Question: Previously it was clear to me: there is “me” and there is a dark point. Then everything inverted and I lost this point, I lost myself in everything. What should I do?

Answer: Yesterday you were in a state where you saw what you must do, and today you are in a state where you do not know where you are, who you are, and what you should do. This means you have entered concealment.

What to do, how to come out of it? Start asking, start pleading. Begin to put artificial pressure on yourself: “What for? Why?” Become an actor who plays as if it were for real. And you will see how your desires awaken and your memory comes to life. You will receive new vital forces and then, at least, you will once again become yourself.

In life we have to do many things artificially. When I write a book, I sometimes fall into such states as if I have nothing and want nothing. But I begin to write, that is, as it were, to speak with someone else.

And when it is “with someone else,” everything returns to me, because the will to receive no longer interferes so much. In this way you advance further and further, fall into various states, clarify them and pass through them. One must use all means.

The difficulty of our work lies in the fact that as we advance toward entering spirituality, or exiting this world, “Egypt” (this world is called “Egypt,” and the spiritual is “the Land of Israel”), we encounter a major problem: This entire process does not unfold according to our reason and this greatly weakens us.

Right now, many people are sitting here, and each of them once “burned” with a desire for the goal, but over time, they have calmed down. They settled into their place, fell asleep, and weakened. Why does this happen?

According to reason and feeling, a person does not receive what they expect. One wants to advance in such a way that there will be clear results within the desire to receive. A person is built so that moving forward means understanding more, gaining experience and strength, acquiring wisdom, and being better prepared for each new stage.

But here it seems the opposite happens. The more a person advances (yet does not see their progress), the weaker they become, the less they understand, and the more they fear what may happen to them. They have already experienced unpleasant states, and therefore are afraid, they don’t know what awaits them ahead, and they give up in advance.

The main thing here is to rely on reason. When we read the story of the exodus from Egypt, it seems beautiful to us. But when it happens within us, “and the children of Israel cried out from the work,” each time it becomes harder with fewer visible results, and a person raises their hands. They are tired and exhausted. What should be done?

Therefore, one who does not constantly work on building a system of support for themselves cannot advance. For example, how do miners work? They go underground, drill tunnels, and install supports. These are not simple tasks. To move forward even one more meter, one must install another support, and another, not just dig and move on.

So it is with us, if a person advances and wants everything they have done not to collapse upon them with such weight that they cannot rise, justify it in their heart or mind, or turn to the Creator, then they must maintain themselves in a certain state.

If there are disturbances against reason, they turn to feeling. If there are disturbances against feeling, they go according to reason. And if there are disturbances in both, what then? Then one immerses oneself in reading, in the articles; and if that does not help, the friends obligate them, and this is already a more advanced state.

Therefore, in order to advance, one must constantly sustain oneself by building a system of support so that there is truly a guarantee, a confidence that one will not fall. This is not just something that keeps a person on the path, these guarantees are built within the soul through work and study. One constructs them as if proving to oneself, to the parts of one’s soul, preparing its entire structure. This is very important work.

This is necessary not only in order to be able to advance and not fall, this structure remains forever.

Question: What are we missing now?

Answer: We lack quality of intention. I do not want to say more. From here on seek for yourselves. Using this as your starting point, look deeper into what it really is.

That is what our work is about. If I reveal it, I would steal the opportunity for you to figure it out on your own.

Let us say I would give a short explanation in three or four words now. This explanation will have no basis; it will not enter into your flesh. You will just memorize it, know it, and thus you will go past this concept.

Whereas it should dwell deep inside. When you search, the Kelim are revealed, and the definition one ultimately discovers becomes imprinted, like an impression, within those very vessels.

Question: Should I make an effort to justify the Creator?

Answer: The effort on my part must be equal in magnitude to the feeling of darkness. I must reach a state where I justify any condition sent to me from above.

Then I fill the sensation of darkness with the light of Hassadim, and I need nothing from the Creator. I myself have filled the entire emptiness.

Question: How can I ask a friend for help?

Answer: The help you can request from a friend should consist of his telling you something good. What else could there be?

When you turn to a friend, you should not tell him about all your misfortunes because this will bring him down.

Whether you want to or not, you are negatively affecting the other person, which is forbidden to do; it is called evil speech. If a person tells someone else something bad, no matter the form, it is slander.

What is slander? Anything one hears that brings him down and weakens him. Even just frivolity or any mockery weakens a person because his thoughts and intentions disappear the moment he hears it.

But the slander that is openly directed against the Creator is especially serious: “Who is the Creator that I should listen to Him?” This is the root cause of slander, because it cuts off any opportunity for a person to turn to the Creator, and in it lies his salvation.

Question: If I derive enjoyment from working for the friends in the group, is there any point in trying to suppress this enjoyment, as if to say, “I am enjoying myself, but I do not want to enjoy it”?

Answer: One must not suppress enjoyment, whatever it may be, especially the kind that comes to you along the path of spiritual work. Instead of simply enjoying what you have, you should examine where this enjoyment comes from and strive for enjoyment from the path itself, from the similarity of qualities to the one you wish to resemble, to whom you are drawing closer.

Enjoyment is the goal, but the question is what kind of enjoyment it is. The thought “to delight the created beings” is both the beginning and the end of creation.

