Strengthen the Connection with the Creator

276.02In other words, through reinforcement in Torah and work, he was rewarded with repentance from love, when sins became as merits (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 354, “Abraham Gave All that He Had”).

In order to strengthen in the Torah and in the work, each member of the ten, despite having multiple obstacles of all kinds, must try to break through them and connect with the Creator in such a way that all the obstacles further strengthen his connection with the Creator and attach him to Him.

And when sins become merits, you feel how the Creator’s attitude toward you changes, and you begin to understand that everything you previously evaluated as bad was actually for your benefit.

Question: What does it mean “to be rewarded with a response out of love”?

Answer: It is a state when a person asks the Creator to give him strength to relate to the Creator with love.

Tune in to Joy

278.01The true joy in spiritual work is the reward of faith above reason.

Is there joy in faith above reason? Of course, there is. The greatest joy is there because in this state a person is fully included in the Creator.

We should feel that we are pleasing the Creator in the ten. This should be our demand.

Question: How important is acting out joy when you do not feel it?

Answer: You need to tune in to joy and bestowal, and you will see how quickly this will advance you.

Feel the Greatness of the Creator

938.05Question: How does the Creator open a person’s eyes and heart to His greatness?

Answer: The Creator does this with the help of light, and then a person receives the corresponding sensation.

To live in the ten in the greatness of the Creator means that each of the friends and all together they think only about how to reveal His greatness and move forward under the influence of this sensation.

Incorporate in the Common Desire

942Question: How can we help each other in the ten to reveal the common deficiency (desire) through which we can come to know the Creator?

Answer: In the ten, we must be connected to one another through mutual bestowal, mutual support, and mutual connection so that whatever each of us receives is distributed among all members of the ten.

If we think this way, we will begin to feel the connection within the ten. And then anyone who receives even a little from the Creator, from their action, from their prayer, will distribute this among everyone.

Question: How can we help each individual in the ten incorporate in the common deficiency in order to bring contentment to the Creator?

Answer: When you feel the need to turn to the Creator, draw in as many desires, sensations, and connections between yourselves and your friends as possible, and turn to the Creator so that He can unite and fill you.

632.3Question: Is “faith above reason” always some kind of deficiency in the mind and feelings that I need to compensate for? Or is it preferable to remain in the sensation of the Creator despite opposing feelings?

Answer: If you feel that you have faith above reason and it fills you, then you have nothing more to worry about. You should focus only on how to thank the Creator.

Question: Can we consider failure as success, the meaning of which we will understand later?

Answer: No, we must still act, and in these actions feel the Creator’s attitude toward us.

Question: How can one maintain focus on building spiritual Hisaron (lack) in any state and patiently await joy from it within the ten?

Answer: This must be your constant effort. Then you will see what else can be derived from uniting with friends or what to request from the Creator or the group in order to always remain in the correct intention.

Question: How can one strengthen faith that the Creator is good and does good?

Answer: Strive to be like Him.

The Essence of the Spiritual Screen

232.05Question: We are trying to conceal our desire to receive in order to connect with our friends in the ten. How can we achieve revelation in our work with the help of the screen?

Answer: I want to receive the upper light on my egoism, which, by elevating me above the ego, will help me connect with my friends and, from our connection, turn to the Creator.

The essence of the screen is that with its help I work with my egoism and transform it into the quality of bestowal in order to connect with my friends and with the Creator. In response, the Creator gives us the strength to accomplish this.

963.4Question: We have love for the Creator. How can we put it into practice? How can we search for what each friend is lacking in order to understand how I can fulfill them?

Answer: Ask, demand. The Creator will explain to you. He will show you what needs to be done so that you can fulfill Him.

Question: What does a lack of spirituality in the ten mean? How can it be felt?

Answer: It means that the ten is not working on raising the greatness of spirituality within themselves.

Question: On one hand we want free choice, but on the other hand we come to “there is none else besides Him.” Should the prayer be the same in both states?

Answer: No, the prayer can be anything, any words, any feelings. It does not matter.

Question: When can we press the Creator more: during an ascent or in the feeling of a descent?

Answer: In the feeling of a descent.

Question: When you feel the suffering of the nations of the world, the only consolation and joy is that everything comes from the Creator. But this sounds somewhat egoistic since I know there is none else besides Him, while the nations of the world do not know this. How can I convey this feeling to them?

Answer: Convey it in any way possible: write articles, compose songs, sing. Do whatever you can to help them realize this.

How Can We Work with the Desire to Receive Correctly?

239Question: How can we work correctly with the desire to receive in order to fight the evil inclination in the best possible way?

Answer: We must pray and ask the Creator to give us a desire to receive that we can use for the sake of giving to Him. That is, everything that comes from the Creator, we accept, receive, and bless Him for what He has done for us.

Question: What should we do with the sadness that comes when one does not receive fulfillment for all his desires?

Answer: This means he is incorrectly connected with his friends and the Creator.

The correct connection is wanting to receive from the Creator only with the intention to bestowal. And the more he receives, the higher he raises his receiving Kli, and the more he gives.

From an Imaginary Reality to the True One

935The world has entered a state where it is beginning to destabilize itself because it needs to ascend to the next degree. Its highest degree is called “Adam” (man) since all of nature is divided into four levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human.

We are approaching 6,000 years, the end of human history. We think that the Earth is spinning and will continue to spin. No, the Earth will not spin forever, because the world is merely our perception of ourselves and our surroundings. In and of itself, it does not exist. Without us, there is no world. This entire reality exists in our imagination.

We must understand that the time has come for us to transition from this reality to its next level, the spiritual one. That is, we must move from a world that exists based on the methodology of connecting egoistic forces to a world that exists according to the methodology of the quality of bestowal.

This transition is achieved only through the connection of people when we strive to come closer to one another and ask the Creator to give us the force of unity. But we must feel the need for it; that is, we need to create such a negative potential within the group, such a need for this force, that the Creator is truly revealed between us, and the force of unity begins to govern us. Then, through us, as the head of the Partzuf, this force will flow to all other parts of humanity.
