Question: How can you check whether you are applying your 100% effort toward the group’s common center so that a proper circle is formed?

Answer: One hundred percent effort in the group can be checked by whether you are left without a single thought about yourself because you understand that all your attainments, even egoistic (Lo Lishma) ones exist only in its center.

There is no other place where you could reveal anything greater than earthly, material life except in the group’s central point. And now, all together, like children in a kindergarten, try to make a circle!

But where is that center? How do you find it? There is no center; it is an imaginary point. First you must make the circle, and then you will find its center. This approach is accepted in the spiritual realm.

In the material world, you first choose the center and then draw a circle around it with a compass. In the spiritual world, we reveal the central point in which the Creator is found precisely by building the circle. And then we reveal Him. We proceed from below upward in our revelation.

Within a single person, there is nothing to be done; he will remain at the degree of animal desire. But if he builds a circle with other people, a human form, Adam, is formed, that is, one similar to the Creator. If everyone is in balance, in harmony, all connected, that form that resembles the Creator, is called Adam, a man.

How then do we by our common efforts build the circle among us? All the writings of RABASH about the group explain that. Each must annul himself relative to the others in order to receive from them the greatness of the goal. And the goal is the attainment of mutual bestowal.

We all together apply a single common effort toward one another, and all together toward the Creator. This is called: “Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one.” After all, we all wish to build among us a network of mutual connections that covers and fills the entire circle we construct. And when we complete it, we reveal the Creator in the center of that constructed circle.

We sense Him throughout the whole network that covers this circle and stretches between us, but His root is in the very center.

We all understand how important prayer is, which emanates from our connection with each other, from a common heart. It has the power to rise directly to the Creator and enter into Him so that He will feel that we are all directed in only one direction: toward the connection between us and Him. Let’s hope that we will be able to do this. May the Creator help us!

The main thing is to achieve the right prayer, the right desire, by uniting all hearts into one heart, and from it raise our request to the Creator. We will try to create this common force, which is all directed at the Creator, and it will help us rise to the Creator and embrace each other. And then we will surely receive the same answer from Him. The Creator will embrace us all together and unite us into one body with this embrace.

Proper prayer is a request that comes from our common heart and reaches the “heart” of the highest level. Each of us joins this common heart, which aspires directly to the Creator and is included in Him. We have no other desire, and there is no other place for us but to feel ourselves at this central point of connection between all of us and in union with the Creator.

The task of every person at the congress is to find a way to unite with his ten and all the other tens into one big spiritual Kli, and to unite this common Kli with the Creator. That is, to unite into “one man with one heart” and thereby reveal the Creator.

We all cancel ourselves out and want to unite together into one desire in order to feel and reveal the Creator in this desire. Even if we are still far from each other, our desire to unite will bring us closer and raise our bond to the height of “one man with one heart.” And from this point, we will feel fused with the Creator into one whole.

Question: We are supposed to receive the light in order to pass it on to our friends. How should we correctly approach this understanding?

Answer: You must appeal to the upper Partzuf, the Partzuf of Adam Kadmon. It is He who grants you the ability to perform restriction (Tzimtzum), to establish a screen (Masach), to raise reflected light (Ohr Hozer), and to receive in order to bestow (Lekabel al Menat Lehashpia).

All these actions can only be carried out with His help. The upper Partzuf must perform these actions upon you after you express your desire for them to take place.

41. What is a “circle” ?

If there is no discernment of above and below among the four phases of the will to receive, it is regarded as a circle (like an image of a corporeal circle, where there is no discernment of up or down). Because of that, the four phases are regarded as four concentric circles one inside the other, where it is impossible to distinguish up from down in them (The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Questions and Answers on the Meaning of Words”).

A “circle,” in which there is no difference between top and bottom, does not mean a desire that simply cannot be measured or evaluated, and therefore we cannot tell what is more important (higher) or less important (lower) in it. Nor does it mean a single, solid desire that contains no components and naturally has neither top nor bottom.

A “round desire” is a verified set of desires united by a special mutual connection in which they are completely equal and have neither “top” nor “bottom.” This is what is called a “circle” or a “sphere.”

But in relation to what can we measure and confirm that all these desires are equal and form a circle? Within this circle, there is one special point common to all these desires—the center of the circle. And in relation to this center, all the points (desires) are equal; therefore, they form a circle.

This center is not some additional, separate desire. It is their common unity, and they themselves create this center. And therefore, in relation to this center, each acts equally toward the others. Each one may possess his own strength and character, but in their relative form there remains complete equality—and that is why it is a circle.

This is precisely how a group is built in the form of a circle if each one acts with one hundred percent of his ability in relation to the common desire (the central point).

If all the desires of Malchut of the world of infinity, an infinite multitude of desires, unite together in one common center, and each applies proportionally equal effort, then the resulting form is a circle.

Question: Regarding the ten, is the reflected light our annulment toward the friends?

Answer: Yes, it all starts with that.

Question: How do we transmit the light in the ten?

Answer: Only in the ten can you transmit the light to each other. We study this through our work in the ten.

The main thing in spiritual work is constant care for the environment. The greater and broader it appears in my eyes, the more strongly I will strive to attach it to myself, to absorb it within me.

Each time, these external circles will enter me more and more, like rolling waves, until I cover the entire Malchut of infinity, meaning that I will perceive everyone as myself. This entire immense desire (Kli) will become mine, and within this unified desire the light, the Creator, will be revealed.

Everything depends on the intensity of the mutual work between a person and the environment, their influence on one another, and their mutual demand. By this, we determine the speed of our advancement. A person cannot advance by himself. The environment is the only means. Each time a person draws closer to it and rises with its help.

It is also necessary to fully realize the importance of the environment. After all, the entire structure of desire (Kli) originates from the division into an inner and an outer part, and all our discernments also take place between the inner and the outer, between a person and the environment.

So far we have not yet revealed this and cannot understand where exactly the correction of desires takes place. But when, with the help of the environment, we attract enough surrounding light and ascend to spirituality, we definitely feel that true spiritual work begins—between me and the environment.

Clarification and correction take place only there.

Question: As soon as the lesson ends, I come out and hear the pettiness, dirt, and inconsistency of my friends’ thoughts, and then I notice it in myself. I pray, and even more hatred is revealed to me. How can I cover it with love?

Answer: You must ask the Creator. A person alone cannot do it. But your request is very good.

Ask the Creator to allow you to cover how you relate to your friends with love.

Question: During the convention, I tried to unite the entire large Kli in the center of my ten. And then I realized that everyone is also concentrating this force in the tens. How can we unite this force all together and raise one common prayer to the Creator?

Answer: Unite with each other more and more, ask the Creator for that. Don’t let go of Him so that He remains at the center of your intentions and desires and so that you would feel that the Creator is present in your striving for unification and makes our unity whole and powerful.

As soon as you reach this state, you will immediately feel your unity and the Creator within it as one spiritual whole.

You need nothing more; everything else will be done by the Creator.

Question: How should we feel in one prayer before the prayer, during the prayer, and after it in order to bring the Creator contentment and become as one man with one heart?

Question: Does a person feel the Creator’s response within the Kli of the ten or within the global Kli?

Answer: Generally, within the ten.

Question: But you said that the gates of sensing the Creator open precisely in the common heart of the global Kli. How can we correctly feel this from within the ten?

Answer: For that, you must draw closer to the friends in all the groups, in all the tens, to feel what state they are in, to try to be together with them, and to sense the barrier that stands in their way toward connection among them and adhesion with the Creator.

All of this gradually becomes organized within you. It already exists and is being revealed more and more, but you must keep striving.
