The Whole Spiritual Heritage Is Before Us

961.2Question: How can we correctly build a chain of connection from our unity through you with Rabash, Baal HaSulam, and all the great Kabbalists?

Answer: Through prayer.

Question: Is the connection with the Creator and the connection with the great teachers throughout the generations the same?

Answer: No, first, there is connection with the great teachers and through them with the Creator.

Question: The generation of the ARI  before Baal HaSulam and Rabash is considered the last generation. Does that mean that we are not waiting for anyone else?

Answer: Actually, we do not have to wait for anyone. Everything the Kabbalists revealed in the past lies before us. We can use all this to rise together to the Creator and achieve the highest state through it.

Relate to Friends as to the Creator

528.01Question: What should I do to bestow to the friends and to the Creator?

Answer: You must relate to the friends in the same way you relate to the Creator. By this you will delight Him.

You will ask the Creator to give you the ability to bestow upon Him in the same way that you want to bestow to the friends, and vice versa, to bestow to the friends as you wish to bestow to the Creator.

All Secrets of Nature Are Hidden in Unity

937All secrets of nature are hidden in our unity—there is no other remedy for broken souls. Therefore, we use the method of Baal HaSulam in all stages: rising above egoism, joining into tens, and moving toward unification into one man with one heart.

Baal HaSulam expressed the whole science of Kabbalah in a new, rational, and very open form that it is difficult for the world to accept. He brought each person closer to his purpose. We only need to unite into one man with one heart and raise a prayer to Him from this unity so He will manifest in us.

On one hand it seems that time passes and all this cannot be done, but on the other hand, we see that generations are advancing to the extent that they can realize the conditions given by the spiritual environment.

In fact, this progress cannot be considered slow, as some complain. Apparently, we do not understand how huge, lavish, and simply infinite the whole universe is. At our stage, we want to perform actions immediately at the highest level. But until we achieve sufficient force of action and its required accuracy, we will remain on the path.

Only through connection with other people can we turn to the Creator correctly. The more connected I am to the friends on the path, the closer I am to the Creator. We need to enclose ourselves as much as possible within the boundaries of the ten, the Kabbalistic group, and inside it, we will find everything Baal HaSulam wanted to convey to us.

Every day we must try to raise the ten to an ever higher level. If everyone in the ten wants to do this and knows that their spiritual score depends on it, we will succeed.

I hope we will go through the holidays with full seriousness and begin to reveal what relates to our souls. Every day I see my students more and more collected, united, and in agreement with the steps the spiritual forces are taking us through. If we want to accelerate the ascent to the next degree, an attack is required from us through unification with the Creator.

How Can We Bring the Whole World to Happiness?

945Question: What is the correct connection in the ten that will lead the whole world to happiness?

Answer: The correct connection is when we are so connected to each other that the Creator will enter our connection and will not be able to leave.

We will hold on to Him in such a way that the link with Him will become stronger and stronger. Then we can be together. That is, the connection between us and the connection between us and the Creator will be the same.

263Question: How can I get the feeling of the measure of receiving the light for the sake of the Creator?

Answer: You do not have such a measure of sensing the light to tell that such a measure is good and a little less is already bad. Therefore, it remains only to ask the Creator to teach you how to measure your capabilities and how to ask for the maximum.

Question: What does it mean to make even greater efforts in spiritual work?

Answer: Your intention for the sake of the Creator should be as strong as possible. Think about it constantly, and remember that you can add something else.

Question: There is a lot of tension in our ten at the moment, and an outright war is going on between two of us. Is there a particular correction intended for our ten, and how do we come to it?

Answer: You must rise above all tensions, unite with each other, and from this common connection turn to the Creator and call on Him to be revealed among you. He is obligated to connect with you and share the common desire to dissolve you in Him.

Question: Before receiving any spiritual pleasure, does one understand that he will suffer after that?

Answer: Maybe he understands, but advancement is more important for him.

“If You Leave Me One Day, I Will Leave You Two”

255Question: What does the expression “If you leave Me one day, I will leave you two” mean?

Answer: This is a condition set by the Creator. If you lose your desire for the Creator, it means that He has left you, and therefore you are moving away from Him.

That is, you leave Him, not because you do not want Him, but because He did not want you.

Then, you must conduct a serious study of why this happened, correct what He did not want you for in the past, and develop a new desire for Him. Therefore: “If you leave Me one day, I will leave you two.”

Question: How is this expressed in the ten?

Answer: We cannot even think about relaxing in the ten. We need to think about how to warm our friends up to the ever-increasing contact between us.

Correct the Flaw of the Tree of Knowledge

243.04A person must repent to the extent that it is “unto the Lord your God.” That is, he should feel that “the Lord is your God” personally, and then the flaw of the tree of knowledge will be corrected. (Rabash, “What is the Meaning of Failure in the Work?“)

We undertake the obligation to rise in faith above reason so neither our faith nor our reason are harmed in any way, and we will thus correct the problem of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge.

The revelation of the Creator’s desire lies in the fact that each of us discovers some of our problems, flaws, and sins that constantly drag us down. But we want to be part of the community of Israel and therefore want to return.

That is, a person wants to feel that the Creator is omnipotent, and wants to belong only to Him and do everything so that the Creator is above him. This is called correcting the flaw of the Tree of Knowledge.

Question: Can we clearly feel the Creator’s desire in the ten to fulfill it? And if we do not feel it, do we believe that we are fulfilling His wishes?

Answer: No, it is not enough to believe in it. You need to know it.

528.02Question: When I look at the world, I feel an internal, endless cacophony of different desires and forces as if I have turned on a hundred TV channels at once. How can I transform this cacophony into a dialogue with the Creator?

Answer: The fact is that as the issues before us are resolved, we increasingly evoke the upper light that resolves these problems. We exist in relation to this light, which arranges us and shapes us into the necessary form, the correct ten. In this way, we move forward.

Connect with Good Forces

938.04Question: How can we help our friends on the spiritual path?

Answer: In principle, this help should be mutual since we can only attain the spiritual world if we unite into one group. When we help our friends, we help ourselves.

If several people, not necessarily ten, unite with each other, they correct their egoism. The Creator specifically created the ego, which distances us from each other so that we can try to be attracted to each other and form a single system.

We cannot completely unite because each of us is an individual egoist. Still, we can, despite our egoism, make a restriction on ourselves, not use the ego, and create altruistic connections between us.

That is, we remain egoists within ourselves, and between us we form altruistic relationships, even love.

If we gather together in such a system in which there are many egoists closed within themselves, but they try to unite with good forces, then the surrounding light of the Creator acts on them and unites them into a structure called the soul or Adam since it becomes bestowing like the Creator. That is the state we need to achieve.

Spiritual Force

936Question: Every day in the ten’s prayers we praise the Creator and believe that He is good and does good. We annul ourselves and want to serve Him. Is this considered spiritual attainment?

Answer: This is not yet a spiritual attainment, but it is a certain spiritual force that you strive for and accumulate among you in your connections. Ultimately it will turn into a powerful collective force that will push you out of egoism.
