Right and left, mercy and judgment. Israel are to the right and the idol worshipping nations are to the left.

Israel, even when they are wicked and yielding, they are on the right; they do not cling to the left, and never mingle with it.

This is why it is written, “Save with Your right hand, and answer me,” for when the right ascends, Israel—who cling to it—rise and are crowned in it.

Then the left side and all who come with it surrender, as it is written, “Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy” (The Book of Zohar, Chapter “Shmini,” Item 25).

We do not need to concentrate on the left line, because if you begin delving into those desires, it will seem to you as though you are clarifying something and rebelling against your evil qualities. But in the meantime, you become connected to them, and that is not good.

We should try not to notice them, as though they do not exist. We do not want to deal with them. Instead, we should constantly strive toward the right side! And when you aspire toward the spiritual goal, toward adhesion with the Creator, toward the upper degree, toward bestowal, its light will correct you and your egoistic desires (the left side).

You yourself will never be able to fight against them, and it is better not to engage with them at all. The left line awakens within you only so that you will cling even more strongly to the right line. This is our path.

But a person turns to the left line and imagines himself a hero, capable of working with these desires and defeating them. No! The Creator will defeat them for you! The Creator fights this battle, not you.

We do not have the strength for it. One who aspires to the Creator is small and weak; he is incapable of fighting on his own. The Creator arranges everything for us. All we need is to want it to happen—to ask!

Therefore, all our work is called the Creator’s work, because the upper force, the upper degree, the Creator, performs all the actions, while we only express our desire for them to take place.

Our entire work is to desire this in advance. This is called: “I awaken the dawn,” like a horse that obediently moves forward, sensing the rider’s desire even before the rider gives the command.

From Daily Kabbalah Lesson on 11/1/10, The Book of Zohar, Chapter “Shemini”

It is said about the embryo: “The mother gives him the red part, the father the white part, and the Creator the soul.”

A frequent problem in the work is that we forget about the third component, about the Creator, who must finish all the work for us.

A person makes tremendous efforts and then wonders: where is the desired result?

They fail to realize that they are not bringing this action to completion, because they forget that all their actions must begin and end with the Creator, with the upper force. The person stands in the middle.

In the same way, we ascend from the initial state (one) to the final state (three); we emerge from infinity and return to infinity.

Along the way we develop and correct ourselves, either by the path of suffering or by the path of light. In any case, it is the light that works, and we only add our desire. We do not correct ourselves; we only accelerate our development.

Yet, a person usually forgets that he is only one of the components of his development, one that slightly intensifies it, and because of this feeling how the action changes from bad to good.

But the action itself takes place by virtue of forces that already exist in nature. The main thing here is the force of the Creator.

If a person does not draw the Creator to his aid so that He will complete the action, this third component, absent from his picture of nature, then not a single action is brought to completion, and therefore the person remains as he was!

This is a well-known mistake that often remains unnoticed. And there is only one solution: to turn to the group for help.

If there is a common opinion in the group that the Creator is the main force that determines the outcome of the action, then each one included in the group will not forget about this. Then he will not have to experience the bitter disappointment of having worked so much and having achieved nothing.

Seek the Creator (as it is said: “By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves,” Song of Songs) and remember that a person is not able to win this battle by himself, there is also a partner.

And without Him, a person has only an empty desire, which gradually dies out like a small flame.

Question: Are you saying that the entire path of technological progress, technological revolutions, and even the Nobel Prizes awarded for them have ultimately brought harm to humanity?

Answer: Everything! All of it exists only so that we may recognize the evil within it. Can you imagine how I must sound saying this?

Question: Do you realize what you are challenging? Everything!

Answer: Everything! Absolutely everything!

Comment: Scholarships, scientific research, universities, factories, industries, everything.

My Response: Until a person understands what all of it is truly for, nothing should be placed in his hands, not even a small gadget, let alone an atomic bomb. Otherwise, this is exactly what happens. Our entire life is spent neutralizing the negative effects that this progress has on us.

Question: So our present condition is, in a way, the consequence of this progress? All these downfalls, all these viruses?

Answer: Yes. We do nothing but neutralize its negative consequences.

Question: Then would you stop all technological progress?

Answer: All of our progress has been aimed solely at allowing us to act egoistically, however we please. to behave selfishly without suffering the consequences.

Question: Under what condition is technological progress beneficial and necessary?

Answer: Only to the extent that it helps us become more closely connected with one another.

Question: Only if that is its purpose?

Answer: Yes. We do not realize where egoism leads us when it is the only thing we develop. Everything that comes from it ultimately becomes harmful, and in the end, it will have to be stopped. I am not advocating that people suddenly reject everything, as some do today. I am speaking about the overall course of humanity.

Comment: So we should not give up medicine, of course.

My Response: We should not give up anything. We simply need to behave correctly toward nature. Wherever you can act according to the law of connection, goodness, love, and so on, act! Everything else should be set aside. Then you will see how everything begins to form a completely different picture.

