The Rapprochement of the Hearts

931.01Question: Are rubbing hearts and melting in the friends different actions?

Answer: Rubbing hearts means that I feel the complete contrariness of my heart to the heart of a friend. When we are rubbing our hearts in this way, we feel how much everyone needs to give up on himself and annul his egoism, and then to this extent we will be more and more ready for connection. This is our work.

Question: How can I practically rub my heart with my friends in the ten in order to melt in them? Do I have to think about them, meet them, and pray?

Answer: You have to think about how to fill your friends through yourself. When you try to do that, you will see how much you still need to correct yourself. In this way, you will be going forward.

Open the Heart

261Question: Our task is to ask the Creator to be together in one heart. We constantly ask for this. How do we deal with the disappointment that sometimes arises when the Creator does not seem to hear our prayer?

Answer: It is natural that the Creator separates, alienates, and empties us so that we ask Him even more and see how dependent we are on this. Therefore we must always be careful not to move away from the friends. It is very important.

Not many words are needed here. There is nothing else but becoming so close that the Creator begins to reveal Himself between us. We begin to feel Him in our unity, and thus we come closer to greater and greater correction.

This is the entire wisdom of Kabbalah, although we learn various clever things from The Study of the Ten Sefirot, from the book The Tree of Life, and from other books. In general, Kabbalah is considered a very difficult, closed, and secret wisdom.

In fact none of this is important. The main thing is for a person to understand that he must open his heart by any means and be on this path all the time. You need to constantly urge yourself to connect with others because only in connection can you reveal your point in the heart, your soul.

Awaken Yourself

260.01Question: How does the Creator open our hearts? Is it through love for each friend or through perceiving the boundless good world of the Creator and the creations He created?

Answer: The Creator affects us in different ways. It is impossible to say exactly how. He awakens desires and aspirations in us, and at the same time all sorts of circumstances around us. This is how we move.

The main thing is to do our work, that is, to awaken ourselves to unification starting with the ten and further to the entire world Kli.

Manifestation of the Spiritual Structure

938.05Question: If I look at the group, at the spiritual environment, and at the same time try to focus on the Creator, on the point of unity, how does the structure of the ten Sefirot manifest itself?

Answer: We are gradually beginning to feel that there is a living network of connections between us that is always in motion, in transformation. As a result, we will experience various attitudes from our friends, from the world, from our surrounding, and we will begin to define these movements.

We need to reach a state where we find ourselves completely dependent, connected, and glued together to the extent that the internal changes of each of us will affect everyone.

In Kabbalah, this is called adhesion (Dvekut). Then we will see how in achieving this gluing between us the Creator begins to manifest Himself. This glue itself is Him who determines our spiritual states. This is how we will work and reveal spirituality.

A Gift from the Congress

942How can we unite as one man if everyone is initially so different? There is not a single person who is absolutely similar to another. And the whole nature is arranged in such a way that each being has unique qualities that distinguish him from others and are even opposite to them.

Therefore, all our work is done above our qualities. We cannot correct them; we can only attract the upper force, the reforming light, so that it connects us.

And then we will be able to be together, and to the extent of our connection, we will again become one body, one desire, one intention, called Adam HaRishon, and so we will achieve the goal of creation.

We do not need to look at how different we are, but despite all the differences we need to look for how to unite into one vessel for the sake of one goal, one Creator. And then all the differences that originally existed in us, which we could not correct but could only rise and unite above, will benefit us and strengthen the force of our unity.

Therefore, at the upcoming convention, we need to try to unite and inspire each other in order to advance. The convention gives everyone a unique opportunity to be inspired by thousands of people and then bring these impressions to their tens, thus gaining power many times greater than what they had before the convention.

This is a special gift, a special power that can be obtained during the convention, and that is why we are gathering in it. Each of us has a very small, tiny force. But when we unite, our forces are incorporated into one another and form one huge force.

Therefore, do not miss this opportunity. All we need these days is to be impressed by each other, by how much a whole swarm of opposing, alien forces lives in everyone, but I want to accept this force and get involved in this connection.

Multiplying Efforts

275If we could see through nature, we would discover how much each part of nature is in opposition and separation from the rest of the parts.

The same thing happens between people; no one is like the other. But it is precisely due to the fact that we are so different that we can rush toward each other and find such a connection that will multiply our efforts.

The Creator purposely broke us at the very beginning of creation and thus gave us the opportunity to overcome this separation and feel our connection at the end of creation 620 times stronger than at its beginning.

Contact of the Hearts

528.02Question: How do we set our heart in order so it can unite with others? What helps us to tune in correctly?

Answer: Open your heart and do not close it to your friends in the group. Try to do it.

We are now on the eve of the congress. Try to prepare your heart to be open to other friends you will meet in person or virtually during the congress.

In this case, in your common connection, you will feel that even silence can be very powerful. After all, when you come closer together and connect, there is a contact of the hearts. We need nothing more.

Demand the Creator’s Intervention

568.01Question: I stopped being an example for my ten. It was important for me to awaken the hearts of my friends, but my selfishness has dragged me very deep inside and nothing helps. How can I get out of this state?

Answer: You must set an example for everyone about how to get out of this state. And no matter how you feel, you just need to open yourself up and connect with everyone. That is all.

Previously, the Creator gave you strength; you were a beginner. But now you have become wiser, you have all sorts of reasoning, and therefore you must appeal to the Creator.

You need a connection with your friends so that you can help each other achieve a state where you all demand intervention from the Creator.

Question: What should we ask and demand from the Creator during our common prayer?

Answer: You must ask for only one thing: to rise above your egoistic heart to the request for mutual unification. After all, each of us is just a small particle.

If we unite, then we will have the power to demand, ask, and convince the Creator so that He will raise us spiritually so we will not remain broken, separated, and worthless.

To the Convention with the Force of the Ten

938.01We will have a grand convention, and many friends in the tens will be in different parts of our planet. It is very important that everyone not just arrive or come to the convention, but that each will bring all the force of their ten to pass to the connection of the convention. Each friend should be perceived as a representative of the ten and will also give strength to his ten.

Based on this, we will gather in a mass in quantity and quality in which the Creator will manifest.

If a person comes to the convention himself, he has one small force; he cannot annul his egoism. But if he comes with the strength of ten, he already annulled his egoism and comes to the convention ready to unite. It will be a huge force.
