Question: Where does advancement from our current state begin?

Answer: We do not need to change any of our actions; we are only required to give all the actions we perform in life the correct direction. That will be the difference.

A person does not perform bad or good deeds; his desires remain as they were and must receive their fulfillment. Just as Malchut was filled before the first restriction, so it will be filled at the end of correction. The first restriction acts only in order to build an intention for the sake of bestowal upon each desire.

That is, a person should not be thinking about his actions at all. When educating him, we do not forbid anything; we only teach how to connect with the Creator. If a person wants to establish a connection with the Creator, then adhesion is his final state, and now he must find a foothold for that connection; that is his current goal.

This is exactly what we teach him: how to grab hold of the “end of the rope,” how to ascend along it continuously. This ascent by the “rope” of intentions is called the spiritual ascent through the ladder from world to world until he reaches 100% intention, 100% connection.

As for a person’s desires, the essence of his actions will change according to the intention; yet the actions themselves will remain the same as before. Will he no longer eat or drink? Will he not reproduce or work?

Everything will remain as it was. Simply, based on the intention, he will naturally calibrate his actions. And in doing so, he will not have to restrain himself. This will occur because his inner world will establish a new relationship between thoughts and actions and filter them, but only from within his internal development, without any external suppression from us or anyone else.

We see how useless suppression is. What can the police do? What can all the prisons in the world achieve? Absolutely nothing! Education can rely only on personal example and should serve solely to give a person a connection to the upper force from which he will then receive everything. And only then, thanks to this, will the person change.

It is impossible to change a person by any other means. We have already seen all possible methods throughout history, and not one of them has worked—not a single one! Because aside from the change of intention, there is nothing else we need to do in the entire universe.

Question: If a person tries to carry out spiritual work in thought and action, but the heart remains deaf, a feeling arises that some kind of heaviness is constantly happening there.

How can I unite with the others from within this heaviness in the heart? What should I do to make use of this opportunity?

Answer: You must find the point of connection with the common group, with the common Kli. And from there you will begin to feel yourself in the center of that group. There you will receive answers.

Question: Am I searching for this common point through prayer?

Answer: Yes, the prayer is there as well.

Question: Is fear of the Creator equal to the measure of difference in qualities between me and Him? How can I stop being afraid of the Creator?

Answer: It is very simple. Start talking to Him. That is the easiest thing.

Question: And how can I hear the answer?

Answer: How to hear the answer? That is already a problem. If you strive for Him to hear you, from that you will understand what you need to do in order to hear Him.

Question: How did you reach such a high degree of love among the greatest friends? What did you pay for it?

Answer: With my free time. I filled all my free time with the study of Kabbalah—The Book of Zohar, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, the original Kabbalistic sources, that is the entire secret.

Question: If I experienced a descent due to some corporeal cause and was able to use that descent for a spiritual ascent, but the corporeal problem did not go away, how should I relate to it?

Answer: You should not worry about that; rather, be concerned about how to move forward on your spiritual path.

Question: How can we help a friend who is in a descent and for whom corporeality is more important than spirituality?

Answer: We study this all the time. You can even read nothing else besides the materials from our congress.

Most of the lessons are about how we unite and thereby pull each other out of the darkness into the light. That is all there is to it.

Question: How can I pray correctly for the collective and ask the Creator for them if my heart only wants to pray for myself?

Answer: Try to think in a way that you genuinely want to ask for the collective, for the group, for those close to you, and for your friends. It all depends on how much you think about this.

Question: When I see a discrepancy in every point and ask for correction, but I ask for myself, how can I make that prayer for the collective?

Answer: Add the words that you are praying for everyone to it.

Question: How can we connect with other tens if each ten is a whole world in itself?

Answer: That is not your concern. Everything is done by the Creator: He lowers and raises the tens in relation to one another.

He has far more data about each group and combines them according to a specific path. Therefore, don’t pay attention to how or where we are.

Ask, you are obligated to ask.

Question: How can we understand that a friend is in a state of descent?

Answer: The most important thing is to constantly think about how you wish for the upper force to unite all the friends, bring them closer, connect them, and pull them upward.

That is what we must do. We must think about good deeds.

Question: How should I correctly annul myself before a friend in the ten?

Answer: It is certainly not easy, but essentially, it is the state we must reach.

Question: So should I accept the friend’s opinion instead of my own?

Answer: No, you should accept the friend’s opinion as the state you yourself want to reach.

Question: Is that called annulment?

Answer: You will see.

Baal HaSulam was a scholar engaged in pure science. He wrote in a high academic style. And my teacher Rabash is very close to us. He holds us in his arms and shows us, “This is how you should walk. This is exactly why you are experiencing such and such states.” He constantly guides you like a small child, helps, feeds, swaddles, does everything to raise you.

Rabash, in essence, created a Kabbalistic encyclopedia of inner spiritual work. He revealed all the states we have to go through in his articles. Therefore, if a person studies them all the time, he has no problems.

While working on an abridged version of these articles and going through them over and over again, I see how much it is like baby food, without which a child would not survive. A person cannot receive the nourishment of Kabbalah that Baal HaSulam actually gives one. Baal HaSulam pours such a light on him, it is like he places a steak in front of an infant.

But Rabash does not.  He turns all this into porridge, into boiled vegetables, into milk, which can be consumed in the proper portions. He was able to do it amazingly! And in such a style, in such a form, it is impossible to describe!

I remember how he wrote, every day a little bit, a little more, a little more, and by the end of the week the article would come out. He would hand it to me, and I would make copies and distribute it to the students. And for the entire following week we would read it, until a new article came out. And then the same thing again. In other words, it was a systematic, internal, spiritual work of mastering the spiritual space.
