An Appeal To The Creator Through The Group

944Question: What is an appeal to the Creator through the group?

Answer: When I appeal to the Creator, I ask that He should be revealed to me as the source of my thoughts and my feelings.

Usually, a person appeals to the Creator when he feels bad, but when he feels good, he forgets about it, because we are egoists.

But if a person appeals to the Creator through the group, it means that he wants to systematically integrate into the spiritual work. This happens gradually through personal contacts with the Creator when he invites the Creator and the Creator disappears, he invites Him, and He disappears. By this kind of movement, a personal desire is gradually created in a person, which demands the integration in a group.

This is a totally different kind of communication with the Creator, which takes place through the common force, through common integration in the friends. Then a new sensor appears in the person, which he can aim at feeling the Creator because the Creator is revealed in the right integration of the whole ten. We are yet to feel all that.

The First Grasp Of Spirituality

530When many groups approach the transition from the corporeal to the spiritual world and every ten wants to unite and realize it within them, this is already a huge event, the birth of the soul.

We know from corporeal life that the main thing is the beginning of the pregnancy, its retention so that there is no miscarriage, and then childbirth. This is a very complex process in which all sorts of complications are possible. But when all this passes and a person is born, he begins to grow.

The most difficult thing in spiritual work is the first grasp of spirituality: connection around the spiritual point, which is one for the whole ten. If we all grasp it, we begin to develop, receive more and more fulfillment from it.

The process of spiritual growth consists of ups and downs, the alternating growth of the quality of reception and the quality of bestowal. After all, we cannot receive the power of bestowal without feeling the lack of it. And so we must first descend into egoism, feel all of its evil and the necessity to correct it into bestowal.

So we keep swaying back and forth like a beating pulse or the processes taking place in an embryo. But this is already the work of the force of bestowal on our natural force of reception in accordance to our desire to move under the authority of the force of bestowal.

This is where the birth in the spiritual world begins; it starts with the desire to annul oneself in the ten so that the upper force will act on us and do with us whatever it wants. We are ready to completely separate ourselves from our egoism in order to become like the Creator.

If a person tries to implement it himself, he will certainly end up with a miscarriage, because he is alone. But if he is included in the ten, in the friends, then he will not drop out. If we unite and strive for the same goal, for the same power of mutual bestowal and support each other, then we begin to develop correctly.

And as soon as I separate from the ten, I become dead, like an organ cut off from the body, and there will certainly be a miscarriage. After all, spirituality, unlike corporeality, is perfect, and there can be nothing partial. If someone goes out, it creates a problem for everyone.

Therefore, it is necessary to protect the connection between us and the connection with the Creator in every possible way. To the extent that everyone annuls himself before others and everyone annuls before the Creator, we give the Creator the opportunity to take care of us, like a drop of seed in the mother’s womb giving itself to the authority of the mother.

The Master Loves His Work

528.03We need to reach such an atmosphere in the ten that we enjoy the work against our egoistic desires as a special art. A true master loves his work no matter with what material he works, whether it is wood or metal. He enjoys when he creates.

Cooking dinner can be an art, it all depends on the desire of the person involved in the work. We need to make sure that we begin to enjoy the spiritual work and that it does not cause us suffering. We need to enjoy the resistance of the egoism and we must overcome it.

After all, every moment when I overcome my egoism, I feel that I am a craftsman in the process of creation and can be a partner of the Creator, turn egoism into bestowal, and rise above it. By doing so, I bring contentment to the Creator.

Rising above egoism is an art, and I feel like a master equal to the Creator because I try to be His assistant. I move from the side of my egoism to the side of the Creator and work on myself, on the material embedded in me, so that together with the Creator I can sculpt myself into a man, Adam.

A Lifeline In The Flow Of Life

934We need to build in our ten such protection, like a safety net, a lifeline, or a safety belt, that would support everyone. Then a person will feel that he always has something to hold on to so that foreign desires will not lead him away from the path.

There should be a feeling in the group that we are going together toward the same goal, according to a reliable method, trying to get closer to each other and to the Creator.

The main thing is not to forget that any situation comes directly from the upper force. It is simply necessary to remember this so that we will not make mistakes in any state. If I remember that I receive everything from the Creator, then I am guided toward the correct side from which I will obtain all the qualities to turn this state into a good state and advance through it.

Therefore, you must always be in the feeling that “There is none else besides Him.” This is how I correctly aim myself in the flow of life, which comes as a wave and washes over the entire world.

Look at the bewilderment and confusion in the world today. No one knows what will happen with the pandemic and what will happen to the world in general. If we understand that we are under the influence of the upper force that controls the entire system and can change everything in one swoop, then we only need to establish a connection with this force and learn from Him why He did all this and what the reason is. This will help all of us reach the purpose of creation together.

Connection With The Creator Through The Friends

938.03Question: How can I invoke sufferings inside me because I have no connection with the group?

Answer: You don’t need to invoke anything under any circumstances. The only thing you should do is to search for connection with the Creator through the connection with the friends.

Advancement this way is gradual because we have to exit one nature, to stop feeling the self, and begin to feel the group and the Creator inside it.

There is a switch of worlds here as when I feel myself, it is my world, and when I feel the group and the Creator inside it, it is the upper world.

This is practical work. You cannot sit at home and imagine everything theoretically. You must implement the method and engage in dissemination.

What Is Correct The MAN (Prayer) Based On?

942Question: What is the correct MAN (prayer) based on? How can we feel its foundations?

Answer: It is very simple, MAN cannot be for yourself. It can be for a friend, and even better for the whole group. Instead of my desire, I take your desire and begin to ask for you, that’s all.

It is a good thing if the whole group does that. It says that a person cannot free himself from prison, but that only his friends can free him. It is the same for each and every one of us, as each of us takes everyone else out of prison. We can be free of the egoistic prison only if the friends pray for us.

To pray means to ask the Creator to correct my friend, and each and every one should do so. If I ask for nine friends in the ten, I will necessarily be the tenth. I don’t need to ask for myself, because the nine Sefirot determine everything and Malchut is derived from them.

Therefore, everything that is given to a person is not given in order for him to ask, but so that he does not ask for it. This is called “rising above oneself”, restricting oneself (tzimtzum). Instead, I must accept the first nine Sefirot, that is, all the desires of my companions. If I reconstruct myself in this way, I create a block out of myself that can turn to the Creator. It is called a Partzuf.

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.
