The Practice of Joint Immersion

528.03A wonderful group gathered here at a congress, united by a huge, colossal unity with the light inside.

And although it escapes our comprehension, in reality nothing is wasted. You just need to dive inside, to your point in the heart and want to unite with other points. Then I will see that the light reigns between us and we are all united internally.

That is what we have to reveal. This, in fact, is the realization of the science of Kabbalah. Everything that we study, the worlds, the Partzufim, the Sefirot, is a connection that we reveal. When we enter our inner unity, then the measures of connection between us and the measures of disclosure and concealment of light make up the spiritual world.

Our relationship is divided into five levels: Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, and Adam Kadmon, up to a total, perfect connection called the “world of Infinity” where there is no limit to our relationship. And these levels, in turn, are divided into Partzufim and Sefirot. In the end, it is only there that we reveal what is written in the Torah, and in general, in all Kabbalistic books.

We have nowhere to run. We just need to constantly focus on the inner, deep level where we are interconnected. It all depends on everyone’s attentiveness: let the person not give up this aspiration.

That is where the big problem lies: How can we step inside, dive in again and again, until we reach this level, until we feel it between us, until we catch the waves of our interconnection, which will begin to connect each of us to the common system. Where can we get the power of desire, attention, empathy, and sensitivity?

Here, again, I need an environment. I can’t hold myself together for more than a moment alone. I can try, apply my mind and feeling, dive inside, want to be there, and hold on with my teeth, but in a second everything disappears.

Only the friends, who are already two million around the world, will help. Everyone should think about everyone, because they depend on everyone, and then I will help myself through others. That is not what I’m incapable of. But if I think about everyone, so that they think about it too and go to the same thing, then the common force, the common thought that I send to everyone will do its job, even if they don’t hear me.

Even if I only think about it quietly to myself, my desire for their benefit, which is called the “prayer of many,” it returns to me and helps me stay on the inner level, sinking deeper.

And therefore, working as a group, we should not disperse in different directions. You just need to focus on this inner point: how to keep ourselves in the deep layers of the group where we are united with each other. This applies equally to men and women.

The external must also be put at the service of the internal. As Baal HaSulam and Rabash write, we must talk about the importance of the goal, the importance of friends, and the importance of the group. After all, it gives me inspiration, confidence, and assurance so that I can get closer and closer to my inner level, until it opens up. And then I will feel that I have entered the inner, spiritual world.

Therefore, there is a law: “May man help his neighbor.” Only with mutual support will each of us be able to achieve spirituality. No one will ever be able to do it alone.

Stand Level with the Creator

703.03Question: If I am the creation of a perfect Creator, why can’t I, just as I am, simply be allowed to enjoy the ordinary life given by the Creator?

Answer: You can. But then you will turn into a little “bug” sitting on a piece of cake and consuming it your entire life. No one will disturb it: just as it began its life, so it will finish it. Do you want to be like that? By all means!

Question: But the Creator will not allow a person to remain in such a state?

Answer: Of course not. We must stand level with the Creator, rise to His degree, nothing less than that. Each person must take their place in the system of creation, at its specific, pivotal points. All the more so this must be attained by those who have received a special awakening toward the wisdom of governance.

Build a Place for the Revelation of the Creator

939.01To build a place for the revelation of the Creator means that a person must not only correct himself, but also receive the “bricks” for the construction from everyone else, which means to attach the desires of others.

Each person must use all the desires that exist in reality, the desires that are prepared by the Creator for the created beings. Everyone builds a complete Kli, a perfect place. It turns out that it must be built from 600,000 parts that were originally embedded in the foundation of the soul of Adam HaRishon, where each part, in turn, consists of 600,000.

The Kli that a person corrects from the foundations given to him is infinite. Although it is said that it is 620 times greater, in truth it is impossible even to say how many times greater or how much better in quality it is than the initial foundations that were prepared for building the Kli.

All the sensation of reality, all eternity and perfection, we attain only in this Kli, within the “place.” Therefore it is said that “there is nothing that has no place” because if something exists, if there is anything that we perceive as existing, it can only be within the “place,” according to the measure of its revelation.

And what we feel initially is the stage of Nefesh, the minimal, almost negligible sensation of life that is given to us only so that we can begin the work.

Recognize Our Nature

740.03Regarding the Creator, it is written, “And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain.”

Regarding the people, it is written, “And they stood at the foot of the mountain.”

Anything that is in the intellect is regarded as “in potential.” Afterward, it can expand into actual fact. Accordingly, we can interpret “And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain,” as the thought and intellect of man, meaning that the Creator informed all the people that the inclination of a man’s heart is evil from his youth. After the Creator informed them in potential, meaning at the top of the mountain, that which was in potential expanded in actual fact (Rabash, What Is Preparation for Reception of the Torah? – 1).

Question: What is the recognition of evil?

Answer: That which constantly obstructs me is called evil. The more it obstructs me, the more I want to kill it, erase it, and detach myself from it. If I reveal that it is literally killing me, then I am ready to do anything just to get rid of it to such an extent that people actually pay enormous sums of money to rid themselves of bad qualities, undergo various treatments, attend courses, and so on.

But here I begin to measure myself relative to another point, relative to the top of Mount Sinai, the point in the heart. Then everything that is below the mountain—that is, my nature, which is called “the people,” the people of Israel—I define as evil with respect to myself.

Either I associate myself with the mountain, with Moses who ascended it, or I bury myself beneath the mountain.

If I determine that for me it is evil to remain below the mountain and not on its summit, this is called the true recognition of evil. Then I truly need to receive the correction, to receive the Torah.

Two Parts in a Person: Intention and Action

234Question: Is there some special reason why in the article “Why the Speech of Shabbat Must Not Be as the Speech of a Weekday, in the Work” Rabash addresses the religious and not the secular?

Answer: This is indeed so because there is a necessity to perform the commandments on the material level.

We are built from two parts: intention and action. We need to make sure that intention is the determining factor, and action is the consequence of intention, rather than having intention without action, as if we are simply “fluttering” like angels.

If we perform an action without intention in which there is nothing, then we act like an animal that carries out commands. That is, a person who performs commands without the involvement of his personal desire is similar to an animal.

Therefore, it is said that “a commandment without intention is like a body without a soul.” As Baal HaSulam writes in the “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” a person must study, at least from a short guide, how to observe the commandments and truly fulfill them. But in addition to this, one must perfect oneself and constantly care about the intention through which you grow from below upward to the state of equivalence with the Creator, to the purpose of creation.

With the Help of the Group’s Reaction

938.01Question: How is the analysis of truth and falsehood carried out?

Answer: In a group, this happens incomparably faster than when a person does it alone. In a group, you instantly see the reaction of your friends, how you relate to them, how they relate to you, whether you give to some extent or not.

Then you understand that you are not giving, but only receiving. In that case you can quickly determine that this is the state of “night,” since the group does not welcome the manifestation of a desire to receive, but wants to see you as a bestower.

With the help of the reaction of the group, you very quickly determine your state and come to a conclusion: are these qualities in you day or night, good or evil, truth or falsehood, sweet or bitter.

But you are not the only one looking at the group. The group itself must also constantly provide you with its reactions, its inspiration, new standards and measuring tools that are constantly changing toward greater precision and greater heights that the group demands from its members.

It turns out that whether you want it or not, the group constantly energizes you and sets you in motion.

Without this, it will take a long time for a person to transition from one state to another. If one is not in a group, if one makes efforts alone, this can stretch for months or years, whereas in a group you can go through it in one day and immediately receive criticism and see what is happening.
