Question: What should we do to reveal the Creator?

Answer: The same as we do now, there is nothing else.

If, by connecting with each other, we reach the first stage of unification, the light of the level of Nefesh arises in us; it is the first, the smallest, of the five lights we must attain.

Then we continue to work, and if we go through the embryo state, we are born into the spiritual world.

Then, we begin to feel the next level of our existence called “nursing,” as in our world. That is why such actions occur in our world as the consequences of spiritual actions.

Usually, the nursing period is called “two years.” But those are two years in a spiritual sense. Afterward, we reach the level of Ruach and grow further to the level of Neshama, Haya, Yechida de Nefesh, and so on.

We study all these steps in the Study of The Ten Sefirot. This is what should advance us.

The whole science of Kabbalah, in fact, is built only on giving a person the opportunity to enter the spiritual world and begin their equalization with the Creator.

Question: I don’t have the strength to annul myself. How can the ten help me with this?

Answer: First, by example, and on the other hand, by pressure, when the ten shows you that you must cancel yourself in front of them.

Second, you must help your friends with everything, i.e., fulfill all the work conditions Rabash writes about in the ten. By observing them, you become an embryo inside the ten, and the ten turns into your mother’s body.

And when you all finish this work and cancel yourselves before each other, you get ten mutually cancellable egoistic desires. At the same time, you become a full-fledged spiritual embryo. There will be no reverse movement; you will begin your intrauterine development.

Your development will occur in the Creator, in the quality of bestowal and love. As it is said, you will begin to feel the upper world: The embryo in the mother sees the whole world from edge to edge since it completely cancels itself. Therefore, it sees absolutely everything, even what it does not see after birth.

And then there are the days of its development. “Days,” changes, a constant, ever-increasing glow of light and an ever-increasing nullification of oneself in this light. It is the development of the embryo. On one hand, he develops egoistically, and his egoistic mass manifests increasingly in him. On the other hand, he cancels more and more of this mass growing in him and thus grows.

It therefore follows that each one should try to bring into the society a spirit of life and hopefulness, and infuse energy into the society. Thus, each of the friends will be able to tell himself, “Now I am starting a clean slate in the work.” In other words, before he came to the society, he was disappointed with the progress in the work of the Creator, but now the society has filled him with life and hopefulness.

Thus, through the society, he obtained the confidence and strength to overcome because now he feels that he can achieve wholeness (Rabash, Article 30 “What to Look for in the Assembly of Friends”).

There is an apparent principle in Kabbalah: There is Kabbalah, and there is material life. Separate this clearly with an iron wall.

In this life your personal aspects are your body, food, family, children, whatever you want. On the other hand, we need to comprehend the Creator, our activities, our group, and our friends without mixing.

Although we consist of two parts, male and female, we cannot mix them. However, the woman is given an opportunity to ask questions, listen, and participate.

Women have very powerful Hisaron, and you can feel how they pressure men; this is very good. And we must take their pure Hisaron, pure desire, and connect it to ourselves.

It is what we study from the structure of the spiritual Partzuf. Malchut, located below, is the female part. And the restriction (Tzimtzum), the screen (Masach), the reflected light (Ohr Hozer), this is all the male part, which is included in the first nine Sefirot where the upper light is obtained and the Creator is revealed.

That is, the Creator is revealed in a woman’s desire, formed with the help of a man’s intention.

Question: How can one convince oneself that any actions for oneself are evil? Even some kind and positive group actions done for oneself are still evil.

Answer: Anything that hinders truth and devoted connection in one common desire is evil. It is impossible to give a clear definition of evil. Evil is opposed to connection in which the quality of the Creator is revealed.

Comment: I do some group actions, and they are beneficial, but at the same time, when I analyze them, I catch myself thinking that I did them for myself. But I do not feel bad about it at all. And I do not like that.

My Response: Why? Because you are giving yourself some incorrect definitions. Stop philosophizing!

Anything that leads to the connection with the friends into one single whole, into one thought, into one desire, into one action, into one intention, is good. The place where I dissolve into the group is good.

That is it! Do not consider any other theories.

Question: Should I work not for the sake of the reward, nor myself, should I not want to receive anything?

Answer: No, you work to get a reward. But which one? It is to be able to bestow to the Creator.

Question: But I understand that bestowing to the Creator means making efforts and enjoying His work.

