Question: In this lesson, you revealed something interesting for me: All the manifestations of the Creator that I observe externally, it turns out, are within me. You said that through myself, I can reveal the Creator to all creations. How can this be done?

Answer: By attaining the Creator, we unite in His desire to fill all creations. This fulfillment depends on our development. It turns out that the more we develop, connect with one another, and feel the inner force of creation, the more we attain what the Creator manifests within us.

Question: Can we, through our unity, accelerate the development of all of creation with the purpose of revealing the Creator?

Answer: Of course. In doing so, we not only accelerate, but also reveal creation in a different way. It is one thing when we are unwilling to advance creation through our development, and another when the Creator does not need to lead us through various problems. Instead, we ourselves wish to uncover, study, correct, and fulfill these problems.

Question: Where does the awakening from below come from?

Answer: The awakening from below comes from the Kli, from the same system that gradually awakens from its shattered state. That is why increasingly shattered states are revealed in us; they progress from minor to major so that we may correct them.

All the awakened states reveal our shattering to us, our separation from each other and the Creator. Above these states, we must create a connection between us, not by erasing or leveling them, but by building bridges of connection between us despite them. That is the essence of correction.

In this process, we will have the left line (states awakened from above), the right line (corrections awakened by us with the help of the upper light), and the middle line where these two lines merge and produce a common result, that is, our adhesion with the Creator.

Question: The state of connection with the Creator is a wonderful state. Can we share it with friends, and how can this affect our progress?

Answer: We can constantly move toward a greater revelation of the Creator. This is the main commandment, the main attainment of our existence.

When we do so, we will also strive to share our impressions that we start to attain from nature.

Question: You said that the Creator has to be revealed to all of creation through yourself. What does “through yourself” mean? How can this even be implemented?

Answer: Through love you connect with other creations, and what you reveal in the Creator, you want to pass through yourself to all creations.

This creates a connection between all creations through you. In this way you correct the entire creation, help the Creator, and become His partner.

When the measure of labor is complete, it is the time of prayer, but until then, believe in our sages: “I did not labor and found, do not believe.”

When the measure is full, your prayer will be complete and the Creator will grant generously, as our sages instructed us, “I labored and found, believe,” for one is unfit for a prayer prior to this, and the Creator hears a prayer (Baal HaSulam, Letter 57).

This entire world, all the upper worlds, all their degrees descending from above downward, and all our work in this world are designed to lead us to a request, a cry, a prayer, a plea to the light, to the Creator asking Him to perform our correction. Our task is only to reveal the need for this correction, and in this there will be no concessions.

The need for correction consists of several components. First one must understand precisely what is corrupted and what kind of correction is necessary. Then one must realize that they are incapable of performing this correction on their own and that only the Creator can accomplish it. However, the Creator will act only if one genuinely feels the need for this correction and demands help from Him.

Thus, this cry encompasses many elements. Only through specific work and persistent efforts, carried out according to the advice of the Kabbalists, through long, arduous, and exhausting efforts, do we come to attain this fundamental concept that underpins everything. It is called “prayer,” the first request and initial contact with the Creator.

Everything is arranged in such a way that we have no task other than to prepare ourselves for this prayer. The upper light governs all, while we, as creations, are only capable of revealing within ourselves the need for correction. Therefore, the person, the study, the group, all our actions, and the entire world that seemingly surrounds us, all of these exist to help form the correct request from creation to the Creator, a request to which the light must respond.

It is said that “the cow wants to nurse more than the calf wants to suckle.” Nonetheless, according to the order of the degrees, this desire from above cannot act until there is a preceding desire from below. Therefore it is we who activate the upper light and draw its influence toward us, so we have no room for complaints.

Do not claim that you are already crying out and praying. It is a misunderstanding to think you can pray before the prayer has been born and formed as a result of your efforts. One must internalize many concepts to develop the desire capable of awakening the light.

After all, this is not simply a prayer read from a prayer book that dictates where one should weep and where one should rejoice. We must achieve a prayer that emerges from the depths of the heart. The work within the heart is what is called true prayer.

Thus, nothing will help except to apply efforts in accordance with the advice of our teachers. In this way we will shape the correct need within ourselves through the surrounding light. With every action we awaken small illuminations that gradually construct our desire and bring it to a state where it becomes suitable for correction.

Question: What does it mean to become a support for the Creator, which leads to adhesion?

Answer: It means that in your state, within your group, you become the point where all questions and all answers, say, on a given topic, converge. In this way, you continue to move forward.

Question: Why can the greatness of the Creator be realized only through the coarse, lowly matter of a person, and from this adhesion can be achieved?

Answer: It is because the Creator resides within a person, and what a person says is of no consequence. The most important thing is the fact that the Creator does through him.

Comment: You clearly describe how the connection is formed between the friends in the group through the Creator.

My Response: Certainly. Then, to the extent of similarity to the Creator, the upper force manifests itself between them. Just like any physical law, as we attune to the same wavelength, we catch it and ether appears between us that binds us together. We catch each other and catch this ether, the Creator, who is between us.

Question: But you said that if a person reaches a state where he feels the Creator, then he perceives everything differently. Then there is no more “between us,” it is already one?

