Go Through All the Stages of Correction

934Question: Is there room for mistakes in each person’s spiritual work in the ten that could negatively affect others? Or are all mistakes also a part of correction?

Answer: They are a part of correction, but mistakes do happen.

Question: Can they affect the work of the entire ten?

Answer: Even more than just the ten.

Question: How can we avoid making mistakes?

Answer: You should be afraid of distancing yourself from your friends. The closer you are to each other, the fewer chances you have to make a mistake.

For every member of the ten to take their proper place, the ten must be ready to go through all the stages of correction. It is not that difficult. But the friends need to know this and be prepared for it.

The Temple Above Dust

935The person received an inheritance from his teachers not to let anything be built on this dust, except for the Temple (Rabash, Notes 804 “Raises the Poor from the Dust – 2”).

Dust is not soil, stone, or sand, but specifically, dust, meaning a part of the earth that is useless for anything.

When a person sees that they stand on dust, it indicates that there is no future, and they still do not have the foundation on which to build the Temple, a house of sanctity.

Question: To build the Temple, on our part, we need agreement with the Creator, patience, lowliness, and prayer. What does it mean to agree with the Creator?

Answer: It means agreeing that we are low in our desires and must unite with one another in prayer to the Creator to reach correction. That must be clearly understood both emotionally and intellectually. It is a good degree.

Through Internal Connection

938.03Question: At a convention, we will not always have the technical ability to be with our ten. It feels like we have to maintain an internal connection. How can we internally maintain this point of unity?

Answer: I do not think that we will always gather in the form we are doing today.

After all, you will not gather the ten that you will gather at the convention today every time, because next time others will come, and then others. Therefore we need to do something so that all this does not fall apart. I do not know how much it helps that we hold conventions. Maybe it does the opposite.

The thing is that people are used to working in their place, from their city, from their country. And here, everyone is mixing. Once upon a time, many years ago, this was good. And now we need to think carefully about what to do with conventions in the future.

Question: We are now virtually connected with our ten. What am I adding to the fact that now, while here, I want the friends in my ten to advance toward the Creator?

Answer: You transmit all this through your internal connection between hearts.

How Do We Hear the Creator in the Ten?

945Question: Has each of us who studies at Bnei Baruch in one way or another heard the Creator at least once? Can this be said?

Answer: No, we are only preparing to hear Him.

Question: How do we hear the Creator in the ten?

Answer: If you are united with each other in the ten, then the quality of hearing will manifest in you. In other words, no one will hear the Creator individually, only together.

Toward the Revelation of the Spiritual World

938.03Question: Is temple of ten people where the Creator resides the ultimate perfection?

Answer: This is a whole Kli. It cannot be said that it is perfection, but it is a whole Kli.

If you ask the Creator to unite you into one whole when you are striving to connect with each other, then He performs this action upon you, and then in the connection between you, you begin to feel spiritual forces.

This is what we must achieve in the process of our correction and unification.

Everything we do (study and other actions) are only needed in order to achieve complete unification among us, because in accordance with its quantity and quality, we will reveal the spiritual world in our unity.

When Someone Falls Behind in the Ten

530Question: If someone in the ten is unable to annul to the Creator, does this affect the ten?

Answer: It absolutely does. If someone in the ten is lagging behind everyone else, the whole ten should help him be with everyone. Alone, one cannot advance to the Creator, to the goal of creation. The main thing is that you want spirituality, this is fine, but only on the condition that you will give everything over to others.

Question: But there are those whom the Creator does not give the opportunity to invest. How can we balance it?

Answer: We must continue. And then you will gradually reveal the entire system you are in and see how to act best. You will learn on your own.

Raise Me from the Dust

236.01Question: It seems to me that there are states that are close to the truth, when dissatisfaction and anger arise because my friends do not care about my participation, my needs, or my efforts, to the point of despair, and I feel the group does not need me, that I only bring harm, and it would be better for me to leave and not get in the way. What counterarguments can I prepare in such states?

Answer: No counterarguments are necessary. You should say that you understand that you are the lowest and most worthless, but you still want the Creator to help you, and you want to rise toward connection with Him.

And the fact that you are low and worthless, unable to do or achieve anything, is something you know yourself. That is exactly what is meant by “Raise me from the dust.” It is the person who feels this way about their state that the Creator raises.

Question: While being in the lowest state, can I ask for love from my group? At the same time, I also want to love them even more than they love me.

Answer: That is how you are praying for them. This is a very good prayer when you ask for others and yourself as well.

The Level Required to Reach Spirituality

938.04Question: From time to time you feel you are not corrected; you feel unwilling to unite, but then you overcome it. Obviously, this is not enough, and there must be some level of a request for correction. What should this level be to reach spirituality?

Answer: This level is the awareness of the evil of egoism that is revealed in you, and you understand that you must hate it to such an extent that the main thing for you is to get rid of it. That is difficult work, and it takes a lot of time until a person achieves such an attitude toward his ego and nature.

Question: What should I direct my hatred at, my unwillingness to unite with friends or my desire to receive?

Answer: At all manifestations of egoism, i.e., receiving for your own sake. To reach such a state, you should always think about it and digest it until you feel that you hate your egoism and are ready to do anything to get rid of it.

If you talk about it in the ten, you will gradually begin to understand how you should treat your egoism, which is against the Creator, against all of creation, and against all of you together and every one of you. You must accumulate all the hatred for it together and wish to push it out of yourself. All this must manifest in your appeal to the Creator.

My Soul Is in the Ten

530Question: How can I feel that my soul is in the ten?

Answer: If I disconnect from the ten and feel that without it there is no air, that everything that was so important disappears, then my soul is in the ten.

The Connection Called the Temple

936The Temple is the revelation of the Creator that occurs within the prepared desires of a person that  they receive from the Creator.

These desires are capable of accommodating the Creator, and the person feels that the Creator fills them.

Question: How does a person in a state of lowliness and dust even suspect the existence of the Creator and know that they need to pray and build a Temple?

Answer: It is from the things he has already gone through. The Creator does not break off the connection with them. He simply shows the person where they are and at the same time gives them the opportunity to draw closer to Him from below upward.

Question: How can we help each other build the Temple in the ten?

Answer: Connect with each other and turn to the Creator so that He creates a connection between you that will be called the Temple and  fills it with His presence.
