Why Is It Possible To Acquire The Attribute Of Bestowal Only In A Group?

527Question: Why in this world can we work internally, only in a group? After all, our attitude toward other people has not been corrected either.

Answer: The spiritual world is the attribute of bestowal, the act of bestowal from oneself, from one’s egoism. If you are not in a group and do not create this attribute inside of yourself through the connection between you, you cannot bestow.

Besides bestowing in the group, you also need to be connected to the upper light, which will enable you to do so. In order to do this, you need to work on yourselves truly and seriously, and you will encounter very complicated states if you do not want to do so.

You can engage only in the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah without using it in practice. This type of study will explain a lot about the world and give you a certain sense of peace, independence, and the right attitude toward different events in life. You will reveal and know a lot, even without attaining the upper light, and your life will be interesting.

But, if you want to be active participants in the system of the upper world, you must be among friends and try with all your might to attain the attribute of bestowal.

Castles In The Air

935Question: You said recently that everything is developing so quickly that one wants to slow down the pace of this development. How can this be expressed in a group?

Answer: I sometimes hear from you that the movement forward has become so fast that it is like uncontrollable galloping horses. But this is actually how it has to be because these “horses” are managed by the Creator, and every new state is totally unexpected, while we must attain connections in faith above reason in every new state only through our common movement, so that below us a clear surface will be created, on which we can stand, even if we suddenly find ourselves in the air.

The attribute of Bina is the attribute of the air. There is such a concept as a castle, flying in the air. When we perceive and absorb the attribute of bestowal inside us, we feel that we are suspended in the air, and this is what we are being taught to get used to. We no longer have any egoistic base, and we cannot count on anything. There is no present, past, or future and there is no attachment to anything or to anyone. We are simply suspended not knowing where, how, and what is happening to us.

You accept this state and even more, but on one condition: that you do not know how it will happen and you also do not want to know. You only want to know that as a result of this condition, the whole correct state in the form of pleasure will go to the Creator.

The Creator Behind The Wall

931.01Question: Today nations are mixed in Europe like in ancient Babel. If the connection between people is wrong, great cruelty will gradually be revealed. What should we do in order to let people in Europe know about this?

Answer: We need to ascend above the contradictions and the differences between us and not pay any attention to them, and ask the upper light to unite us. How? That is its business, it is its force. We need to simply constantly be drawn to it from the center of the ten.

Try not to perceive the world personally in your spiritual work, “I, I, I.” Get rid of the “I,” and stick only to “we” only through the ten. Then if you feel good or bad you will constantly turn to the Creator and receive His response accordingly.

Everything needs to be built on this, without any personal aspirations or requests from the Creator. That’s the problem, because you will constantly catch yourselves asking for yourselves, speaking for yourselves, trying to receive for yourselves, while all this needs to be only emotionally in the ten.

You should turn to the Creator while being emotionally in the ten, since He is also there. It is as if you are standing in the ten against a wall, and the Creator is behind the wall.

The Basic Principle Of Spiritual Development

938.07Question: Is the basic principle of spiritual development to remember the Creator each and every second, or is this not a must?

Answer: The basic principle of spiritual development is to tie everything unexceptionally to the Creator, because “there is none else besides Him,” and everything in us was created and is managed by Him.

We have direct contact only with the Creator, and this connection affects us. But in order to connect to Him we need to unite in the ten, and then from the ten we will be able to act with Him mutually and interactively.

Question: How can we measure the spiritual growth of the group?

Answer: The spiritual growth of the group is measured according to the level of mutual guarantee, mutual connection, and mutual support between the friends, and the level of their loyalty to each other. You need to understand that in the spiritual world you are one unique whole. This is how you scrutinize yourselves.

“I Have Seen An Opposite World”

934Question: What practical actions should we perform if we cannot annul the hatred when we feel repulsed by each other?

Answer: If we judge according to what our Kabbalist sages said, we see that there are only two actions we can perform.

