Question: What is a way to check whether I am in intention?

Answer: The intention for what? To the state in which I want to be. How do I imagine it? What is the state that I want to reach afterward? I cannot imagine the end of correction or infinity, as if I am floating there and there is no difference between left and right.

How can I imagine all these states?! Moreover, everything there is qualitative, not quantitative; there are no distances, and so on and so forth. To imagine such things is to completely lose any kind of foothold.

I imagine a state that is desirable from my point of view, and from that I begin to act. That is all. Do not imagine all sorts of abstract pictures of who-knows-what.

Question: So what is the correct action?

Answer: The action is very simple. If I want to get closer to the spiritual, since for me it is the salvation of my whole life, then I must turn to the group so that it increases the importance of entering spirituality for me, and then I will have the strength for it.

For example, today we have a gathering of friends.: “Why are we doing this? How will we influence everyone with this? How will we awaken together and feel a common force? What do we gain in the end? After all, the next day I will fall from this. Is it desirable? Maybe that is exactly what is good since then new, strong Kelim will gather in me? Today I can speak to several thousand people around the world who see me. And not just several thousand, many more! They can change my life.”

You have something to think about during the day. The result depends on what you will think about, not on what you will do. This is what it means to live in the space of intentions. The action may remain the same, but the result is what you want from it.

When we live with the right intention, we feel eternity, life, and fulfillment within it! This does not complicate a person’s material existence; in fact, it is then that he truly feels what life is.

Question: What if I do not yet feel that it is good yet? What should I do?

Answer: As long as you do not feel that this is life, it seems to you like death.

What should you do? Ask the group! You have no choice. Naturally you will never want this on your own. That is what it means to rise from the animal level to the human one, or more precisely, not to the human level, but to the spiritual one! If you live with intention directed toward the upper force, then you discover it, feel it, and dwell in the sensation of eternal life.

This is already a dimension that gives you a completely new attitude toward everything. If your whole life is directed toward the Creator 24 hours a day, then that is it, you are already living in the same space with Him! It is an entirely different mode of existence.

Question: How can I ask the group to give me this kind of attitude?

Answer: Do not ask, demand it from the group! Bring them the awareness of this necessity.

Comment: But I do not have that awareness in me!

My Response: You do not have it in you, but you can influence the group. After all, are you not always pressuring someone? Don’t you want to impose your opinion on others? You do it all the time; that is egoism! Press on them and it will come back to you in the form of conviction.

Question: What does intention depend on? Is it the work of the individual, the group, or the Creator?

Answer: Intention depends on the awareness of the importance of the upper force, which the group must continuously awaken to be in connection with the upper force. This force is the general, all-encompassing law of the universe under which you exist, whether you want to be or not, and you perform what it obligates you to.

This law does not change because it is a general law that includes all others. Do the laws of nature change? No!

Therefore, if you do not know this law, you will not know how to live at all and will constantly find yourself in a bad state. The group must explain this fact to you and convince you of the necessity to know this law.

Question: So does everything depend on the group or on my bestowing to the group?

Answer: Yes, it depends on the group, on how it will influence you. But how you will respond, be inspired by it, and how it will affect you, depends on you, on how you position the group in relation to yourself.

Question: We had an amazing congress. In Kazakhstan, there were more than 300 friends, many of whom came from Petach Tikva, Russia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. At the congress, as you said, we had a great expansion.

And now you are saying that each small group that did all this together with the world Kli needs to work more in depth. What does “go deeper” mean? In spirituality the connection is preserved?

Answer: The connection is, of course, remains in your group. Maybe it is not so noticeable because you were united at the congress and there was a strong external pressure on you.

And now we need to merge with those groups, with that pressure that they want from the Creator and from everyone else. After all, every group wants to move forward. From today onward, we have entered the post-congress phase.

In short, we have to agree among us in the group on how to get closer to each other and also agree on this between the groups. Basically, what we want is for each group to be responsible for the others. That is enough for now, and then we will move forward.

Question: How can we make it so that everyone thinks about one goal?

Answer: We must search for it. There are no ready-made solutions for every moment of our life. This is our job.

We must search for what kind of connection and in what form I must have at every second so that I may draw the surrounding light upon myself, which will give me some inspiration in relation to spirituality, in relation to the realization of the law of mutual guarantee, love for the neighbor, and adhesion with the Creator.

If each person in the group annuls themselves, a collective Kli (vessel) is formed in which there can be no other desire except to bring contentment to the Creator.

Friends gather together, each one with their own ego. Each begins to fight with everyone else for the sake of their ego. But gradually, through the surrounding light, with the help of various means that they employ, they begin to discover that it is worthwhile to renounce their ego, to unite with everyone, and to accept what the group dictates.

And when everyone together begins to bow before some idea, not yet really knowing what it is, then through the accumulation of these renunciations of their ego, a single annulment of us in relation to the Creator begins to be revealed. With the correct connection for the sake of bestowal, in faith above reason, the group’s collective desire will be directed only toward the Creator.

But if the development is incorrect, then even when the friends unite and are able to yield to one another, it will resemble the sin of Sodom. They will be directed not toward the Creator, but toward themselves, supposedly for the sake of the good of society, a kind of an abstraction. And this will lead to destruction, as it happened in Russia and in the Kibbutzim. But we see that this is no longer happening.

If the development is correct, then when we unite in a group, it will be revealed that we are incapable of doing this; for it, we need the force of the Creator, His presence as a guarantor, as the one who binds us together.

Therefore, we can say that there is a certain confidence that we are progressing correctly.

How can I connect my momentary small action with the final point of the path while hoping that through every action I perform now, the force will come to me through which I will advance, find a connection with spirituality, with the upper force, and it will be revealed to me.

Question: Does it make sense to artificially remind yourself of this?

Answer: If you artificially remember this, it is wonderful! If you do not remember, then your group is not working properly.

Remembering in any way, even if you do not want to (which is even more beneficial), about the internal action that you have to perform, that every moment to connect your work to the ultimate goal of attaining adhesion with the Creator, of entering eternity, perfection—it is good.

Although, perhaps, at that very moment you realize that you do not want it, that you are fed up with everything, it does not matter, this is still called connection. But if you are disconnected from the goal, then it means that your group is not working well enough to awaken such thoughts in you every second.

Question: If a person tries to carry out spiritual work in thought and action, but the heart remains deaf, a feeling arises that some kind of heaviness is constantly happening there.

How can I unite with the others from within this heaviness in the heart? What should I do to make use of this opportunity?

Answer: You must find the point of connection with the common group, with the common Kli. And from there you will begin to feel yourself in the center of that group. There you will receive answers.

Question: Am I searching for this common point through prayer?

Answer: Yes, the prayer is there as well.

Question: How can we express our gratitude daily to both the teacher and the friends in a way that strengthens the unity between us?

Answer: You should show an example of drawing closer to the group that attended the morning lesson as the leading group. In this way you will always control the advancement.

Question: What is the best way for us to picture the next spiritual degree we must rise to?

Answer: The next spiritual degree is built on the fact that today you annul yourself more than you did yesterday.

That is how you allow the upper light, the Creator, to move you forward.

Question: How can I pray correctly for the collective and ask the Creator for them if my heart only wants to pray for myself?

Answer: Try to think in a way that you genuinely want to ask for the collective, for the group, for those close to you, and for your friends. It all depends on how much you think about this.

Question: When I see a discrepancy in every point and ask for correction, but I ask for myself, how can I make that prayer for the collective?

Answer: Add the words that you are praying for everyone to it.