Comment: You realize that you will receive a flood of letters and comments saying that you are against progress, against the development of humanity.

My Response: I am in favor of reasonable progress, which consists of combining the egoistic and altruistic forces of nature so that they work together. Both the left line and the right line are necessary, but there must also be the middle line that guides them forward.

Question: On that basis, will the process that follows be correct? Precisely because of this combination?

Answer: Yes. But at some point, we departed from this correct relationship with nature and began developing in only one direction—for the sake of egoism alone.

Question: Is that why we have wrecked the environment?

Answer: Yes, everything! Not only the environment; we have ruined the human being!

Question: We have discussed how a person must come to a state of complete disappointment regarding one’s own powers. How, can this be reconciled with the need to say: “If I am not for myself, who is for me?”

Answer: In every state, a person must say: “If I am not for myself, who is for me?” If I have completely despaired of my own strength, then what? Does that mean everything is over for me?

Does this mean I am saying: “That is it! The Creator must help me!”? But how do I know when that should happen? Perhaps it is now or perhaps only ten years from now? Should I constantly wish to reach a state of despair?

On the contrary, I know that it is precisely from such a state that the leap into spirituality takes place. As Baal HaSulam writes in one of his letters in A Sage’s Fruit:

There is no happier state in man’s world than when he finds himself despaired with his own strength, that is, he has already labored and done all that he could possibly imagine he could do, but found no remedy. It is then that he is fit for a wholehearted prayer for the Creator’s help. And the Creator hears such a prayer.

So now am I supposed to strive to become disappointed with my own abilities? No! If I did that, I would never reach that state. I must constantly press forward with the thought: “If I am not for myself, who is for me?”

And if, at times, it is revealed to me that I am incapable of it, so be it. Then I am incapable, but I still continue moving forward, toward a new state, toward new attempts. As Baal HaSulam explains: “If you fail in one endeavor, then begin another. And if that also fails, start yet another.”

You are living, you continue working and continue making attempts. When will complete disappointment in one’s own powers finally be revealed? We do not know.

It reaches a point that Nachshon (the brave one) jumps into the sea, wanting to cross it by his own strength, and only then does the sea part. He jumps. He does not wait around thinking, “Well, the Creator ought to arrange everything now. My enemies are behind me, the sea is before me. Since I have been placed in such a situation, I will just cry out and throw up my hands.”

No. We do not raise our hands and surrender. We jump into the sea. There has to be a leap. Your task is to jump.

Question: And what about “There is none else besides Him”?

Answer: “There is none else besides Him” is not referring to that at all. It means that behind every situation and every state stands the Creator.

But I accept this only as the result of what has already happened, only as the outcome.

Question: When Nachshon jumps into the sea, is he trying to end his life, or is he hoping for a miracle?

Answer: When one jumps into the sea, one does not count on a miracle.

Likewise, we do not jump because we want to end our lives, we jump because we want to live. We want to cross this sea.

A person simply has no other choice, and therefore does everything within one’s power. They believe that they can cross the Final Sea (Yam Suf) through their own efforts. It is not so much a matter of belief; rather, they have no alternative, and on the other hand, this is simply the only correct course of action.

If We Know That Everything Is the Creator’s Work, How Can We Feel That the Work Itself Is the Reward?

If we are in the sensation of Godliness, then we understand that the work itself is the reward and that there is nothing higher than it.

Question: Can you give an example of a request just off the top of your head?

Answer: Let’s say I have a habit of stealing. I have been caught many times, beaten for it, imprisoned, and so on. Eventually, I come to the conclusion that stealing only harms me.

I begin asking the Creator for help. But I see that it does not help much. Then I start thinking: “Why is it not helping?” It turns out that doesn’t help much because I am asking Him only because I want my life to be better; it is not because I want to become a better person, but because I want things to be better for me. In that case, He does really help.

But if I ask Him to truly make me a better person, then He will help me. Everything depends on the purity of the request, on how much it is directed toward others, and how far removed it is from my own egoism.

Comment: When I ask for things to be better for me, there is no answer. But when I ask to become better, we have changed only one word here.

My Response: Yes, then there is an answer. Why? Because when I ask for things to be better for me, even if t not through stealing, that is, it is practically a form of stealing. He doesn’t really help with that. But when I ask for things to be better for others, then yes.

Question: So that I become better in my relationship with others? And in that way I myself become better?

Answer: Yes. When it pains me that I am taking from others, then, if I ask Him for help, it will work.

Question: What does it mean to reveal the Creator?

Answer: Revealing the Creator means revealing the cause of one’s state.

Question: Is it necessary to remember that the Creator is the cause?

Answer: It is impossible to remember. A person, according to his preparation and his environment, can reach a state when he immediately feels the root of what is happening.