First, the friends should not stop talking between them and should at least remain on the level of verbal connections. They should try to understand and support each other and know that all the guidance they receive stems from the Creator. We should not sink to the level to where we are thrown out from the spiritual action and believe that everything that we see is actually true and not that it is only the Creator who arranges things this way for the sake of correction.

Second, we need to work on ourselves together, as each one tries to help the friend, no matter how and by what. It is because I cannot get out of this swamp by pulling myself out by my own hair.

In principle, this is how the ten works by turning to the Creator. We need to do the same thing that Kabbalists did 2,000 years ago.

If we begin to engage in this seriously, soon we will feel how it affects us positively and we will gradually understand and feel the work of the upper light on us, not in our current feeling, but in our current understanding. Additional emotions and insights will appear in us, both integral and global. The emotions from the Creator and from the ten will dwell in us and we will begin to see the world differently.

As it says: “I have seen an opposite world,” a world that operates according to different laws and rules in which opposites support each other, a world in which hate generates love that is actually supported and sustained by hate.

Baal HaSulam tells us in his articles that it is actually thanks to the fact that we are all different, that we can attain high levels of development, yet at the same time, we must not kill or annul anything, because the greater the diversity of views in the society, the more it can attain higher levels of development.

See The World From A New Perspective

528.01The Book of Zohar tells us how its authors, Rabbi Shimon’s students, gathered before the lessons and each time revealed a new depth of creation and described it in this book. Before they focused on the lesson, they felt such enormous hatred between them that they were ready to kill each other. This is how big their egoism was.

We have to learn how to rebuild the connections between us, at least with the same inclination, according to the same system. This means building another floor above us, “love will cover all crimes.” The crimes and the sins remain, and a connection is built above them between us. This is how we exist in two worlds at the same time: in our world and in the spiritual world.

By trying to focus ourselves on each other in the ten, we awaken and summon the gradual impact of the surrounding light unto us, and with its help we need to build a second floor in each ten. We need to demand this from the Creator, to do everything that depends on us on our level: to pray, to cry out, to ask Him, and then we will succeed. We will begin to feel that we ascend above everything that we know and above our reason, above the perception of the world, and that we begin to see it differently, synthetically, so that despite our first egoistic floor, we can see that everything is absolutely globally connected.

Then all the problems and differences disappear, and instead, they begin to complement each other, which is the spiritual system of connection. This is actually what we need to learn. We engage in it in the tens and in our study.

This is the goal of our study,  our lives in this world, as we return to the corporeal state again and again and restore and rebuild the connection between us that covers all the discrepancies and disagreements that will remain and grow between us more and more. This is how it works.

How To Create A Correct Request To The Creator

938.07Question: How can we create a more precise request through the ten?

Answer: You can create a more precise request if together you discuss among yourselves what you want to ask for, what your essential request really is, in order to connect as one man in one heart, in one desire, to the one upper source. Then it will be a real request.

It cannot be just any request. You can express your positive attitude toward the Creator, your gratefulness that He has brought you together, that He has brought you close to Him, and that He wants to feel your desire to get closer to Him, to respond to Him. He has given you such conditions that now you can learn to speak to Him.

You are inside the system and this system is the Creator, and it is waiting to respond to you.

Holding The Steering Wheel Of The Management Of Creation

934A ten, the minimal system that resembles the whole of creation, can impact everything. This means that you have the steering wheel by which you can impact not only our world, but also all the worlds.

If you mutually cooperate correctly in the ten, you ascend to a higher level in the hierarchy of mutual cooperation of the whole system. To the extent that you are connected between you, this is the impact from the level in which you find the connections between you in the ten. Then you really have the steering wheel in your hands.

And people around you will begin to understand that we are entering a special living system, which actually exists and which actually impacts the whole world. It is only to the extent that we participate correctly in the ten, that we participate openly and practically all over the world, in the whole system of creation, in all the worlds.

