Question: If we feel the evil inclination in ourselves and want to correct it, we can ask the Creator for help because only He has the power to change our nature. But what can we ask of the teachers, of the righteous?

Answer: The same as of the Creator.

Question: What is the difference then?

Answer: You are surrounded by your friends, you feel each other, you can rise and fall relative to each other. But if you relate to your friends only as to those who are above or below you, this is insufficient.

Question: Does this mean that I need to feel connected with my friends and from this connection turn to the righteous and teachers with the same requests as to the Creator?

Answer: No, through your connection with friends you must turn to the Creator, because the group of friends must lift you up and lead you to the Creator.

Question: What should be done to thank the Creator?

Answer: If you feel gratitude toward the Creator for what He is doing for you now, all you can do is bow before Him and surrender to Him, so that He continues working on you further.

Question: To rise, do you need to feel your own pain or the pain of others?

Answer: Your own.

Question: How should we turn to the Creator in states of descent and hopelessness?

Answer: In such states, you must stop all your internal sensations and raise them to the Creator. This will be the most correct and reliable action.

Question: Is joy and gratitude toward the Creator also correction?

Answer: Not “also,” this is the correction.

Question: How can we—those who haven’t yet reached spiritual understanding—raise the importance of this work in the ten? Since when we go home now, part of us simply feels spiritually dead.

Answer: You are still and will be for some time under the direct guidance of the Creator. So keep this in mind. Everything that happens to you is a result of external influence. Try to write down the most vivid phrases, appeals to the Creator, and make them key for yourself. After that, we will go together.

Question: It is said one should thank the Creator for the past and for what will happen to him in the future. How can we help each other hear His answer correctly and thank Him?

Answer: How do we understand the Creator’s answer correctly? I would advise you to consider that you have received the answer, even though you do not understand it. Consider that the Creator clears all paths and ways to Him before you.

You can come and address Him, draw closer to Him, and demand from Him. But in fact this will happen when you accumulate your efforts and your requests and raise all this to the Creator. Then He will answer you.

World Kabbalah Convention “Connecting to Lishma,” Lesson 4

Question: How can one bare one’s heart for a perfect prayer when egoism does not allow one to be honest with oneself?

Answer: It does not matter whether egoism allows it or not. When we are in an environment like a convention, our main goal is to awaken the upper light. Then it will become clear to us how far we are from the collective attainment of the Creator.

We must never look back and think, “How can I achieve this? This is holding me back and that is holding me back.” Nothing is holding us back! Even the most difficult questions that arise do so only to push us to rise above them and take another step forward.

Question: And what is that step right now?

Answer: That we unite even more and take this step together.

Question: We are creating a common heart with our efforts. But without the Creator’s force, it is just a heart. How can we invite the Creator into it and ask Him to sustain it?

Answer: Indeed, it depends entirely on the Creator. And the Creator’s response depends solely on our desire and our request. Our request, in turn, depends on how consistently we remain in it.

So it all comes down to us, our desire, our plea, our prayer, that determines how much we can form a common vessel (Kli) where everyone feels as if they are inside their own heart, filled with the desires and actions of all.

Today, I have already observed several friends, both men and women, who have changed significantly during this time. You will see how, over these two days, we will go deeper into our hearts, into our thoughts, and reach the level of faith above reason.

Question: Can we do an exercise of moving from Lo Lishma to the intention of Lishma every moment, in thought, in prayer?

Answer: Yes.

Question: I begin my prayer for my friends even though I have some self-interest, my egoistic nature. How can I gradually eliminate it so my request ends with Lishma?

Answer: Compare your goals with a common goal, and you will see how much of your goal disappears in the common one.

Question: Is the common goal and the goal of bringing the Creator contentment the same, or are they two different things?

Answer: The purpose of bringing the Creator contentment is unclear to us; these are just words. Therefore, we need to somehow put it together in the ten.

Question: If such a request, a prayer, to the Creator, truly arises, what will happen? Will He respond?

Answer: The Creator is already responding; we just don’t understand His answers.

He tells us that if we follow the right path, that is, if we abandon our egoistic goals, then we will elevate ourselves to the next level of development.

There we will be completely different. First of all, we will no longer be immersed in ourselves, in our egoism. We will strive to create a reality where everyone is equal. And beyond that, the most important thing for us will be to feel the necessity of holding on to each other, of staying together. This is what the Creator wants to bring us to.

Question: Are you talking about all of humanity? About relationships between people, between countries, between everything? Is this our next degree?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why don’t we want to move toward it? It sounds very appealing, considering the state of our reality.

Answer: “Do I have to think about others? I can’t, and I don’t want to.” That is what every person feels.

Question: And the Creator will give us this ability if we turn to Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But do I have to truly desire this next stage?

Answer: I have to reach the realization that I must desire it.

Comment: It seems like this desire can only come from something very bad.

My Response: Gradually, that is exactly what we are descending into.

Question: So we will be brought to something very bad, to the point where we finally ask: “Give us the ability to be together”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It is said the people of Israel are obliged to prepare themselves and all the people of the world for spirituality by studying the Torah and commandments.

I feel that we are intermediaries between the whole world and the Creator. How can we make our work better?

Answer: Every day we need to extract strength, a more precise direction, and a clearer goal from the material we read so we do not make mistakes and constantly feel that we are correcting our advancement from yesterday to tomorrow.

Question: We are constantly raising prayers, but so does the whole world. How do these prayers connect? Or do we gather together, and the whole world joins us later?

Answer: No, prayers are integrated into each other and uplift the mood. Only our unity helps all the nations of the world. We, as intermediaries, bring down MAD (Mei Dhurin) to the nations of the world.

Question: Usually we ask the Creator, “Connect us with the ten, give us love for our friends,” which means we ask about the future while living in the present. How can we ask about the present?

Answer: Ask for everything, from the greatest requests to the smallest ones. The Creator will arrange them in order and give you what you need.

Question: You said that the connection with a friend should feel the same as the connection with the Creator. How can we feel the connection with the Creator within the connection with friends in the ten?

Answer: You also need to ask for this and try to penetrate deeper into your request to the Creator, and you will see that He will make it happen.

Question: How can we deeply penetrate this request to the Creator?

Answer: You will feel what you are lacking. That is already a matter of feeling.

Question: You have told us that when contact with the Creator happens, I have to give Him everything that I have prepared. What should I prepare for the bestowal to the Creator?

Answer: Do you have any requests, wishes, or pleas for Him?

Comment: Yes.

My Response: This is what you should prepare. Then start asking the Creator precisely about the fulfillment of these wishes.

Question: Can we in the ten accumulate and build this set of pleas?

Answer: Of course you can. Then you can track how your requests change, how the ten is transforming with this, etc.

Question: Is it possible to sense that the Creator has answered us?

Answer: No, don’t be confused. For now just ask and demand an answer from Him.
