The Request Must Be Genuine

558Question: What is revelation of evil? Is it possible to achieve it?

Answer: Yes, of course. It is said that for this purpose you engage in Torah and commandments, meaning you do everything you can: gather, speak, and feel how egoistic you are in relation to each other and to the whole world. Gradually, this leads to the revelation of evil within you.

When it reaches a certain level, you will inevitably want to turn to the Creator for correction. From that moment on, you begin to ascend the ladder of your corrected qualities.

Question: Does correction occur when we reach a specific point, or is it enough to ask?

Answer: It is enough to ask, but you cannot ask yet. The request must be genuine when you feel how egoistic you are and beg the Creator to rid you of your egoism.

Force the Creator to Reveal Himself

938.03Question: We are trying to correct ourselves and want to ascend the spiritual degrees. What does the growth of the degrees depend on and how can we accelerate it?

Answer: It depends only on you.

The more you pray, ask, and strive for connection with your friends and through it for connection with the Creator, the faster you will reach such great desires that the Creator will be forced to reveal to you everything that He has for you.

Maximum Unity

945We have to know that all the souls extend from the soul of Adam HaRishon, for after he sinned in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, his soul divided into 600,000 souls (Rabash, “What Is the Degree One Should Achieve in Order Not to Have to Reincarnate?”)

The single upper illumination was divided into 600,000 souls. These particles are in all people, in each person.

Question: We increase our small particles with the desire to unite, and each ten creates its own luminous block. We must ignite these sparks in the rest of the world by taking care of dissemination. Kabbalists already see this final part, is this why they have the strength to work without interruption until the end?

Answer: Generally speaking they do not have much strength. As the spiritual world is revealed to a person, he has less and less strength. He needs to make more efforts to unite the spiritual forces within himself and rise to the Creator.

Question: This is very noticeable before a convention. Egoism presses, we don’t want to care about our friends, we want to think less and to unite less. How can each of us imagine the final picture in which we are all united? What should we strive for?

Answer: Toward maximum connection with friends.

Question: Is it possible to awaken sparks of the Creator’s light in each person with our common prayer?

Answer: It is possible. With a common, united prayer, we can achieve complete correction, ascend to the world of infinity, and anything we wish.

Before a Convention

947Question: Before a convention, we set a goal in the ten to get as close as possible to each other and give each other the strength to feel the point of unity so that it would pull us forward. Will we have some other task at the convention? How can we properly prepare ourselves?

Answer: We are learning to unite with each other. Now we are taking the first steps. The biggest problem in the spiritual world is when people who are opposite to each other must meet and unite in such a way that the upper light of the Creator can be revealed in them.

Why is this necessary? We are egoists, and we were initially created that way. If we try to unite, we succeed in this only due to the resistance to our egoism. Therefore, all our work on ourselves consists only in overcoming the ego.

In this way, everyone puts their unification with others above everything else. This is our only task in the science of Kabbalah, which explains the structure of nature, the ten Sefirot, Partzufim, Olamot, the laws of unification, and the laws of commutation.

But all of these are purely external explanations. When we try to master these forces, we experience strong mutual rejection because egoism begins to awaken and does whatever it wants with us. And we can no longer quietly read about unification and rapprochement. This is the main thing in our world, at our level.

Therefore, we must try to unite in such a way that we can have a good impression of each other and gradually come closer to each other. This is what we must do.

Get Closer to Each Other as a Result of Annulment

938.02Question: How does annulment help us love our friends?

Answer: Annulment helps us get closer to a friend to the measure that we remove obstacles because the difficulty of annulment is an obstacle in itself. In this way, we draw closer to each other.

Question: What is the root cause of the problem with annulment?

Answer: The cause lies in the Creator who creates certain states between us that we need to eliminate from our interactions.

Movement in a Straight Line

41.01Question: How will progress take place if everyone in the ten annuls before each other both externally and internally?

Answer: Just as it is happening now. It descends from the Creator, reaches us, and clothes itself in our uncorrected, indirect desires; therefore, we constantly change and fluctuate.

However, if we aim clearly at strengthening our connection through the Creator, we will advance directly, without deviation or confusion.

Question: How do we move toward true nullification in actions and thoughts? How does this happen?

Answer: First comes the intention, and then the action. At the end of the action, we will feel how we realize our intentions.

Ask for Corrections

627.2Question: How should we treat evil revealed, not in the ten, but at work or in the family?

Answer: First, we must reveal the evil in its source, the center. It means that we must sense that it derives from the properties of the benevolent Creator and see how it triggers a different, opposite reaction in us.

The point is whether you feel the exposure of egoism about the connection with the group, with friends. That is the main evil that must be revealed.

Question: Is the evil that I see in material life a manifestation of the evil of my egoism?

Answer: In general, yes, but all this will become clearer later. Everything goes in order. There is no need to rush, but you need to act now. The main thing is to pursue the direction toward connection with friends and the Creator. Stay in these thoughts constantly and evoke a reverse action from the Creator.

Question: In other words, things we reveal in materiality should be left for now, right?

Answer: No, continue asking for correction. If you are already in such a state, then ask.

How Can You Feel the Creator’s Answer?

557Question: What does it mean if you devote all your efforts to the Creator and constantly ask Him questions, but get no answers?

Answer: Either your desire is not genuine, not directed at giving, or you cannot understand His response.

Question: How can we feel the answer in the group? Or will it go through everyone separately?

Answer: You must feel it only in your common Kli, if only you will work with it. Therefore, in no case should you stand out, but on the contrary, you should unite with each other more and more tightly.

The Main Thing Is to Ask All the Time

558Comment: You said that we ask the Creator to fill us and to bring us closer.

My Response: Yes.

Question: But Rabash writes that the correct asking is not for fulfillment, but for Kelim (vessels). What is the correct way to address Him?

Answer: Ask for what you have a desire and intention for. And when the Creator reveals your Kelim, you will see what happens there.

Question: Our desires seek fulfillment, something good, light. But how do you ask for what Rabash advises?

Answer: Ask; it does not matter what. The main thing is to keep asking all the time. And gradually your desires will become more sharply directed.

When Will the Creator Accept Our Work?

282.01Question: When working in a group, we find joy in our work for the Creator. How can we be sure that the Creator accepts our work?

Answer: You must feel it. If you unite among yourselves and in relation to the Creator, while desiring to give everything to Him, to be together with Him in everything, then you will feel that you are rising toward the Creator, and that He is descending to you.
