Question: For strengthening the group, what is more important, disseminating Kabbalah or our inner work?

Answer: I don’t think one can exist without the other. If a person understands how important inner work is, how will he express this importance? By the fact that we will simply sit together and study?

I don’t think that is enough. And Baal HaSulam, in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar,” writes that the Messiah will come precisely from widespread, mass study of the wisdom of Kabbalah. I do not think one can express the desire to deepen inner work in any other way than through dissemination. How else can we be connected to one another? How else can we perform a joint action? You for me, and I for you.

By engaging in dissemination, we sort of draw the Creator; He is found between us. After all, we are gathering in order to advertise the Creator to people. And this is a very effective action alongside the closeness and corrections in which we already find ourselves.

This must be done. From my experience, I see that very large groups, even those that were connected to Rabash, unfortunately ceased to exist solely because they neglected dissemination.

Question: What does it mean that a person resembles the actions of the Creator?

Answer: It means that he strives to perform the same actions of bestowal. He reveals the Creator’s action upon himself, and this is usually perceived as negative with respect to the will to receive pleasure since the Creator is first revealed by adding to a person an additional desire to receive.

On the one hand, he sees this desire as evil, because by its form, the intention for self-reception, it distances him from the Creator. Yet in itself this state is positive because it is the Creator’s invitation to draw closer to Him to the height of that very desire, by correcting it to the intention “for the sake of bestowal.”

Thus, in every action and in every state, a person must not lose connection with the Creator. Otherwise, he immediately begins to engage in himself, that is, in the desire within him that is not aimed toward the Goal.

After passing through all these stages and striving within his desire to match the Creator’s intention (the Creator desires only to bestow) a person corrects that desire to bestowal. Then it becomes as if common to both of them: the inner part of the Partzuf (Toch), where the Creator and the created being meet and exist in adhesion.

That is, one must view desires as a means, as something not truly “mine.” I have a head (Rosh), where I wish to be together with the Creator in intentions, and there is a body (Guf), where the Creator and I are found, meaning our actions in adhesion.

We are speaking about the “head” of the soul and the “body” of the soul, the Partzuf. One must see the soul as a part of the Creator from Above, where He and I are merged. This is the place of adhesion in actions, and afterward also in thoughts.

Thus, first, I feel the Creator’s influence upon me, within me, inside that desire. Accordingly, I begin to build the Rosh. And when I have established my “head,” relating to the Creator in that desire just as He relates to me, it turns out that I have performed an action in the “body,” as He does. Through this, I begin to attain the “head” of the Creator, His intentions and thoughts toward me.

Relations between friends must be businesslike and directed only toward correction. This is how we test the group. No matter how many disturbances we are still destined to encounter, can we turn them into something useful? This is the greatness of the group.

And to what extent we will be able to receive numerous disturbances and turn them into strength depends on how we all resist these disturbances and help one another.

And all of this is in the mind. Of course, I may perform various material actions, but ultimately all these things lie within, because they build a spiritual vessel within us, which is no longer something material.

We are speaking about thoughts through which we increase desires that connect together, pass from one to another, and then all of us receive even more of these desires, and each one receives them from the other also in the form of a disturbance until he attaches them to himself. In short, each time it is work on attention, which is called intention.

As it is said: “A commandment without intention is like a body without a soul.” Thus, clarification means that a person must be sensitive to this each time. Everything comes only from inner attention to where my heart and mind are right now, on which point I am focused.

It is as if I am moving the beam of a flashlight from one thing to another, examining within the given situation how I must relate to it, what I must increase, what I should pay more attention to, how to attach this to myself, in which direction to turn, how to expand the existing connection.

This is inner work. Imagine how focused a person is on this within himself and to what extent he cannot be disturbed. Only through this does he grow.

I remember asking myself this question: “And what comes next?” Well, next you go to school, then to college, and so on. Since I did not have an answer to this question, I did not really want to study, and in general, I did not want anything. I was quite often in a state of apathy.

Question: Because there was no answer? Did the answer arise from this “I” that demanded growth?

Answer: Of course. What do I live for, why? It was a terrible feeling that everything was meaningless and useless, yet you were forced to do it.

Question: So, in fact, our life is the formation of this “I” within a person?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Then the question is: does this “I” have a connection with that upper force you are always talking about?

Answer: Yes. It is in the question: “For what purpose?” This question is transmitted to everyone, but in certain doses. The one in whom this question arises truly seriously can evidently develop it and receive answers.

Question: If we try to think and fantasize a little, are there “threads” from above leading down to a person’s “I”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And how can we determine when a certain “I” will play out, and when another “I” will jump out?

Answer: For that, one must reveal one’s soul, that is, one’s entire connection with the higher degree. Then you will know why you are being pulled in exactly this way and not another.

Question: And precisely at this time?

Answer: In everything.

Question: Is it programmed which “I” will jump out, and which one will be slightly dulled?

Answer: Absolutely everything is programmed. The beginning of creation, the end of creation, and its intermediate states, practically all are known in advance. Only one thing is unknown: how a person, in realizing their freedom of will, will realize their personal participation in all of this.

This realization is not determined in advance, it is given to a person.

Question: So does actually everything not depend on a person? Does something still depend on them?

Answer: Yes.
