Question: What if I don’t succeed in dissemination?

Answer: This is a good indicator of exile showing you that you have not yet attained your correct realization. We advance only through awareness of our mistakes.

But there cannot be something like this, that the least talented person in the world could not convince the entire world with the method of connection and unity. This is because we are in an integral system. So even the simplest person, who apparently has no chance of anyone hearing him, has such chances that he must realize.

Through awareness of the integral system, everyone must reach a state where through his personal part of the collective soul Light will begin to transmitted to the entire great system. So he will need to be connected and integrated with his heart and mind to the entire system to be able convince everyone that the correction of the collective Kli is possible only in this way, as he understands and feels this.

It is written in Jeremiah 31:33 “…for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them!” We don’t understand the absoluteness of this requirement. Therefore, it cannot be that a person is not ready to convince others of the correctness of our path.

If you don’t succeed in convincing others, this is a sign that you have not yet convinced yourself, meaning you have not yet precisely clarified these concepts within yourself and you have doubts. In the meantime, you are not prepared to convey the feeling of connection in your own way so that people will absorb this from you.

Even the knowledge of the is also Light. There is nothing besides Light and desire. But in the meantime, you cannot organize yourself within so that you can connect with people and let them feel this illumination. Dissemination, as it is called, is when you absorb people into yourself. That is how you organize and arrange your Kli. so that it is impossible that you don’t reach people with your explanations about the crisis, about the present state of the world, about the group, about the goal.

For you have been connected into one system from the start. And if you approach your right place within this system, you will be sure to have an influence on others. It is impossible to according to the principles of the work within the system in any other way.

You must improve their situation, attract them, and incorporate them within you. They need to want to be integrated with you, because they will feel that they are receiving and will continue to receive fulfillment through you.

It is simply necessary to work more. This is difficult and incessant work, like raising your child, you invest in him for 20 to 30 years and don’t stop having problems. But there is nothing else to do. That is how life is and this is how the process of correction works.

 Question: The word education is usually associated with educating children and with school, while we speak about educating a person of any age.

Answer: Education is relevant throughout a person’s life.

Education is our main mission, and its goal is that a person will be able to learn and educate himself anew through the Upper Light. Then he will gradually be able to sacrifice all of his ego, which is called offering sacrifice.

First a person has to learn this by himself and then by his example, teach someone else how to connect to the Light of correction. After all, we can never correct one another, only the Upper Light can do so. All of the group’s power is in setting an example for each of its members.

Song of Songs 3: By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but I found him not.

“I will rise now, and go about the city, in the streets and in the broad ways, I will seek him whom my soul loveth.” I sought him, but I found him not.

The watchmen that go about the city found me: “Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?” Scarce had I passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

We search in the darkness and encounter the watchmen and thanks to him, the darkness, and our exertion, we can find!

We have repeatedly been in the state where we cannot do anything by ourselves. We reach a descent, a fall, despair and neglect, a feeling of helplessness and weakness bursts from inside, which we can do nothing about.

It is actually in these states that a person is examined as to what extent he has prepared himself with guards and policemen, if he has a mutual guarantee with others, and whether he has managed to prepare support and safeguarding. Safeguarding is necessary so that he will not escape, and the support helps him gather more internally towards the center of the group.

We need external forces for that, since a person himself is empty. He needs to have both guards and policemen, which are two opposite forces. A person must have both.

If a person learns something from this state, the next time he will worry about the mutual support of the friends, the building of a “safety belt.” Thus he prepares himself to attain the next level, turns the darkness into Light, and advances.

In our world, we say that someone who doesn’t learn from his mistakes is a fool. It is the same when it comes to spiritual advancement. At first a person is allowed to learn and it doesn’t matter if he makes mistakes.

But if he sees that he is thrown down a second time and cannot rise by external support, because he certainly has no powers of his own, then it is considered a transgression and disrespectful of the means given to him.

We need to build a system that constantly reminds us that “there is none else besides Him.” This system must include at least ten people that have special relationship between them.

