How to Get Out of a State of Bitterness?

934That the merciful one had mercy on us and showed us our true state, which is bitter, and then we can be awarded salvation and redemption (Rabash, Letter 72)

Comment: After we left Egypt and entered the Land of Israel, we were still adapt to the people surrounding us. We did not try to escape from Egypt and preferred someone else’s work to work for the Creator.

My Response: You prefer foreign work because you stayed in Egypt.

First, you must feel you are in exile and that this buries you in the sand. Then, gradually, by helping one another, you should begin to pull yourself out of the sand, i.e., from Egypt.

Question: What does it mean that the ten agree to go without any conditions, and this is what leads them to real prayer, which the Creator will hear?

Answer: No matter what happens, the ten agree to be together and rise above your egoism together.

Assemble the Common Puzzle of Souls

264.01Question: When we talk about the shattering of Adam HaRishon‘s soul into 600 thousand souls, do we mean those souls who came out of Egypt and those who are now going to be corrected and are going to the final correction?

Answer: A constant number of souls exist in the world, which need to be corrected. They are broken into parts, corrected, and reconnected into one common part. And so it continues like a puzzle assembling itself.

Therefore, we want to be attracted to a common goal, rise, and together raise several thousand more people related to us. There are more than a few thousand, more like hundreds of thousands. We will soon see that this is what will happen.

Then by uniting more and more, we will be able to get information about our connections. So let us move forward and increasingly feel the movement toward complete correction.

We will reveal what Adam, Hava, angels (Malachim) and so on are because we will begin to reveal the entire system of governance of the universe in the highest form.

The Reason for Appealing to the Upper Force

294.4Then, when he sees that he is powerless to do anything for society, there is room for prayer to the Creator to help him and give him strength and desire to engage in love of others (Rabash, Article 17, “The Agenda of the Assembly”).

As a rule, a person does not have the strength to do something for the sake of others because it is against his nature. We are egoists, inherently focused only on ourselves. And here you must incorporate into your friends, think about them, and envision yourself merging with them.

Therefore Rabash says you must exert efforts, then you will see that you do not have the strength to get closer to them, and then you will turn to the upper force.

Question: It turns out that all this is just to appeal to the upper force?

Answer: Yes, this is important because only from there can you get help.

Question: And why is it arranged in such a way that a person cannot, through his own efforts, achieve the importance of his friends for himself?

Answer: Because we can only exert efforts in egoistic actions. But here, it means rising above egoistic forces into the realm where only altruism, bestowal, and the importance of others reign. All these qualities must develop among us and prevail.

Toward a Stable Connection with the Creator

935Question: What does it mean to connect with the Creator in a supernatural way?

Answer: It means that you use everything you have at your disposal, in all your senses.

To strengthen a stable connection with the Creator, first and foremost you must be in a strong connection that leads to unity. To the extent that you are united with each other, the Creator will listen to you; otherwise, He will not.

Integrate with the Ten

528.01Question: How does a person determine whether their pain stems from distancing from the Creator or from lacking fulfillment of desires? After all, there is confusion that occurs in the descent.

Answer: Everyone should integrate with their ten and reveal their reaction to what the Creator does. Then all the friends will have a clearer picture of what is happening to them.

Question: If someone in the ten experiences suffering from a lack of fulfillment, can we build a true spiritual deficiency above this? Or is it the individual work of each?

Answer: No, this can be a group effort.

Question: What should our prayer be about?

Answer: Prayer should always be about coming closer to the Creator. Then suffering will disappear.

The Remedy

627.2All the sicknesses that I have visited upon Egypt I will not visit upon you” (Exodus 15:26).

Question: In Egypt we feel that we are suffering from illnesses. What do we feel and what do we ask for after leaving Egypt?

Answer: We ask the Creator first of all to heal us from egoism, and everything else is secondary.

Question: But at the moment of illness when it consumes me, how can I see the Creator and direct myself toward love?

Answer: Only with the help of the friends. If they support you, then you will be able to rise above your state to love, to adhesion with the Creator, and to feel the same attitude from Him.

Therefore, the entire group must be in a common intention, directed at the fact that such states are given in order to come closer to the Creator. Then, even if someone goes beyond the intention, they still do not let him stray far.

How Can We Feel What the Creator Needs?

95Question: What should we feel ashamed of before the Creator?

Answer: That He expects one thing from you, but you bring Him another.

Question: How can we feel exactly what He needs?

Answer: Kabbalists write that the Creator desires nothing but for us to love one another. Try to love each other in a way that allows you to feel the state of the Creator.

Currently, He is concealed from you because He does not want to upset you, He does not want to show you how dissatisfied He is with you. But you should behave in a way that your actions could bring Him contentment. Then He will not need to conceal Himself from you, and you will not need to conceal yourself from Him.

A Special Record in the Soul

293.1Every moment when I am in the ten, I feel how our connection is strengthening more and more in one form or another. I feel I am moving toward a state where we all will be in the same heart.

And the closer I get to this one heart, the more joyful I feel. I feel the Creator and the whole global soul above our world. That is the feeling we must try to achieve as soon as possible.

We are in constant motion, from the current point to the next, until the end of correction. Kabbalists promise us that we will achieve it.

Therefore, you need to be happy that you are on the path and have a goal in life that is above everything that lifts you to the top of the universe. The state of final correction is prepared for us and awaits us.

We should realize yet how lucky we are. But in fact, everyone has a record in the soul that distinguishes them from millions and billions of people who do not have this in their lives. They will start and end this life without achieving anything. And we, during this life, climb the spiritual ladder from degree to degree.

Therefore, we need to be joyful on this holiday of Purim, which symbolizes all our ascents. I am thrilled that more and more people are joining us daily, and the understanding is growing that we have a lucky ticket.

In The War against Egoism

507.03Question: In the war against egoism, there are situations where my strength is taken from me. I give more strength, but even more is taken from me. Where can I find strength?

Answer: Indeed, you are lying there and cannot do anything. Only friends can come to your aid, lift you up, and revive you.

They can feel you because you interact with them in some form. This means they are connected to you by receiving some signals from the Creator through you.
