Choose Connection

232.08Question: If one friend lacks the force of bestowal and the second one lacks the force of reception, then how can they balance each other?

Answer: They need to work together. It does not matter what force prevails in whom: bestowal or reception. The main thing is that they are connected with each other and with the general group. Then they will see what they need to do to create such a field, i.e., a Kli for the revelation of the Creator.

Question: How can both forces be balanced in order to make a choice in the direction of light? It often happens that one force is greater than the other.

Answer: We must always choose the side of bestowal and connection. This is our main task, this is where we need to be.

284Question: After the Creator creates all the worlds (concealments), then in the very last, corporeal world, we do not feel Him at all. What does it mean that the Creator is not felt? What exactly do we not feel?

Answer: In the corporeal world we feel ourselves as small desires that want to enjoy the micro-dose of the light that fills them. This fraction of light is perceived as life in our body and nothing more.

And then, when we become acquainted with our potential through the science of Kabbalah, we are given a chance to gradually develop our desires and raise ourselves above them. This is called achieving the quality of bestowal through love of others.

Thus, all our desires become more and more similar to the Creator, and in this state we can begin to understand Him, feel Him, and draw closer to Him. By becoming similar to Him, we can see the entire universe and all the worlds.

Advance in Joy

527.03Question: In our ten, some friends believe that we can advance only through suffering and pain, but there are also other opinions. Which is more correct?

Answer: Do not think that progress should be in suffering and pain. If you do, you say that the Creator has created this way for us. But this is not so. He wants us to advance in joy.

Question: But it does not always work out that way. What is the mistake and what should I pay attention to?

Answer: The mistake is that you do not attach sufficient importance to coming closer to the Creator.

Therefore, while doing spiritual work you are in a bad mood, regretful, and so on.

Question: Are these feelings also given by the Creator?

Answer: No, do not confuse yourself. Do not think about whether it is given by Him or not. The main thing is what you feel.

How Can We Perceive the Depth of the Studied Material?

294.4Question: I understand that you give us a lot and try to move us forward by answering questions from a great spiritual height. But I cannot feel and absorb all this depth. What should I do in this case?

Answer: Move forward no matter what. Do not invent some answers for yourself and do not change the path. Just move on: one more lesson, and one more, and another one. You will see how all these lessons are suddenly revealed on a new level, although it seems to you that you did not understand them and were present at them in vain.

Question: There is no feeling that I was present in vain. It just feels like you are giving more than I am capable of taking in.

Answer: This will also enter and be absorbed within you. You will see, everything will be fine.

Spiritual Connection

938.03Each time, he sees more of the truth: He is immersed in self-love and does not see any possibility in the horizon that can bring him out of this. (“What Is ‘According to the Sorrow, So Is the Reward’?“, RABASH).

Question: Can we say the same about a group in which people are used to each other, it seems to them that they are connected, love each other, and feel good together? I have a feeling that this closes everyone’s eyes, they do not progress, and they have no push to go further.

Does the article talk about this kind of egoistic connection?

Answer: Maybe about this and maybe not. Do not worry about it.

There can be a non-egoistic connection only with respect to the friends and the Creator and only if a person is working on it.

Question: Does it mean that it is the light that gives us the opportunity to advance and to see how to go even further?

Answer: Yes, it is the upper light, the upper force, that allows us to feel what relationships above our egoism mean.

Question: If people do not feel rejection and hatred and are in a positive way all the time, can this be a spiritual connection?

Answer: I think not because spiritual connection is built above egoistic connection. That is, they must rise above their egoism and begin to create connections that will not depend on their ego. This is a completely new kind of connection.

The Creator Knows Best What to Give to Everyone

938.03Question: I am experiencing an uncertain state. On one hand, there is a great regret that no matter how hard I try, I cannot come closer to the friends. On the other hand, I am afraid that the Creator will fulfill my desire and give me the quality of bestowal, which is not very attractive to me. What should I do in this state?

Answer: You should stop making calculations and just hold on tight to your friends; pull them to yourself and you to them, and only in this movement will you find the Creator. He is between you.

Question: If the work itself is a reward, then we should ask the Creator for as much work as possible, the more, the better. At the same time, should everyone ask for themselves or for the ten and the entire world group?

Answer: For everyone. The Creator knows best what to give to everyone. Do not worry; everything is prepared in advance until the complete correction.

Addressing the Creator through the Group

528.02Question: Sometimes I am in a state where death is better than such a life. The Creator as if highlights the evil within me. I feel very scared by the thoughts that appear. How can I work with this?

Answer: You have a group. Through it, you must turn to the Creator and also through it receive the light from Him. Receiving through a group is much more difficult, but you can bestow only through it.

Question: What does it mean to receive from the Creator through the group?

Answer: In principle, the Creator is a single upper force. He fills the Kli that He created, and it is a great desire to receive. We are parts of this desire and receive from Him. This is how we connect to Him.

What to Regret?

963.4Question: What does the expression “according to suffering so is the reward” mean?

Answer: When a person regrets that he cannot yet be on the same level as the Creator, as the Creator gives to him, so he would give to the Creator. As it is said: “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.” If he cannot do it yet, then he is sorry.

Question: How can we awaken this regret in the group?

Answer: To do this, you simply show each other an example. Then the friends will quickly grab it, they will want to imitate those lucky ones who are successful in it. And you will all move forward together.

Question: Should I regret why I am not as giving as my friends?

Answer: Yes, that as well.

Question: What reward will come for this suffering? The ability to also bestow?

Answer: You will move forward on the path to the Creator.

The Key to Spiritual Sensations

624.06Question: There are moments when the Creator, through Rabash’s article, gives out a key that opens clarification in the form of sensations inside the heart. How not to lose it? How can we work onward from these feelings?

Answer: One should not be afraid of losing them. And when it is necessary, you will find this key again.

Question: Does the Creator take these feelings from a person, or does a person lose them for some reason?

Answer: This feeling is in a person, he should not be afraid of losing it. The main thing is to get closer. The key is between us, and when we search for the Creator together, we find Him.

A Feeling that Cannot Be Described

239Question: When you touch objects, do you get additional information directly from the contact? You said that when you enter the sea you receive information.

Answer: This is not information, these are sensations. These are feelings that cannot be described. They are not even related to Kabbalah.

Suppose a person living in the forest feels that something is happening there. I have met such people. They are completely different. They also talk about nature in a completely different way.

Question: Does this mean that the physical perception of some phenomena never helps you?

Answer: No, I try not to be in physical perception at all. What for? I exist in it because I have to live, teach, and explain. I have a mission. Actually every person has it. I seem to have found my mission, and I am trying to realize it.

On the other hand, a Kabbalist is limited by certain borders. He does not hang out with people at various gatherings and participate with them in all kinds of events. He does not care and does not need it. Why should I explore anything in this world when the whole point is to raise it higher?

And there is no one to talk about what I am researching except for the specialists who are next to me who also strive for this, that is, my students. When I give a lesson, explain, and they ask, these are the best hours of my life. We get included in the general system together, we climb some steps together, and I raise them.

By asking a question, they push me to new explanations and new research. And the solution comes at this very moment. All this is a wonderful symphony, the harmony of feelings, desires, thoughts, analysis, and synthesis of the entire universe!

Besides that, what else is there? What exists in our world is just an automatically operated machine. Therefore, it makes no sense to solve anything in it.
