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.

The purpose of creation is intended for all souls—each individually and all together. However, it is impossible for everyone to attain this goal collectively because in some people the condition of Arvut (Mutual Guarantee) is initially unable to awaken immediately; it can only emerge after the prior work done by other souls.

Baal HaSulam writes that the forefathers did not need the condition of Arvut because their souls were subtle, and due to their exaltedness and purity, they were already in Dvekut (Adhesion) with the Creator without performing practical actions, that is, without carrying out preliminary corrections or fulfilling commandments.

They did not need to reach the condition of “we shall do and we shall hear” because by virtue of their subtlety, their souls were originally ready to exist in mutual guarantee without making the efforts that are required from us with our coarse Aviut.

Due to their purity, subtle souls receive the Torah, and the mutual guarantee is realized within them. This leads to the fulfillment of the condition “love your neighbor as yourself.” Then the light of the Torah clothes within them and they dwell in adhesion with the Creator.

After our forefathers attained this, the merit of the fathers arose for the sons. In other words, those souls that are now capable of joining the subtle souls with their more coarse Aviut use these pure souls by means of connection and mutual inclusion.

Therefore, the law of mutual guarantee is also realized for them, but only after performing certain work, prior actions. What are these actions? Everything that can lead them to the condition of mutual guarantee.

And once they attain this, they merit receiving the Torah, that is, the light, the system of correction of their Aviut for the purpose of achieving the principle “love your neighbor as yourself” when the Creator will already dwell in their common Kli (vessel).

For receiving the Torah, it is enough to fulfill the condition “we shall do and we shall hear,” that is, the agreement that the power of mutual guarantee should exist so that we should want to fulfill it, so that this ability would come from above. And upon receiving the power of the Torah, we begin to carry it out, and then we become “as one man with one heart” and a single Kli (vessel). We merit receiving the Torah, and then we must fulfill it, that is, begin the corrections.

Question: Suppose I am able to feel a certain quality within myself and I call it Moses. To what extent can I rely on this Moses to lead me where I need to go?

Answer: To what extent can one believe in or surrender to their own thoughts and decisions? After all, I label part of my thoughts as facts, another part as doubts, and some as lies. And it all constantly changes within me.

The fact is that testing the validity of these perceptions depends, first of all, on my discernment according to the principle of truth and falsehood rather than bitter and sweet.

The first real discernment in order to act based on truth versus falsehood rather than bitter versus sweet happens only when a person restricts their desires after receiving the force of Arvut (mutual guarantee).

Before that one cannot trust oneself in anything. And certainly, all decisions and judgments made before that are erroneous.

So what should he do? He should go according to the opinion of the group. He must understand that he has no understanding of his own, that he is completely mistaken, and that he must accept the knowledge of the group. This is what it means to go above reason.

We are talking about the group in relation to which he has decided that he will advance in accordance with what he receives from it. But first a person must understand that if he wants to rise above the animate level and begin a certain kind of development, he must submit to some external guidance.

Then he chooses a group that conveys its direction to him. He accepts from the group its opinions, intentions, decisions, view of life, everything necessary, and surrenders himself to it. This means that a person goes above his own reason following what the group dictates. In doing so, he triumphs over all the other forces in his life that deliberately confuse him so that he may reach this discernment.

Question: It is written that the Creator hates the bodies. Does it mean that we are supposed to hate something or someone?

Answer: No, the phrase “hates the bodies” refers to egoism. In Kabbalah, the term “body” means the ego.

Question: But are we supposed to hate egoism or not?

Answer: The Creator calls on us to rise above the ego, to reject its use, and to replace it with bestowal, love, and connection. But this by no means refers to destroying the ego.

Egoism remains anyway, we cannot eliminate it. What we must do is create conditions for rapprochement above it despite the ego that separates us.

Question: How can a person bring themselves to accept the opinion of the group by force?

Answer: This is the most difficult question. How can a person, with all their accumulated qualities, powers, and traits, accept the direction of the group? How can they do this every moment in accordance with their development, when they are within a group? Where is that button you can press so that the engine does not stop?

This is exactly what we must do. Where can you find the strength to listen to the group, submit to it, and receive from it what it gives? This is precisely what you must force yourself to do each time. This is called “buy yourself a friend.”

