The only gift we expect from the Creator is the ability to reach bestowal Lishma. Maybe I don’t even know what this truly is because I have never experienced such qualities within myself. But I expect to receive this gift that I currently have no real understanding of.

Lishma is a gift that comes to me from the Creator, a gift that grants me the ability to bestow upon a friend or the Creator without expecting any compensation in return.

While I have not yet received this gift, I want to strengthen my connection with the Creator, i.e., to draw Him closer to me or conversely push myself closer to Him through prayer. I seek to establish a strong bond with Him, one that cannot be broken.

We were born to unite with the Creator, to receive delight from Him through this connection, to be filled by it, and ultimately to achieve similarity of qualities with the Creator.

First  I should try to connect with Him on the same wavelength that came to me as a result of His response. Once I feel that I have established this feedback loop with the Creator, I want to convey my most pressing desire to Him and embed my prayer within the thread that links us. I hope that in response the Creator will establish an unbreakable connection between us.

Thus, I continuously exchange messages with Him. I reach out to the Creator, and the Creator responds to me, and I am getting closer and closer to Him. I am constantly trying to understand what the Creator wants from me, how He wants us to unite with our friends so that through this unity we can turn to Him together.

Through this process we will discern what kind of relationship or wavelength evokes a response from Him, and in doing so, we will build our connection with the Creator.

I must exert effort to extend a thread from myself to the Creator and in turn to draw a thread from the Creator back to myself. When this reciprocal connection is established, I can be certain of a two-way bond.

The essence of the science of Kabbalah is precisely in establishing this mutual connection between a person and the Creator. This connection, known as Lishma, is a gift from the Creator.

Comment: Sometimes, a friend in the ten suggests some course of action. Everyone agrees, they carry it out, and the result is excellent. For example, someone proposes fixing the electrical system in the center, and they manage it perfectly.

Joint work is wonderful. However, there is a distinction between group tasks and interpersonal connections. Often, these areas overlap where group interaction becomes intertwined with work on dissemination.

My Response: There are countless small matters that cannot all be brought to a common denominator.

Each case needs to be addressed individually. What is essential is to always prioritize our inner aspiration to unite with one another to reveal the Creator within that unity.

Everything else are external actions on the level of our world. These may vary in effectiveness and significance, but they are secondary.

I would separate these aspects. There are situations where people cannot actively participate in dissemination. For example, some of my students live in Alaska, northern Canada, Patagonia, or New Zealand. Should they go outside to hand out our flyers? No one would even look at them, it is simply not done in those places. The primary focus is their internal connection, which fosters their spiritual advancement.

However, if there is even a minimal opportunity to engage in dissemination as part of the collective effort, one should immediately participate. Life, as part of the greater body, involves each “cell” connecting with the others and transmitting to them all it can.

Through this connection, the life-giving light, the light of life flows. Therefore, one should seek ways to connect with others and engage in dissemination, but only with the purpose of revealing the Creator’s light within us.

Question: In this lesson, you revealed something interesting for me: All the manifestations of the Creator that I observe externally, it turns out, are within me. You said that through myself, I can reveal the Creator to all creations. How can this be done?

Answer: By attaining the Creator, we unite in His desire to fill all creations. This fulfillment depends on our development. It turns out that the more we develop, connect with one another, and feel the inner force of creation, the more we attain what the Creator manifests within us.

Question: Can we, through our unity, accelerate the development of all of creation with the purpose of revealing the Creator?

Answer: Of course. In doing so, we not only accelerate, but also reveal creation in a different way. It is one thing when we are unwilling to advance creation through our development, and another when the Creator does not need to lead us through various problems. Instead, we ourselves wish to uncover, study, correct, and fulfill these problems.

Question: What happens in the universe when a person discovers the Creator in every element of creation?

Answer: If a person discovers the Creator in every element of creation, they thereby reveal the Creator. Gradually, for them, the Creator becomes the only manifesting force of all nature.

This is what a person is given to reveal. In this, they begin to feel the unity of all that exists within the Creator.

Question: You said that the feeling of the Creator comes to us after knowledge, attainment, and adhesion, and then we naturally reveal this force that is connected to us. What kind of work must we do to achieve this feeling?

Answer: We try to expand the boundaries of our perception so that they become filled with a greater feeling of the Creator. This is what we can achieve, and the Creator helps us in this process.

Question: How can one expand the boundaries of feeling the Creator?

Answer: Try. Just like in our world when you strive to understand, hear, or see something using all your senses, you gradually begin to perceive the manifestation of the Creator within yourself more broadly each time.

