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.

Question: How can we connect with other tens if each ten is a whole world in itself?

Answer: That is not your concern. Everything is done by the Creator: He lowers and raises the tens in relation to one another.

He has far more data about each group and combines them according to a specific path. Therefore, don’t pay attention to how or where we are.

Ask, you are obligated to ask.

Question: How should I correctly annul myself before a friend in the ten?

Answer: It is certainly not easy, but essentially, it is the state we must reach.

Question: So should I accept the friend’s opinion instead of my own?

Answer: No, you should accept the friend’s opinion as the state you yourself want to reach.

Question: Is that called annulment?

Answer: You will see.

Question: How can Israel take upon itself the duty of mutual responsibility today?

Answer: Israel is obligated to be both an example and a source in relation to the entire world.

It must become a model of mutual responsibility, love, and striving for unity with the Creator. At the same time, it must be the source of the force that spreads the power to implement this throughout the world so that the entire world enters into mutual responsibility, love for others, and as a result, unity with the Creator.

What is important for us? Should we focus only on those who are currently called “Israel”? Or should we also engage with those who are within the nations of the world, or with the nations of the world within Israel, people we do not even know who they are? How can this be verified? By passport? That is a big question.

To belong to the nation of Israel has not always historically been determined by the mother and among the nations of the world by the father. This started relatively recently. So nationality is a very shaky concept. By what criteria can we decide who is Israel and who are the nations of the world? How should we relate to one or the other? And can we even relate to them based on the data available to us? Does this really correspond to the root of the soul?

Anyone who has studied history even a little sees how unstable all of this is and how lacking in a solid foundation.

In the Middle Ages, there were Kabbalists who taught Kabbalah to representatives of other nations, and just think what times those were! In accordance with spiritual laws, they determined who was called Israel and who were the nations of the world. After the spiritual shattering, such distinctions seemingly disappeared. Whoever has a spark of Israel awakened within, you can teach him, and he is capable of beginning the correction. That is one side of the matter.

On the other hand, we still must work with that part of the nation of Israel  that is connected to the external part of the Torah, with the practical observance of commandments without intention, and somehow we must convince them to engage in intention.

Baal HaSulam writes about this at the end of the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar.” He says that this is precisely the essence of correction. We are obligated to work with everyone who desires it, in all countries and among all nations without exception, even if we have no idea who they are or what they represent, that is, with anyone who has been awakened.

On the other hand, ultimately we will be forced to focus on the religious society, and within it to cause a shift in the perception of importance from the external to the internal. Baal HaSulam states in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” that this is what will change the entire reality.

If, within the people of Israel, the very group that adheres to the external part of the Torah shifts its attention to the internal part, this will change the whole world. For then the inner part is corrected, and all other parts begin to align accordingly.

Thus, the work must proceed in two directions.

Question: Yesterday was a very intense day of the convention, and we reached a state of ascent. I felt there was no place left to add effort; it was so elevated.

I started looking for that place and discovered many clusters of dark matter of the will to receive, of hatred within me. I tried to touch it and saw that a great light comes to it, and I can use it as fuel.

But when I touched it, it turned me into a wicked one. How can I work with this dark Malchut so as not to fall into it, but rise by means of it? It feels like walking on the edge of a blade.

Answer: You must constantly think about how you want to draw it to yourself, to grab hold of it, and to rise together with it. Act on it.

Question: Is adhesion with the Creator when you feel His will as your own desire?

Answer: Yes.

Question: By what means can one feel that even a momentary detachment from the concern for mutual guarantee (Arvut) is a descent?

Answer: Only the group can give us such a feeling, an awareness, a sense of importanc, that without Arvut I would feel myself in a terrible state.

Baal HaSulam writes that everything depends on the revelation of evil. If I have a microscope, I see that microbes are a terrifying thing. But if I do not have one, it does not bother me; I drink the water calmly.

But if I look through the microscope and see what is going on in there, I will see terrible creatures! How they devour each other! And they will devour me too! And then I draw back. So it all depends on the revelation of evil.

I cannot see this on my own, but if a thousand people around me speak about it, it becomes not just a thousand times, but a million times more tangible for me.

But a person must be ready to listen to the group. And the group must be wise enough to build the process of convincing a person in such a way that it truly enters him. We need to understand that each one of us is closed off. A person is not able to perceive this. It is really necessary to break through his shell and get inside. That is the work of the group.

A person chooses a group based on what he feels in his soul; these people belong to the same idea to which he wants to advance. No one can tell him: “Choose this or that.”

He himself, as a result of his suffering, based on his life experience, even if he is young and lacks experience, feels that he wants such development. This is the guiding hand of the Creator in him.

It is the Creator who finds the group for him and brings him into it. What is incumbent upon the person is only to try to devote himself to the group in such a way that it will “brainwash” him and impart to him all its opinions, thoughts, and desires for progressing in the right direction.

If a person is ready to receive only this from the group, here lies his free choice; it is to place himself in relation to the group so that it gives him advancement and not to scatter himself among various other things. After all, everything he does is only in order to receive direction from the group, the very direction for which he initially came to it.

Then a person advances, and his advancement goes above reason because initially he does not want it. But with the help of the group, he finds the strength to move forward. If he were alone, he would not have the strength to rise above his own reason. Whatever reason he would choose, it would be his reason; it would not be above his reason.

Question: At this convention it feels like there are no questions, rather just a strong, continuous desire to pray so that this prayer reaches the Creator.

Tell us, what should the prayer at this convention be? What should we pray for?

Answer: That is something you need to tell me.

Question: You say that we need to refine the request, to structure it. There is a prayer: “Unite us, raise us to You, help us all come together to the king’s palace!” But somehow it dissipates.

Answer: Then raise the prayer from one person, from yourself.

Question: How do I do it correctly?

Answer: From the heart.

Question: Do I need to feel everyone and unite them in my heart?

Answer: Start and then you will see.

When we act within the group, we see that we live a kind of life where everyone is ready to give their time, attention, and effort to the group. All this is true, but why does it not actually happen with us? Because we do not ask for it to happen inside our Kelim (vessels).

We are not the masters of our Kelim. Their only master is the light. It draws near or distances itself and the Kli rises or falls accordingly. What we currently lack is the understanding that through all our actions, we will not achieve anything except for the realization that we are incapable of achieving anything on our own.

What is the desired outcome of our action? It is to come to a cry: “Save me! Help me!” That is, the Kli understands that it will not free itself from prison, but only the Creator, as it is written, will lead it out of Egypt.

We must desire to break away from Pharaoh and ask the upper force for this. If you are not asking for it, it means that your goal is not truly adhesion with the Creator and that you need mutual guarantee and the giving of the Torah for some other purpose.
