To what extent do I connect myself to the group’s collective strength? Only to the extent I replenish it through my own efforts toward the goal.

To that extent, I establish a connection and can draw upon my friends’ ascent to use the collective spiritual force known as the group. By using the common strength, I am in fact adding to the group.

Spiritually, no matter how much you take, you only strengthen the whole; it does not weaken. This is not so in the corporeal world. In spirituality, a person “lights a candle from the candle” of another. This does not mean the first one is left with less. By lighting their candle, the second person adds its glow to the first, until a blazing bonfire ignites.

The situation is such that multiplying the collective strength reinforces it further, and accordingly, we perceive the reality of the group, the environment.

Moreover, as we work on this, we begin to feel everyone, we feel to what extent they invest themselves and how much they are able to invest given their current form. Outwardly, one can be quiet and modest, and can even, perhaps, look lazy, but then we begin to sense the magnitude of their contribution. We already see the work of everyone’s soul.

Question: So the one who takes is contributing?

Answer: Certainly, you take strength from the group to advance. You cannot take anything from this force except the benefit of advancing in the same direction; otherwise, it will not help you in any way.

After all, it is the force of striving for the Creator, directed at Him. You cannot take it and use it for something else; it will not work. Therefore, we see that those who fails to use this flow is evading the work, which means they neither take from it nor contribute to it.

Question: If I am in a state of powerlessness, despair, fatigue and I see a friend who is in a similar situation, how will this help me?

Answer: I can influence his fatigue and weakness; I can awaken and inspire him. I am capable of this, even if it is a game. You cannot influence yourself, but you can influence a friend.

There are people in the group who constantly encourage everyone. They shout: “Come on! Move it!” This quality is very useful within the group. One can jokingly compare such a person to an army warrant officer, someone who leaves an impression on you.

Our egoism has all the necessary attributes to influence others from a specifically egoistic side. And then this returns to me, and affects me. What I am unable to bring about within myself becomes possible through egoism. This is a special opportunity. You cannot simply influence yourself directly; it happens only through an external selective influence, provided you have control over these actions.

This is a truly unique phenomenon. It is precisely for this reason that the breaking of the Kelim occurred. After all, you acquire Avсhanot (inner definitions) between yourself and those around you. There are 600,000 souls, and at the boundaries between them, that is, at the edges between these cells, you find new definitions from which your spiritual body called Adam (man) is built.

It is not built from the souls themselves, but from the inner definitions that you receive through uniting with them. The connection itself occurs at the boundaries between the souls.

This can be explained as follows: I do not receive pleasure when I am very hungry or when I am already full. I feel pleasure in the middle of the process, when I am hungry from within, but on my tongue I feel the taste of food, that is, at the boundary between light and darkness. All inner definitions are acquired in the process of fulfilling the desire.

Therefore the division and unification of the parts of souls in this form builds a new Kli that the Creator did not originally create. You gather all the attributes obtained in the process of connecting with the other parts of the collective soul. From this, a new Kli is formed that previously did not exist. This new Kli is based on the shared facets of the souls in their connection with each other.

Question: What does it mean to work in the group in different states?

Answer: I must see the group in the state I want to be in myself. I must bring it to this, and then I will receive the same state from it.

If we were business partners and I ensure that everyone becomes wealthy, then I too would become wealthy. There is a condition here. If you think only about yourself, then you will not become rich, but if you think about your partners, you will, because in this way you acquire their Kelim, their wealth, their property. And with this you enter spirituality.

Question: At what pace can we artificially advance the group?

Answer: Everything that we do against our desire seems artificial to us, but these are not artificial actions. This is how it must be.

Question: How often must I inspire the friends?

Answer: Constantly, without interruption. You should not rest until the entire group is inspired.

Question: By what actions can I include a friend in myself, and unite with him?

Answer: These are very simple actions. Do toward the group what you would want it to do to you. One sentence. Look at how simple the words are that I use, as if explaining to children.

If outsiders from the street heard us, they would be surprised by our conversation. Listen to the recording of the lesson again, and you will see that without inner content, it creates the impression that we have a kindergarten here. Do not do to another what is not good for you, do to him what you desire for yourself.

Question: Recently, it has been felt that the world Kli is working in a single desire. Once, Rabash gave you advice to attack from such a state. What exactly are we attacking?

Answer: Ourselves, our heart, our laziness, our pride, and our old habits. I must rise above all these calculations.

The main thing is to dissolve among the friends and intentionally push myself into the group. That is where I want to be all the time. I want to lose my personal mind and personal feeling; I want to receive the mind and feeling of all the friends. It is as though I lose myself in them by my own will.

That means acquiring the vessel of mutual guarantee.