How can one come to a genuine prayer that arises from a true desire? It is said: “A person is where their thoughts are.” Therefore, one must begin by examining where their thoughts dwell: restricting oneself and one’s desires to a single point, and with that point, clinging to the Creator.

Then I will begin to sense the states passing within me, and in each of them I will return myself to a state of adhesion with the Creator. Even if I don’t know exactly how to achieve this restriction to a single point, I will try, like a child who wants to be an adult.

In this way, I begin to build my spiritual Partzuf and clarify the obstacles that the Creator constantly sends my way from all directions that frighten me, confuse me, and disturb my mind and heart. And every time, I return myself to the point of connection. Nothing more is required of me; through this, I am already creating my spiritual space.

If I nullify myself above all disturbances and once again cling to the Creator, then each disturbance in my mind and heart is corrected and incorporated into holiness. As a result, I will always remain in a true desire and a genuine prayer, constantly striving to return to unity while realizing that I cannot achieve it without the Creator’s help. I will continuously uncover challenges and make efforts to ask for unity with the Creator.

My initial point of unity must be genuine, one where I do not exist, but only my aspiration to cleave to the Creator does. Then I will begin to study the Creator, learn from His actions upon me to understand His attitude, character, and behavior, and to grasp what He wants to convey to me. Essentially this is what is called the science of Kabbalah.

Question: Where does the awakening from below come from?

Answer: The awakening from below comes from the Kli, from the same system that gradually awakens from its shattered state. That is why increasingly shattered states are revealed in us; they progress from minor to major so that we may correct them.

All the awakened states reveal our shattering to us, our separation from each other and the Creator. Above these states, we must create a connection between us, not by erasing or leveling them, but by building bridges of connection between us despite them. That is the essence of correction.

In this process, we will have the left line (states awakened from above), the right line (corrections awakened by us with the help of the upper light), and the middle line where these two lines merge and produce a common result, that is, our adhesion with the Creator.

Also, we were given the path of faith, which is above reason, namely not to take our sensations and reason into account, but say, as it is written, “They have eyes and see not. They have ears and hear not.” Rather, we should believe that the Creator is certainly the Overseer and He knows what is good for me and what is not good for me. Therefore, He wants me to feel my state as I do (Rabash, Article 3, ”The Meaning of Truth and Faith”).

Our feelings always come directly from the Creator. He wants me to feel and understand things in a specific way. Everything comes solely from Him.

And for myself, I do not care how I feel myself, good or bad, because I want to work in order to bestow, meaning to rise above my personal or, one might say, egoistic feelings.

Therefore, the main thing is that I need to work for the Creator, justify Him in everything, and reach a state where any condition I perceive as good.

And although I feel that there is no wholeness in my work, meaning I cannot completely justify Him or say that I perceive Him as “Good that does good,” nor can I say that He governs everything, as sometimes it seems to me that the earth is entirely handed over to the power of evil people, wicked thoughts, and forces, still, if I am drawn into the vessels of the upper one, attempting to enter the Creator’s qualities, then in the Kelim of the upper one, meaning from the perspective of the upper one, I am utterly complete.

In essence, the Creator sees us in a state of perfection, as He sees everything in existence. The intermediate states we are currently going through are regarded by Him as we regard a child who breaks something, gets dirty, or makes mistakes, they are growing pains.

As it is written, “The cast out will not be cast out from Him.” Hence, I am satisfied with my work—that I have the privilege of serving the King even at the lowest degree. That, too, I regard as a great privilege.

In other words, I do not measure the level I am on, whether it is greater or lesser, or whether I deserve more than I currently receive. My only desire is for the Creator to allow me to come closer to Him.

The reward, therefore, is not about attaining a level where I can see, understand, feel, or be fulfilled, but rather about being able to bestow, to fill others, and through them, bestow to the Creator.

Question: The state of connection with the Creator is a wonderful state. Can we share it with friends, and how can this affect our progress?

Answer: We can constantly move toward a greater revelation of the Creator. This is the main commandment, the main attainment of our existence.

When we do so, we will also strive to share our impressions that we start to attain from nature.

Question: You said that the Creator has to be revealed to all of creation through yourself. What does “through yourself” mean? How can this even be implemented?

Answer: Through love you connect with other creations, and what you reveal in the Creator, you want to pass through yourself to all creations.

This creates a connection between all creations through you. In this way you correct the entire creation, help the Creator, and become His partner.
