Rise above Criticism

528.02Question: You said that it makes no sense to criticize a friend because the Creator created him that way. But how can you suppress some criticism in yourself so as not to harm him and everyone else?

Answer: Criticism can only be about dissemination, nothing else, because by disseminating, he helps everyone, and by not disseminating, he drills a hole in the boat. Just this. Everything else is not his.

His “I” depends only on how to make the most effective use of his properties and his capabilities.

Question: Do you mean internal or external dissemination?

Answer: Both.

Question: And how can I know what spreads internally?

Answer: We can still see his efforts. I can see that.

Maximum Use of a Question

234Question: In the lesson, we can dissolve in the field of love and light and not ask about anything at all. On the other hand, a question gives a connection with the teacher and raises the ten, and this is also important.

How can we make the right analysis and reach a balance so that both states feel in contact with the Creator?

Answer: It is necessary to make the right decision: how much, when, and what you can ask so that there is maximum benefit for you and the rest of the lesson participants.

Rise above the Desire

232.05Everyone who is higher than his friend, his egoism is greater. The more you grow, the stronger the ego develops, only it becomes different; it soaks up and absorbs everyone.

And then you grow by fulfilling the desires of others and trying to reveal the general system of connection; in this way it becomes yours. Your starting, root point—the basis of life, the soul—is the starting point from which you constantly act.

That is why our methodology is called Kabbalah (receiving), in the end you receive.

This methodology explains how you can truly absorb the entire universe in all its depth. Everything that Hollywood invents, everything that a person can possibly think of, all of this multiplied by billions of times more you can absorb into yourself and expand to a state where you no longer feel the limitations of earthly existence in any parameters, along any axis of time, or volume, or even the axis of sensations.

Worse and better—all these parameters change and become relative. You are qualitatively changing so much that the transformation of inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels and their various modifications cannot even be compared to what you go through.

It all starts with the realization that it is your desire that becomes something that exists separately from you and it is in it that you begin to work. You set it in motion as some kind of mechanism, change its parameters, process it, and feel it. You are above the desire!

Where to Begin?

942Question: My desire to bring all my friends to the Creator has turned into zero. I do not know how to start all over again. How should I proceed?

Answer: You need to start by praying together to the Creator, asking Him to help you to be closer to each other, to feel yourself in a single united heart, and from this heart to turn to Him.

Question: We know that thought has tremendous force. If you constantly imagine that all the hearts in the ten are connected into one, then in the end it will be so; they will connect. How can we use thought for the ten’s advancement?

Answer: Think about it all the time.

Hate Creation?

261Comment: You once said that in every person there is both the Creator and a creation. I must love the Creator and hate creation.

My Response: No, I would not say that creation should be hated because it is also a part of the Creator coming from above. I just have no right to agree with it. I must work against this egoistic part together with its owner.

And my friend is a person who can separate his “I” from his egoism and from his point in the heart.

Egoism was given to him by the Creator initially and so was the point in the heart. But it begins to manifest itself from some point in life. Therefore, I relate to the personal “I” of a friend.

His point in the heart and his egoism are two parameters that are given to him by the Creator. Therefore, by relating to his “I,” I help him in developing his point in the heart and in suppressing his animal egoistic qualities.

How Can I Come Closer to the Friends?

938.02Question: How do I come closer to the friends, where does it all start?

Answer: It all starts with the recognition of the need, of the fact that you definitely need to come closer to them. If you do not feel a common inner connection with them, then there is no point for you to continue your movement toward the Creator. First, you must establish a heartfelt connection with your friends, that is, the connection in the depths of your heart.

In this common heart, you aim to the Creator and want to feel Him more so that He would fill you.

Work on the Prayer

530Question: It seems to me that my friends and I are in different time frames, and everyone feels something different. It happens that one person feels that something needs to be done right now, and the whole group feels that it needs to be done later. What is the reason for our different senses of time?

Answer: It depends on the sensitivity of the heart of each one in the group.

Question: Yesterday a friend showed me an example of true love. But I want to run away from the burning shame that I will never be able to love my friends so much. How can I work with this state?

Answer: You are now going through a very good state. It cleanses you and brings you closer to the others. You should pray for everyone, including yourself, to feel that you all are in one heart. It must come true, if not today, then tomorrow.

Nothing will happen by itself. The Creator is the only one who can help you. We need to work on the prayer.

Questions about Spiritual Work—18

281.02Question: Why does the Creator send troubles to the righteous, and they depart from this world first?

Answer: Because they have to move forward.

Question: If you have already passed through lowliness and can be nothing, then what else can you ask the Creator for? I do not feel the need for anything anymore. “Save me!” but from what?

Answer: From the fact that you are distanced from your friends and cannot reveal the Creator in the connection between us.

Question: You always give the example of Rabbi Shimon whose disciples hated each other, but they did great work. Why would there be hatred between them?

Answer: They were doing great work—the connection between them—because they tried to be only in this aspiration, constantly, continuously, and in any circumstances.

Question: What prevents me from being honest with myself and why is it so difficult? After all, I harm myself and the ten. How can I correct this?

Answer: You are afraid to reveal that you are such an egoist. Everyone will know who you are, what you are, what thoughts you have in your head, and what desires you have in your heart. You want to embellish and hide it all. Stop worrying about it.

Question: Rabash writes that the Creator waits until one reveals what he has to do. I know what I have to do, and we have a long way to go. What do we need to worry about?

Answer: You only need to worry about the fact that when you connect with each other, you cannot experience love for the Creator.

A Heart-Opening Convention

931.02The upcoming convention that will be held at the end of the month is called “Opening the Heart.” How can we prepare ourselves for the convention in order to really feel how we present the Creator with a heart ready to be purified?

Many people from different countries will come to the convention ready to join the global connection in order to feel like one man with one heart. And in this way, we will achieve a great force, and it will be easier for us to draw the Creator to us, as it is said: “My sons have defeated me.”

This convention is another step toward final correction. We can achieve anything we want during it; there are no restrictions on this.

After all, we live in the era of the Messiah, in the so-called “last generation,” and we study according to the correct methodology. Everyone only needs to direct their heart toward the connection with the ten, with hundreds and thousands, and thus all together to connect with the Creator.

We need to understand what it means to be together. After all, the convention is not just a gathering in one hall, but everyone needs to feel that he is ready to provide a place for everyone in his heart and mind.

The World Is a Continuous Unity

275Question: Can I be happy about unity in the world even if I do not feel it?

Answer: Try to imagine that the world is a continuous unity, and we are all in complete correction, in connection with each other in one heart.

Try it, and will see that you are already starting to feel it. Ask the Creator to make you feel it, ask to be closer to Him. And so it will gradually happen.

But the best thing is when the whole ten asks for it.
