, at first, we just want to find out how to unite between ourselves and the Creator in order to make Him bring us closer to Himself. This is the most important thing. This is what we want to achieve first of all.

Question: And how can I compel the Creator?

Answer: Through words, through prayer.

Question: But the Creator does not hear our words.

Answer: He hears, not your words, but your heart. It does not matter what language we speak; the main thing is that we experience the right feelings.

Question: But my heart is busy with fulfillment and pleasure; there is no place in it for crying, for prayer.

Answer: That is what you need to think about and decide which is more important to you: to feel the fulfillment of your heart or its emptiness. As soon as you want to feel the true state of the heart, that is, its emptiness, it will tell you how to proceed.

Question: So after every meeting, I should feel dissatisfied like you did when you studied with Rabash and felt empty and annoyed that you did not understand anything?

Answer: We must feel both suffering and joy.
