Efficient Work

939.02Question: If I have caught the feeling of dissolving into my friends, how can I work effectively with this in order for everyone to advance?

Answer: When we unite with our friends in one ten and then in tens, in hundreds, and in thousands, the more we unite in this way, the more we will feel the common Kli, the upper light that will come to us through all the friends.

You need to join your friends and carry all the upper light, energy, and love for absolutely everyone through yourself.

The Force of Unity

528.01Question: What does it mean that the force of unity inclines the whole world to the side of merit? How does this happen in the ten?

Answer: First of all, you must achieve connection between you. And then your force of unity, which you will achieve together, will reveal the Creator to you, will reveal the upper world, and you will see how everything really works.

Question: What is the beginning of the sensory form of the feeling of connection in the ten?

Answer: One desire and one goal.

Under the Condition of Convergence

592.02Question: As animals, we can fight with each other, we can be afraid. And how can we raise the importance and greatness of the Creator so that we break away from our animal, feel that the Creator is the most important thing for us, and so we will put what He wants from us first instead of what our animal is afraid of?

Answer: We can achieve everything only through our connection. The more tightly we connect, the greater height we will reach. There will be nothing to be afraid of, everything will be arranged perfectly and well. But this is only on condition of rapprochement between us.

Question: How can we see where this rapprochement is still lacking?

Answer: Check yourself with your ten; everyone should do so, and you will see that everything will be fine. Everything will be great! Nothing bad will happen!

What Makes Us Equal?

939.01Question: In order to connect, Must we be equal in order to connect; will be not be to annul unless we are equal?

Answer: No, our unity does not depend on equality, it depends on accepting each other. The fact is there will never be equality between us.

Each of us is a unique individual, a separate organism with its own nervous system, mind, and feelings. There can only be equality if we make ourselves equal. We all have the same nature, the same goal, and in this respect we are equal.

As we progress, we become both more different and more equal. Egoism develops more and more in each of us; thus, we move away from each other. But everyone strives for the same goal, so we get closer and eventually become like one man with one heart.

Universal Integration

937Question: When Kabbalah speaks about the merging of two objects, does it mean integration with each friend or between each of us with the ten as the second object?

Answer: It is the adhesion of each one of us with a friend, the adhesion of each of us with the ten, the adhesion through my ten with other tens, and in general with everyone.

That is, there is multiple unification, multiplication, and combination of all our properties and desires that happen here. Then it turns out that we have a common vessel, a common desire, with common feelings where it is impossible even to understand where I am and where you are, where he is and where she is, and so on.

Everything merges together in one sphere, a sphere in which we see only one single force that created us, connected us, and brought us to it. We unite within this force without any difference between us. This is the connection of creation with the Creator.

Question: Do we connect and come to adhesion with each friend or with the ten?

Answer: You need to imagine the ten all the time and not break it down into individual friends, into individuals: this one is better or worse, this one is closer or farther from me. In no way you should do that.

What Does the Creator Want?

934Question: Everything that happens in the tens means that the Creator is talking to us in this way. How do we learn to understand what He wants from us? By leading us either on the left line or on the right, what is He telling us in this way?

Answer: The Creator wants us to feel mutual love for each other within which we would prepare a place for Him so that He could be revealed in us. Our relationship of love for each other will be called Shechina—a place for the revelation of the Creator.

Everything that happens comes from our qualities, and therefore, we must change them to love, connection, and reciprocity.

Ask for Unity

167Question: My inner ten is in my heart, and I also want to bring everyone I meet at the convention into my heart and to keep them there. With what prayer for the group should I combine my inner work?

Answer: To unite all in one group as much as possible. No matter how many of you there are, five, ten, fifty, or a hundred people, no matter how many, you should not limit yourself in this. Everyone who wants to join each other during the convention can be together.

Question: What should we ask for the group at this time?

Answer: Connection of everyone into one single heart without any differences between us.

Physical Congress – Spiritual Unity

947Question: What should be the perception of the physical group when we try to connect the three components: me, the group, and the Creator?

Answer: There is no physical group! In no way are you in a physical group!

What difference does it make who is where and at what distance from each other?! Do we have to sniff each other like dogs, or do we have to touch each other? What for?!

We rise above our senses. Why should I care what you look like and in general who and what you are?!

Of course we must have some initial common opportunities for exchanging desires, properties, and information. There has to be something there to start this process.

But when we begin this movement and exit the framework of our corporeal sensation, we yearn toward the general structure that we want to create from our inclinations to ascend, to find the meaning of life, and so on. And then that is it, it no longer matters who is who.

We see that people all over the world are studying with us: from Chile, Mexico, North America, England, Romania, Russia, etc.

During these days before the congress we will see 1,500 to 2,000 people here.

There is no stronger convention in the world than ours where people from all countries come here! They come to do serious work! This is amazing!

When to Pray in Silence?

237Question: You said that it is beneficial to say a prayer out loud both in the ten and in person. Why is it important to pronounce, and when is it better to pray in silence?

Answer: When you speak your prayer, you connect with your friends, and there is nothing closer than that.

On the other hand if you are not in connection with them, it is better not to speak aloud. That is, a person who speaks reveals his soul so to say, and this can harm him.

Everything Depends on the Intensity of Connection

945Question: How can we reach such a level of mutual guarantee that both men and women feel the power of the mutual guarantee in the group and the heart itself shows what we are ready for at the next convention?

Answer: We study in the wisdom of Kabbalah that everything comes down to ten: ten Sefirot, ten levels of revelation of the Creator. But since we study this in all kinds of sources, we do not talk about it much.

Of course if a person just listens to us, then it seems unconvincing to him and these are just words for him. But if we really want to experience the Sefirot, the Partzufim, and the worlds, if we want to participate in this, then we need to be connected with each other.

After all, it is only through the intensity of the connection between us that we feel the upper world and begin to feel the Creator and ourselves in a state of eternity, above our world, which is the lowest of all worlds.
