Question: Suppose I understand that the Creator is putting me through different trials. This is felt as pleasure in the group, which means that I see that I had to undergo the trial in order to feel the power of the connection between us.

Do I simply enjoy this afterward or can I do something else for the sake of the society, for the sake of our correction?

Answer: I have never learned in the wisdom of Kabbalah about a state in which I enjoy for my own sake and by that bring the society pleasure. There is no such thing.

Do you want to positively bestow unto the society this way so that it will also connect to the Creator and enjoy Him? If this is what you think and if this is the only thought that manages you and not your personal feelings, you are on the right track.

Purim comes from the word “Pur” (fate or lot.)

That is, the lot is cast as if determining who will lead humanity to a good, absolute, final, and mandatory state. Or humanity will do it itself consciously, and then its path will be short, comfortable, and suitable for advanced humanity. Or it will be a path of terrible blows inflicted by the force of nature, terrible states and wars.

Either we attract the good force and it develops us or the evil force automatically acts in nature, as it is written: “I have created the evil inclination; I have created the Torah as a spice”; it constantly pushes us and still carries us forward.

Question: During the lesson, do we first need to internally connect to the teacher or to the ten, or does it have to happen simultaneously?

Answer: You need to connect to the ten so that you and the ten are one whole, and then you can listen to the teacher and implement in the ten what he says.

The ten is the main thing, but in order to know what to do in the ten, we need a teacher.

The place for the revelation of the Creator in our time, in our generation called the last generation, appears only in mutual guarantee (Arvut). Mutual guarantee is our spiritual vessel. The revelation of the Creator, the entry into the upper world, our entire spiritual existence is implemented only within mutual guarantee.

There is a special force in mutual guarantee. By coming out of myself and being included in the friends, I reveal my soul. It does not exist inside me, and therefore, the upper light cannot enter and correct me. It can only help me integrate with the friends and find the Creator there. That is, my soul is in the friends.

In fact, this is obvious if you look at the spiritual structure. If I am Malchut in the spiritual vessel of the ten Sefirot, then my friends are the nine upper Sefirot. It turns out that when I incorporate with them, I receive the qualities of bestowal from them. It is in this form that I complete my spiritual vessel that was in the friends, and through mutual guarantee each of us helps the other to acquire the qualities of bestowal and be ready for the revelation of the Creator.

Therefore, without implementing mutual guarantee, we will not be able to take a single step on the spiritual path. Only by incorporating with each other, getting closer to each other, connecting and helping each other, do we attract the reforming light and invite the Creator to be revealed in us. This desire alone, to internally connect with each other, is sufficient to raise us from corporality to spirituality.

It is impossible to draw the reforming light alone; I have nowhere to draw it into. I must be incorporated in my friends and then I can draw the light inside this incorporation so that the reforming light would return it to its source. In this way, we receive the spiritual vessel and begin to enter the upper world.

The mutual guarantee is a very deep concept. All spiritual laws proceed from carrying out mutual guarantee. Everything written and said by the Kabbalists comes from what they have attained within mutual guarantee. All of reality is divided in two: outside of the mutual guarantee is corporeality and inside the mutual guarantee is spirituality.

In fact, mutual guarantee is the only thing we need because it is the only action that brings the broken vessel of Adam HaRishon back to correction. Through our yearning to return this desire to connection and unity above egoism and all the disturbances, and through the request to the Creator to help us in this, we reach correction.

We must make sure that the friends reveal the true spiritual deficiency and that the ten connects in both good and bad states. Everyone should feel that they have friends who are ready to do anything for them.

The mutual guarantee is like a flower that needs our constant care in order to grow. After all, this is the very vessel in which the Creator will be revealed, our desires that have reached the correct connection grew and are now revealed because of our common screen. The inner force that holds our desires together and directs them correctly is called mutual guarantee.

Question: You said that everything is inside me and to change something in the outside world, I need to change something within myself. What does it mean to “change within myself”? Should I change myself or my attitude toward others? After all, I am not alone here.

Answer: Yet, the desires are yours and you can change them either in relation to yourself or in relation to the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and people, and all of them in relation to the Creator. That is, you choose what kind of desire you want to use and to what you want to relate.

If you want to use all your desires with the correct intention, with a good attitude to everyone, starting with the inanimate world, with ecology, with what we today call inanimate, vegetative, and animate, and then even more so, to people, then you are changing the world.

