You Must Act

583.06Question: You said that a person who studies Kabbalah grows internally and one’s perception of the group changes accordingly. Every year I check this state and indeed the friends and feelings are different and we all go through various states. What is happening qualitatively within each of us?

Answer: A more corrected desire that is more suitable for common connection is gradually revealed in you. I think you have gone through good states lately and are ready for the Creator to be revealed to you. That cannot be expected—you must act.

To act means to create such connections between yourselves that will be suitable for our connection with the Creator. That is what we need.

Connection in Width and in Height

945Question: Can the connection within a ten be stronger than the common connection at the convention?

Answer: These are completely different things. Connection in the ten is your personal connection with your root.

However, connection with all the people attending the convention is the connection in width, not in height. Therefore both are necessary.

Question: How can we convey the correct intention to the center of the ten in order to achieve a connection of the branch with the root?

Answer: I believe that if we follow the articles of Rabash and Baal HaSulam, we will ultimately reveal the entire network of connections between us and the Creator. Then, it will become clear that we already exist within this.

Each Person’s Influence on the Common System

944Question: If the system consists of tens, how will all the people in the world fit into this system since you have said that not everyone needs to study Kabbalah?

Answer: It is like in our earthly system. Someone does something, helps another in some way, and that person helps someone else, and so on.

We are all interconnected anyway, and as a result, everyone will eventually reach the final correction (Gmar Tikun).

Question: How does the spiritual individuality of each person help serve and move the spiritual system?

Answer: Each person, through his or her ten, influences the common system and thereby moves it forward.

The System Takes Care of Everyone

929Question: When I, as a cogwheel, join a working mechanism, if the mechanism starts to malfunction, will it grind down this cogwheel or will it give it a chance to correct itself and fit into the mechanism?

Answer: The machine accepts the cogwheels, ensures they take its place, and gradually allows it to see the part of the machine’s overall work that it needs to perform.

Question: Is it not replaced as defective?

Answer: No, there is no one to replace it with.

True Self-Sacrifice

938.02Question: What is true self-sacrifice to the Creator, which is our ultimate goal?

Answer: True self-sacrifice is when we desire to squeeze all egoism out of ourselves, all intentions for self-benefit, even the smallest ones, whatever they may be, and remain solely directed toward our friends and through them to the Creator.

When we reach this point, we will indeed see that spiritual gates open before us.

Question: What actions allow me to pass goodness to my friends?

Answer: By showing an example of how to unite in order to be ready to receive upper forces from the Creator.

Ten Is the Cell of the Spiritual Organism

947Question: What is this system of the ten, which is a spiritual cell that must be integrated into a single spiritual organism?

Answer: All souls existing at the degrees of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature are connected with each other, influence each other, and determine each other’s states.

We need to take into account that we are one single system and must be completely corrected in relation to each other. That is, our connection determines the correction of universal egoism, and then such a connection appears between us that is absolutely identical to the Creator. We need to reach this state.

Infect Each Other with Desires at a Convention

938.02Question: All the work on connection takes place in the ten. We gather at conventions from many countries. What can we pass to one another?

Answer: We infect and inspire each other with our desires.

Show everyone else how you are striving toward spirituality. You need nothing else. The wisdom of Kabbalah itself is not very complicated, but it is difficult to put into practice.

Understanding the basic principles is quite simple, but not through words, but rather through feelings.

How Can We Become a Spiritual Vessel?

938.04Question: How do we avoid substituting our own ideas for the genuine tuning required to hear the Creator?

Answer: To hear the Creator, your entire ten must unite into one single desire. In that state, you will feel that there is someone above who cares for you, guides you, corrects you, directs you, and brings you together.

After several such actions between you and the Creator, you will begin to feel how He gathers you and envelops you in a shell. From that moment onward, you will form a spiritual vessel (Kli).

How Can We Attain the Connection Between Souls?

962.6Question: Can we attain the unique connection between all souls?

Answer: We can attain everything, step by step.

Question: If we understand exactly how each soul is connected to another, will this enable us to unite better?

Answer: No, you cannot attain this now. When you achieve unification with your friends, and study the connections between you based on this, then you will be able to attain what your connection with the Creator should be.

How Can We Better Absorb the Lesson?

530Question: Sometimes my thoughts wander during lessons and I only perceive about 10% of the lesson. Is there any way for everyone to get more out of the lesson?

Answer: Listen to each lesson several times, discuss the lesson topic with your friends, and in this way you will absorb more. Preparing for the lesson through discussion will allow you to absorb more because your thoughts, desires, and aspirations interact with each other, and through this, you become more ready to receive what the Kabbalists are talking about.
