Question: You said that we should see the difference between our initial state and our current one. I feel that I do see this difference. But how can I be sure that it is not just my illusion and that real progress is happening?

Answer: You must keep persistently demanding connection with the higher Partzuf, which clothes itself in you and moves you forward.

Question: How can one correctly redirect one’s thoughts toward the Creator?

Answer: I think there is no need to think about it too much. You simply need to understand how to adhere to the Creator. And if you can do that, you do not need anything else.

Question: Why is faith important in spiritual work if a person wants to know the truth?

Answer: Faith in the spiritual sense means truth. So it does not matter who is asking or how they are asking.

The main thing is that you ask for what is truly necessary for your further advancement toward the goal. And then there will be no problems.

Question: In striving to achieve mutual guarantee, is it possible that we are directing too much effort outward instead of acting within ourselves?

Answer: This might be valid if we didn’t find in practice that engaging in external dissemination unites us, gives us confidence, strength, and upliftment, which we receive back from the communities we serve.

By building something outwardly, we thereby build ourselves. It is impossible to say what the correct balance should be. We try. This, essentially, is a kind of action called “we will do and we will hear.”

We see that we are constantly undergoing changes. One must act according to the understanding of one’s state. What else can we do? This is our path, because seeking and discovering is that practical work through which we carry out clarifications and corrections.

To aspire toward the final state is good. But by discovering different things now and performing tiny actions, we generate details of perception without which the end of correction cannot be felt.

The difference between the end of correction and the beginning of creation lies only in the added details of our perception (Avchanot), which we collect along the way.

You return to the same state, only inside yourself you become more diverse and more refined; more opposite details of perception and distinguishable inner qualities appear within you.

This is what allows you, instead of being a point merged with the Creator as you once were, to become a Partzuf and truly existing on His level.

Gradually we begin to see that the people of Israel have no hope for success in economics, security, international recognition, and not even in simple material existence. We exist in this world as a completely useless part of it, and the world despises and hates this part.

This is a law of nature! We are all within nature, and its law is that the entire human part of the world must be in adhesion with the Creator. This is what we must bring everyone to.

We have a method that helps the human part, each and every one, come to equivalence of form with the Creator, due to which a person begins to feel that there are higher components besides his animal part within him. Even in his animal part, he also feels himself in serene peace, in perfection and eternity.

That’s all! The method of how to be happy is in our hands! And this we must reveal to everyone, and first of all to our own people because they are destined to suffer more than others. So let them know why they suffer; it is because they must implement this method before others and teach it to the rest of the nations.

The Creator Himself, as it were, cannot give the Torah to all the nations, cannot bring humanity to the highest level of existence. This can be fulfilled only through us.

Question: How can we distribute our efforts in the most effective way so that they lead us to mutual guarantee by the shortest route? What practical actions should we perform?

Answer: We see that these actions lie in such areas as study, support for the existence of the inner group, and external dissemination. All these things relate to the practical part and are the means for us to achieve the realization of mutual guarantee among ourselves. And if someone thinks that there is any other means, then we must check whether this is so.

Ultimately the goal is one: for a group of students drawn to spirituality to understand that they are obliged to achieve mutual guarantee. This obligation must become a necessity to such an extent that it really attracts the light from above, which will correct them and lead them to the level of mutual guarantee. This is called “we shall do and we shall hear.” We are ready to do anything, if only this condition is realized in us.

Question: If a person is shown that he is not in perfection in his relationship with the Creator, how can he stay on the path and continue to choose the Creator each time?

Answer: What is the problem? He is shown the full picture: where he is, where the Creator is, and where the world is. And from all of this, he must build the correct system.

Question: When a person worries about himself, that he is distant from the Creator, how can he avoid thinking about his own distance and instead include in this sorrow the exile of the Shechina?

Answer: I would advise him to forget about himself a little. And then things will start to work out.

A person advancing in correction begins to recognize forces within oneself he or she can consciously call “Abraham,” “Moses,” “the people of Israel,” and “the nations of the world” even before reaching true revelation.

Somehow a person distinguishes them and suddenly sees that this, in all likelihood, is that very aspiration, that desire, called “Abraham.” Abraham probably related entirely to this since other desires had not yet been revealed in him.

What is “Abraham” today? It is the uppermost layer within all souls, the purest desire to receive, which is ready to adhere to the Creator, but only if it is separated from all other desires.

In the past, it was indeed separated, because the other, more coarse desires had not yet been revealed.

Question: To whom within myself should I explain what the purpose of creation is?

Answer: You must explain the purpose of creation and everything that happens not only to the external world but also to your inner world so that all your desires, all your impulses, will understand it.

Then you begin to sort them out according to how each desire at each moment can be aligned in relation to the overall goal.

You cannot simply erase some desires. You are obligated to give them some kind of answer, some kind of fulfillment, some kind of correction. Even those desires that cannot currently be truly corrected in practice you must satisfy through the advancement of your other parts, your other desires.

The desires with which you are currently unable to move forward on the path of correction, you must compensate for. That is, you must restrict them, refrain from using them even if you greatly want to. How can this be done? You must give them a kind of sweetening of the state in which they are not being fulfilled and not being realized.

Comment: I have a feeling that each of us has their own channel of connection with the Creator.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Should we examine the channel of connection that our friends have?

Answer: That’s none of your business. Disconnect from that thought. Be yourself, and on that level try to be with the entire ten.

The sons of the people of Israel who left Egypt continue their correction during the forty-year journey through the desert with the help of the Torah they received, enter the land of Israel, and reach the level called the First Temple.

After that, they must mix with an even greater Aviut (coarseness), which increases both within them and among the nations of the world. This pertains, of course, to the system of souls, but it is evident from history that corresponding processes occur in physical bodies as well.

As a result, each person from Israel feels an addition of Aviut, and then what is called an inner exile takes place when they are no longer able to remain in the degree of adhesion with the Creator that they had attained.

Now they are capable of less; new desires grow stronger within them. This means that a person enters into a connection with the nations of the world within themselves, and in accordance with that, external processes unfold that lead to destruction.

Destruction means that we mentally disconnect from that perception of life in which we are united with one force, with one thought, and we begin to fall into the multitude of desires.
