Question: In the article “The Agenda of the Assembly,” Rabash writes that when friends gather together, they should talk about each other’s importance.

It seems unnatural to me. I have never heard of people invited to a meeting talking about the importance of each other, the benefits they can gain from the meeting, and how significant those benefits are compared to not attending. Why does Rabash give such unnatural advice?

Answer: In principle, there is nothing unnatural here because we are talking about friends gathering in a group. The purpose of this group is to perform spiritual work that can only be realized together.

Additionally, they understand that their spiritual development depends on how well they connect with each other. Therefore, the article discusses what such a group should be like, how friends should interact with each other, and their attitudes toward one another. All these are very important elements of the spiritual work of each member of the group.

Comment: You agree that when a person goes to a meeting, he does not think, “How great these friends are!” If he is interested in being with them, he goes. If he sees them as ordinary, he simply does not attend the meeting. But here we come and have to artificially elevate the importance of the friends.

My Response: Yes, that is correct. Moreover, this may be, as they say, “out of the blue” when a person has no such thoughts or intentions at all. But he begins to seriously contemplate this and gradually develops a desire for the gathering, for his friends, understands how important they are, and realizes that achieving the highest condition of spiritual ascent from the level of our world to the spiritual world depends solely on how the friends unite and aim upward together.

Question: What actually brings a person pleasure? Is it the act of bestowal to a great person or to the Creator, which in principle are the same thing, or is it the equivalence of qualities when I feel that I am like Him?

Answer: It is the equivalence of qualities. Being similar to the Creator is a very high level. By achieving this, you completely adhere to Him and become absolutely like Him! Therefore, there is no higher state than a person coming closer to the Creator.

Comment: In all sources it is written that the Creator does not think about Himself. He does not have such thoughts. He is like an energy station that only emanates, gives, creates, and unites all of nature, starting from inanimate substances and ending with humans. So in principle, I want at least to have such inclinations.

My Response: To achieve that, you really need to ask the Creator to give you such a nature. This cannot be manifested in a person in a natural way without asking!

Question: What gives a person the guarantee that they will not remain in their egoistic nature for the rest of their life and will be able to reach equivalence of qualities with the Creator?

Answer: There is no guarantee. We understand that we are governed by the upper force and it is interested in us getting closer to it, uniting with it, and working together with it to correct ourselves and the world.

Question: When a person receives a question from the ego, it immediately responds with reason. If a person refuses this egoistic response, then he falls into a state of weightlessness, a kind of emptiness. What is the response from faith to this state of emptiness?

Answer: Uncorrected egoism constantly asks a person all sorts of questions so that he, in search of an answer to them, agrees with them.

Therefore, first of all, a person must unearth the answer to the question: what does he really want? And if he realizes that this answer is still selfish, he will know that he is still in selfishness.

Question: If such questions practically do not arise now, is it worth awakening them?

Answer: No, you should not artificially arouse any questions in yourself. You only need to awaken the desire to connect with your friends. And there you will find the answers to all your questions.

Our entire work is as “a ladder set on the earth with its top reaching the heaven” (Rabash, Article 10, “Jacob Went Out”).

Question: It says that the ladder stands on the ground; it is clear that this is our desire with which we have a constant connection. How do we build the top of the ladder going up into the heaven, the Rosh?

Answer: First a person faces difficulties, and if he copes with them, he rises. Second, in order to rise, he must solve all the problems that arise with his friends.

Question: How can we come to a common desire to liberate ourselves from egoism if everyone is not ready? After all, it is impossible to transfer the experience that a person has gained.

Answer: It cannot be that everyone is on the same level and similar. Only the desire to become like each other will make you a ten.

In the ten there may be different people with different qualities; the Creator will unite everyone and everything.

The main thing is to start working and pray to the Creator so that He reveals Himself as much as possible and shows you your true state. From here, you will begin to advance.

Question: On one hand you say that we develop a value for the desired state, and this causes fear and suffering in the current one.

On the other hand you advised us to check what is stopping us and, on this side, to develop the fear of remaining in our current state. In which direction do you need to work more?

Answer: Try to reason not from your egoism, which is afraid of losing something, but from the perspective of how much closer you can get to the goal of creation.

All the states we go through lead us to the goal. There is nothing that is really against it.

Therefore, there is no need to think about any low states, only about high ones, and pull everyone toward them.

That the merciful one had mercy on us and showed us our true state, which is bitter, and then we can be awarded salvation and redemption (Rabash, Letter 72)

Comment: After we left Egypt and entered the Land of Israel, we were still adapt to the people surrounding us. We did not try to escape from Egypt and preferred someone else’s work to work for the Creator.

My Response: You prefer foreign work because you stayed in Egypt.

First, you must feel you are in exile and that this buries you in the sand. Then, gradually, by helping one another, you should begin to pull yourself out of the sand, i.e., from Egypt.

Question: What does it mean that the ten agree to go without any conditions, and this is what leads them to real prayer, which the Creator will hear?

Answer: No matter what happens, the ten agree to be together and rise above your egoism together.

Question: When we talk about the shattering of Adam HaRishon‘s soul into 600 thousand souls, do we mean those souls who came out of Egypt and those who are now going to be corrected and are going to the final correction?

Answer: A constant number of souls exist in the world, which need to be corrected. They are broken into parts, corrected, and reconnected into one common part. And so it continues like a puzzle assembling itself.

Therefore, we want to be attracted to a common goal, rise, and together raise several thousand more people related to us. There are more than a few thousand, more like hundreds of thousands. We will soon see that this is what will happen.

Then by uniting more and more, we will be able to get information about our connections. So let us move forward and increasingly feel the movement toward complete correction.

We will reveal what Adam, Hava, angels (Malachim) and so on are because we will begin to reveal the entire system of governance of the universe in the highest form.
