Question: What is the courage of the heart?

Answer: The courage of the heart is when a person feels that they can rise up now and become as if a representative of all the people gathered at the convention.

Question: How can we build and maintain such a connection so that we can instantly react and even anticipate the attacks of the evil inclination?

Answer: We must truly imagine how we can be in a state where everyone is connected to one another.

Question: How does the group rise to the Creator?

Answer: The group rises to the Creator to the extent that it becomes connected.

Question: What is this desire that opens our hearts and even persuades the Creator to unite us?

Answer: Ask the Creator, not me.

Question: What is spiritual war?

Answer: Spiritual war is when I fight with my Kelim (egoistic desires).

Question: We learn that the evil inclination is the separation between us and the Creator is the connection between us. Can we try to interact with each other not through the membrane of our egoism but through the Creator now so that He would be like a conduit between us?

Answer: That is correct. This is how we should act. But how? I cannot tell you that. But you have already guessed half of it; so keep trying.

World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 3

Question: When I realize I have no strength, I ask for it from the upper force and receive it; then egoism appropriates it for itself. How can I avoid this?

Answer: The main thing is understanding that the Creator is not in us but between us. And if I am directed at Him, I can strive for the desire of the vast mass of souls He is in.

Therefore, what happens makes no difference to me. The main thing is that I want to be connected to the Creator. I do not want to lose this connection for a single moment in any state. Then everything will work out.

Question: We learn that we must justify all friends so that each one is at least neutral or positive in my eyes because we know that criticism destroys.

Speaking of envy, should I choose someone specific to envy and at least justify the rest? The more you reveal your friend, the more you can see flaws rather than what to envy.

Answer: We must reach a state where we are face-to-face with our friends. Based on this, we will want only one thing—to live in an embrace with them. We need to feel how to do it.

Question: It is impossible not to feel the field of love with which the Creator has covered us. But such contradictions arise here that you begin to enjoy bestowing to your friends. How can we work further?

Answer: In the field in which you feel united, you need to awaken the force of unity so that this force affects you and brings you closer to each other. And so you will move toward the true convention.

Question: How do we awaken this force? We already feel as if the Creator has wrapped us in a blanket of love. What now? We just want to enjoy it, but that is not our path.

Answer: Yes, that will not lead to anything.

There is only one thing to do: pray for your friends so that they, just like you, feel the need to come closer, to connect with one another, and ultimately for all of us to feel like one whole.

If you strive for this and think about this, everything will surely come together.

Question: We say that I should envy my friends. But should I care about making my friends envy me, about impressing them? Or at least should I make it easier for them to envy me?

Answer: As follows from the articles of Rabash, we must do everything possible to discover in ourselves the qualities that we want to see in our friends.

Everything I understand from reading these articles I want to see in each of them. Then I will be certain that together with them, I am moving toward the goal.

Question: And if I do not see it?

Answer: If you do not see it, then you need to go deeper and deeper, or simply ask each person in the ten what special qualities they have noticed in a particular friend.

Additionally, you can ask the entire world Kli: “On what basis did we make this decision?” or “Why do we need this kind of work?” You should listen to them, and they should be interested in filling you with the right answers.

Question: You said that starting from this convention and onward, you see that the center or core of the group will advance from convention to convention. How can one be in this center? What commitments should a person take upon themselves in order to progress? What did you mean?

Answer: I believe that from lesson to lesson, even at this convention, you will receive special assignments, instructions, and recommendations that will create a space between you where you will begin to reveal spiritual qualities, a spiritual field. What we will go through together, we will try to stay connected to this field at all times. Right now, we are not going to determine who enters this space and who does not, as that would be the wrong approach.

This is what I meant. We will be working exclusively on this spiritual field, which we ourselves create between us. From there, we will begin to ascend the spiritual degrees.

Question: You always recommend that we think about unity. How can we help each other realize this condition?

Answer: Imagine that you are connecting with everyone and want to do everything so that your collective unity would reflect the upper light.

Question: At the convention, all the parts that fell from one soul have gathered. How do we now unite these parts? And is there a density of the unification, or can we unite more and more?

Answer: This is not your problem. This is done with the help of the upper light on the degrees of the Creator. So do not stumble over this.

Question: If we have no lack (need), then where is the place for prayer?

Answer: When the light affects you, then the deficiencies felt in the still uncorrected desires will appear.

Question: To reach Lishma, two conditions must be fulfilled. The first is to dissolve into others and become zero.

The second is to find out with what Aviut (the power of desire) I can act in order to pull others along. How can I use my Aviut, and how do I figure out what I can use?

Answer: This can only be discussed after you annul yourself. Then you will be able to raise your Aviut and work with it.

The elevation happens only by adding Aviut. But at the same time, we can lower it to zero, meaning use it for ourselves.

Question: So I can add a bit of vanity, yet not for myself but for everyone?

Answer: You can.

Question: On ordinary days, when a lesson or Zoom begins, my inner egoism, this donkey, constantly resists; it doesn’t want to go to the lesson, it makes me look at my watch, and I tell it: “Shut up, leave me alone!”

But here, at the convention, there is so much love and so much light that this donkey sits silently, and it likes everything. Does this mean that the work has stopped?

Answer: No, the work has not stopped. You simply connect your desire with the desires of your friends, and this huge desire affects your feelings and presses on them. And all this leads to the fact that you will feel yourself together with your friends as one desire in the center of creation.

World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 3

Question: What could be done now to achieve Lishma?

Answer: For this you need to assemble such a ten that would reveal to you the internal structure of the entire universe, and then you could feel how you are approaching its center.

Question: What efforts must be multiplied in order to enter Lishma?

Answer: Becoming closer in our hearts is the only thing we lack. Each one must examine his own heart, what he really desires, and thus appeal to his friends and strive toward the common goal.
