Question: How can the quality of suffering point to the action the Creator expects from us?

Answer: It is pretty simple. The Creator always awaits only one action—unification with others and a request for Him to fill everyone. That is all.

Question: Sometimes there is a lack of a specific connection with some part of the Kli, which we cannot always determine. Perhaps it is possible to understand precisely where this connection is missing from suffering.

Answer: Keep stubbornly moving forward, and you will see that the Creator exposes this connection and is waiting for you.

Question: You said we need to build connections based on our achievements, not on what we lack. So should we not pay much attention to what we lack in our connections?

Answer: You should be mindful of it, but not in a way that stops you.

Question: We want to give all power to the Creator. How should we relate to the fact that some people try to seize power over others? What should the reaction in our hearts be in relation to the Creator?

Answer: Everyone works for themselves. Therefore, if my friend chooses something for himself in spirituality, I do not interfere.

Question: We see that there is a very fierce struggle for power. What should we do: nullify ourselves or pray for everything to change? It seems that we do not obey the Creator.

Answer: We must go through what Rabash writes about in our desires. And then we will develop the right attitude toward our actions.

Question: We say that we are correcting the connection between us. If I do not feel a Hisaron (deficiency) in my friend even though he has problems, should I work on my feelings and use shame? Is it correct not to wait for the Creator to reveal it to me but to somehow activate these forces within myself?

Answer: You wish to connect with your friends and find a new source of energy in your unity that will bind you together, reveal new qualities in you, and push you to make a collective step forward, which was not the case before. This is what you want to achieve.

Question: So should I simply disconnect from personal interests and focus on the collective desire to reveal the Creator?

Answer: Of course. You should have this desire even before the lesson.

Comment: But my friend’s corporeal concerns are my spiritual concerns. He may be facing problems right now.

Answer: Do not take that into account, it will only distract us from the goal.

Question: Could Adam HaRishon have revealed the Creator as the good that does good if he had not eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil?

Answer: That is correct. That is why the Creator orchestrated a specific fall for Adam so he would descend into his egoism and through this egoism come to understand the qualities of giving and love and transform it into altruism. It turns out that the Creator created the evil, and from this evil man makes good. And although we do not perceive it this way, in the end, we achieve this result.

It turns out that the Creator, who created us and our world, made us fall from our initial level and lose the attribute of faith. Nevertheless, we keep moving forward, unite with one another, and we thus reach a state of return where we can draw closer to the Creator and say with an open heart that we wish to be connected to Him.

Question: What does the revelation of the Creator between us mean? How do we feel it?

Answer: The attainment of the Creator between us occurs when each person sees the Creator, who is revealed before him in others.

Question: While not on spiritual levels, can we reveal Him or not?

Answer: No. How could we? He is revealed only on condition that we unite and desire that our unity reveals the Creator to each of us.

Question: So are all the ideas that those who come to Kabbalah have about some connection with the Creator false?

Answer: In general, yes.

Question: It is said that if a person does not believe that there is something divine present within the concealment, then he flees from the battlefield. We seem to understand this, but why is it so difficult to believe in practice that there is something divine present within the concealment?

Answer: I don’t think it’s difficult. And who creates this concealment? It is a special action of the Creator, and another special action is His revelation. Both are done by Him.

We need nothing but the right prayer, the right request to the Creator to remove this concealment. And when you feel that everything is revealed before you, you will simply be amazed at what you can see, feel, and be filled with. It will lift you up as if you have become a balloon.

Question: How can you infect a ten with your Hisaron?

Answer: If we are connected to each other in the ten as much as possible and we begin to talk about our states, then we come to the realization of why we are together, why we cannot be connected more than now, and the reason for our spiritual illnesses and suffering. In this way, we come to the point of turning to the Creator and asking Him for healing.

Question: If a person physically suffers from some disease, is this help for a spiritual growth?

Answer: Of course this is help. After all, a person could be sick and not feel that he is sick, or die and not feel that he must die. Therefore, all feelings concerning pain, illness, and healing that the Creator evokes in a person are necessary in order to help him recover.

Question: How do we establish a dialogue with the ten as with the Creator that includes the whole world?

Answer: It depends on your states within the ten and outside of it.

Question: What is more important, dialogue with the ten or with Him?

Answer: Of course, dialogue with the Creator is higher, but without going through the ten, you won’t be able to reach Him.

A wise man came and gave him a cure that helped him. Later, when he came to the doctors to do tests for his illness, they determined that he was completely well and there was nothing wrong with him. Clearly, at that time he is delighted and cannot say that he has nothing from which to derive vitality. Instead, his joy is immense (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 137, “The Lack Is the Kli [Vessel]”).

What are true spiritual pleasures? These are the pleasures of being connected and being able to mutually help one another; it is rising from our personal problems to common problems necessary for collective healing. In this case, we call upon the Creator for help, and He gladly assists us.

Our problem lies in uncovering the actual cause of our suffering and asking the Creator to free us from it.

Question: What deficiency gives birth to true spiritual pleasure?

Answer: The desire to be spiritually healthy.

Question: What is the kind of faith during suffering that can work for bestowal only with the help of the Creator?

Answer: It is a special quality—a person’s faith that; first of all, one is striving not for healing but to understand the root of healing, its cause. Then, a person finds the method of recovery.

Such faith always arises from realizing one’s helplessness so that a person finds the Creator as the cause of everything happening to them.

The intensity of the request to the Creator depends on understanding the reason for our condition, which is that everything comes from Him. Therefore, we must ask the Creator to come closer to Him to reveal the true essence of all existence. In this way, we can move forward toward healing.

Why is it said that a soul like Baal HaSulam descends into our world only once in ten generations? The fact is, this soul is incredibly great, and its attainment requires tremendous effort.

Therefore, it descends into the world only once every few generations when there are many souls ready to rise from one spiritual degree to another. Through their collective effort, they can reach the heights described by Baal HaSulam.

Through all our efforts in studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and our actions toward unity, we wish to include ourselves in his soul, and to the extent that we achieve this inclusion, we can touch, even slightly, his greatness. Everything depends on our desire to rise above our current state and reach greater unity, through which alone we can attain spirituality.

By reaching a certain level of attaining this degree, we must try to clothe ourselves in Baal HaSulam’s spiritual garment, which is exceptionally high, hoping that the Creator will have mercy on us and allow us to understand, feel, and somehow glimpse this state.

That does not depend on us alone, but on the desire of the upper to reveal itself within us and, through us, influence all of humanity. We must not forget this, so that together we can feel this immense responsibility and strive to bring the whole world closer to the Creator.

Our group is the result of the work of the great Kabbalists who lived before us, who have extended to us the end of the thread that connects us to the Creator. We must grasp this thread and use it to ascend.

Through our closeness to one another, through connection and mutual inclusion, we will be able to feel more elevated qualities and higher states, and in doing so, we will oblige the Creator to raise us up to Him. That is already near, and we hope we will succeed in achieving it.
