Question: What does uniting the ten in order to manage the creation mean?

Answer: The ten and the whole creation are the same thing. The ten is the same system but on a smaller scale. What we do in the ten impacts the whole creation to the same degree as the ten’s resemblance to it.

If we can somehow connect in the ten by resembling the laws of mutual bestowal that are in the general creation, we impact the whole world to the extent that we try to implement these laws on top of our egoism. Moreover, our impact is also very strong because we are small and weak beginners.

It seems that the more we grow, the more we will be able to impact everything. In fact, on one hand, we seemingly have a greater impact but, on the other hand, we have less of an impact. This is like the impact small kids have on the world. It is not great in power, but it is great in its impact.

This means that we pay much more attention to children than to adults. The world must be attentive to them and act for them since they are the central part of the world and its future.

So, by the power of the attribute of bestowal and its quality, we impact creation to a great extent qualitatively and very little by force. This will change later because we will speak about spiritual worlds and not about our egoistic world.

If we overcome the resistance of the egoism allotted to us according to the root of the soul to the fullest and reach connection in the ten, then the Creator can be revealed between us.

The opposition between light and darkness, separation and connection, reaches such a point that this contrast between egoism and holiness is sufficient to make darkness shine as light. The first light is revealed in us, the light of Nefesh, and we enter the path of light.

The tension between disconnection and the yearning to connect reaches such a magnitude that it makes the light turn on, like a light bulb that lights up on 220 volts. The intensity of our connection and our opposition becomes so great that darkness begins to shine as light. From the darkness, we invite and draw the Creator into our connection.

To the extent that I get used to appreciate the dark states in which I have no desire, no mind, no correct thoughts, and know that they connect us, I turn on the light in my dark soul, that is, I reveal the Creator more and more.

The Book of Zohar tells us how its authors, Rabbi Shimon’s students, gathered before the lessons and each time revealed a new depth of creation and described it in this book. Before they focused on the lesson, they felt such enormous hatred between them that they were ready to kill each other. This is how big their egoism was.

We have to learn how to rebuild the connections between us, at least with the same inclination, according to the same system. This means building another floor above us, “love will cover all crimes.” The crimes and the sins remain, and a connection is built above them between us. This is how we exist in two worlds at the same time: in our world and in the spiritual world.

By trying to focus ourselves on each other in the ten, we awaken and summon the gradual impact of the surrounding light unto us, and with its help we need to build a second floor in each ten. We need to demand this from the Creator, to do everything that depends on us on our level: to pray, to cry out, to ask Him, and then we will succeed. We will begin to feel that we ascend above everything that we know and above our reason, above the perception of the world, and that we begin to see it differently, synthetically, so that despite our first egoistic floor, we can see that everything is absolutely globally connected.

Then all the problems and differences disappear, and instead, they begin to complement each other, which is the spiritual system of connection. This is actually what we need to learn. We engage in it in the tens and in our study.

This is the goal of our study,  our lives in this world, as we return to the corporeal state again and again and restore and rebuild the connection between us that covers all the discrepancies and disagreements that will remain and grow between us more and more. This is how it works.

The difference between the world we live in and the spiritual world is the difference in the perception of the Creator.

The spiritual world is life in the sensation of an upper force, when a person feels that he is in a higher power, just as we are now in some kind of space filled with certain objects, obeying certain laws, etc.

The entire nature of the spiritual world is called the Creator.

A person who senses the upper world feels that he is at the mercy of its laws and is obligated to perceive them. In accordance with how he correlates with them, he gains management of the upper world, but the upper world still controls him.

In other words, the sense of spirituality is built on the correspondence of a person with the upper world. A person feels it to the extent of the perception of spiritual properties, forces, laws, and connections. He does not feel it until he gets it in his senses.

Like a child in our world feels his mother, his corner, his crib, and his toys, but everything else seems to not exist for him. So we are in relation to the upper world.

It is said: “Taste the Creator.” Taste is our closest feeling. See how children drag everything into their mouths, not distinguishing whether it is edible or not. They taste everything.

Therefore, eating in Kabbalah is the closest, most inner, most understandable sensation of any property or phenomenon. Basically, all of our five senses are involved, but most importantly, taste.

It all depends on the properties of a person, and it is constantly changing. As in our world, a person sometimes wants salty, sometimes bitter, sweet, sour, etc., but all this is in one taste bud. If we talk about sounds, colors, shapes, then there are still many different levels and possibilities of influence.

Similarly, in the spiritual world, we have five spiritual senses, and each of them has a very wide range of perception.

Advancement is only possible in the ten. I see everything through my egoism, and therefore, everything depends on how I correct it. That is why the Creator broke the common soul of Adam HaRishon into pieces so that I could work and get closer to my friends despite my egoism and correct my perception.

Friends will enter my heart, and I will see that behind each of them is the Creator. They appear before me as my corrected qualities, but I see them corrupted in my egoism. If I try to bring them right into my heart, I will correct myself.

I am the only one who needs to correct myself, my attitude to the ten, to the world, to the whole reality, and through it to the Creator.

The Creator gives me the friends and says: “Choose them, this is your good fate, through them you will reveal your soul.” And I must accept this fate and unite my friends together in my heart and mind. This will mean that I have chosen the good fate and attained a soul.

If I calibrate myself to be good to my friends and through them to the Creator, then I tune myself as a musical instrument, like guitar strings, achieve complete harmony in their sound. This is how I must calibrate myself to be in tune with the group and start playing on it as one common desire, one soul.

