Question: On one hand, you say we need to take action: “Since you created me with certain qualities, give me the strength to pray.” But I am afraid I might do something wrong and harm myself. Guide me properly so that I do not close off in prayer and so I can convey its essence to the ten.

Answer: Get together with your friends and begin to briefly describe your state so as not to lose the path you are charting.

Once you manage to do this, select excerpts from prayers which are the most appropriate for your state, with all the additions. Incorporate your requests into this prayer. You will see how everything turns out well.

Question: Does the strength of a prayer depend on the root of the soul?

Answer: The strength of a prayer depends only on a person’s inner root. In general, when something is truly revealed in Kabbalah, it is revealed much more simply and more comprehensively. The main thing is not to give up, to study, write questions, and refer to the source.

Question: We were greatly impressed by the unity at the convention. Now we are back home. There are burning impressions inside, but something has changed. How can we renew the strength of the ten under the new conditions after the convention so that we can truly achieve a real ascent to the Creator?

Answer: I would advise you to correspond more frequently between the tens and constantly strive to rise.

We have already formed an impressive spiritual community. It is mostly you. There are 20 to 30 more people who did not attend for various reasons. So draw closer to us, join in, and we will help each other. I do not see any significant problems in our advancement.

Question: How should we regard the past convention, as a foundation for the future work of the ten or as returning to some pleasant moments? I am afraid that one might get stuck in this.

Answer: Of course, one can get stuck, that is obvious.

The most important thing is the constant and increasingly precise determination of the ultimate goal. That comes first.

Secondly, we must always determine to what extent the ten I am in is pushing through the distance between me and the Creator. At the very least, this.

The praise and the gratitude one gives for it expand the feelings, and one is elated by every single point in the holy work, he knows Whose servant he is, and thus soars ever higher (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 26, “One’s Future Depends and Is Tied to Gratitude for the Past”).

Question: What should our gratitude to the Creator be like in order to reveal Him?

Answer: We must reach a state where we feel, believe, and realize that everything before us belongs to the Creator and comes to us directly from Him. In this case, we gradually begin to feel ourselves within Him.

It is precisely in this work, in these actions, in these efforts, that we must reveal our constant, absolute connection with Him. That is what a person must attain, and we hope to achieve this as a result of our efforts.

In spirituality, that is, in the wisdom of Kabbalah, everything is determined by intention.

We must always be directed toward the Creator. If we have the opportunity to absorb all the impressions of the common Kli, we take them in. Then, the influence of the Creator’s revelation on us strengthens to the extent that we can unite our friends within ourselves, and as much as we strive to be one whole and, within this wholeness attain the Creator.

Question: What should be the prayer in order to become included in the righteous ones?

Answer: Ask the Creator to keep the friends together and all of you to be concerned about a single state. Then you will have a common serious memory that will not disappear.

Question: Can we demand that the Creator raise our friends to the level of our forefathers and that they would feel what Rabash, Baal HaSulam, or you felt?

Answer: It is unrealistic, but you can ask for it. If you keep asking about something constantly, not about the same thing but still more or less, then you will find a necessity to enter this state once again and sense it. I recommend it.

At the convention, it is best to try to annul yourself and completely dissolve into your friends. This is the very first condition by which I want to include myself in everyone and become an absolute zero in relation to them.

The second condition is to find such a layer of desire that can be used to be slightly ahead of everyone and pull them along.

That is, I must have a degree that in some way is different from zero, something that can pull everyone forward and so on more and more. Ascent is possible only by adding desire. But at the same time it must be reduced to zero, meaning it should not be used for myself.

There is a feeling that a wall stands before us that prevents us from opening our hearts and from asking for the light of correction. We must break this wall with our persistence.

Let us think about how to reach the state of Pesach at this convention, that is, to make a single leap from the desire to receive to the desire to bestow. Let us work on this together!

World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 2

Question: What is the role of reason in spiritual work if the main thing is to go above knowledge? How can we verify that we are truly going above reason and not just suppressing our doubts?

Answer: We learn to perceive the world around us, not in the attribute of reception, but in the quality of bestowal. In this case, we will sense the Creator in our perception of reality.

In order to properly experience everything that exists, we must first absorb the perception of reality of the creatures, then the perception of reality of the Creator, and then build our sense of reality on their basis. We consider this to be the goal of our forum.

We need to find contact with the Creator in which He constantly changes His attitude toward us, and we must change our attitude toward Him accordingly.

As a result, we will begin to feel His actions and His intentions, and we will act accordingly until we see that only the Creator rules over all our feelings.

Question: What should I ask for to pass through the “wall of fire” that the Creator has surrounded Himself with?

Answer: Ask that your soul not be harmed by the fire, and then you will gradually be able to get used to it and will begin to understand what you need in order to survive in its vicinity.

Comment: I still get thrown out and I return to thinking about myself instead of being in my friends, in the Creator.

My Response: All the same, nothing will help you until you begin to feel the force within you that will push you toward the Creator, toward turning to Him. In that case, you will begin to discern what exists between you that you can use to draw closer to the Creator. This is already serious work.

Question: How to demand the force that will push me toward the Creator?

Answer: You have to create this force yourself. You cannot receive it just like that from the Creator, but if you desire the Creator and want to reveal Him, get to know His qualities and actions, then in this case, you will be able to plead Him to teach you.

These are not such difficult actions; the main thing is to be consistent in them. That is, see, reveal, and understand how the Creator interacts with you and how you wish for Him to understand how you respond to Him.

I am addressing these words to everyone.

Question: Right now the congress is such a high bar for me that it is impossible to reach in individual work. But judging by the primary sources, it is possible. How can it be done?

Answer: It is impossible to do it alone. It is only possible if the majority of the people sitting here agree with you, and you will want together to achieve some spiritual result.

Question: Is this some kind of a new arrangement between us?

Answer: No, it is an old arrangement; you just have to put it into action.

Question: So essentially we continue to work in tens the same way as we did before but on a different level?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It is written that the ideal prayer comes from the bottom of one’s heart. You say that when we constantly ask for something, it becomes a necessity. Suppose today my heart asks for mutual guarantee (Arvut) in the ten and tomorrow or maybe in a week for something else. How can this be combined?

Answer: What is in a person’s heart and that he can raise this prayer to the Creator is the main thing. One should try to feel the Creator as the embryo of the state from which it developed.

Question: What does it mean to feel the Creator as an embryo?

Answer: This is felt in relation to me. His influence on me is very small; therefore, unfortunately, I cannot make bigger efforts so that He fills me completely.
