Constant Prayer

221.0Question: How should our prayer change with regard to what is happening in the world?

Answer: Prayer practically should not change. We ask the Creator to reveal Himself a little more between us.

Then we will understand what we must do to be connected with Him forever.

Pleas to the Creator Expand Feelings

624.02Question: The confidence in the Creator is not that He will do something, but that He is doing the best for us. Why do we need the prayer since confidence in the Creator is the prayer?

Answer: It is necessary to ask the Creator because it expands your feelings, and you must take care of it. The Creator deliberately sets such conditions for you from which you are not able to get out of by yourself, you must ask Him.

Question: How can I practically use the desire of a friend to come to the strength of desire that is sufficient to be merged with the Creator?

Answer: You must unite with your friends in a common striving, turn to the Creator, and ask Him to lift you up to Him.

Question: How can we plead with friends? After all, when we scrutinize our prayer, everyone has their own opinion.

Answer: These opinions should merge and support each other.

What Does the Power of Prayer Depend On?

239Question: What should be the preliminary preparation in order to come to the prayer that will be a real weapon?

Answer: It should come from the heart. The power of prayer depends on the strength of the connection between us, on how much we will be as one man with one heart, on how much your friends will enter into you, join your heart, and from this common heart you turn to the Creator.

Question: Should we convey to people that hatred should not be for the enemy, but for the war?

Answer: Hatred should not be toward the enemy or the war but toward our egoism. Only toward it.

Bait for the Creator

936Question: You said that we should catch the Creator. When we fish, we need to have bait. What is this bait?

Answer: You should catch the Creator through your desire, your prayer, and your request to Him. Therefore turn to Him as often as possible and as much as possible.

The Creator is waiting for us to want Him to open our hearts and connect them, and that we would feel in one common united heart all the power and mystery of the universe.

Request for Love

239Question: The Creator does not give charity (alms), He gives a gift. How and what should we ask for?

Answer: I cannot advise you about what to ask. It should come from the heart. But, between us, there is nothing more to ask from the Creator except love. He gives us everything, and love only upon request.

The Dome of the World

272I pray that all soldiers at the frontline return home in peace, that the war will end, and that all the people in the world will understand that war is the greatest evil that can be, and that we will live in a world in which there will be no more wars; there will be no more hatred but only connection.

Today, in our state, with such enemies and haters, it seems like a perfect utopia. And yet, we want peace to reign over the whole earth so that the revelation of the Creator appears above us and covers and protects us like a dome of peace.

Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Nature

583.01Question: I feel the hearts of my friends, but my heart is torn into pieces. I keep bumping into the wall of egoism when I try to open it. I feel terrible shame from the thought that if I open my heart, everyone will see that there is criticism, judgements, and all sorts of nonsense.

Answer: So what’s the big deal? First, the usual answer to this is: “Go to the Creator who created my heart this way, complain to Him.” Therefore, when a person reveals his bad heart, he should not be ashamed and hide.

He must try to rise up and ask the Creator to correct, in general, what the Creator Himself did. We have every right to turn to Him and demand that He correct our hearts.

The science of Kabbalah is built on the fact that we unite in asking and demanding correction. And the Creator initially says: “I created the evil inclination and gave the Torah to correct it.”

What does “the Torah to correct it” mean? This is the highest light that we can attract, and it will correct us; only it can do this. And our task is to discover our faults and evil, and ask the Creator for help. He specifically waits for us to beg Him because in this case we will draw closer to Him.

Everyone can ask the Creator, and He hears everyone, but we must push Him to action only from the group. There are thousands of people at the convention, and therefore, when you ask and speak, you connect with each other and unite in a common heart.

In ordinary life, we act in tens. And if the ten is united, it can influence the Creator so that He changes each of its friends. Good luck to you!

Why Is the Force of the Group Needed?

931.02Question: There is the force of the group. We know that if the friends do not pray for me, I will not rise. My spirit is lifted only by them thinking about me. That is how I use it. But what for?

Answer: In order to rise and pull them along with you; just like today maybe they are pulling you along with them. After all, everyone helps the other and thus we achieve the goal.

We must unite into one single system called Adam from which we all scattered by our egoism and return again to this single desire where everyone supports everyone, holds on and clings to each other, and thus unite in one heart. Then we will begin to feel only one force between us and around us—the Creator.

Ask for Unity

167Question: My inner ten is in my heart, and I also want to bring everyone I meet at the convention into my heart and to keep them there. With what prayer for the group should I combine my inner work?

Answer: To unite all in one group as much as possible. No matter how many of you there are, five, ten, fifty, or a hundred people, no matter how many, you should not limit yourself in this. Everyone who wants to join each other during the convention can be together.

Question: What should we ask for the group at this time?

Answer: Connection of everyone into one single heart without any differences between us.

When to Pray in Silence?

237Question: You said that it is beneficial to say a prayer out loud both in the ten and in person. Why is it important to pronounce, and when is it better to pray in silence?

Answer: When you speak your prayer, you connect with your friends, and there is nothing closer than that.

On the other hand if you are not in connection with them, it is better not to speak aloud. That is, a person who speaks reveals his soul so to say, and this can harm him.
