The Creator created one desire, which underwent development and then broke into small parts. Starting with the shattering of the common desire into separate particles, egoism arose between them, a mutual rejection from each other, and they began to feel themselves placed in our world.

All the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human desires that we began to feel, we began to see outside of ourselves in the form of the surrounding world. Our desires for each other consist of four levels we call still, vegetative, animate, and human, or 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Our job is to get off the egoistic degree because by staying on it we do not even feel where we are.

Egoism initially closes us inside ourselves—each and every one. While in it we feel nothing but our world. That is the lowest, most insignificant, and most broken part of the Universe. Therefore, we do not know who we are, what we are, what we are for—absolutely nothing! Perhaps we feel overwhelmed. And then, even this truth we do not feel.

But we are given the power that develops us. Gradually, more and more upper light descends on us, the quality of bestowal, which allows us to feel the need to unite with each other.

The Creator has made man unable to help himself. …The Creator has made the hardening of the heart, so that man will be unable to overcome the evil in him and will need the Creator. By this, man will need to be rewarded with the NRNHY of Neshama (Rabash, Article 1, 1989, “What Is the Extent of Teshuva [Repentance]?”).

The Creator did everything so that a person cannot reveal the upper world and the Creator, but one will feel a need for Him and turn to Him with a request that obliges the Creator to help him or her.

That is the “hook” that we must make. On the one hand, we yearn to attain the Creator, to reveal Him; it seems possible, and we rush forward headlong. On the other hand, we stumble, fall, make mistakes, and become increasingly convinced that we cannot do it on our own.

When a person reaches the greatest devastation, the greatest disappointment, and raises one’s hands because he realizes that one has no way to reveal the Creator, but on the other hand, a person still cannot leave it, he must comprehend Him—these are the two opposite forces, properties, sensations, and passions that begin to form in him and it is the vessel in which the Creator reveals Himself.

Thus, a desire to attain the Creator and a disappointment in the impossibility of doing it reveal within a person. Then, between these two forces, the Creator is revealed.

Question: What is final correction?

Answer: Final correction is the attainment of being together with all souls in one common soul called Adam, from the word “Domeh,” “like the Creator.” We are like Him, and therefore He fills us.

We are like the Kli, and the Creator is like the light. That is the state when we are united together, and the Creator is in us. This condition is called Gmar Tikkun—final correction. We must achieve it.

It is attained in a ten by both men and women. There is no need to look for anything when everything is in one direction. You will see how many different states you will go through; it is simply incomprehensible to the mind, although it is only about desire and fulfillment. Filling affects desire, and desire reacts to filling. There is nothing else!

Look at what is happening in our world: millions of colors, sounds, billions of people, and a variety of inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature. And all this comes from only two parameters: the desire to receive and the desire to fill, to give pleasure.

Therefore, there is no need to look for anything else. You will see that this gives you a lot of sensations along the way! You will be amazed at how many states we can gather from all this.

This is similar to ten people standing and looking at an airplane flying from afar. To the onlookers, the plane seems like a tiny dot. But some of the people have binoculars that magnify the plane several times in size. However, each of them has a different set of binoculars—one has binoculars that magnify significantly, and for another, it magnifies less.

It follows that one sees the plane as four meters long, another says it is three, and yet another says it is only two meters long. They are all reporting what they are actually seeing, but still there are differences between them. Yet, the differences make no change in the plane itself, for all the changes are only in the eyes of the perceivers (Rabash, Letter No. 19).

Question: How can we discern the forms of spiritual connection between us through the “common binoculars” of the ten?

Answer: Because we are oriented in different directions, we cannot consider the common binoculars of the ten.  In order to obtain “common binoculars,” we must combine our visions and hearts toward one goal. And then we will see the Creator.

Question: Rabash writes that names (Partzufim) appear only in relation to the person who attains. How can we see something spiritual together since this is a personal experience?

Answer: It will come.

Question: Is it right for us to discuss at least something elementary? For example, how do we feel the importance of the goal in the ten or the level of connection?

Answer: Sure, discuss it.

Question: What is the correct intention that the light of the Creator will enter into?

Answer: The correct intention is to make an effort to do a good deed to bring souls closer to each other so that the Creator can reveal Himself in them and they can feel the pleasure that He can dwell within them.

The correct intention is to unite our desires so that the Creator can fulfill them.

Question: I feel that I cannot cope with my ego! Should I tell my friends about it or keep it to myself?

Answer: That you cannot cope is clear. But don’t look to discuss these issues with your friends as they have their problems. Instead, seek connection with the Creator.

Be wholeheartedly connected with your friends and at the same time turn your heart toward the Creator.

There is no need to involve your friends because you are in one state and each of them is in a different one. The most important thing is to seek connection with the Creator, and based on your connection with the group.

Question: So should I pretend that I am in a good mood?

Answer: Of course, always keep your friends in good spirits. Especially when you are in a low state.

Question: What is this state where my egoism desires the Creator? And even not just the Creator, but the quality of bestowal. How, while denying bestowal, can I want it? What is this state?

Answer: Gradually, under the influence of studying and working in a group, the importance of the quality of bestowal will arise within you.

You will feel how you begin to respect this quality; it becomes valuable to you because by possessing it, you can transcend time and space. There would be no difficulty or problem for you because the quality of bestowal is above our world.

Our world is the quality of reception, while the upper world is the quality of bestowal.

Question: When does the work in the ten begin and end?

Answer: Work in the ten begins when you feel that you have no other choice, you must be in a ten for the sake of attaining your soul, the Creator.

The end of the work in the ten occurs when the whole world is also connected to this ten and only one Partzuf of ten Sefirot is obtained.

This is the end of the correction of the whole creation.

That is all. That is, the whole work, in general, from beginning to end, is in the ten.

Question: Are Kabbalistic materials from twenty years ago appropriate for our time?

Answer: We record everything. There are very good materials from those years.

I’m moving with the group. The group is moving forward and no longer needs to chew through the material as it was in those years. Twenty years ago, for the first time, I took the Introduction to the Wisdom of Kabbalah with students: Sefirot, worlds, soul, structure. I chewed it all out for them in a way I can’t do today. I see people in front of me who don’t need to be told this.

Now I have to speak briefly. I express some new, more analytical internal data; synthesize the material from different sides, in different planes, and in a different way, and they already understand this.

That is, the material for beginners is no longer served in the simplicity that it was once taught. On the one hand, this is a big disadvantage. But, on the other hand, there is an archive.