Answer: How can there be no between us? There is always a connection system between us. It is like a receiver in which you catch the Creator, discover the upper force. Without this detector, you will not perceive the Creator.

We are inside this immense force, but we cannot capture it and realize it. How can we use it? Only if we discover it. How can we reveal it between ourselves? Only if we unite.

This is a simple physical law, and there are many such phenomena in the world. When we attune ourselves to certain frequencies and forces, then we discover that they exist. The same applies to the entire universe around us: we tune ourselves to perceive it and then we sense it.

The same is true with the Creator. The Creator is the general force of the entire universe, that is why Einstein sought to discover one universal law.

Comment: But you gave the example of a simple device that can be used to catch a wave. And here is a completely different device that consists of many parts.

My Response: What’s the difference? We connect our relationships with one another and build a common field within which we discover the source of upper radiation called the Creator. We reveal that He created us, sustains us, that He is everything!

Question: What is the most effective method of interaction among students?

Answer: Internal, without any writing or talking, from heart to heart.

Comment: You say you feel this from the heart, but we don’t. It’s really hard for us to understand.

My Response: No, it’s not hard at all. In fact, you simply tune into the waves that exist around us. You need to adjust yourself to them. It’s literally like a radio receiver.

Question: But you cannot lose spiritual attainment if you distance yourself from the group, can you?

Answer: Of course not, because within me, this oscillatory circuit already exists.

Do you know how a simple crystal radio receiver works? I remember how as boys we used to build one without even using a battery. We’d take a long antenna, say, twenty meters, a coil, a diode, and a headphone, and that was it. We’d hang the antenna outside and connect the other end to the ground. It would pick up signals, and you’d hear them.

In this analogy, the coil represents the surrounding environment, which amplifies the signals. You are the detector, which must allow waves to pass only in one direction to resonate with the coil. The headphone is your perception organ, your quality of bestowal: your sense, your ear. Nothing else is needed.

The setup works on the same principle as a crystal radio receiver, the simplest device for catching waves. If we examine other devices, they all operate according to this principle.

You must tune yourself to a single wave, a single direction. Nearby, there must be an environment that amplifies this direction. You enter into resonance and catch the wave through the quality of bestowal.

The large antenna represents the desire to catch the upper force, while grounding is essential to work accurately with your egoism and your desires. The earth symbolizes desire.

Question: How can we increase the speed of unfolding Reshimot?

Answer: The most reliable way is to work in a group. Then you will definitely stimulate the Reshimot of the group toward faster realization. Any effort you make to draw closer to each other, whether successful or unsuccessful, does not matter; the main thing is that your efforts are aimed at transforming the group into one unified whole.

Imagine that you are one unified whole. It doesn’t matter that we are different and that on the level of our world we repel each other. Women, in particular, feel this more acutely than men. However, this does not mean that they are further from spirituality, it is simply their natural disposition.

Everyone who experiences greater rejection from others has greater potential for ascent. So it is said: “Everyone who is greater than his friend, his evil inclination is greater.” People who have a big ego initially feel it as a huge obstacle; this is in the left line. And later, they correct it in the right line.

Each subsequent Reshimo determines the next state of the group because it is not an individual Reshimo of each of us, but of the ten Sefirot, which are becoming more and more similar to the Creator. After all, even the Reshimo that is revealed in me today comes from my state in the group.

You might say, “But I am not in the group yet. Where do I get any new feelings from?” Let’s say you are studying “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” (Pticha) or Shamati and feel that something is changing in you.

The fact is that spiritually you nevertheless exist in a group; you are already in it anyway, but you have not discovered it yet, it has not yet been revealed to you. Therefore, when some spiritual data changes in you, it actually changes your attitude toward the group you are in, even though you do not know it yet.

Like, for example, an infant who was born, develops, and does not yet know what kind of world he is in, but he exists in it. He is already somehow influencing the world with his cries and needs, and the world is influencing him by preparing special food for him, diapers, and so on. That is, there is interaction, but it is not yet conscious.

In such a way, you still exist in the group, you still haven’t left the system of Adam, even though it has been shattered to pieces.

It shattered the mutual feeling of all its parts. As, for example, the nerve connection between the leg and the head has been severed in the body, and the head does not control the leg, the same thing happens with us.

We are in the same system, only it has received an additional egoistic connection, and instead of thinking about unification, each part thinks about itself.

Question: Suppose I am driving down the road, and another driver cuts me off. What should I do at this moment to connect this incident to “There is None else besides Him” at the deepest level?

Answer: You need to remember that everything happening to you occurs solely under the guidance of the Creator. After that, your work begins.

Additionally, your group should remind you of this; talk about it and discuss it. Connection with the group is essential so that you can bestow to them, influence them, and they in turn can influence you. Working alone will inevitably leave you trapped in egoism.

If a person is not part of a group, not connected with others in serious spiritual connection, it is almost useless to work with him. This is permissible only if he is a beginner who has found a small society where he can develop as an integral part and complement himself within that society. Only in such a case!

We exist in a system of forces that operates this way. Just as in our world, we are entirely dependent on one another and see that we are involuntarily moving toward greater integration, so it is here as well.

If your egoism pushes you away from this, that is natural. It will repel you, providing countless justifications and arguments that you can progress on your own. However, in the end, all of that is false and will lead to nothing.