And so in this network of connection, in this mutual force field, the Upper Light begins to shine, and the upper power is found, which constantly reminds us that each and every moment comes from the foundation, from a higher power.

But if there is no network of connection like this between us, then we cannot remember. Situations will change, but we cannot connect them with the higher power, for this system isn’t working between us.

Only when a binding force field appears between us, like electricity or magnetism, then through our efforts to connect together, we feel that within it is a power that stabilizes this condition.

We go back to this work all the time. The system always reminds us that there is none else besides Him, stabilizing this condition for us, specifically when we are in concealment so that we will demand His revelation, give Him contentment with this and equivalence of form, like the guest and the host.

Question: Is this talking about states in the spiritual world?

Answer: We are in the spiritual world, but in concealment! We need to dispel this concealment from our state, to turn on the Light as if we were found together in a dark room without our knowing it. I enter the room, but I don’t see or feel that there is anyone there because of the darkness. I need to turn on the Light, and then I will see and understand that I am found together with everyone. We don’t fly to the spiritual world. We are already found within it, but it is concealed.

Question: But a person forgets that he is in concealment!

Answer: He doesn’t forget, but it is the Creator who intentionally obliges him to forget, and makes him confused! He not only forgets, but doesn’t want to be involved with spirituality at all because he is completely involved in other business. All this is arranged for him intentionally so precisely in spite of all this, he will come back to awareness.

Question: But if a friend does not remind me, I will never remember this!

Answer: Right, so we need Arvut (mutual guarantee). Without Arvut there is no need to give us the Torah, the method. Only if we are ready to create a system of Arvut in which a sufficient number of friends participate, a complete number of 600,000 souls, who can be mutually connected with each other and understand that the goal is to become like one man with one heart, and if they agree to go towards this, then it is worthwhile to give us the method of connection.

Essentially this is not a method of connection, but a method of discovery. It is a method through which we turn on the Light and dispel the concealment.

We don’t have to imagine that spirituality is somewhere far away. It is said that we rise gradually through the first, second, third levels, etc. But these are potential levels, stages of our feelings and understanding.

The spiritual world is really here, but I see it according to the glasses I wear, according to my sensitivity. Suppose that I come to a lesson half asleep, but I begin to wake up. I can already hear a little of what they are talking about, so I open my eyes, and after this begin to wake up and become even more and more lively in all of my senses.

These are the spiritual levels: We awaken, become more sensitive, use all the tools more, and involve more perception of desires (Kelim). But in the Kelim (desires) nothing changes, so we need to appreciate the state we are in now. We need to sharpen our senses only slightly, and then we will feel the spiritual world.

We are in concealment and must dispel it. That is all! The problem is only in that it is against our ego, because it compels us to connect with others and work against our personal instinctive desires. If we grasp this principle, then it will become clear that this is very simple, concise, and specific.

Rabash, “Three Prayers”: When Moses came to speak “In Your name” which means that they should work for the sake of the Creator “evil comes to these people,” which means that they become more wicked. This means that before Moses came to speak that they should only work for the sake of Heaven, they all engaged in God’s work and thought that they were righteous.

They had the strength and energy to work because what they work for was clear to them. But after Moses came with the message that they had to work in order to bestow, they became wicked. So for them it would be better not to engage in work “Lo Lishma.” 

We see that many people who come to study feel the strength, the desire, and the egoistic motivation. This continues until they are impressed by the real work and understand that it should be totally above the ego and against it.

Then their powers disappear. Until then they were fierce, determined, and full of energy, and suddenly everything disappears and they lose the power to do anything. With what energy can they work, with what fuel?

Then they all fall, and only those who can advance by drawing powers from bestowal and are ready for actions of in order to bestow can switch to a different fuel, to energy of bestowal.

Question: What is the alternative fuel of bestowal?

Answer: The fuel of bestowal is respect for the Creator, the greatness of the Upper. Therefore we have to feel the greatness of the group, then the greatness of the teacher and all the Kabbalists of the past, and then the greatness of the Creator.

