The Beginning of Spiritual Work

528.01Question: If there are friends in the ten who are not ready to be in mutual guarantee, then is there perhaps the need to divide the ten?

Answer: This is an extreme case. What can you expect from a person who is just beginning to study? Like at school, in the first years the child does not understand where he is at all.

A person repeats, learns, and connects with friends, but only when he really begins to enter into the system of mutual guarantee, is it considered the beginning of his spiritual work. There is no need to count either by years or by some degrees, you just need to continue.

One Common Heart Directed to the Creator

935Question: You said we should check if our prayers are directed at the Creator. What is this check when we compose the prayer of the ten?

Answer: We must constantly check whether we are directed from heart to heart and whether all our hearts are together into one big heart that is directed to the Creator. That is our work.

We must try to imagine this in a group, in any of our connections, and from this unity, aim to the Creator.

Then, when we begin to feel the Creator within our connection, we will already feel Him and begin a different work—the spiritual one. Therefore, with the help of the problems that He causes in us, He tries to raise us to the next level and direct us to Him.

Urgent Need

528.03Question: What does it mean to connect the ten in a group?

Answer: This means that ten friends connect together in order to rise above their egoism in mutual assistance to each other. Absolutely all the friends should feel this.

In principle, all people in the world will gradually come to this either in a good way or not. But in the end, this need will be revealed to everyone.

Like In a Magnifying Glass

245.10Question: Is it correct to look at what is happening in the world and at the latest conflict currently taking place in Israel as if the Creator has increased the resolution like with a microscope and is showing me my attitude to the ten?

Answer: Yes. Each time the Creator increases the resolution, and thus we see past problems on an enlarged scale.

Question: What is colliding with what in my attitude to the ten?

Answer: There is a collision of your personal egoism with the force of bestowal and connection that is in the ten. These are the two forces that contradict each other.

If a Friend Distanced Himself from the Ten

624.02Question: If a friend has distanced himself from the ten, what efforts can we make to awaken his heart?

Answer: Just pray. At the same time, you must show that you are connected with each other and helping each other so that he sees the ten in a state of correction.

We need to continue to pray for all those who have left us because ultimately they must come back and correct themselves.

Question: What does it mean to see my corrections?

Answer: To see my corrections means that I begin to treat my friends in the ten like family.

Mutual Influence

528.03Question: Let’s say the Creator gives me another revelation of egoism. I ask the Creator to correct it, and my state somehow changes. Does such individual spiritual work influence the entire ten?

Answer: Of course it does because you are part of this group. Therefore, when you ask and the group asks, you influence each other, and the Creator works between you. The most important thing is not to let go of mutual care for each other.

A Network Woven from the Threads of Love

Bnei BaruhWe need to build such a network of connections so that the threads of love stretch between us, and then we need to jump into this sea of love. And we can already talk about it right now and try to do it, but in fact, it will become clear only after a strong connection in the ten.

This can only be realized when I feel myself inside the ten, and together with the entire ten we will take a step toward an even broader unification. Then we will experience indescribable sensations, unlike anything that exists in our world.

Caring in the Heart

938.01Each of us must take care that our desires in our hearts are addressed not to ourselves, but to others.

We have a large group. We must face each other and support each other. And then, although one falls a little, the other rises a little.

The Creator acts like this, alternately between us. Therefore, getting used to the fact that we constantly think about the general rise is our big job.

Question: Caring in the heart is caring for the group. I think about the group, I join the ten, and in addition, I try to include the ten in the group; that is, I try to combine these two things that are still separate. How correct is this direction?

Answer: A lot depends on habit. A habit is a special state of our internal properties that we perceive as given to us by nature. Therefore, we should try to behave as if our desires were directed toward each other. Even if this is not the case, we must do everything by force. And then from potential, it will turn into action.

Question: What should we do so as not to miss this moment and “grab the Creator”?

Answer: We need to constantly be in touch between our friends and the Creator. And the rest of our life should be an addition to this.

I see that everything is open before us, we just need to hold on to each other and the global Kli more strongly. This is enormous power! If we use it properly, we will succeed.

Unity Ball

938.03At the convention you need to try to feel love for each other without paying attention to a person’s external qualities. The main thing is that everyone has this special quality of being chosen by the Creator to participate in our world group. That is why I agree with the Creator and am ready to be with these friends. I constantly try to get closer to them.

Multiple connections happen here: the merging of each one of us with a friend, the merging with the ten and through our ten with other tens, and in general with everyone together so that there is a combination of all our qualities and desires. It turns out that there is our common Kli, a common desire with common feelings, and it is even impossible to make out where I am, where you are, and where he or she is.

Everything weaves together into one tangle and merges into one ball where we see only a single force that created us, united us, and brought us to it. And within this force we unite all together without any distinction between us. This is the unification of creation with the Creator.

Open Your Heart to Love the World

504Each of us lacks only one thing—to try to open his heart. If a person opens his heart, in comes love of friends, which is the root of the love of the Creator. That is, love of the Creator is established in him, and he begins to feel the upper force.

Love of friends is a necessary condition; it is the stream through which love of the Creator flows, absolute love. It solves all problems and connects all hearts. And then a person begins to feel what is really happening in the world.

A person realizes that there is no material world but only absolute love called love of the world that embraces him from all sides. And in the light of this love, he reveals the whole reality, the whole universe from one end to another.