What is this principle? There are 125 levels of spiritual attainment, and we have to ascend to the first level. To the extent that we unite in a ten, we will begin to determine our state on the spiritual ladder and thus ascend. The greater the unity in the ten, the higher the level we will ascend. The more we unite, the higher the level we will ascend.

The higher you are, the wider perspective you automatically have of the integral system of all the worlds, and thus you impact them more accordingly. This means that the steering wheel is gradually revealed, and thanks to it, you can navigate and manage things a bit to the left and a bit to the right. You begin to understand the gradual cooperation of all the elements in the system. You will be able to actually manage them at least like in a plane, and it will be even more concrete than being a navigator in the cockpit.

You will see the extent to which all the levels of inanimate, vegetative,  animate, and speaking nature that are in you, and the levels that are in the ten, in the connection between you, will be connected and tuned to perceiving the impact of the whole system by the ten, and to manage it through the ten.

This is the phase that we have to adapt to realistically this year. I am truly hopeful that we will reach it. The main thing is to invoke the desire to want to feel that inside us, to participate in the giant schema of the whole creation and to be inside it!

A person needs to understand how the system exists in mutual cooperation, how it breathes, how he impacts it, and how it impacts him. There cannot be any special revelations in the levels of of inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature that operate instinctively and quite primitively.

However, on the level of the speaking is our world group and also some other small groups that are relatively striving to reach this feeling of creation in their own way. Other than that, the souls that have already been through these phases of evolution and are on different levels also connect here and exist in this dimension.

Penetrating Inside A Ten

942Question: I have a regular great ten, and we prepare for the lesson together and support each other during the day. During the day, however, I create other tens in order to disseminate or do different jobs in the building.

As a result I feel a bit uncomfortable. How should I build the relations with the regular ten and with the collective corporeal life with the others?

Answer: You should be glad and feel comfortable because it is basically the same thing. There aren’t any differences between the tens.

I look at the tens that are in front of me, and I would gladly sit with any of them. Each ten is so wonderful in its uniqueness, and it is absolutely amazing to see how wonderful it is!

I see how they speak, how they communicate between them, how they mutually cooperate, and how connected they are. It is amazing how different they all are, but I would gladly be part of one or another or yet another. It really helps us develop! And it is very good when one person can be part of several tens.

I was in favor of random tens from the start, but at the moment people feel better in regular tens, and I understand them. I think this will soon pass.

When the internal model of a ten will appear in each of us, we will be able to fill it by connecting to more people who are members of our movement. We will not feel the people themselves, but their internal essence, and they will begin to fill the model of the ten that is built in us. This means that ten seemingly empty places will be created inside each one, and will be filled by impressions from one circle or another.

This will provide a person with quicker and fuller attainment of the whole soul. After all, the general soul is not made of one primitive ten, but of many tens, each of which is integrated in another.

By penetrating the spiritual connection in the ten, we will begin to understand what it lacks. We would like to divide it into parts, but this is impossible since we don’t feel that yet. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that all of creation should be composed of a great amount of tens, which means that the Sefirot are divided into many tens, or vice versa, and are connected into many Partzufim, and thus, into one whole ten.

But this whole ten that is attained in the world of Ein Sof (Infinity) comprises an infinite amount of tens. So it is through this ten that you will receive more than from all the other tens, an infinite amount of feelings and emotions.

Should I Tell My Group About My Problems?

556Question: Suppose something happens in my life that I regard as a negative impact. I come to the group and share the details of this event with them. What should the group do? How can I feel the support from the group? Should they internally turn to the Creator in order to help me?

Answer: You should not even tell the group about your problems. You should simply get the confidence from the group that everything is done by the Creator in order to tie you to the group and through the group to Him.

There is no other reason for Him to cause you this unpleasantness. The Creator does it only for one purpose: for you to feel the need for the group and for Him because in the group you work on the right attitude outside yourself toward Him so that you will later reveal Him between you.

So there is no need to tell the group about your problems. The main thing is to try to reveal the Creator in the group and then turn to Him through the group.
