How can we unite as one man if everyone is initially so different? There is not a single person who is absolutely similar to another. And the whole nature is arranged in such a way that each being has unique qualities that distinguish him from others and are even opposite to them.

Therefore, all our work is done above our qualities. We cannot correct them; we can only attract the upper force, the reforming light, so that it connects us.

And then we will be able to be together, and to the extent of our connection, we will again become one body, one desire, one intention, called Adam HaRishon, and so we will achieve the goal of creation.

We do not need to look at how different we are, but despite all the differences we need to look for how to unite into one vessel for the sake of one goal, one Creator. And then all the differences that originally existed in us, which we could not correct but could only rise and unite above, will benefit us and strengthen the force of our unity.

Therefore, at the upcoming convention, we need to try to unite and inspire each other in order to advance. The convention gives everyone a unique opportunity to be inspired by thousands of people and then bring these impressions to their tens, thus gaining power many times greater than what they had before the convention.

This is a special gift, a special power that can be obtained during the convention, and that is why we are gathering in it. Each of us has a very small, tiny force. But when we unite, our forces are incorporated into one another and form one huge force.

Therefore, do not miss this opportunity. All we need these days is to be impressed by each other, by how much a whole swarm of opposing, alien forces lives in everyone, but I want to accept this force and get involved in this connection.

In order to allow us to attain the essence of creation, its inner strength, which is the Creator, the creation first reveals its shattering to us. Then its elements begin to connect with each other: first atoms, molecules, simple organisms, then the male and female parts of creation.

In the end, the connection reaches not only the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels, but also the human level, that is, connection based on characters, views, mutual connection, and the birth of common offspring.

In this way, we develop more and more until we realize the need for an increasingly internal connection between us, and then we discover our oppositeness, mutual hatred, and rejection. The more these forces grow within us, the more we develop within the contrast of these opposites.

This contradiction lies within each of us, opposite desires and problems, because of this we want to unite but cannot do so. This is how we follow the path of our development, connect into different groups, nations, countries, parties, and all kinds of associations, and in this form reach our time divided into nationalities, states, and families.

But now the time has come to go through a very special stage of development and discover that we must rise above all our differences. That is, the unity should no longer be on a corporeal level, but on a spiritual one. This is the call of the times we find ourselves in; it requires us to rise above all contradictions.

Let us hope that we can understand this requirement and implement it so that we can ultimately reach one commonality as one man.

If we could see through nature, we would discover how much each part of nature is in opposition and separation from the rest of the parts.

The same thing happens between people; no one is like the other. But it is precisely due to the fact that we are so different that we can rush toward each other and find such a connection that will multiply our efforts.

The Creator purposely broke us at the very beginning of creation and thus gave us the opportunity to overcome this separation and feel our connection at the end of creation 620 times stronger than at its beginning.

Question: “Why am I doing this? Who obliges me?” We ask these questions at the beginning of the work, and then it becomes our habit. What is the difference between faith and habit?

Answer: Habit is a second nature, as if you received it from above and it is not in your power to go against habit.

Faith is something that you must constantly support and strengthen by devoting strength, patience, and training to this.

Question: How do we set our heart in order so it can unite with others? What helps us to tune in correctly?

Answer: Open your heart and do not close it to your friends in the group. Try to do it.

We are now on the eve of the congress. Try to prepare your heart to be open to other friends you will meet in person or virtually during the congress.

In this case, in your common connection, you will feel that even silence can be very powerful. After all, when you come closer together and connect, there is a contact of the hearts. We need nothing more.

Question: I stopped being an example for my ten. It was important for me to awaken the hearts of my friends, but my selfishness has dragged me very deep inside and nothing helps. How can I get out of this state?

Answer: You must set an example for everyone about how to get out of this state. And no matter how you feel, you just need to open yourself up and connect with everyone. That is all.

Previously, the Creator gave you strength; you were a beginner. But now you have become wiser, you have all sorts of reasoning, and therefore you must appeal to the Creator.

You need a connection with your friends so that you can help each other achieve a state where you all demand intervention from the Creator.

Question: What should we ask and demand from the Creator during our common prayer?

Answer: You must ask for only one thing: to rise above your egoistic heart to the request for mutual unification. After all, each of us is just a small particle.

If we unite, then we will have the power to demand, ask, and convince the Creator so that He will raise us spiritually so we will not remain broken, separated, and worthless.

We will have a grand convention, and many friends in the tens will be in different parts of our planet. It is very important that everyone not just arrive or come to the convention, but that each will bring all the force of their ten to pass to the connection of the convention. Each friend should be perceived as a representative of the ten and will also give strength to his ten.

Based on this, we will gather in a mass in quantity and quality in which the Creator will manifest.

If a person comes to the convention himself, he has one small force; he cannot annul his egoism. But if he comes with the strength of ten, he already annulled his egoism and comes to the convention ready to unite. It will be a huge force.

In the article “The Donkey Driver,” a sage named Elazar talks about the six days of the creation of the world: each day is a revelation of the special power of the Creator.

The power of the Creator comes from the first three higher Sefirot—Keter, Hochma, and Bina, and then develops inside a person in the six lower Sefirot—Hesed, Gevurah, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and in the final Sefira Malchut, which collects all the properties of the previous six Sefirot, and thus reveals the Creator within himself.

There are five levels of desires, which symbolize the five days of the creation of the world. The sixth day is Yesod, a collective action that mixes all the previous properties. The seventh day is already the filling of the corrected Kli with light; therefore, it is not customary to do work on Saturday, i.e., correction.

Question: The spiritual teacher is waiting for his student and preparing himself for him. Is this his life?

Answer: Yes, of course! Baal HaSulam writes this! The teacher prepares for the student to come, and he will pass on the method to him.

When I studied with Rabash, it was absolutely clear to me that I had to prepare to teach. I immediately began recording lessons on a tape recorder, drawing diagrams, and writing what Rabash told me when we were walking in the park. I began to systematize these materials and put them in order.

I knew for sure that I would have to take the method from him and pass it on. I had a clear feeling that I existed in order to receive it from him.

I did not know how many years I would stay next to him, because he was a 70-year-old man when I came to him, but I was sure that after all my ordeal in search for a teacher, I should receive the method precisely from him.

I just did not see anyone else, although I knew many people and was looking for a teacher. But Rabash, in spirit, in approach, in source, in character, in desire, and in readiness, was wholly directed toward spirituality. Therefore, I knew that I was receiving this media packet from him and would have to pass it on. He knew it too. Thus, his entire archive, his whole legacy, was passed to me.

After Rabash died, I immediately opened it to everyone. If someone else had it, he might have kept it and not given it away. Or he could give out one portion at a time for personal reasons, in order to feel that he has it, he is special.

No, I immediately gave all his students copies of the originals so that they could use them. After that, I felt calm; Rabash’s works were not lying inside my desk. I fulfilled my duty to my friends. I gave them everything.

Question: I feel like I am constantly working for a reward, but I understand that I just need to continue. How should I react correctly to such a state?

Answer: You need to be more integrated with the friends and then gradually it will be possible to move from corporeal work for a reward to spiritual work.

You can strengthen your intention to work for the Creator with all your might only through connection in the group. When the entire group unites with each other and is directed at the Creator, then we can already act. That is, we must connect all the previous pluses and minuses in ourselves and turn to the Creator.
