Unification Is a Spiritual Action

938.07Question: What is the connection of the ten? Is it a process or an achievable result?

Answer: Connection is the only spiritual action. We can unite in tens, hundreds, or thousands, depending on the scale we are satisfied with.

It is a process of ascending the degrees of the spiritual ladder where we feel a constant elevation and revelation at each step of our connection with the Creator.

Question: Is our task before the congress is to reach some minimal degree of connection?

Answer: How it turns out depends on you.

Question: When will this happen? What do we need to go through and feel? How many hearts must be opened to achieve even a minimal result?

Answer: You can open your collective heart today; there are no limitations. As much as you desire, that much you will ascend in the qualities of bestowal, love, and connection.

A Sip of Coffee for the Sake of a Friend

549.02Question: How can we drink coffee for the sake of bestowal when we are sitting in a lesson?

Answer: As you take a sip of coffee think that by doing so, you are passing on all the enjoyment you receive from that sip to your friend.

If you connect to your friend with your Kli (vessel), then everything you receive in that Kli is also received by your friend. Therefore, you direct your intention toward your friend.

In this process, the Creator serves as the source that fills both of you. By receiving from Him, you bring Him contentment.

The Power of Annulment

528.03If his friend is number one, and the zero follows it, it is considered that one receives from his friend ten (10) times more. And if he says that he is double zero compared to his friend, he receives from his friend a hundred (100) times more (Rabash, Articles, 7, “According to What Is Explained Concerning “Love Thy Friend as Thyself”).

Question: There is a power of annulment in front of a friend by one zero and a power of annulment in front of a friend by two zeros. What is the difference in the power of annulment?

Answer: For each person there are different criteria in accordance with the root of his soul. Therefore, I cannot say what the power of your property of bestowal and love should be so that you can rise to the first level, to the second, to the third one.

A person who does not possess these properties cannot try them on for himself. You should understand that you will attain all this as a result of continuous work among yourselves in the ten when you try to treat your friends as it is written in the primary sources, and your friends will treat you in exactly the same way.

It is precisely with this technique that you will begin to master the spiritual levels, understand what is on them, and rise quickly.

Connecting All the Parts of Adam’s Soul

947Question: How can we work only on the part of Adam’s soul that is in us?

Answer: Each of us receives a portion of the part of Adam HaRishon that is in us that we have already corrected. What is still uncorrected is also within us. This is what we are doing.

The most important thing for us is to come together, both men and women, as one common whole. Through this, we can begin to feel the piece of Adam within us.

Question: How can we not miss the opportunity at this convention to connect all the parts into one soul?

Answer: This is what we are doing. It is not a matter of ordinary human interaction. We must come close to one another in our senses and realize that through our feelings we can connect to such a degree that we feel our source, the source from which we descended. Through this, each will correct their individual and our collective soul, which will allow us to feel the upper world more and more.

Questions about Spiritual Work—178

632.3Question: How can we understand that we are progressing on the path of connection? Could it be that what is happening to us is just a game of egoism?

Answer: If, from time to time, we ask the Creator for help in rising above egoism and something is accomplished, it means we are moving forward.

Question: How can we attain faith above reason like you and our great teachers? What should we do to achieve this?

Answer: This comes with time and is contrary to what you desire. It will all come.

Question: What does “a moment of holiness” or “being in a moment of holiness” mean?

Answer: It is a connection with the Creator. The Creator is holy, meaning He exists only in the desire to bestow. Therefore, those who have such a desire or are approaching it are called holy.

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.

The Cure for Egoism

938.01Recognition of evil is a state where you cannot stand your egoistic nature and are ready to do anything to get rid of it.

However, this is not your entire ego; it is only the part that is currently revealed. Still, its recognition awakens a deep hatred toward it.

If you feel you are evil, understand how you genuinely relate to others, the world, people, and ultimately to the Creator, and desire to rise above your egoistic problems. This is the essence of healing from egoism.

Question: Is complete annulment before the friends and the Rav a cure for the evil inclination?

Answer: Not entirely, you must feel your illness and realize that you want to get rid of it. For this, you need to change your attitude toward your friends and the Creator from negative to positive. Then everything will be corrected, and you will feel how the world changes.

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.

A Corrected Ten

938.04Question: What ensures that a ten in mutual integration can carry out the work that the Creator expects from them?

Answer: A corrected ten is one that operates as a single entity. In it, each person fulfills their role, supports one another, and helps everyone reach their maximum capacity to integrate with each other.

This ten is constantly in a state of asking the Creator to give them more light for growth. By absorbing this light, they grow and draw closer to the Creator.

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.