We have to constantly work on this greatness and on its appreciation and by that we will receive the power to advance.

Question: How can a person regret the fact that he doesn’t have the power of faith when he is overcome by evil thoughts and desires?

Answer: This is why we need the Light that comes from the environment called mutual guarantee. Mutual guarantee is the power of faith that is revealed in the group.

Although the group itself has not attained the power of faith yet, it is inclined to it. This is enough to impress each friend and to illuminate the force of bestowal on him that is received from the Surrounding Light that is drawn by our collective efforts.

This is called mutual guarantee. Everything comes down to the cooperation between two forces; there is nothing other than these two forces.

We are not fighting against the actual concealment; we only draw the Light of faith upon it. There is nothing more we can do in order to fight it. The concealment will keep on growing like in Egypt where the darkness kept on growing until it became total darkness.

There is no greater darkness than the moment right before the redemption, the exit from the 49 gates of impurity. Therefore we have to relate to the power of concealment correctly and respect Pharaoh, as we understand that all the hardening of the heart and the confusion that we feel were given to us in order to advance.

We don’t want to contradict Pharaoh, the concealment and the confusion, but only to ascend above them. This means that we work with the vessels of Egypt bringing the Light of faith into them.

Questions about the One for All and All for One Convention in Paris:

Question: Can a person change his fate by coming to the May convention in Paris?

Answer: A person who is far away and doesn’t participate in the daily lessons lags behind the main group and doesn’t understand exactly what has been said. He has missed large amounts of the material and lacks sensations, perceptions, and connection with us. But if a person comes to the convention, he can correct all of these deficiencies from the past when he was not together with us, and can receive great support for the future.

Rabash, Article “What is, ‘If They Swallow the Bitter Herbs it Doesn’t Work Out’ in the Work?”: And this is like what we say (in the Passover Haggadah), These bitter herbs (Maror) that we eat, what is that for, it is because the Egyptians embittered, (Exodus 1:14), “And they embittered their lives with hard labor.”

The hard service was that the people of Israel wanted to leave the dominance of the Egyptians, that is, self-love. But when they overcame this to do something for the sake of bestowal, immediately the thoughts of the Egyptians came to them; they asked the question of the wicked son, (Exodus 12:26) What is this service to you? to work for the benefit of the Creator, and every time they overcame this, immediately the questions of the Egyptians came, and this is what is called hard labor.

All of this is in order to turn a person towards connection. Our essential problem is that each one of us tries to solve his problem alone and so we don’t succeed. And the simple and easy solution is to solve the problems together.

We need to understand that all of the work is in connection, and all the difficulties are given against it. If we see things by way of the group, no difficulty remains, everything goes along nicely.

The solution is precisely through not seeing the difficulty directly but understanding that it is directing us towards connection. If we yearn for connection, then the problem is removed and disappears immediately. Every time difficulties appear, it is because the connection between us is incorrect.

Question: Why does it say that we mustn’t swallow the bitter herbs (Maror) without chewing?

Answer: We process and take into account the attributes, the thoughts, and the actions that show us the incorrect form without disrespecting it and at the same time we build our Partzuf with them. The form by which we discover the Creator is made from both Light and darkness.

Our vessels of perception cannot perceive things differently since we are created beings that are made of the desire to receive, of the darkness. Therefore we need both the darkness and the Light. By chewing and swallowing the bitter herbs (Maror) we establish this contrast that allows us to perceive all the discernments of the Light.

There are no forms in the Light itself, so it is impossible to feel anything without the discernments that we collect. A new sensation comes and suddenly we begin to understand and to feel more and more and to see through the reality that becomes transparent. It is because up until now we found it hard and practically impossible to connect, to understand, to feel, and were confused. This is the only way the revelation happens: We perceive the contrast between the black and the white.

But we begin to perceive the black Light just like the white Light as we understand that without it we cannot exist. The desire to receive becomes as important as the Light.
