Question: I enter into the desires of the people with whom I try to unite, and I feel that I envy their Kelim. How should I work in this situation: Should I simply connect everything to the Creator? Is that the correction or is there some other way to work with envy?

Answer: The work is only in relation to your circle, your friends with whom you are going through this entire path. If you annul yourself more and more in relation to them, then you advance forward and receive more from the Creator.

Question: You said that all spiritual models should be imagined within oneself. Suppose I come to a seminar and imagine that I am bestowing, answering questions. But as a result, I experience bliss, pleasure, and enjoyment. In that case am I working to give for the sake of receiving, or am I working to bestow and simply receiving a reward?

Answer: It depends on you. You must examine yourself and act so that your response to what the Creator does to you is correct, that is, so that it advances you toward sensing the true forces, their intention, and their goal, and so that you can influence them.

Question: How can we make the words of a prayer awaken a prayer from the heart, preferably from the common heart?

Answer: That is indeed a real question. It would seem that each of us has some kind of Hisaron (deficiency). But what is missing so that our individual sensations of exile in that disconnection from the Creator could merge into one common desire? This is not simple at all.

What are desires the group cannot fulfill? These are desires that unite with the desires of other groups, and together they reveal a more complete, more perfect request, one to which the Creator will surely respond.

Beyond that, I can’t really explain in words, because this is something you feel only in the heart. The problem is that when we speak, the words themselves tend to erase the feeling that lies beneath them. The foundation disappears, and the words become dead.

You might have prepared them in advance, maybe even thought deeply about them, but the moment you say them, you suddenly feel there is nothing there. They are empty, completely empty. And there is nothing in them that could truly shake the Creator.

Question: The Creator is burdening my heart. I am in a very low state, and at the same time a glimmer remains where I feel that my friend also has a heaviness of the heart. For whose heart should my prayer be directed first?

Answer: This is not a simple question. But if we reduce it to an ordinary question, then a person who is under the rule of egoism decides for himself what he should start fighting with and what exactly he must humble.

Therefore, in general, the question always comes down who do  I obey in this state.

Comment: In order to implement the method of Kabbalah, three components are necessary: a group of like-minded individuals, original sources, and an instructor. Work in a group of like-minded individuals is the work of coming closer to one another to reveal the goal that Kabbalah speaks of: the revelation of the Creator.

My Response: Our world is intended for us to carry out the work called the restoration of the soul. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, the Creator created a system of a single common soul called “Adam.” This system, in its original state, consisted of egoistic desires that were connected together and worked toward one goal: to support one another.

Then a shattering occurred, and the entire structure broke apart into a vast number of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human elements, which are now in a state of relative connection with one another. Relative because their relations to one another imply only mutual complementation, that is, using each other, and on the other hand, a desire to constantly develop at the expense of others, to absorb one another. This is the egoistic principle of existence of the entire system.

Now we must return it to its original state, in which all its parts will relate to each other, not egotistically from a purely consumerist standpoint for themselves, but with the understanding that it is necessary to work for the entire system as a whole, for the sake of all. Therefore, every mature, sound element of the system must attain the state of “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Only under this condition will all the elements unite above their initial egoism and form a single, unified, integral system that will be able to exist properly and be filled with a special force called the Creator.

This work we must carry out here in this world, now in our generation. We are those who understand the significance of this work, the conditions that nature or the Creator provides us with, the importance of our mission, and who feel such a drive and responsibility for it.

That is why we gather in a group to unite in mutual help, mutual efforts, and to connect all our ties together in similarity to the global force of the Creator. The Creator represents the force of bestowal, connection, love, and mutual complementation. And we must generate this force between us in such a way as to become similar to Him in our relationships.

We cannot do this by ourselves because we are initially opposite to one another. Each of us is an egoist and cannot think of others. But we can ask Him to change us. And then, in the group, we will be able to realize this idea.

Question: How can we continue to support our friend if we do not know whether she listens to the lessons? What should be the frequency so that we understand that this is the circle in which we are going along the path?

Answer: There can be no set frequency. Once a week, once a month, I do not understand this!

If you are able to, you must definitely be present at the lesson. I think that first of all, you need to think about making the group in which you are constantly present into your permanent ten.

This means that you hold on to each other, try to always be in ascent, in the form of all the ten members, and follow exactly what we are studying.

Question: How can you follow the advice to “be in joy” when you feel “the taste of garbage” in spiritual work?

Answer: This is a stage where you still do not understand the importance of the garbage. But can anything grow without waste, without fertilizer? There is nothing superfluous in the world, so it all depends on your attitude.

