These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the (houses of) the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the Lord, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And they made an end of dividing the land. (Joshua 19:51)

The common desire that the Creator created and attracts to Himself so that it can attain Him should work the same way as the Creator, on the quality of bestowal and love, and must act the same way as we do in the group. When we unite in a group we can understand how we relate to the Creator with the help of our common desire, intention, practice, and experience.

It turns out that without realizing this connection, we will not be able to turn to the Creator. We won’t even know what to address and how to address it. Therefore each tribe must work on its part in order to gather and turn to the Creator precisely from its common collective desire. And then they will all unite together into a common nation.

A person should sort out all his desires and build them in such a way that he starts with small desires, and then with their help moves to all the big ones so that they are directed to the connection between him and others. And then based on this state, from these actions, from this experience, he can already understand how to turn to the Creator.

Question: What does “small desires” mean?

Answer: These are minor egoistic desires that I can handle. And there are those with which I am not able to work yet and I know that I cannot. But it is precisely because I work with small desires that I get closer to big ones.

We must understand that corporeal life will depend every day more and more on our spiritual state. We see how humanity is plunging day by day into ever greater global problems and into ever greater misunderstanding, confusion, and uncertainty about the future.

The Creator wants to make us feel that we are dependent on forces unknown to us. All the systems of this world that we have built to gain greater strength, security, and confidence in life are being destroyed. Day by day, a person will feel less and less confident and he will not know how to build the future or what tomorrow brings.

This lack of security will break people because it will be impossible to make any plans either for today or for tomorrow. It will be impossible to know what to do and how to live. Humanity will lose all hope and prospects for the future and will feel like a lost child who stands and cries not knowing where to go, where his parents have disappeared.

There is another problem here, having lost its support in life, egoism grabs at straws and starts looking for the guilty one. If I find who is to blame for everything, then I will have a goal and a landmark that will not let me hang in the air between heaven and earth.

And this is a very dangerous turn to confrontation. Therefore, it is necessary to show humanity that there is no choice, and that the solution can be reached only through connection.

If we fulfill the conditions given to us by the Creator who is not allowing us to meet physically but only virtually and come closer to each other in our hearts, then we will advance even more toward each other and together we will advance closer to the goal, that is, to the system of Adam HaRishon. In this way, we will restore this system of the common soul, and the Creator, the Shechina, will reside among us. This is how we will reach correction.

There is no one else besides the upper force, and therefore everyone deals only with the Creator, but only through the friends. Otherwise, we have no connection with the upper force since the contact with it is possible only to the extent that my connection with the friends is strong and qualitative, and then through them, I will reveal the Creator.

From the love of friends, we come to the love of the Creator, so it is necessary to direct all our thoughts, desires, and actions to it. The more complex, qualitative, and strong the connection we achieve, the more we will discover the Creator within it and be able to adhere to Him.

Our entire work is to clear the area between us of all foreign thoughts and confusions and always aim at the true connection, above all the claims of egoism and disturbances. All obstacles we should see as help guiding us to the correct connection.

By clearing the area between us from all foreign thoughts, we begin to feel the Creator in it. It is necessary to focus all our mind and heart on this work because we are already at the beginning of impregnation, and what is left for us is only to expand our connection and strengthen it in order to see the spiritual embryo, that is, the soul of Adam HaRishon, which is beginning to resurrect from the shattering.

The embryo has both receiving and bestowing desires, and we gradually begin to scrutinize them, scrutinizing what we can use in order to connect with the group. Our task is to gather all the forces and desires that contribute to our connection and use them to build the head and body of the spiritual Partzuf. The rest of the desires we put aside for now, they will later be included in the end of the Partzuf.

Therefore, I sort my thoughts and desires, choose those that allow me to connect with the friends in the group, and this is how I advance. This means that inside the shapeless drop of semen the division to the head, body, and the end of the future Partzuf of the soul begins.

All this we need to do regarding the connection with the group. Whatever contributes to the connection with the group, I choose and keep; I work with these desires. And those desires that I cannot work with yet, I move to the end and leave for later.

In this way, from lighter to heavier, we begin to scrutinize our states. This means that a drop of semen from the general force of bestowal has begun to develop in us. A spiritual embryo, which was formed from all our correct forces, through our common concern and prayer, began to develop within mother, within Bina.

Baal HaSulam, “The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah”: And here there is a conduct of general and particular: General—the whole of humanity, obligated to eventually come to this immense development, as it is written, “For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as water covers the sea”

The general law of nature is summed up by this; all of us are obligated now or in one of our next reincarnations to reveal the Creator, to attain Him, to unite and fully merge with Him.

This is the general law of nature and there is not a single small element in nature on the levels of the still, vegetative, animate, and human that will not advance toward this goal either unconsciously, instinctively, or consciously, like the Kabbalists.

Particular—that even before the perfection of the whole of humanity, this rule is implemented in a chosen few individuals in every generation.

No one should doubt that we will attain the highest level of development, the Creator. The attainment of this goal by everyone in our generation depends on us. This is the law of the general and particular.

Question: How is revelation of the Creator inevitable among the creatures if we talk about the existence of freedom of choice?

Answer: It is specifically freedom of choice that brings the creature to inevitably reveal the Creator. By using it correctly, a person begins to understand that his freedom lies in reaching the level of the Creator. Then he will be absolutely free. That is the entire paradox.

Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World”: Once we know full well the desired attribute of goodness, we should examine the things and the means at our disposal in order to hasten that delight and happiness.

Question: What is goodness in its true form?

Answer: Absolute goodness is absolute connection between people in which the Creator is revealed.

