Attack on Egoistic Thoughts

947Question: All day I have been intensely working on the thought of how to ask for my friends in order to bring them closer to the state of Ibur (conception). How can I exert more effort in order to create a real state of attack to reach this level?

Answer: I see no other way than to act on my own, to ask for myself, and to ask for others so that we can all annul ourselves and become one common spiritual body that only thinks about annulling its egoism at the very first stage.

To annul oneself means to fully integrate into each other, to think only about others and not about oneself. In this way, we perform the most productive spiritual action that we are capable of today.

And further, based on the fact that we will go “out of ourselves” and as if entering others, a completely new state will arise—altruistic egoism, which we will apply for the sake of others, not for ourselves. This is what we need to do.

But right now, we really need an attack on our egoistic thoughts and calculations so that all of them are only for the purpose of getting included in others and working as if in the body of our friends, helping them. Therefore, it is said: “Let each one help his friend.” After all, each one cannot ask and pray for himself; only for others.

Question: When we turn to the Creator for our friends, how do we annul our own participation in this?

Answer: When I ask for my friends, I try to make it so that I do not think about myself, as if I do not exist, but only they do. And where is my personal involvement? My personal involvement is only in that I ask for them, that I extend my request on their behalf, but no more than that.

Conclusions from an Axiom

962.3Question: The Creator has no desire to receive; He created it out of nothing. How can the Creator feel the creation that is only in the desire to receive? How can a creature invite Him into its desire to receive?

Answer: We start from the axiom and then discover: everything a person does concerning the Creator is revealed in relation to Him. There is nothing to hide here.

Question: So does the Creator feel the creation both in reception and in bestowal 100%?

Answer: Of course, because we exist in Him.

Establish a Connection with the Creator

229Question: I am about to get married soon and I am in such joy that I constantly thank the Creator for this gift. What else can I do to bring Him contentment?

Question: You mean establish a direct connection with Him?

Answer: Yes, of course.

The Cure for Fear

528.02Comment: You told a friend that if he feels fear, he should come to the group and the fear will pass. I know this from my own experience. But when I leave the group, the fear returns with new strength.

My Response: Come back to the group again.

Comment: I cannot be in the group 24 hours a day.

My Response: Try to stay connected with them non-physically. Spend some time with your friends, and afterward, you will be able to imagine that you are among them.

Question: Are the states I go through and those the group goes through the same?

Answer: It does not matter. The main thing is that you want to be with them.

Make the Truth More Valuable than Lies

234Question: Is truth feeling what the Creator feels and seeing the world as the Creator sees it?

Answer: Of course.

Question: How can one bring oneself closer to such sensitivity?

Answer: This is why we study. What we have been reading all this time we need to somehow absorb within ourselves and try to tune in to perceive reality above our egoism, against it, so that the truth is always more valuable than lies.

You need to constantly monitor that the ego does not rise above you. There is nothing more important than controlling how much you are above it.

A Game of Life

294.4Question: In Rabash’s article, “Woe unto You Who Await the Day of the Lord,” it is written that the Creator has no lack, and therefore no desire—only a game. But isn’t the purpose of creation to delight His creatures, isn’t that the Creator’s desire?

Answer: For the Creator, this is considered a game, but a game does not mean it is not serious. It is said that the Creator sits and plays with the Leviathan. For the Creator, it is a game, but for a person, it should be the game of life.

Feel the Heart of a Friend

938.02To feel the heart of a friend means that I feel not my own heart but his. I live with his thoughts, aspirations, and intentions so that only they speak within me.

And I have nothing of my own. I have only one desire—to feel theirs.

This is the quality of Malchut, which is called the main Sefira because it receives everything from the first nine Sefirot. Each of us in relation to our friends is Malchut.
