Preparation for the Lesson

209Question: When I read our sources before bed, sometimes I find myself deeply immersed in a single sentence. On the other hand, I push myself to finish reading the entire article. Which is preferable: the quality of immersion or the effort to read as much as possible?

Answer: It depends on a person’s state. Sometimes just one paragraph can explain more to you than reading the entire article. Therefore it is impossible to say exactly how much you need to read.

However, as a rule it is better to read the article that we are going to study the next day. In this way, you gradually get used to absorbing large volumes of material.

We would typically receive an article from Rabash that he had written the day before, and we would read it together at a gathering. The next morning, he would explain the article, expand on it, and answer questions. We should do the same; there is no need to rush forward.

The Path that Gives the Sense of the Creator

276.02Question: Baal HaSulam writes there is nothing more natural or necessary than connection with the Creator because He is nature. Is it possible to convey this to the world, not through faith below knowledge or religion, but rather in or above knowledge?

Answer: No, imagine we are in a state where the Creator sends us some signals from His level, from His height. We cannot recognize them correctly. The only thing we can do is ask Him to draw us to Him. Only then will we begin to feel and understand Him more and come into contact with Him.

The feeling of the Creator can only be obtained through the path Kabbalah offers. All other paths are built on accustoming oneself to believing there is some kind of power.

Question: So without uniting people into tens, without a practical methodology, it is not possible to give it to the world?

Answer: No, nature is designed so that only through tens can we draw closer to the Creator.

Treat Each Other with Kindness

283.01Question: How can I stop viewing my friends as rivals and start seeing them as partners on the path to the Creator? How can I seem them as parts of my soul, without jealousy, comparison, or anger?

Answer: It is a challenge to move from hatred to love. It cannot be done in one leap, but it can be done gradually.

First of all, constantly ask the Creator to give you the ability to see only positive qualities in your friends. In this way, you will appreciate them for the good that is revealed to you.

Every person has both good and bad qualities, but you want to see only the good. It is like parents who see only the good in their little child, but if you ask others, what will they say about this child? Only negative things.

So it all depends on how we look at things. We should try to see everyone completely independently of our personal feelings, and then we will be able to see correctly. That is all.

Convey Our Attitude to the Creator

945Question: Right now, we feel that we have received the upper light and are searching for how to act for the sake of the Creator so it does not leave us. What should our unified action be to convey this attitude to Him?

Answer: For this, we must feel the Creator, connect with Him, and transmit to Him what is within us: our desires, our hearts. And then, everything will work out.

This can be broken down into several steps. First we need to unite all our hearts together. Then we connect our heart with the Creator and transmit our attitude from it to the heart of the Creator.

How Can We Learn to Understand the Signals of the Creator?

294.2Question: How can one learn to understand the signals of the Creator?

Answer: You need to reveal it all within yourself: what you feel, what you think, and what you see.

The Creator speaks to each of us every moment in a new way. We just need to tune ourselves to reveal the appeal of the Creator to us.

Question: How can we instantly establish contact with Him?

Answer: It depends on how much we desire to be connected with Him, to rise to Him, and to understand Him, so that He feels us more and is revealed within us.

Unite in One Desire

947Question: What is the best way to form a desire to unite? Most of the time I am in imaginary pursuits and indifference, but I have to cling to something in a friend. But each friend is different. What should I pay attention to?

Answer: Pay attention to the fact that I want to cling to a friend and he wants the same thing. If you have a joint direction of desire, you will connect and form one common desire, a single form.

Question: But I do not feel this friend. Do I have to enter into some interaction with him?

Answer: Yes, this interaction will gradually find you. You will cling to it and through it to the friend. It starts with the fact that you want to unite with all your friends and reveal that you actually do not have a particular desire for this. You constantly forget about it, push it away, and therefore nothing happens.

Question: How can I unite with a friend who has no love for me? How can I get strength from connection with him?

Answer: You can gain strength by wanting to connect with him, even if you do not know him or feel distant from him. It is only through this desire that you begin to achieve any connection with him.

Question: Does the power we receive come from the ten or the Creator?

Answer: Only from the Creator.

Toward the Creator

937Question: I know that I will go through everything to the end with you. I want to hear from you what you expect from us, and we will do it. What should we rise above now; what should we cancel?

How do we clarify the importance of spirituality from the chaff and get to the bottom of it? When I asked you, “What do you do when you’re scared?” you said, “Close your eyes and jump into the unification.” Where is this point? Where do we jump to?

Answer: In principle such a wish applies to our current state. There can be no next step if a person does not realize he is stepping into the unknown. Therefore, we have no other way. I am not hiding it; how could I hide it?

Do you see what kind of world we live in? It is not easy. On the one hand, we can resent the fact that the Creator sets up such events for us. But on the other hand, you still have to go above knowledge. And then we will overcome everything.

Question: Where should we jump now with our eyes closed?

Answer: Only to the center of unification. If we really jump into the very center, then in flight, we will see how the Creator greets us there.

Study the Spiritual Mechanism

264.01Question: If one of the “gears” in the mechanism of the ten is faulty or off-tune, but the friend does not realize it, is it possible for the ten to correct it together? What should we advise him?

Answer: This is about group work between friends. You must study together, tell each other how to act, and strive for a state where you will start this common mechanism in connection with each other, a common soul that will work because of you.

We have to accept these conditions and try to become engaged in them. Within some time (everyone has their own) each of us will eventually agree to work in tune with the rest of the gears, with the rest of the machine.

Question: Maybe we need a new method?

Answer: There are no new methods, because the system originates at the initial state of creation and is directed at its final state. Therefore, all we need is to study the spiritual mechanism a little, and most importantly—try to start it.

Question: That is, we must bow down and understand that the Creator is making this movement over us, and we cannot do anything. Or can we still do something? What is the correct opinion?

Answer: The correct opinion is that you will constantly look for what the Creator wants from you and try to do what He sees fit.
