The Path that Gives the Sense of the Creator

276.02Question: Baal HaSulam writes there is nothing more natural or necessary than connection with the Creator because He is nature. Is it possible to convey this to the world, not through faith below knowledge or religion, but rather in or above knowledge?

Answer: No, imagine we are in a state where the Creator sends us some signals from His level, from His height. We cannot recognize them correctly. The only thing we can do is ask Him to draw us to Him. Only then will we begin to feel and understand Him more and come into contact with Him.

The feeling of the Creator can only be obtained through the path Kabbalah offers. All other paths are built on accustoming oneself to believing there is some kind of power.

Question: So without uniting people into tens, without a practical methodology, it is not possible to give it to the world?

Answer: No, nature is designed so that only through tens can we draw closer to the Creator.

Treat Each Other with Kindness

283.01Question: How can I stop viewing my friends as rivals and start seeing them as partners on the path to the Creator? How can I seem them as parts of my soul, without jealousy, comparison, or anger?

Answer: It is a challenge to move from hatred to love. It cannot be done in one leap, but it can be done gradually.

First of all, constantly ask the Creator to give you the ability to see only positive qualities in your friends. In this way, you will appreciate them for the good that is revealed to you.

Every person has both good and bad qualities, but you want to see only the good. It is like parents who see only the good in their little child, but if you ask others, what will they say about this child? Only negative things.

So it all depends on how we look at things. We should try to see everyone completely independently of our personal feelings, and then we will be able to see correctly. That is all.

Convey Our Attitude to the Creator

945Question: Right now, we feel that we have received the upper light and are searching for how to act for the sake of the Creator so it does not leave us. What should our unified action be to convey this attitude to Him?

Answer: For this, we must feel the Creator, connect with Him, and transmit to Him what is within us: our desires, our hearts. And then, everything will work out.

This can be broken down into several steps. First we need to unite all our hearts together. Then we connect our heart with the Creator and transmit our attitude from it to the heart of the Creator.

Unite in One Desire

947Question: What is the best way to form a desire to unite? Most of the time I am in imaginary pursuits and indifference, but I have to cling to something in a friend. But each friend is different. What should I pay attention to?

Answer: Pay attention to the fact that I want to cling to a friend and he wants the same thing. If you have a joint direction of desire, you will connect and form one common desire, a single form.

Question: But I do not feel this friend. Do I have to enter into some interaction with him?

Answer: Yes, this interaction will gradually find you. You will cling to it and through it to the friend. It starts with the fact that you want to unite with all your friends and reveal that you actually do not have a particular desire for this. You constantly forget about it, push it away, and therefore nothing happens.

Question: How can I unite with a friend who has no love for me? How can I get strength from connection with him?

Answer: You can gain strength by wanting to connect with him, even if you do not know him or feel distant from him. It is only through this desire that you begin to achieve any connection with him.

Question: Does the power we receive come from the ten or the Creator?

Answer: Only from the Creator.

Toward the Creator

937Question: I know that I will go through everything to the end with you. I want to hear from you what you expect from us, and we will do it. What should we rise above now; what should we cancel?

How do we clarify the importance of spirituality from the chaff and get to the bottom of it? When I asked you, “What do you do when you’re scared?” you said, “Close your eyes and jump into the unification.” Where is this point? Where do we jump to?

Answer: In principle such a wish applies to our current state. There can be no next step if a person does not realize he is stepping into the unknown. Therefore, we have no other way. I am not hiding it; how could I hide it?

Do you see what kind of world we live in? It is not easy. On the one hand, we can resent the fact that the Creator sets up such events for us. But on the other hand, you still have to go above knowledge. And then we will overcome everything.

Question: Where should we jump now with our eyes closed?

Answer: Only to the center of unification. If we really jump into the very center, then in flight, we will see how the Creator greets us there.

We Are Closer to Each Other than Blood Relatives

571.03Question: Why can representatives from different conflicting countries in the global group have good relationships and embrace each other? We want the external world to be the same. When will that happen?

Answer: Not anytime soon. But we cannot give up and wait. It all depends on us.

Question: If we are blood sisters, it is easy for us to find a connection between each other. How can we also become like family in the ten so it would be easier to melt our hearts and find mutual connection?

Answer: In reality, we are much closer to each other than blood brothers or sisters. So, there is no need to think that there is a great distance between us. We must realize who we are and how separated we are, and this will happen very soon.

Activate the Mechanism of the Spiritual System

117Each and every individual in society is like a wheel that is linked to several other wheels placed in a machine. This single wheel has no freedom of movement in and of itself but continues with the motion of the rest of the wheels in a certain direction to qualify the machine to perform its general function (Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World“).

Our main work is to reveal how interconnected we are and how we must tune ourselves together to be included in the work of this machine, not simply to be driven by it, but to begin to understand how we can activate it. That is our task.

Question: Should we just wait patiently?

Answer: No, absolutely not. Waiting patiently will not help. We must begin to activate ourselves along with the mechanism of the machine, and gradually we will become involved in its collective forward motion. We need to start right now, and the activation comes when we begin to sense its movement and integrate ourselves into it.

Open Your Heart to the Friends

942Question: How can we feel that the Creator is ready to respond to us? How can we open our heart and trust Him?

Answer: Open your heart to your friends. Let’s say you have nine friends, and you are the tenth. If you truly unite with them, the Creator will enter your open heart, and you will feel Him.

You will begin to ascend the steps of the spiritual ladder and start to realize what you read in the sources.

Align the Common Desire with the Creator’s Desire

938.01Question: It is written, “As their faces are not similar to one another, their views are not similar to one another.” How can we come to one desire so that it aligns with the Creator’s desire?

Answer: Under the influence of the actions the Creator sets before us, we try to be in one desire, like one person, and thus we become a single body.

And when this body consists, for example, of ten people, it has ten times more strength than if a person were alone.