If you want to attain the Creator, you must get to the feeling that the Torah is the science of life. Baal HaSulam explains this in The Study of the Ten Sefirot. It is not enough to merely perform acts of bestowal; you must enjoy them and receive fulfillment from the highest light. If a person suffers while walking this path, it means that he is under the control of the Klipot and not under the control of holiness.

Every moment a person suffers, they are disconnected from the Creator. After all, if the Creator is the source of pleasure, how can you suffer and still be connected to that source? It cannot be.

Any corrected state must be filled with enjoyment.

Question: You say that the group, the friends, and the books are all very important. Yet within this framework, we need to perform a thousand and one actions. Why do we constantly fail? Is it impossible to get out of these failures?

Answer: Why do you assume that by working in a group where everyone is “simmering as if in one pot,” you are constantly losing? Maybe this is the form that is supposed to be? You see that the children of Israel in Egypt are constantly experiencing defeat. When Moses goes to Pharaoh or leads the people through the desert, didn’t he experience failures? He fails all the time. But are failures bad things?

You fail and grow weaker because you reveal your ego, discover that you are zero, that you do not understand anything, and you have neither the strength nor the mind to rise to a higher level. After all, with the mind of the previous level, with the force of the previous level, you certainly cannot rise to the next level. Each time you fail, you discover your inferiority, and this is precisely what leads you to a higher level.

I think many have gone through such states where after you see that you have nothing, understand nothing, and are tired, suddenly something new is revealed to you. You begin to understand more, to connect definitions; it organizes you correctly, and there is some kind of illumination, some glimmers of light.

And all this comes through the feeling of failure, powerlessness, and disappointment because this is our path. First a person receives an empty Kli (vessel), a feeling of the lack of its fulfillment and powerlessness; only afterward does the light enter the corrected Kli.

We are not advancing in accordance with the animalistic mind that would expect greater strength each time, but rather, the process works in exactly the opposite way. This opposite way requires us to expend enormous forces, to exert a tremendous amount of intensity in everything, and when we come to powerlessness and emptiness, then we ascend to the next level.

One can expand their point in the heart only through connection with a friend. I give him the greatness of the goal, he gives me his greatness of the goal, and that is how I become impressed by the whole group. As a result, my point grows and attaches the points in the heart of the friends to itself.

The fact is that my point expands from within. From the outside, I receive an impression from the friends, but it comes from their points, from their internal structure, and both the disturbances from them and the awakening from them come according to their inner structure.

They themselves are not aware of where their inspiration comes from, what organs exist within their soul, and I do not know that either. But by receiving it, I thereby awaken my part.

In other words, each time I must correct a particular desire of mine. Each desire in me can be awakened only with the help of a special disturbance corresponding to it.

I have to receive these disturbances from the outside. And due to the fact that I am in a suitable environment that awakens inspiration in me, I receive precisely the inspiration and disturbances that correspond to my internal organs.

You are not alone in any given space, because you, the world, and the environment—your nation, other nations, family—all are necessary for you to take “the teacher, books, and a group” from the positive side and the rest of the world from the negative side, and, based on this, start building a desire for the Creator. From the negative and positive. You are the owner; start building it.

Baal HaSulam writes in the article “The Freedom” that it depends only on you. And only through the environment that you constantly improve do you advance because it influences you. Each time it transmits an ever stronger desire for the Creator to you until it becomes big enough for the Creator to be revealed in it. Then there are no problems: you have a connection with Him, He fills your Kli (vessel).

You cannot fill your desire; only the Creator can do it by becoming revealed inside of it. You have nothing else to fill it with. That is why you must work to ensure you have this desire.

Suppose you are sitting at home, feeling bored with everything; you want nothing, and perhaps it would be better not to go to the lesson today, to just stay at home and relax. When you have such thoughts, you have to pull yourself together, drag yourself into the group, and give all your strength to some work in the kitchen or on a team, engage in something. This is how you bring your desire back.

After all, if you invest in something, while among friends, even if you feel more tired from the work, at the same time, you get inspiration from them.

Therefore, if you feel bored and tired of everything in the middle of the day, immediately think of what you can do to overcome this state. This is called work. Nothing more is required of you.

In the “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Baal HaSulam writes that people strive to enter the King’s palace, and the guards push them away. Each guard gives his own push, he adds to the desire to receive on the negative side, and if you overcome this, you gain an addition to the desire to bestow, to the connection with the Creator.

Each guard knows whom and how much to push. This is done in accordance with the root of the soul, with the Reshimot (informational genes). Your Reshimot, which obligate you to reach the end of correction, govern these guards, and determine how and when they will push you.

The upper light acts from above and are in absolute rest; the Reshimot in you, that is, the information you received during the descent of your soul from the world of infinity to this world act in such a way that the light that influences you works differently.

But it is not the light that changes; it is only that you feel that its action changes in accordance with the Reshimot that are being revealed. The light itself is like the light of the sun; there is no change in it. It is you who see it now more, now less, now with clouds somewhere, now, suppose through yellow or green glass, and so on. In this way, the changes occur in the Kelim.

So it is with the disturbances. In the end, they are the same forces, although it seems to us that they are something external. The same applies to the inspiration that you receive from the group. You asked whether a person himself increases his point in the heart or attaches to himself the point of a friend. It is the same thing! After all, what do you attach? Essentially, only your own effort.