We must go through all the states and inevitably feel each one of them. These are such states where death seems sweeter than life, but you will not be able to avoid them, because you must understand what “the will to receive” is.

I am speaking directly and without exaggeration: if you do not feel this, you will not be able to come out from under the control of the will to enjoy, although even that does not help very much. This is the revelation of the “angel of death.” Without the support of the group, without a strict daily schedule, without the commitments you take upon yourself, it is impossible to cope with it.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to take on commitments. You must complete the work today; let it press on you like a yoke on an ox. There is nothing worse than feeling free. Even though you see nothing, feel nothing, understand nothing, and remember nothing, you begin to work because you must, and gradually you come out of the state of descent and continue on the path.

We are governed by two forces, and we are given only the opportunity to move from the rule of one to the influence of the other. There is the rule of two forces and an intermediate state in which you choose under which influence to be. You must try, from this intermediate state, the middle line, to control these two forces, as if they were two reins in your hands.

Therefore, keep your daily schedule: the lesson, reviewing the lesson, sing, dance in your room when no one sees you, laugh; do everything to come out of a bad state. You don’t agree; you resist the governance of this force! Despair is the worst thing of all.

Question: Lately, there has been a feeling that we should already be approaching the quality of bestowal since everyone in the ten has this desire. On the other hand, it is noticeable that most of the friends have calmed down and are paying more attention to corporeal needs. It turns out that the quality of bestowal seems to be there, but there is nowhere to apply it. What should we do?

Answer: You must integrate into your ten in such a way that there are no distances between you, so that what one has, flows to another, to a third one, and so on. Then your ten will be unified, and you will be able to feel the spiritual structure. This is what you need to achieve.

You must dissolve in the ten and together with it—together with it—move forward. If all of you feel yourselves as one, then you will succeed.

Question: We say that everything depends on the connection between us. But what is this connection?

Answer: We begin our spiritual development from a point that is outside of spirituality. And the whole time we remain on this point outside spirituality called this world in which we now exist.

Why? So that we would be independent from the spiritual world. The spiritual world is like a huge sphere, and we are now outside of it, off to the side. And then I can enter it, or I can choose not to. I am as if independent.

When the point in the heart is awakened within me, I begin to strive toward this sphere even though I do not yet picture myself as a tiny dot next to a huge, awe-inspiring sphere into which I wish to enter. But I am drawn to it.

With this desire, this yearning for spirituality, I come to a group. What is this group? Men sitting together, studying, talking, being inspired, discussing, singing, eating. Some sort of club—rather strange, but there are many such places in the world.

I look at this group as just an ordinary gathering of people in this world. Then they tell me: “You must connect with us, join the group, take part in all the activities, the duties, take on certain responsibilities, because we have a common work.” I am ready; what else can I do… After all, I see some benefit in it.

So, I connect with these guys because I understand that together we will apparently achieve something. Besides, I do not see any other place where I could do this, so I comply.

Gradually, over the years, I discover that in this place where I am, there truly is an inner connection. I come to discover this after several years. And those years were not in vain. They were years of my inner work, when I did not feel it, but the upper light was acting and performing many actions within me at great speed. Then I begin to hear. What does it mean “to hear”? I suddenly begin to pay attention, to give value to the inner connection between us, the unity in feelings, in hearts.

It is just that the time has come, and I begin to be moved by these words, to give them importance. This is the result of the light that had been working on me all those years, penetrating ever deeper into my heart, and the heart began to respond to these words: “connection,” “mutual guarantee,” “love,” “bestowal,” “as one man with one heart.” I begin to feel some inner responses to these words. For each word, there is a certain reaction within me; I sense the inner essence of the word.

More months go by, and more, and more. For this is how we correct our foundations, the Malchut of infinity within us, until I truly begin to draw closer to my friends. I now see them as companions on my spiritual path, and I understand that this path runs inward, into us, into our inner center, into our inner connection. And there, if we unite, we attain everything.

And if before I imagined the spiritual world as a huge sphere outside of me, perhaps somewhere far beyond the boundaries of the Universe, now I increasingly associate spirituality with my inner feeling, which is revealed in the unity between us.

This place does not exist now, but if we begin to connect with one another, we will create a new reality, which will be called “the place.” From these shared desires we will reach the place in which the Creator will be revealed.

Question: We go through difficult states where the ego convinces us that there is no unity, that all the friends are egoists, and only faith in the teacher and love for the friends help us get out of this.

Where can I get the strength here so that I have a desire to bestow as well?

Answer: It is faith in the Creator and not in the teacher or in the friends.

For now, we are still a rather weak force. But faith in the Creator, meaning the desire to feel Him, to be on the same wavelength with Him, will help you rise above your current desire.
