933As the holiday season and the start of the new year approach, a question arises: “How should we best prepare for it?”

I believe that all the people of Israel living in this land understand the unique situation we are going through. It demands unity and solidarity from us as well as the strength to withstand our enemies who surround us from all sides. We must be prepared for this and confident that if we act in this way, we will succeed.

Everything depends on us. If we desire it, the land of Israel will be ours. These two states—our breakthrough into the spiritual world and our physical resistance to the enemies of the people of Israel are interconnected and are drawing closer together.

The more prepared we are for spiritual revelation, the more likely we are to secure the physical land of Israel. One influences the other. This connection is very positive and clear and is becoming more evident with each passing day as we can see in the recent series of successful military operations.

Baal HaSulam explains in detail in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” the connection between internality and externality. Therefore, the more unity and solidarity we have, the more success we will achieve in the corporeal realm. This is a very favorable situation, and the most important thing is not to miss this opportunity, not to show weakness toward our enemies, or hostility toward one another.

If we establish open, heartfelt relationships filled with love and unity among us, we can conquer the entire world through the force of good. Forces of kindness, unity, and togetherness will emanate from us, and the world will gladly accept and use them. This is a very favorable time for such a transformation.

The correction that we have been unable to achieve for thousands of years is now possible. Let’s hope, with God’s help, that we succeed.

What is this opportunity that is opening now that was not available before? Previously we did not have such a dedicated and tangible form of connection that determines both our current existence and our future. But now we can rise, and with our unique force we can compel nature, the Creator, to bring us to the pinnacle of existence.

We just need to desire for this to happen and bring order to our relationships as they should be: between individuals, between tens, between men’s and women’s groups, and between children as much as possible. The strengthening of the unity we achieve between us will inevitably change reality. The entire people of Israel united around our group will implement this connection in practice.

We must become the center of unity, not for the sake of being central, but for the sake of the connection itself. Everyone will be ready to give all their light for this. To break through into spirituality, each person must have only one thought—how to fill their friend’s heart. Entering a friend’s heart means conquering the land of Israel. In this way, we will achieve complete correction. After all, a friend’s heart for me is the land of Israel.

938.07Question: What is the connection of the ten? Is it a process or an achievable result?

Answer: Connection is the only spiritual action. We can unite in tens, hundreds, or thousands, depending on the scale we are satisfied with.

It is a process of ascending the degrees of the spiritual ladder where we feel a constant elevation and revelation at each step of our connection with the Creator.

Question: Is our task before the congress is to reach some minimal degree of connection?

Answer: How it turns out depends on you.

Question: When will this happen? What do we need to go through and feel? How many hearts must be opened to achieve even a minimal result?

Answer: You can open your collective heart today; there are no limitations. As much as you desire, that much you will ascend in the qualities of bestowal, love, and connection.

549.01Question: How do you distinguish a descent from an ordinary bad mood?

Answer: An ordinary bad mood can happen, for example, if your child broke your favorite cup or you are having trouble at work. These also have their causes, but they are not directly related to your spiritual state.

In spiritual work, an descent is when the significance of spirituality diminishes in your eyes.

549.02Question: How can we drink coffee for the sake of bestowal when we are sitting in a lesson?

Answer: As you take a sip of coffee think that by doing so, you are passing on all the enjoyment you receive from that sip to your friend.

If you connect to your friend with your Kli (vessel), then everything you receive in that Kli is also received by your friend. Therefore, you direct your intention toward your friend.

In this process, the Creator serves as the source that fills both of you. By receiving from Him, you bring Him contentment.
