Question: When working on a mutual guarantee, how can one avoid approaching the precipice to which Rabbi Akiva’s disciples approached?

Answer: The question is valid, but don’t worry, you won’t get any closer to it.

The spiritual system works according to a specific plan, according to which the construction and destruction of the First Temple should have occurred. The First Temple is a spiritual level called Mochin de Haya.

Then the descent from this level began with the destruction of the First Temple. The people of Israel remained in this state until the construction of the Second Temple (Mochin de Neshama). All this was planned and clear from the initial state when Abraham’s group was forming in Ancient Babylon. They had to go through this.

Our generation has only one task: to rise to the third state, the Third Temple (Mochin de Yechida), when the light of the level of Yechida fills the final corrected creation to realize the connection between all souls.

Let us hope we can achieve this. At least we have the opportunity.

Question: Why can’t we implement this practically, like say with building a kibbutz?

Answer: We do not have such a spiritual opportunity. The point is not to build some buildings. We should not do this. We do not need to create, destroy, or rebuild anything in this world. We need to rebuild ourselves, rebuild our relationship, and based on this everything will change.

Question: We learn that from love for creatures one comes to love for the Creator. It is impossible to unite without the help of the Creator. Does it mean that we first need to contact the Creator?

Answer: We must ask the Creator to unite us.

Question: Should we ask the Creator to build some kind of image?

Answer: You do not need any image! You need to ask the Creator to unite you. Then, as you begin to unite, you can ask Him to unite you even more. Then you will begin to work with Him, study Him, and connect with Him.

The first action is our unification. But for this, we need the Creator. We set the task of unification between us, and the Creator is an auxiliary force that we ask to help us in this. We then turn to Him to connect with Him even more. But until we unite with each other, we have nothing to turn to the Creator with because we do not yet exist at His level.

Question: To whom then do we turn?

Answer: We turn to nature, to the upper force, for help.

Question: What is this nature made of?

Answer: This should not interest you. You just need to get the force of connection.

First, we use the Creator to connect with each other. When we succeed in this, we turn to the Creator in order to begin to unite with Him.

At congresses, we get together with all our might and renew our spiritual movement toward each other. We try to find out how we can get closer, feel another, completely incomprehensible, unknown person, and establish a contact with him that will be influenced by the upper force.

We can achieve much more at a congress than in my regular ten. I can be very connected to my own ten, but when I join a random ten, we have no past. I sit with people I have never worked with spiritually. That makes it easier for me.

I can wholeheartedly open myself to connection with them without any past superficial impressions. We must try to do this. In spiritual things this is how it should be, and even with your old ten, you can be completely open.

In such cases, it is our egoism that allows us to be more open and closer to each other. I will not have that ten tomorrow, nor did I have it yesterday, so I am in such an open state with them.

Think about it. Overall there are many opportunities at congresses. You can do it if you look for ways to feel your soul merge with a random ten.

If you have no complaints about them, no memories, no promises for the future, this is what always happens in spirituality. Every minute in spirituality you are in a completely new state. Every person is new at every moment. So you owe absolutely nothing to anyone except instant unification with each other and the Creator.

You therefore see that all of Israel are responsible for one another, both on the positive side and on the negative side. On the positive side, if they keep the Arvut to the point that each one cares and satisfies the needs of his friends, they can fully observe the Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], meaning to bring contentment to their Maker (Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]”).

The law of complete interconnection in the integral system obliges us to receive from everyone and to bestow to everyone. Integral dependence on both reception and bestowal applies to each of us. We evoke the Creator’s pleasure with these actions, which we feel in the light He immediately fills us with.

Question: What does bestowing to friends mean?

Answer: Bestowal is helping friends to support them within the ten in an integral connection with everyone. I must take care of this, embrace them like the mother of small children, and hold them together so that in any condition they connect.

Question: How do I know that I am fulfilling the desire of the Creator and not the fantasies of my egoism?

Answer: To do this, first of all, you must fulfill not your desires, but the desires of others. Secondly, you must only do what a friend needs to support him in the group. That is all.