But the group is not just friends. “Haver” (friend) is an equal, from the word “Hibur” (connection). The group is also the teacher, something that dictates to you what to do, something whose opinion you must accept above your own.

Study the articles of Rabash about the group, and perhaps you will find advice on how to truly bow your head and receive this idea from the group.

Question: What has happened to humanity? We used to want to study, get degrees, become directors, and earn money!

Answer: But why? We are aware of the uselessness of all these tensions.

People still play sports. They climb mountains and do other things, hold competitions in fashion, in sports, and in everything else. That too will pass.

The most important question is why?

Comment: He will kill everything.

My Response: Yes, and humanity will calm down. And what will happen? Nothing. We will simply relate to each other.

Question: This is unclear. What does it mean “simply relate to each other”?

Answer: Simply, meaning in such a way that you do not cause anyone any negative feelings.

Question: Not to evoke hatred toward yourself?

Answer: Calmness! Just get your salary and spend the day as you wish. You will have enough time and desire to get used to this world and learn how to behave in it.

Comment: So the demand for more money, a bigger house, a pool in the yard…

My Response: There will be none of that. A person will begin to understand that he must live within his sensations, in a movement toward the correct attitude with others, an internal movement. And then a person who care about one’s specialty, salary, or anything.

If I have such an attitude toward others and I feel that others have the same attitude toward me, this mutual good network of forces between us, I feel it, I live in it. That is my work, I exist in it and so do all the others.

We only develop these mutual sensations of ours, without any effort. It should be without effort! This is how I treat others and others treat me, and everything freezes. And only that is the only feeling you perceive.

Question: And when you say: overcome our egoism, rise above egoism?

Answer: It is all inside. Just calm down.

Question: And it will be so calm? I always have the feeling that a person must make enormous efforts.

Answer: No, no, nothing! Quite the opposite. Why? If we relate to it correctly, then the upper light, which is in absolute rest, it will do everything. Just don’t worry. Just don’t interfere. “The Creator will finish it for me.” It is that simple.

Question: Harvard University, Princeton, etc. will not be needed?

Answer: No, nothing at all is needed.

Question: And studies, higher education, second, and third degrees?

Answer: No, not needed.

Comment: Humanity built all this for so long.

My Response: It was in order to define its mistakes.

Question: What will humanity come to?

Answer: To a peaceful, inner mutual balance. And in it, the connection between us will be revealed as complete and peaceful. In the stillness of these waters, we will come to the point that we will see through them the Creator.

In the Torah, this was formulated thousands of years ago: “It is preferable to sit and do nothing.”

Question: What does “do nothing” mean?

Answer: Do nothing! Do it so that from doing nothing, you have everything. You will see it is possible.

Question: So I will have food, something to feed the family with?

Answer: To the extent that it is necessary for you, you will work. But it will not be labor. It will simply be an occupation.

Question: It is not like I go to work suffering, hate it, and still go?

Answer: You will not be rushing around and suffering in traffic jams, none of that will happen.

Question: Will this thought penetrate? “What is enough is enough for me, and I do not need more.”

Answer: It will come gradually, but it will also come quickly.

Question: You often say that we should not confuse our work with the work of the Creator, not to take on His work. What does this mean?

Answer: Our work is directed toward feeling an acute lack for the Creator to carry out each next action upon us. And nothing more. After all, all spiritual work is the work of the Creator. It is even called “the work of the Creator.”

But does a person do nothing? He makes efforts in his desires so that the Creator (the light) would work on him.

If we are developing correctly and feel that we want to unite but are unable to do so by ourselves, then a third factor enters the picture—the Creator.

It is not just me and the group; He must be present within it. He must be the goal for me. He must become the performer of the action, and this is a sign of correct development.

By desiring to unite with the group, I thereby create a Kli within which He must dwell.

I am ready to give myself over to it, but what I currently lack is the understanding of the necessity for this to be for the sake of the Creator, so that the Creator will dwell within this connection.

The lack of this understanding comes from the fact that He is concealed.

But soon, from the suffering, from understanding the necessity, it will be revealed that He must be here. When these three factors: me, the group, and the Creator merge as one, it will happen.