In this way, we will be able to put together our common prayer, like King David who wrote his Psalms combining in them the desires of all the people of Israel. We are talking about internal connection and not external actions. External actions only distract us and slow down our correction.

After the lesson, we go out into the wide world, and the whole world, all of humanity, the whole Kli of Adam HaRishon, enters between us, the ten friends. The world begins to flow inside the ten, between the friends with whom I have connected, and brings its thoughts and desires to us.

We must feel the desires of the world; otherwise, we will not be able to achieve general correction. We must understand that this is not politics, not economics, but that the huge desire of the common soul of Adam HaRishon enters between us and influences us so that we return to unity over these obstacles. Despite the added egoism, we connect again with even greater strength.

The impressions from the big world should not push us apart. We absorb from the world only those impressions with which we can then work to correct.

If we do not break the connection with each other, then the whole big world, which influences us during the day, will properly connect to us, and we will be able to correct it. And by correcting the world within ourselves, we cause its changes outside because a connection has already emerged between the internal and the external.

If the world cannot divide us and tear us apart from each other in the ten during the day, then we transmit our union to it and thereby correct the world. It gradually turns into a part of our spiritual Partzuf, its ending (Sof). We cannot yet actively work with it, but it is already becoming a useful part of the Partzuf.

So day by day, we absorb new desires from the world and transmit the power of unity to it. All humanity belongs to one Kli, one soul. By trying to unite in the ten, we thereby build the inner part of the spiritual vessel and the head (Toch and Rosh). And all other people who have not yet come to unity are the end of the Partzuf (Sof). Therefore, we must unite these desires.

We live in the time of general correction, and we must think about the whole world. Therefore, we are among people, in contrast to the Kabbalists of the past who lived in a cave as hermits, in small settlements. Kabbalists have always strived for solitude because there was still no requirement to work to correct the world.

But we live in a different time and whether we like it or not, we get impressions from the whole world. During the day, we absorb its desires and must process them. And when we then unite in the ten, we must take into account that our unification also includes the desires received from the world. And when we go back to the wide world, we influence it with corrected desires, and the world changes and moves toward the realization of correction and unification.

True spiritual sensation depends only on the extent of our closeness and connection in the ten. Only by the force of our connection do we come closer to the Creator and receive from this action a spiritual result, a feeling of spirituality.

The difference between the connection we had before and the connection that we achieve now gives a sense of spiritual advancement. Therefore, we should care only about this and focus only on this. If I did not advance to a stronger connection with my friends in the ten, I did not fulfill my duty in correction. In other words, I did not live in the spiritual world, but only in the corporeal world.

The difference between corporeality and spirituality is determined by what exactly I want to promote in my existence: either my current mind and feelings or our connection in order to rise to the spiritual mind and feelings, that is, to faith above reason.

We cannot ascend to spirituality at the expense of corporeality but only above it by faith above reason. We do not need to take anything from this world except disturbances that we turn into spiritual Kelim by rising above them. And if I cling to this world and break away from the group, then I did not have the right connection with my friends. After all, when I come to the group, I forget about this world for a while.

I need to constantly feel connected to the group and let the corporeal world invade my spiritual world, the group, only when I allow it. I should not fall under its power so that it absorbs me and controls me. I set priorities in such a way that spiritual development is more important than corporeal existence.

One needs to shift as many of one’s thoughts and desires as possible above the boundary in order to attribute them to the Creator, to cleave to the upper force. This can be done through the ten, which serves as a connecting adapter that helps me adhere to the Creator.

If we arrange the ten correctly, we will see the upper force through it, we will be able to grasp it and adjust ourselves more and more to it, that is, to fine-tune even more desires and more thoughts to our connection and thus get closer to the Creator.

Question: It is interesting that the law of mutual guarantee covers the whole world. Why is one nation not enough to achieve correction?

Answer: We are all part of the same system, and therefore, no one can escape from the law of mutual guarantee.

Question: Can I reach mutual guarantee in the ten or is it not enough?

Answer: Yes, you can reach mutual guarantee in the ten, but not an absolute one. Absolute mutual guarantee is achieved after all of humanity, being divided into tens, comes from tens, to hundreds, and so on, and turns into one single ten consisting of billions of individual tens.

Question: Do you see in the near future each country being divided into such tens?

Answer: How it will be, I do not know. I do not want to think ahead and let alone notify you about it. But I believe that the world is coming to this and will inevitably come to it.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that everyone should contribute to creating a critical mass in order to achieve social harmony. So, a huge number of people must do it?

Answer: Yes. Everyone will agree. We are moving toward it. Nature will force us either by the path of suffering or by the path of light.

If several friends in the ten are in ascent and others feel the heaviness and descent, it is like a spinning wheel: one part rises and the other falls, but the wheel moves forward. And if we raise a common prayer, then one part of it will consist of gratitude and the other part a plea.

One cannot exist without the other, just like two sides of the same coin. Therefore, it is good that we feel this way–it is a sign that our ten is complete, perfect, and contains both sides.

Even when we reach the end of correction, our desire to receive does not disappear, it does not change. Only the intention above it is corrected. If the desire to receive disappeared, the intention to bestow would also disappear and the creation itself would disappear.

Therefore, nothing is lost, we just need to change our intention, reach more and more connection and preserve all our qualities. From the depth of the desire and the screen with reflecting light, from these two opposite forces, a perfect Kli will be built.