Question: What else can be included in the daily work in the ten besides connection, intention, and desire? How can we reveal the inner vision of the ten?

Answer: Simply talk about this topic among yourselves, gradually reveal yourselves and your friends within your circle. In this way you will reach a state where everything becomes clear to you.

Question: When you strive to awaken the ten and clarify the intention behind your actions, you often see that there is no intention for the sake of bestowal. Then you reach a dead end and have no strength to continue. Where can you find the strength to awaken the ten from truth and not from falsehood?

Answer: Think about what you need to do. Constantly practice actions for the sake of your friends, and ask the Creator for them.

This is called “habit becomes second nature.” Then you will be able to be closer to them in this way.

Question: How does the Masach (screen) relate to one’s willingness to bestow?

Answer: The screen is a person’s connection with the Creator for the sake of bestowal.

Question: What thoughts can we allow for comparison so it would help our spiritual advancement and not confuse us?

Answer: Thoughts on how to be connected with each other and in this connection receive light in order to guide it together to the Creator.

Question: How do you get out of sadness into joy?

Answer: Ask your friends to help you. Nothing else would work. You must look for such techniques by yourself and with this help you can rise from egoism and correct it.

Question: Even in the preparatory period you can feel the strength of the screen, which can manifest in us. Does the Masach work when you transition from the left line to the right?

Answer: It is unknown to me where your right or left lines are. But I know the transition from egoism to altruism and back is by using the screen.

Question: How can we justify the Creator when the past falls on us like we have not accomplished something? How do we work with the fact that we must justify the Creator?

Answer: At every moment of our existence, we must feel the Creator as the one determining our state and we must justify these states.

Justifying means recognizing that each state brings us, through our friends, to connection with the Creator and raises us to the next level.

If there are ten people in that body, it has ten times more power than a single person does.

However, there is a condition: When they gather, each of them should think that he has now come for the purpose of annulling self-love. It means that he will not consider how to satisfy his will to receive now, but will think as much as possible only of the love of others. (Rabash, Articles “Love of Friends – 2”)

Although a person may not feel, understand, or want it, they must still try to think this way.

This is the only way to acquire the desire and the need to acquire a new quality, called “the will to bestow.” And from love of friends one can reach love of the Creator, meaning wanting to give contentment to the Creator.

In fact, this is a game. What does a game mean? We do not want to give anything or love anyone, but we understand that if we do not attain such a quality, we will remain animals in our world and die as such animals.

Nothing will work out in our life neither for ourselves nor for others. Therefore, if we gather in a ten, it is the only opportunity where we can combine our efforts, desires, and requests, and receive such a force that will lift us above our egoism.

This is the principle of the so-called love of friends; that is, there is no love, but if we connect even our small “agreements,” it is enough to begin rising spiritually.

Question: In our dissemination we explain to people that the world is an integral system that functions like a human body. And they perceive it positively. They agree that we must become a unified system.

What is our next step? Do we need to tell them that they should study Kabbalah or something else?

Answer: We need to explain to them how we can become an integral system. After all, we cannot do this by ourselves, but only if we are affected by the special upper force that is able to unite us.

How can we evoke the influence of the upper force that can unite our egoistic desires so that we complement each other like the cells in the body?

We cannot do this by ourselves.

Each of us is a separate little egoist closed in himself. But there is a positive force outside of us that can do this. And the science of Kabbalah teaches us how to induce its influence on ourselves.

It explains how to get together, try to connect, what actions to take; i.e., how to do everything so that the upper force begins to affect us. This is our mission. We ourselves must learn to use this opportunity and show it to others.

The truth is that each of us is in the perfect ten, and only one’s egoistic desires do not allow a person to see that he or she is in an ideal state among ideal people.

And the fact that one sees negative qualities in others, it is said, “One rejects in the measure of his flaw.”

Therefore, if a person sees something imperfect in one’s friends, let him look closely, but only in order to see this imperfection in himself and thus be able to correct himself. Let’s try to have such an attitude.