Answer: No, you do not have to make your conclusions. You must read the sources, or your understanding will give you such a philosophy that you will not know where you are. Our reward is acquiring the property of bestowal, becoming similar to the Creator.

Question: Should I cry out for the sake of such a reward?

Answer: Yes, you should get a sense of importance and need for this reward through the group so much so that you can live only for this. And everything else is your purely earthly egoism.

Question: How does a person who wants to achieve the goal feel?

Answer: A person feels his main job is to constantly annul himself before the group and the Creator, nothing else.

Egoism is our reverse helper. It is specially given to us so we can annul it and thus become like the Creator. That is all you have to think about.

There are many thoughts, actions, and intentions around this, but, in general, this is the most important thing.

Question: Do we come to the group in order to reach common hopelessness and helplessness?

Answer: No. We come to the group to reveal the Creator within it. However, when we start working, we reveal the impossibility of connecting by our own efforts.

Similarly, humanity must convince itself at its lower level that it is incapable of reaching a normal earthly human life. Nothing works for them in family life, in raising children, technology, work, culture, or science; whatever they do, they only harm themselves. Gradually, humanity truly becomes convinced of this.

Then they are invited to correct this with the upper light, the positive energy that works within us. Kabbalah explains that this energy can only be drawn from common work on ourselves in order to reach some common denominator.

Suppose theoretically we are ready. A part of humanity, for example, Bnei Baruch, desires this. But when we start working on connection, we, like all of humanity, also feel the impossibility of it. Even if we want to yield to each other, care for each other, empathize, and suffer together, it does not work!

The Creator deliberately makes it so that we cannot correctly adjust ourselves and become masters of the world (we cannot be masters of the world because we are created beings), but He makes it so that we become disappointed in our own strength and feel the need for Him. This is when we appeal to Him, and He builds a system of correct integral connection between us called Arvut (mutual guarantee).

Only after this can we constantly work with this system of connection. Its revelation between us is called the entry into the upper world, because in that case, we begin to see the entire creation in connection among us through an organ of perception called “the group,” “the ten Sefirot.” Then we can move forward calmly, without error, while understanding what we must do.

Question: Can women enter into mutual guarantee (Arvut)?

Answer: Of course they can. What is the problem? If the men enter, then you will enter. You must fully help men because the male part determines, and the female part gives its pressure—Aviut. Without proper interaction between us, we will not be able to achieve this.

Mutual guarantee is the birth of a spiritual state. It comes only from the correct correspondence of the male and female parts in the Kli.

Question: Can we say that we start entering into mutual guarantee egoistically?

Answer: Of course, only egotistically.

Question: How does this mutual guarantee advance us toward the Creator?

Answer: We cannot advance using only egoism. But for now, that is the only power we have. We do not have anything else yet! Do you want to immediately jump to the level of bestowal, love, and connection between each other? From where?

There is an entire ladder and by climbing it we gradually accumulate the desire for the right connection, for bestowing, when the general becomes higher than my personal “I.” This does not happen immediately but under the influence of the higher light.

Question: What is the result of the ten being in a state of mutual guarantee?

Answer: If you do not feel yourself but feel the ten, take it into consideration, think together, desire together as if you have no internal life of your own, only a common one, and when you suddenly separate from the ten you feel as if your oxygen supply has been cut off, then this is the state of mutual guarantee (Arvut).

Question: What is mutual responsibility (Arvut)?

Answer: Mutual responsibility (Arvut) is when I am responsible for the whole world before the Creator.

Question: Can we, Bnei Baruch, be an example to humanity in our state and explain to them through our example about how we unite?

Answer: No, we cannot do that because we are not yet a group that can tell humanity, “You have to become like our group.” Although we are close to it, we are not in such a state yet.

Arvut is a state in which everyone connects by one force into one organism, and the Creator descends to us according to our desires. He settles in us, controls us, and fills us with His quality of bestowal. And we are connected in this quality of bestowal. That is a mutual guarantee. That is the ideal state of humanity.

But we are not there yet. We want to get closer to this state to set an example for humanity. As soon as we reach this state, humanity will begin to notice: “What is this? Why is this happening? How did they do it?” They will suddenly intuitively feel that in Arvut lies the salvation to all problems. But to do this, we must first achieve the quality of Arvut among us.