According to your desires, you begin to pay attention to general nature. You feel in it its great force, the Creator, and ask Him to begin to change His attitude to the world at your request, at your will. In this way, you can observe how the world really changes.

Question: The Land of Israel corresponds to a desire on the inanimate level and there is also a desire on the human level. Should one clearly overlap with the other?

Answer: Ideally, yes. And so it will be in the future. Intention overlaps desire, forms it, and the desire thus becomes equivalent to a certain part of the earth. This generates a need in a person to change his place of residence or some other change.

Question: When a person is engaged in spiritual development, does he discover this map of Israel with all the places within himself? Is this how it happens?

Answer: It depends on the type of soul and it is not felt by every person. But in general, people will feel where they belong in the universe, where their spiritual root is.

Question: In our world, there are people who have knowledge more or less, and there are people who know nothing at all. Is it the same in spirituality?

Answer: Yes, the time will come when we will begin to feel it and find that we must act according to spiritual characteristics.

Comment: The books of Kabbalah are written very cleverly; many times they use the concept “I and the Creator.”

My Response: The concept “I and the Creator” refers to the influence a person has on his connection with other people and through them to the Creator.

This is a collective “I.” By nature, a person is an absolute egoist; “egoism” is an absolutely negative force. If a person influences the Creator individually, it will only be due to egoism.

But if a person begins to influence the Creator not from the “I” but from the “we,” this is already a positive force. In this situation, we will certainly get positive characteristics and actions from Him.

Question: Who are “we” according to the wisdom of Kabbalah, if the whole world and all people are fragments of the feelings within my “I”?

Answer: If a person will unite all of these fragments within himself, this will be “we.”

Question: In my understanding, when the “I” turns to the Creator, this is the monologue of an imprisoned prisoner. But when “we” turn to the Creator, this is already a dialogue of the soul with the Creator. Under what conditions does the “I” become “we”?

Answer: It is on condition that you nullify yourself before others.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes in the newspaper The Nation, published in 1940, that we, people, are always in a state of development just like the planet Earth, which went through the constant struggle between two forces—positive and negative.

What should we come to? To what perfection? As far as I understand, the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature is already in perfection, and the human has not yet reached it.

Answer: Yes, the inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature by itself is perfect. However, due to the fact that the human is not perfect, he affects it and radiates his bad properties. Therefore, all nature suffers.

That is why he must come to a state when he needs to become Man. “Man” is “Adam” in Hebrew. Adam, from the word “similar,” “Edomeh” leElyon—similar to the Creator. This is what we should be, that is, be in bestowal and love between us. Then, naturally, having become different, we will feel the world in which we live as a different world.

If we want to make our desire similar to the Creator, then we evaluate everything only according to one principle: everything that is for our own sake we hate and everything that is for the sake of bestowal we love.

Only in this light do we see the whole reality and not different colors and sounds. We do not care if they are pleasant or unpleasant, but what matters is whether it is bestowal or reception.

If it is bestowal, then it is loved and attractive, and if it is reception, then it is hated and repulsive. And only in this form will I move from the screen on which I see this world to the screen of the upper world and begin to see reality in its true, correct form.

I am very happy with the beginning of the congress From Ten to One because this is really the only thing left for us: to rise to the first spiritual degree. All spiritual degrees are based on the fact that from ten we come to one, and again from ten to one at a higher degree. This is the ascent from degree to degree.

Spiritual ascent is based on connection between people, which is the correction and reconstruction of the broken spiritual vessel, the correct connection in our common soul, Adam HaRishon. The Creator created this soul and then broke it; He gave it to us to restore it so that it would become one again: from ten to one or from many tens to one until we return to one whole.

Let us hope that we will be awarded with achieving such a high development when we begin to feel this unity between us, which is called “One.” And in it, we will feel the Creator, the single force that created the whole basis for us as a Kli, giving our desire the same qualities as its filling, the Creator.

According to our preparation, we are very close to such a revelation, and we have no other goal, only this. After all, we see how much the whole world will need it if not today, then tomorrow. And we will need to show them the way.

We are the pioneers of the process of correction, so let’s go one step further. I hope that this step will already be a practical revelation of the Creator within our connection, according to the equivalence of our properties. As the Creator is a giver, so we in our mutual relationship to each other will achieve a complete bestowal within which, according to the law of equivalence of form, the Creator will be able to reveal Himself.