When this happens, we stop feeling our world as it exists in our egoistic, separated from each other states, and we start to feel the general interaction, which is already depicted to us as the upper world.

The upper force, the Creator, fills this network of forces between us and gives us a feeling of eternal, perfect life.

I cannot increase my desire, but only add the desires of others to it. This will be called the growth of desire when I learn from one, another, then a third.

All the growth of the desire is because we are going back to the one soul—Adam HaRishon (The first man). The more we attach the parts that broke as a result of the shattering, the sin of the tree of knowledge, the greater the desire becomes. If this desire includes ten parts, then we become as one.

We do not simply merge into one, but remain separate parts united by one force that surrounds us in an embrace and brings us together. Ten are united by one intention, one common goal, and each annuls oneself for the sake of connecting with the others.

Within them, the power of self-annulment, which is called restriction, screen, and reflected light, and their common desire to bestow to the Creator begins to work.

Then a sense of the upper force is manifested within these ten because they have created conditions for the revelation of the Creator among them. The Creator does not come to them from somewhere outside, but is generated from within the forces of connection on top of the forces of rejection.

Life flows from the inside to the outside. Following this thought, you will become truth yourself. (Folk wisdom)

This is correct. It is necessary to perceive yourself and the world around you correctly, so that you would attain such a contact with it, in unison, that what is right and beautiful in this life would become your ideal.

Question: Is this what is called seeing it from the inside?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is the yearning to study the wisdom of Kabbalah natural, innate?

Answer: The yearning for the wisdom of Kabbalah appears in a person according to his current life and whether he feels a desire to reveal the Creator in this life.

If his soul has already attained this state, he feels the need for it and reaches the study of the wisdom of Kabbalah. But if his soul is not developed enough yet, then he surely lives his current life in peace, but will reach this level gradually either in this life or in the next life. So there is nothing that can stop any of us here.

However if a person has such an opportunity, he has to seize it. This is how we can hasten our reincarnations and attain the perfect state faster and not waste our time here in this life, which is the lowest level of our existence.

Question: So does this mean that this point is innate?

Answer: Everyone has this point, and the only question is: When is it turned on?

The world where we live was formed by the successive descent of the upper world, which, gradually reduced itself and reached the very last point called “our world.” And this is the best state for spiritual ascent.

As we rise, we do not forget this state, but we begin to comprehend it in a new way, to feel it, to approve it, to justify it. We see that it is thanks to this very lowest world, remote from perfection, that we can appreciate the perfection we are ascending to.

At the same time, we expand and open the spiritual world more and more and begin to understand that our state was forced, specially created for us, not as a punishment, but absolutely opposite to perfection. And on the difference between the two worlds, we can realize how perfect the upper world is.

Therefore, if a person begins to treat our world correctly as a point of ascent, he no longer curses Him, knows how to use it, appreciates and values ​​it. This world is a really good start for us.

Question: Does this happen only at the level of perception, not sensation?

Answer: It depends on how you understand it. For example, if I get sick, the doctor gives me an injection. It hurts me, it’s unpleasant, but I take it with gratitude and pay him for the service because I know that it will give a good result. Therefore, the doctor, as a mediator, is justified, desirable in my eyes.

So, you just need to open your eyes to see the final result. This is what Kabbalah gives us. And then this whole world becomes necessary, desired, and correct; you know how to use it to achieve perfection based on the opposite state.

Question: In this regard, do we want to somehow improve our world?

Answer: No. We only need to raise ourselves. There is nothing to transform the world. We are constantly trying to improve it, but it only gets worse because we have to change ourselves, not the world.

The higher we rise to the purpose of creation, the greater and more aggressive the egoism that is revealed to us becomes. As it is written: “Anyone who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater.” We correct this egoistic desire and that is how we rise.

The only way we can rise is by climbing the mountain of broken desires that we inherited from the transgression of the tree of knowledge, that is, from the shattering of the system of Adam HaRishon. The Creator deliberately broke this system to give us a place for work and correction.

If the descent does not end but only intensifies, then I have not corrected it enough. I need to be incorporated in the ten even more with that descent and try by incorporating in everyone to turn this descent into an ascent.

This is how we advance: a descent, then an ascent to the same height, then an even deeper fall, an even higher rise until we come to the deepest fall and then rise to the maximum height, to the state of final correction.

This is why we need to strengthen ourselves more and more in the group in order to be able to climb the degrees of the ascent and remain in descents as little as possible.

If I did everything possible but still cannot get out of the state of descent, it means that the Creator is showing me that a prayer is missing here.

There are two conditions for ascent:
1. Connection in the group;
2. Help from above.

In order to get help from above, I need to raise a prayer from the descent, MAN, and receive help from above, MAD. Then I will have the strength to ascend.

All this I need to implement in the group. If a person is not in a group and cannot raise MAN together with his friends, then he will not receive help from above, MAD, and will not be able to rise. Then he just goes off this trajectory and returns to the old state. He does not ascend to a higher degree without connection in the group.

Therefore, he remains in his egoism and weighs everything inside it, cursing the teacher, the group, and the Creator. He could make a correct calculation to understand why this is happening to him, that he needs to work on this egoism every day.

We need a special elevator for the ascent: connection in the group and a request to the Creator. I enter the elevator, that is, I enter the group, I turn to the Creator, and He elevates not only me but all of us together.

Kabbalah explains the laws of nature to us. Whether we agree with them or not, they cannot be changed. If you want to advance, then study them and keep them. If we do not learn the laws of nature and keep them, then nothing will help. The Creator will not change anything in them. We will not be able to soften Him and beg Him to change the laws of nature. This has never happened and will never happen. After all, the Creator Himself is nature.
