What Does the Creator Expect?

233Question: When the Creator sends illumination from the next degree, what kind of reaction is He expecting?

Answer: He expects His student to immediately rise to this degree and begin working on it in order to quickly establish a complete connection with the Creator.

Question: Through what means does this ascent happen? If there is a desire to analyze everything in the mind and try to understand what the Creator wants to reveal, is this the right approach?

Answer: Yes, this is also correct. But the most important thing is to see what your friends desire and try to help them with that.

How Can We Shorten the Path to the Creator?

962.8Question: How long is the path from the realization of true evil to a genuine prayer? How can this path be shortened?

Answer: It is only by uniting between you in the group and studying the articles of Baal HaSulam and Rabash. The more you study, the more you understand that it is only through the study of the Torah that you can see how deeply egoism is rooted in you and how you must extract and correct it.

Question: How can we increase our spiritual vessel (Kli) in the group?

Answer: It is by drawing closer to each other. Only through this.

Turn to the Creator more often, ask Him for correction, but do so precisely when you notice that you are in need of correction and don’t just cry out for the sake of it.

The Connection Called the Temple

936The Temple is the revelation of the Creator that occurs within the prepared desires of a person that  they receive from the Creator.

These desires are capable of accommodating the Creator, and the person feels that the Creator fills them.

Question: How does a person in a state of lowliness and dust even suspect the existence of the Creator and know that they need to pray and build a Temple?

Answer: It is from the things he has already gone through. The Creator does not break off the connection with them. He simply shows the person where they are and at the same time gives them the opportunity to draw closer to Him from below upward.

Question: How can we help each other build the Temple in the ten?

Answer: Connect with each other and turn to the Creator so that He creates a connection between you that will be called the Temple and  fills it with His presence.

Force the Creator to Reveal Himself

938.03Question: We are trying to correct ourselves and want to ascend the spiritual degrees. What does the growth of the degrees depend on and how can we accelerate it?

Answer: It depends only on you.

The more you pray, ask, and strive for connection with your friends and through it for connection with the Creator, the faster you will reach such great desires that the Creator will be forced to reveal to you everything that He has for you.

Maximum Unity

945We have to know that all the souls extend from the soul of Adam HaRishon, for after he sinned in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, his soul divided into 600,000 souls (Rabash, “What Is the Degree One Should Achieve in Order Not to Have to Reincarnate?”)

The single upper illumination was divided into 600,000 souls. These particles are in all people, in each person.

Question: We increase our small particles with the desire to unite, and each ten creates its own luminous block. We must ignite these sparks in the rest of the world by taking care of dissemination. Kabbalists already see this final part, is this why they have the strength to work without interruption until the end?

Answer: Generally speaking they do not have much strength. As the spiritual world is revealed to a person, he has less and less strength. He needs to make more efforts to unite the spiritual forces within himself and rise to the Creator.

Question: This is very noticeable before a convention. Egoism presses, we don’t want to care about our friends, we want to think less and to unite less. How can each of us imagine the final picture in which we are all united? What should we strive for?

Answer: Toward maximum connection with friends.

Question: Is it possible to awaken sparks of the Creator’s light in each person with our common prayer?

Answer: It is possible. With a common, united prayer, we can achieve complete correction, ascend to the world of infinity, and anything we wish.

Draw Closer to Inner Desires

231.02Question: You said that one should pray to the Creator to point out mistakes and provide explanations. How can I receive these explanations and not confuse them with my own egoism?

Answer: You need to accept them as they come. This is how the Creator wants you to understand and realize your state. Then you should try to change them by drawing closer to your inner thoughts, desires, and forces, and thus gradually ascend the degrees of attainment.

Question: There are times when I pray a lot, but do not receive an answer. What is the Creator trying to tell me by this?

Answer: He is telling you that you have not yet added your most essential desires to your efforts.

Rise from a State of Lowliness

236.02Question: How can one come to true lowliness that leads to sincere prayer?

Answer: This happens when a person reveals that the very qualities, thoughts, and feelings they have regarding any upper goals are the lowest. They are really in the muck. And then they gain tremendous strength to ask the Creator to pull them out of this lowliness.

Question: Do we need to clearly define and recognize our flaws so the Creator can correct them?

Answer: Of course, how else would you ask if you do not feel this way?

Question: Is the degree of awareness of my flaw equal to the degree of the flaw itself?

Answer: This is unknown. Test it.

Question: If there is no awareness, should one believe that they feel the level of the flaw to correct it?

Answer: No, it does not work that way. You must feel it.

How Can You Feel the Creator’s Answer?

557Question: What does it mean if you devote all your efforts to the Creator and constantly ask Him questions, but get no answers?

Answer: Either your desire is not genuine, not directed at giving, or you cannot understand His response.

Question: How can we feel the answer in the group? Or will it go through everyone separately?

Answer: You must feel it only in your common Kli, if only you will work with it. Therefore, in no case should you stand out, but on the contrary, you should unite with each other more and more tightly.

The Main Thing Is to Ask All the Time

558Comment: You said that we ask the Creator to fill us and to bring us closer.

My Response: Yes.

Question: But Rabash writes that the correct asking is not for fulfillment, but for Kelim (vessels). What is the correct way to address Him?

Answer: Ask for what you have a desire and intention for. And when the Creator reveals your Kelim, you will see what happens there.

Question: Our desires seek fulfillment, something good, light. But how do you ask for what Rabash advises?

Answer: Ask; it does not matter what. The main thing is to keep asking all the time. And gradually your desires will become more sharply directed.

When Will the Creator Accept Our Work?

282.01Question: When working in a group, we find joy in our work for the Creator. How can we be sure that the Creator accepts our work?

Answer: You must feel it. If you unite among yourselves and in relation to the Creator, while desiring to give everything to Him, to be together with Him in everything, then you will feel that you are rising toward the Creator, and that He is descending to you.
