What Does the Creator Expect?

233Question: When the Creator sends illumination from the next degree, what kind of reaction is He expecting?

Answer: He expects His student to immediately rise to this degree and begin working on it in order to quickly establish a complete connection with the Creator.

Question: Through what means does this ascent happen? If there is a desire to analyze everything in the mind and try to understand what the Creator wants to reveal, is this the right approach?

Answer: Yes, this is also correct. But the most important thing is to see what your friends desire and try to help them with that.

A Fateful Decision

931.01Question: How can we perceive the convention as a positive blow, so that we can accept the Creator’s control for life, and not just for the duration of the convention?

Answer: It all depends on our attitude to it. On the eve of the convention, I must feel myself standing before the most important task in my life, and now my fate is being decided, when I can rise to the upper degree of the spiritual ladder, or I can remain as I am now, or even fall somewhere. This is before us today. Choose!

Question: How exactly can we concentrate, not spread out, and be sure that we can consolidate and prepare ourselves?

Answer: If you begin to gather together as if in a spiritual space, then you will feel a huge common Kli where you are close and understand each other, and the Creator reacts to this in a very serious way.

Question: You said that a person cannot advance without blows, but one can prepare himself so as not to feel the states he goes through as blows. Now, on the eve of the convention, are we not expecting blows?

Answer: No, you must be prepared for blows in order to move forward. The only difference is how you expect it, and in accordance with your desire you will feel it as support, a push forward. But if it is against your desire, then you will feel it as an obstacle.

Question: What can that blow give us at the convention that will allow us to accept something new for ourselves as the control of the Creator?

Answer: If we feel ourselves connected together into one whole, then our common desire will push us out of egoism, and we will rise to the next degree.

How Can We Shorten the Path to the Creator?

962.8Question: How long is the path from the realization of true evil to a genuine prayer? How can this path be shortened?

Answer: It is only by uniting between you in the group and studying the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. The more you study, the more you understand that it is only through the study of the Torah that you can see how deeply egoism is rooted in you and how you must extract and correct it.

Question: How can we increase our spiritual vessel (Kli) in the group?

Answer: It is by drawing closer to each other. Only through this.

Turn to the Creator more often, ask Him for correction, but do so precisely when you notice that you are in need of correction and don’t just cry out for the sake of it.

My Soul Is in the Ten

530Question: How can I feel that my soul is in the ten?

Answer: If I disconnect from the ten and feel that without it there is no air, that everything that was so important disappears, then my soul is in the ten.

The Connection Called the Temple

936The Temple is the revelation of the Creator that occurs within the prepared desires of a person that  they receive from the Creator.

These desires are capable of accommodating the Creator, and the person feels that the Creator fills them.

Question: How does a person in a state of lowliness and dust even suspect the existence of the Creator and know that they need to pray and build a Temple?

Answer: It is from the things he has already gone through. The Creator does not break off the connection with them. He simply shows the person where they are and at the same time gives them the opportunity to draw closer to Him from below upward.

Question: How can we help each other build the Temple in the ten?

Answer: Connect with each other and turn to the Creator so that He creates a connection between you that will be called the Temple and  fills it with His presence.

The Force of Internal Connection

938.02Comment: When a person is in a low state, he turns to the group. The group can only recommend one thing—hold on to the Creator, but he does not have that connection with the Creator.

My Response: Then the group will direct them to the Creator through itself.

Comment: But the connection with the Creator is given from above.

My Response: No, the group can guide him toward itself and through the group to the Creator. This is where the force of internal connection between them must manifest.

Question: Can powerlessness be transformed into strength of connection with the Creator?

Answer: Yes, it can. It depends on the environment.

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.
