Question: Should we constantly cultivate the importance of the principle “There is none else besides Him”?

Answer: If the friends in the group think about how none of them should forget to identify the Creator as a root cause of their states, then you will really help each other.

This stage is called mutual guarantee; it begins from the fact that we simply mechanically want to help each other keep ourselves in the thought that “There is none else besides Him.” At the same time, each of us thinks about the other.

When we all think this way about each other together, we “turn on” the mutual guarantee and it works. In this case, each member of the group remembers more often that the Creator is the source of his or her thoughts and feelings, and they begin to form, to connect with each other into one network.

By constantly helping the friends remember that we are mutually included into each other and connected to the Creator, we try to identify the Creator as our common source. Each of us then becomes connected with others in such a way that the signal from the Creator passes through each one to everyone else. This is another level of connection.

Question: What are the degrees of power over the heart and over spiritual states?

Answer: The power over the spiritual state lies in domination over egoism, since it separates us from the spiritual one. It is possible to master egoism only with the help of the upper light. It does not depend on our willpower, strength of our character, or the stern vows that we take upon ourselves.

It all depends on how much a person includes himself in the group and can dissolve in it. In this measure, he will more correspond to the higher light, the property of the Creator, and will gradually become closer to Him.

The Creator is not always in hiding. I can reveal Him at some stage, and He will immediately disappear so that I can go further and focus even more on Him. Suppose I caught Him with my new, more corrected properties, and He disappears again so that I again focus on Him with my kinder properties, which I develop in even greater conjugation with the group, and so on.

If I am a part the ten, we should make such mutual intersections with each other so that a uniform field appears between us.

When we strive to create this field, the Creator appears within it. That is, the Creator is the result of the desire of the ten to be as one. This is the main condition.

Question: Have you ever seen a ten in our world that reached the light of Hassadim?

Answer: I haven’t. Close to it, yes. Not a ten, but a smaller number of people.

Question: How long did it take them to reach that state?

Answer: It doesn’t matter because it depends on many variables. Such revelation can happen with five to six people in a couple of years, or might take a decade for a ten. But I don’t believe that it can happen sooner than in three to five years. This is the minimal time.

Question: How can I unite my desire with the group’s desire when I want to hide even the smallest degree of the Creator’s greatness as a personal attainment? It is too personal for me to share.

Answer: The best way to progress is to leave all your desires, everything you have, only take strength from it, enter the group, and try to turn to the Creator through it. Take all the aspirations of the friends from the group as if you are an adult and they are small children.

This is what you need to gather from them and then appeal to the Creator with a request to protect them, raise them, direct them to think correctly so that they feel how they should be interconnected, how they should rise in a common connection in order to create a Kli (vessel)—a place for the Creator to be revealed. This should all be in order to give Him contentment, and at the same time you should also be content by giving Him pleasure.

We always move in two levels: egoism and connection above it, unification, and gladness in order to please the Creator. We must clearly work on these two levels.

You will then feel how you emerge into the duality of the upper world where both the corpuscular and the wave theory of light work. That is, light is perceived as waves or particles depending on whether you observe the electrons passing through.

You will see that in reality, it is all one in the spiritual world. Only our egoism divides it into different levels. Therefore, in every level we get different opinions, desires, combinations, everything that kills our world, but this is precisely so that in the next, higher level, we will perceive perfection.

Question: A person has a period of accumulating suffering. Does a ten have such a period?

Answer: If you are in a group, you do not need to accumulate suffering. You need to collect the friends’ aspirations and desires and elevate them to the Creator, like how parents ask for their children. This is what we all need to do.

If everyone asks for others, it will be a serious request. The Creator pays attention not to the actual desires that He awakens in us, but to the way we, through our efforts, leave our desires, take the desires of the friends, and ask for them. The most important thing is the quality of our appeal to the Creator.

Question: How can we stay on the spiritual path when wherever we turn we see only our egoism?

Answer: You need to increase your work in the group and try to cancel your egoism toward each other. You have to show that you specifically are playing along with each other, envying one another, to constantly rise above yourself.

This can be realized only in the group until you start receiving help from above. You can do this very quickly.

Question: If everything inside and outside of me are parts of the system that controls me, then why precisely through the connection with the friends can I control myself and the system?

Answer: It is because they go together with you to search for this connection. Take any friends in the group and try to connect with them.

We all are different, no one orders particular friends for himself. Connect with those in the group.

We all are in a single system and are designed in advance to suit each other. Therefore, we are assembled this way from above. We have some spiritual potential within us. The upper light through its influence pulls us to the revelation of the Creator.

Question: Is it easier to feel this in the Kabbalistic environment?

Answer: It is not just easier. It is the only opportunity.

Question: Do you have a recommendation of what emotions we should fill the group with?

Answer: Only positive ones. Only with aspiration to the goal. You must set an example for the friends without even speaking about it. They should see by looking at you how much you aspire toward the goal, desire it. With that, you are doing a great service to them and yourself.

The inspiration that you emanate onto them comes back to you and pulls you forward. You multiply your aspiration to the goal 620 times.

If everyone conducted himself this way in the group, you would move forward like a rocket.

The whole science of Kabbalah, the revelation of the spiritual world and the Creator, the exit from our miserable and temporary existence into an eternal and perfect existence—everything is open to you. Take it, use it, and have great fortune in life!

Question: Quite often the initial feeling says one thing and then the mind kicks in and corrects the feeling. What should one listen to in the work for the Creator?

Answer: On the spiritual path, we are thrown from side to side, and we undergo all sorts of states: disappointment, delight, fulfillment, devastation, interaction with the friends and disconnection from them toward solitude, and so on.

It is necessary for a person to feel all of this. He deliberately undergoes such states, in order to choose the point of contact with the Creator from them. Most importantly, one should not remain in such states.

All states that we undergo in the group are good. They lead to spiritual development. Even if they seem to be half empty and unnecessary, it is not so. Therefore, try to devote as much time as possible to the connection between you and the friends.

For example, I teach every day, write tweets, answer questions, compose blog posts, etc. Because of this, I advance.

What is special in what I do? I answer the small questions of beginners and so on. Yet, through the connection with other souls, I help them rise and connect—precisely this is how each one of us develops.

Question: How can one use one’s individuality for the sake of a group and advancement?

Answer: When you begin working with a group you see how your qualities are clearly directed against the friends. There is nothing in you that can be correlated with them somehow.

You are completely different, distant from each other. You confront each other and hate each other. It is exactly here that you have an opportunity to connect with each other. So be it.

Question: How can a person verify that his perception of the group, friends, teacher, and Kabbalah are true if he does this from his uncorrected state?

Answer: It doesn’t matter. You work in relation to the group, so check yourself only regarding your friends. Do not worry, this is an established methodology. It comes from the very purpose of creation, from the connection between us. It cannot fail. In general, nothing in the world works, except for it.
