Not A Single Word Without Love

527.02Tomorrow, the International Kabbalah Convention begins. Every second, new friends from all over the world are arriving, and tomorrow, they will be joined by friends from across Israel. In the physical center of the convention in Israel alone, more than two and a half thousand people will participate.

What guidance can be given here? Simply to wish each one to desire to feel others within their heart. This is the most correct and beautiful intention.

Strive to be as close to one another as possible, and do not utter a single word that is not aimed at clarifying love.

An Indicator of Spiritual Work

938.02Question: Is it love or the fire in our hearts that is the indicator of bestowing to the Creator?

Answer: The indicator is the connection with the Creator. Initially it is not entirely accurate to call it love. However, after some effort we will start to feel what will happen if we strive correctly for the connection and what it will look like then.

Gradually we will begin to unite with others as complements to one another, as support for one another, and so on. Eventually we will develop a desire that will bind us, and we will receive a response from the Creator: who we are, what we are, and what we are going to attain.

The Correct Tuning

202.0Question: How are thoughts connected to feelings?

Answer: Thoughts govern both the mind and the body. Therefore it is crucial for us to bring ourselves to a state in which we feel only one desire. If we achieve this, it means that we are tuned correctly.

Direct Your Heart to Your Friend

938.01Question: What exercise should we do in our hearts to correctly direct our thoughts?

Answer: If your heart is open to your friends, you will clearly feel that what you understand now is exactly what they are saying. To direct your heart to a friend means that you wish to be united with them in one heart so that your desires align.

You want to feel the questions together as if you are the ones asking them and the answers as if you are the ones answering. This is very important.

You should imagine that the questions being asked are directed personally at you, and you are personally answering them. If you listen to the entire convention in this way, you will feel how you are being filled.

Strengthen in Connection

938.04Comment: I direct my heart straight to the Creator, and I feel that I prevent Him from clothing in it. And I cannot understand where I should strengthen myself—either in the power of Aviut (coarseness) that is directed toward the Creator or in the purity of my intention to bring Him contentment.

My Response: You need to strengthen yourself in unity with your friends who are present here so that throughout the entire congress you are with them as one whole.

Enter the Atmosphere of the Convention

938.03World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 1

Question: As I understand it, a person in the state of Lishma is aligned with one thought, with one desire of the Creator. What is this thought of the Creator, and how can it be isolated and cleared from the hundreds of desires that are constantly arising, even now during the lesson?

Answer: At the convention there is a certain atmosphere that everyone can enter. Then our thoughts and desires become more powerful.

When thoughts and their actions that manage our feelings unite and reach a certain magnitude, then we will feel that we have our internal Kli—desire and intention. From this moment onward it will be easier for us to return to these thoughts.

Preserve the Feeling of Unity

275Question: Yesterday there was a worldwide women’s gathering as preparation for the convention. At the end of the gathering we felt like one woman. How can we maintain this feeling and bring it into the convention?

Answer: You need to maintain the connection among all the friends so that there is such unity in which you promise not to separate from each other, and then everything will be fine. You will immediately begin to add more and more to the connections between you.

The Group Is a Means of Direction to the Goal

528.02Question: How do we increase the importance of the group?

Answer: It depends on the greatness of the goal. To the extent of its greatness, you attain the greatness of the means to achieve the goal.

The group is the only means by which we can reach the goal.

That is, I can reach eternity and perfection only if I join the group as an absolutely homogeneous integral element, find my place, take it, precisely connect everyone else around me, like a Lego, and precisely replenish what I must replenish. Then I will begin to feel the common life of the entire group, of the entire system, including the Creator.

Imagine that the Creator is revealed within this system in the connections between its elements; in other words, the system in general is more important than the Creator. Although this system is a means for His revelation, and His revelation is the goal, since He is in it, it is as if it includes Him within it. From this point of view, it is greater than the Creator.

Although the Creator has created and fills it, but since it is as if it includes Him, when you attain the full perception, you do not see the difference between them because in their properties they are absolutely similar and equal.

Pleasure from Unity

630.2Question: We feel pleasure from our unity. How should we relate to it? When it comes, you want to freeze and not move at all.

Answer: Do not enjoy it like an ordinary egoist. Enjoy the fact that you can attract this pleasure through your friends.

Question: But how do we do this?

Answer: Tell yourself that you want to see this pleasure coming to you through your friends.

Question: Can we try to internally give this pleasure to our friends?

Answer: No, you cannot imagine any pleasures with which you fill others. It is unnatural. We will talk about this later.

Exercise for Working in the Ten

528.04Question: Rabash writes in Article 13 that we must not forget to constantly raise the question of how far we have progressed in love of friends.

Does that mean that we should do this as a mandatory exercise at meetings of the ten, at gatherings, or is this individual work? What exercise do you recommend for working in the ten?

Answer: I recommend that you constantly think during your studies about how you can unite, how everyone can make way for friends, and then you will succeed.
