In A Boat Through The Waves

943A ten can unite in such a way that it makes one common boat out of itself in which it will sail through the waves without fear of drowning in the sea of egoism. We want to build this boat from our mutual forces of bestowal and get into it together.

Waves are raging around our boat, sharks are circling, but we sit inside it and we are not afraid of anything if we try to keep together.

This boat is not built from ordinary material, not from wood or metal, but from our mutual guarantee, from our connection. In such a boat we can sail through the waves without being afraid of anything, because the force of the importance of the goal, of the importance of bestowing to the Creator, is keeping us afloat.

There Is One Creator Everywhere

963.8Question: Suppose the Creator is revealed in a specific ten that works correctly, let’s call Him Creator 1. Suppose the Creator is also revealed in another ten, let’s call Him Creator 2. Then there is a special event, like a convention, for example, in which the two tens unite as one and Creator 3 appears in them.

Can we say that the history of Creator 1 and Creator 2 is in Creator 3 or that this Creator is unique because the moment of unity between the two tens is unique?

Answer: The Creator is one everywhere. It is the only force that is revealed in every ten according to its unity.

The Creator has only one attribute, the attribute of absolute love and bestowal. You will reveal Him to the extent that you resemble this attribute.

Investing In A Spiritual Savings Account

528.02Question: A ten in which we engage in internal spiritual work and in dissemination advances toward the future, to the next state.

If I suddenly drop out from the ten and feel discomfort and shame, can this state be called hell, from which I will later be able to feel the taste of bestowal unto the group, or is it just a preparation for more serious emotions?

Answer: We can say that it is hell to some extent. Of course there is what we call more serious levels later on, and you are yet to be “fried” with shame. But it is a good thing.

Believe me, I have been in this line for 40 years and it is still a wonderful page in my life, my whole life in fact, and I don’t regret it at all. I am over 70 and many of my friends I studied with at university or had been in touch with have already passed away. But I don’t think that my fate is worse than theirs.

Do not turn down an opportunity to get closer to the upper laws, to the upper world. After all, you do understand that it is for good. Each day that you invest is an investment in your general spiritual savings account. It is saved for everyone and enters each one’s soul specifically. So do not underestimate any single lesson or any group activity, but carry on and advance.

How Can We Correct Evil?

934Question: What exactly is the correction of evil attributes, desires, yearnings, and thoughts? If such a desire and thought appears, how can I fix it in practice?

Answer: Only in the ten. I cannot do anything on my own.

We have the best, clear, and accurate system, so just start using it. Enter this system and you will see what it can give you, how participating and connecting in the ten starts immediately to correct each and every one. If you do that, you will not need any other corrections.

We do not know the spiritual laws, but by pushing ourselves to connect in the ten, we reach a clear and accurate form of the spiritual state and then the Creator is revealed inside it.

Adhering To The Ten

947Question: I have been studying for over two years now and only lately did I hear that once I am in a ten, I will have to be in it for the rest of my life.

Answer: No, we have never said anything like that. There is no problem, you can change tens, but the most important thing here is to try to work with one all the time.

I will say one thing only: when you work in a regular ten, you accumulate material to work on. You are committed to them and they are committed to you. That is, qualitatively speaking, you advance better this way.

It seems to us that this is a problem only in our world. Not really! The Creator places different attributes in you, all kinds of new conditions, shatterings and corrections according to the ten you are in and according to the way you relate to it.

So, on one hand, you must try to adhere to the ten so that you are able to totally melt in them internally, and on the other hand, you will be able to fully gather them like a mother who gathers her youngsters, externally. This is how you express your attitude to the Creator, because as a result, you will discover the Creator in the ten.

The Only Criterion For Advancement

528.01Question: We detach from the ten from time to time, then re-enter it, and the frequency with which we do it is an indication of the quality of our work. According to which criterion can we measure it?

Answer: With regard to the ten and to the Creator who is in it!

I am constantly connected to them for this is my soul and it is with this that I advance in life. Physically I work, I care for my family, I participate in all kinds of corporeal events, but internally, I constantly feel that I am holding on to the ten and to the Creator who is in it. This is my only criterion.

Question: What if I have a certain ten today and another tomorrow?

Answer: It makes no difference. All the tens will eventually unite into one. On the whole, everything that was created will unite into one single ten, including nature, the still, the vegetative, and animate levels.

A Ten As A Single Individual

528.01Question: How can we unite different tens together to achieve the practical goal of connecting them all?

Answer: I would let every ten work on its own for now. You should feel your ten as a unit in which there are no separate personalities, but has its own personality manifested through the unity of ten people. Then the light will begin to be revealed in you, that is, the common quality of bestowal, the quality of love. This is the Creator!

You will see how the feeling of an upper state above our world, a system of governing forces will begin to manifest. That is, you will begin to rise to the next degree.

Later, to rise to an even higher level, you will need another ten by your side. So gradually, you will be climbing up the pyramid.

At the same time you will feel that you need to engage in dissemination so that behind you there would be other such tens connected to other tens. But this is only after you have reached the connection between you.

Tens—The Structure Of A Kabbalistic Organization

938.02Question: The very process of your teaching has led to the creation of the current structure of your organization, division into tens. Has the effect of self-arrangement of living matter in the form of people worked here and produced such a fairly clear structure?

Answer: It is written in Kabbalah that one must study in tens. It is desirable that there are ten people in the group. And then tens will gather in hundreds, in thousands, and so on. I am personally not involved in this, I just teach people. But they all clearly feel their unity.

Question: So they are already organizing themselves and you do not participate in it?

Answer: Yes. They monitor and strictly observe this. For them, being in a group of ten people is a sacred duty. Because this is the only way they can support each other.

With The Support Of Friends

528.04Question: What is the correct way to realize the internal suffering of creation by connection with the Creator? How can one annul before the upper, before the group, the moment evil is revealed without harming the connection?

Answer: If you want to do it quickly, only with the support of your friends. The process is a little slower through reading the correct sources: the book Shamati, Rabash’s articles, Baal HaSulam’s and Rabash’s letters. But it happens best and fastest under the influence of the environment, i.e., the group, the ten.

If there is no group, then advancement slows down, it becomes very painful. No matter how much a person tries to study independently, in the end one still must find a group, enter it, and within it find oneself and act.

The entire reaction of a person to any influences in his life, but mainly to spiritual ones, should be in the ten. Whatever happens to him, if it is connected with his relation to the Creator, to his friends, to himself, no matter what, this is his spiritual part. He must realize it in the group because it is our soul.

A person by himself is a unit, one part of the spiritual body. When he connects with nine more, and they begin to form a spiritual framework, a spiritual diagram, they gradually connect and enter into each other more deeply. When this system suddenly begins to match the upper force of bestowal, connection, then love is felt in it. This power is called the Creator.

The correct connection of the ten gives the revelation of the Creator in it. The desire that the friends find in connection with each other is called a Partzuf, and the fulfillment in the Partzuf is the upper light of the Creator.

How To Be Useful To Your Ten

528.02Question: How can I be useful to my ten?

Answer: To be useful to your ten is to give it a good example that I give myself completely to it and that despite any disagreements, I love all my friends.

I want to support everyone in the ten in everything: in the greatness of the goal, in the greatness of our mission, in making the connection between us more precious than anything else in the world.

When I position myself in this way in regard to the ten, I give them my strength, my inspiration, my goal. What they receive from me as a result and act further is already my continuation in them. If each one in the ten works like this, we will very quickly have the correct connection, and in it, we will reveal the upper world.
