An Invitation to the Creator’s Palace

938.05Question: It is a special time now, the holidays, and we have the opportunity to take a step forward. How can we be responsible to the Creator for our actions?

Answer: Yes, we have a unique opportunity to connect, reveal the Creator in the connection between us, hold on to Him, and take a step into His palace. I invite you to do this.

Question: But how can we use this opportunity so nothing pulls us in the wrong direction, only forward?

Answer: Hold on to me.

Question: How do we hold on to you? By supporting you and bestowing to you?

Answer: By holding on to each other and the Creator and constantly desiring to stay together so that the Creator is at the center of the ten.

One Condition for All

944Question: It is said that prayer is the main Kli (vessel) for the presence of the Shechina. How can we find out our common Hisaron (deficiency) so that our prayer, our common Hisaron really becomes a Kli for the presence of the Shechina?

Answer: We want to find a common desire, aspiration, and intention in which we would all fit and want nothing else.

Question: What should be the purity of the request so that everyone has literally one thought?

Answer: The vision of our state in the final goal. We can see and feel this based on the fact that together we awaken the desire for the Creator, and He shapes us accordingly.

Question: How would you describe this state in the final goal that we should equally imagine?

Answer: I would imagine it as one desire, one state for everyone.

The Ten Is Your Soul

528.01Question: I should always ask for my ten. But I have many friends all over the world. Is it right to ask for your ten first, then for the whole world Kli, and then for the whole world?

Answer: Let’s say you have many friends in the world Kli besides your ten. How should you ask? First for your ten, then for them? Or through your ten for them? Or leave your ten and ask for them?

The question is very specific, and I advise you to understand it clearly. You have nothing outside the ten. The ten is your soul. And if you ask for something or someone else, you should ask only through it.

You can ask your friends to unite to ask for someone outside the ten. But it must be a request from the whole ten. You cannot take your mind off it for anything else.

You can physically help someone in the world, but spiritually, you can only care for someone through your ten.

The Point of Connection in the Ten

934Question: Is it necessary to develop sensitivity to broken connections in the ten in order to realize spiritual suffering?

Answer: We do not need to realize spiritual suffering or think about it. We need to build ourselves on spiritual achievements.

Question: What is the identifier of the point of connection for the ten?

Answer: A common connection.

Question: What will each of us feel at this point?

Answer: If each person desires to enter this point of connection, they will feel the same as you do.

A Place for Correction

282.01Question: What is the place we need to provide for correction?

Answer: The place for correction is our desires, which we must transform from egoistic to altruistic.

In order for this place to become a vessel (Kli) for the Shechina, we must try to convince ourselves that we can only work with desires of bestowal.

Question: How do we properly integrate into the desire of another so that it becomes a Kli that can be filled?

Answer: It is not easy. It all depends on the nature of the other person’s desire. If it is already corrected toward bestowal, then there are no problems. But if it is still uncorrected and in an egoistic state, you first need to help the person correct it, and only then connect to that desire and ascend together with it.

Enjoy Working for the Creator

293.1Question: In which Kelim does a Kabbalist feel correct spiritual joy?

Answer: In the Kelim of bestowal. He feels joy from the fact that he acts for others, for the Creator.

Question: How can one truly enjoy working for the Creator?

Answer: The Creator’s desire is for us to be in constant maximum connection with each other and to reach Him directly based on this connection. These two areas need to be prepared and strengthened.

Question: How can you annul oneself correctly in order to feel the joy that pleases the Creator?

Answer: To do this you need to go through several states: first, completely annul yourself, then imagine yourself in the quality of bestowal, which you include in the Creator, and then you will be able to feel this state and will rejoice in it.

Explore Your Feelings

88 “Turn away from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it” (Psalms 34).

There are two forces in the world that give man the motivating force that will compel him to revoke his rest force. That is, the force of rest, which is in the qualities of the soul, yields to two other forces, meaning become revoked, and by this the soul takes upon itself the force of movement: 1) the rejecting force, 2) the attracting force.

The rejecting force is from something bad and loathsome that compels one to run away. The attracting force is good and nice things that one is compelled to chase. However, a single force, whether attracting or rejecting, is insufficient to revoke the force of rest.

“Turn away from evil” is called the “rejecting force,” if a person feels that it is bad. “Do good” is called the “attracting force” if a person feels that this is good and he must chase it and obtain it.

“Seek peace and pursue it.” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 219, “Seek Peace and Puruse It“)

Question: How can we rely on these feelings if we are not yet corrected? Should we experience them somehow?

Answer: You should experience them. You should explore them. You should understand where they lead you and what the Creator wants from you when He gives you such desires.

When you know this, then all your desires will become very clear, and you will move only toward the right goal.

Question: What helps us not get confused between the traditional choice of “pleasant—unpleasant” and the true choice of “striving for good and avoiding evil”?

Answer: It helps that we strive to get out of the control of good and evil, which we want to feel instead of “good—bad.” We must realize this aspiration in our connections and help each other.

Switch to Connection with the Creator

938.04Question: What is the internal movement where you can switch yourself to connection with the Creator, although you do not clearly feel Him?

Answer: It happens when a person realizes that everything that has happened to him, has happened by the Creator’s will, and now it is time for him to make his movement toward the Creator. And that is how he acts.

Question: How can one force himself into a state of connection with the Creator?

Answer: Through the same exercises we always do. The Creator purposely gives us these exercises to confuse and cool us. And we, on the contrary, strive to rise up to Him.

Therefore, create strength, ask Him in unison with the whole ten that He raise you to Himself, that you want to take hold of each other and Him.

Come to a Single Prayer

938.04Question: Who reveals Hisaron (deficiency) to a friend: one’s evil inclination or the Creator?

Answer: The Creator.

Question: Can a person raise his own Hisaron to the Creator or do his friends have to?

Answer: He does it with them together.

Question: We often raise our friend’s Hisaron to the Creator so He would connect us on a new level. But there is a fear that a person’s condition could change, and he would be filled in his egoistic Kelim; for example, he will be cured, find a job, etc. How do we work with that?

Answer: We do not consider the side effects because the most important thing for us is to feel united in a single intention in which the Creator would be revealed.

Question: How can we wish to come to a single prayer? Is it very hard?

Answer: It is not very hard. You must start from afar and gradually narrow the field of view so the Creator is in its center.

Question: So we don’t have to wait for some abstract Hisaron, but should work with one the Creator reveals to us now?

Answer: Of course. At any given moment, you can manifest it.

So that the Creator May Fulfill Our Request

938.01Question: How can we make our prayer truly effective?

Answer: You need to encourage each other so that everyone feels a desire to rise higher and pull everyone else along, like when climbing a mountain. Then you will receive the Creator’s response, which will definitely satisfy you.

Question: Can Kabbalists encourage each other like this to make a collective ascent during a lesson or a congress?

Answer: Of course, they can. That is exactly what they do. It only seems to us that an ascent can happen in one move, but that is not true. Here we encounter problems that we must solve at every moment and divide our spiritual progress strictly according to our capacities; meaning, we need to give it more attention in order to remain in the quality of bestowal and constantly ask the Creator to fulfill us.

Question: We say that we do not strive for suffering but for unity. But if there is no suffering, I would not want to ascend. How do we break this cycle?

Answer: Your friends will help you with that. When you feel yourself in an ascent, through your connection with them, you will also feel yourself in a descent. This will create the desire in you to connect with them and rise together.
