Maximum Unity

945We have to know that all the souls extend from the soul of Adam HaRishon, for after he sinned in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, his soul divided into 600,000 souls (Rabash, “What Is the Degree One Should Achieve in Order Not to Have to Reincarnate?”)

The single upper illumination was divided into 600,000 souls. These particles are in all people, in each person.

Question: We increase our small particles with the desire to unite, and each ten creates its own luminous block. We must ignite these sparks in the rest of the world by taking care of dissemination. Kabbalists already see this final part, is this why they have the strength to work without interruption until the end?

Answer: Generally speaking they do not have much strength. As the spiritual world is revealed to a person, he has less and less strength. He needs to make more efforts to unite the spiritual forces within himself and rise to the Creator.

Question: This is very noticeable before a convention. Egoism presses, we don’t want to care about our friends, we want to think less and to unite less. How can each of us imagine the final picture in which we are all united? What should we strive for?

Answer: Toward maximum connection with friends.

Question: Is it possible to awaken sparks of the Creator’s light in each person with our common prayer?

Answer: It is possible. With a common, united prayer, we can achieve complete correction, ascend to the world of infinity, and anything we wish.

Before a Convention

947Question: Before a convention, we set a goal in the ten to get as close as possible to each other and give each other the strength to feel the point of unity so that it would pull us forward. Will we have some other task at the convention? How can we properly prepare ourselves?

Answer: We are learning to unite with each other. Now we are taking the first steps. The biggest problem in the spiritual world is when people who are opposite to each other must meet and unite in such a way that the upper light of the Creator can be revealed in them.

Why is this necessary? We are egoists, and we were initially created that way. If we try to unite, we succeed in this only due to the resistance to our egoism. Therefore, all our work on ourselves consists only in overcoming the ego.

In this way, everyone puts their unification with others above everything else. This is our only task in the science of Kabbalah, which explains the structure of nature, the ten Sefirot, Partzufim, Olamot, the laws of unification, and the laws of commutation.

But all of these are purely external explanations. When we try to master these forces, we experience strong mutual rejection because egoism begins to awaken and does whatever it wants with us. And we can no longer quietly read about unification and rapprochement. This is the main thing in our world, at our level.

Therefore, we must try to unite in such a way that we can have a good impression of each other and gradually come closer to each other. This is what we must do.

Get Closer to Each Other as a Result of Annulment

938.02Question: How does annulment help us love our friends?

Answer: Annulment helps us get closer to a friend to the measure that we remove obstacles because the difficulty of annulment is an obstacle in itself. In this way, we draw closer to each other.

Question: What is the root cause of the problem with annulment?

Answer: The cause lies in the Creator who creates certain states between us that we need to eliminate from our interactions.

Movement in a Straight Line

41.01Question: How will progress take place if everyone in the ten annuls before each other both externally and internally?

Answer: Just as it is happening now. It descends from the Creator, reaches us, and clothes itself in our uncorrected, indirect desires; therefore, we constantly change and fluctuate.

However, if we aim clearly at strengthening our connection through the Creator, we will advance directly, without deviation or confusion.

Question: How do we move toward true nullification in actions and thoughts? How does this happen?

Answer: First comes the intention, and then the action. At the end of the action, we will feel how we realize our intentions.

How Can You Feel the Creator’s Answer?

557Question: What does it mean if you devote all your efforts to the Creator and constantly ask Him questions, but get no answers?

Answer: Either your desire is not genuine, not directed at giving, or you cannot understand His response.

Question: How can we feel the answer in the group? Or will it go through everyone separately?

Answer: You must feel it only in your common Kli, if only you will work with it. Therefore, in no case should you stand out, but on the contrary, you should unite with each other more and more tightly.

Promote the Property of Bestowal

528.01Question: Your teacher Rabash said that one can still attend a lesson without intention if he has already arrived. If we did not establish an intention of bestowal before the lesson or a meeting with the ten, where should we direct our thoughts?

Answer: At least part of the ten should be in the correct intention, and the others can connect to them. The most important thing is not to be passive. If I have even the slightest connection with the property of bestowal, I must promote or express it within the group.

Question: Can the greatness of the friends be a minimally sufficient intention for a group meeting?

Answer: Yes, you should strive for this. When you feel that through this, you are working for the sake of bestowal to your friends, you can hope this action will also lead to bestowal to the Creator. He will unite you all and bring correction.

The Soul Is the Intention to Bestow

608.02Question: The Creator gives the soul, which means intention. So does the quality of the intention define the soul?

Answer: The soul can only be formed when there is an intention to bestow. To the extent there is this intention, the upper light descends upon a person, shapes them, and creates them within the quality of bestowal. The intention to bestow is called the soul.

Question: How can we understand that we are coming closer to the soul? What are the correct indicators?

Answer: The indicators are the connection between you, and through it, the connection with the Creator. In this work, we only have two steps: to reach the quality of the connection between us in the ten and then to connect this ten with the Creator. That’s all. Nothing more is needed.

The Need of the Soul

544Question: What does it mean that through the ten I receive the mind, which is the true spiritual Kli?

Answer: It means that everything you receive comes from the Creator through your friends. You feel how it descends upon you and compels you to act. Therefore, something very interesting happens here, friends influence you with their thoughts and force you to perceive both the internal and external in spiritual work.

Question: What do my friends have that is not in me, and by finding it, I will be able to achieve correction?

Answer: There is a certain need in you to feel the common desire, the common aspiration of your ten toward connection with each other and with the Creator. This is the need of the soul.

Question: What does it mean to be the material of the Creator in the ten and how do we receive correctly from the ten in order to bestow?

Answer: For this you need to try to be together all the time in lessons and spiritual work, try to imagine, see, and feel how much you can unite by making efforts. In unification, you will be able to feel new opportunities, new desires, new intentions, and thus move forward.

When Is Prayer Born?

289Question: Is a prayer born when I make efforts with the right intention?

Answer: It all depends on the strength of our connection, on how much we strive for bestowal between ourselves and above ourselves so as to transform all our initially egoistic relationships into bestowal.

After all, we do not have the power of bestowal. We build it by rising above our egoism and beginning to reformat it into the ability to bestow. We make the Creator out of ourselves. This is what the Creator said: “You make Me.” We really create Him.

A prayer is born when I make efforts with the right intention, either when I cannot make efforts and understand that I am not able to make them or when I can make efforts, but I understand that they are wrong and at the same time I do not have any others.

A prayer can be for any reason; the main thing is that its final direction is to the Creator. Then it can be called a prayer.

How Much Do You Yearn to Bestow?

942Question: How can there be action in overcoming the attribute of reception without an intention? Why isn’t the intention primary?

Answer: We can perform actions under compulsion because we are forced or scared. However, intentions can only be changed if the light of the Creator descends upon us and corrects them from receiving to bestowing.

Question: At what stage in the group should we emphasize intention by checking to ensure that it is directed toward giving?

Answer: From the very beginning.

Question: How can I verify through the ten that I am correctly forming my intention and that I am fully immersed in it?

Answer: For this, you must be connected with one another and feel to what extent you want to help your friends, to bestow to them, to pray to the Creator for them. Then you will see how much you yearn to bestow.