In every state, he will feel the Creator hiding behind the reality surrounding him. And instead of thinking and fearing “How should I act, what should I do? The judges want to put me in jail. There, they want to beat me, here, everyone is angry with me, and there is something else going on…,” he immediately sees the root of the problem.

16. Preparing the Sensation

During the period of preparation and upon entering spirituality, there are many actions we need to undergo. These include passing through special spiritual states called “birth,” “conception” (Ibur), “nurturing” (Yenika), and “mind” (Mochin), or “smallness, infancy” (Katnut), and “greatness, adulthood” (Gadlut).

When we are already in spirituality, in the sensation of Godliness, we go through various stages called 24 hours of the spiritual day. In The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 12, we learn how prayer is continuously divided into these 24 hours. Even sleep (the departure of the Mochin) is not rest. Instead, it is a special preparation for the next stage, and within it too there is much inner work in every single state.

That is, spirituality speaks of states in which we need to seemingly exert great effort in order to perform certain corrections and connections.

However, here it is written differently: “There is none as holy as the Lord, for there is no one besides You.” Meaning, everything is the Creator’s work. The Creator performs all the work. It is His work. The person has nothing to do but reach the sensation that indeed “there is none as holy as the Lord,” that “there is no one besides the Creator” who performs all actions. The Creator is responsible for both the planning and the execution, and in whom the result also resides. Our entire work and efforts are only to feel what is truly happening to us, and to feel it as correctly as possible.

Therefore, we learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah that all the degrees and states, from the present state to the future, even to what is called “the future to come” (which means after the final correction), are states that we exist in now. The states exist, we only need to experience them, one after another.

We can pass through them only by the force of movement, which is the light that corrects and fills us at every stage. That is advancement. This light acts upon us without any intervention on our part. Even the request for the light to come and correct us is a special request that we cannot generate by ourselves since we do not know what the light is, what we should be drawn to, what we should yearn for, or what we should attain.

We only need to pay attention to what is happening to us, what the Creator wants from us, and what the Creator is operating upon us at this very moment. In other words, we need to be sensitive to our contact with Godliness.

The moment we fully feel a state, it changes. When we have felt, absorbed, and accepted it, the state becomes ours. Afterward, we must once again sharpen our senses in order to equalize our form and feel the next state. In this too, of course, the Creator acts upon us, but we must make some effort to intensify our yearning. That is, we must actualize the yearning that the Creator gives us, or become aware of the yearning that we receive from above, and in such a way we advance.

Therefore, we learn in Kabbalah that all these states—birth, conception, nurturing, and Mochin—are carried out by the upper one. The preparation that we make is only to sharpen our sensitivity. We must be ready for the actions the Creator performs.

This means that opposite the holiness (Kedusha) from above, we must prepare our holiness from below.

Comment: When you suggest something new (for example, a “spiritual stimulant,” people say: “Here goes Laitman with another new scheme. Later, there will be something different.”

My Response: Of course there will be!

We are looking for a way to create something that constantly unites us, helps us adjust to each other, keeps us together, and compels us to return to the same fundamental question. This is a pressing issue for us, and it is not going away. It can be in this form, or in a different form, or in a third. We shall see!

Comment: There are people who take a passive, waiting stance, andothers who are active. As a rule, newcomers tend to be more active.

My Response: Those who wait around lose! Spirituality is not like our world where you can dodge responsibility and do nothing. Here, you work for yourself and not for a boss! So, if people want to pass us by, let them. I am not driving anyone with a stick.

Question: What is the importance of a “spiritual stimulant?” Is it dictated by forces from above?

Answer: No, we have advanced to a state where we have to work on unity. The “stimulant” is a means for uniting. Come up with something different, more productive, and we will be happy to switch to it. Why not, if there is something more effective?

Question: What does nature want from us?

Answer: Nature wants us to want to be good and kind.

Question: Is that all?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Stop being evil and become good? What do you mean by “good and kind”?

Answer: Good and kind means that absolutely everyone is truly pleased with you. Not in this world. This cannot happen in our world. Those egoists around us… .

Question: So, I am not just playing along with those who want… ?

Answer: No. When I speak about humanity and about nature in general, I mean
a completely different level of existence.

Question: When will they be pleased with me? What is the goodness they expect
from me?

Answer: When I correct them, and they become absolutely good,
perfect, and corrected.

Question: Correct whom?

Answer: All people.

Question: I have to correct all people?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this my job? Correcting things is the Creator’s job!

Answer: It is your duty.

Question: Perhaps I need to correct myself rather than all the others around me?

Answer: This is how you correct yourself.

Question: By correcting all people, I correct myself?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: This is something new. By correcting myself, I correct people.

My Response: It is the same thing.

Question: Is it really the same thing?

Answer: Of course. You see yourself in people.

Question: So, if I help with their correction, I am thereby correcting myself?

Answer: It is one and the same! You see a reflection of yourself. In this way, you correct the Creator.

Question: Every sentence is a revolution. The Creator needs to be corrected?

Answer: Of course. We have to create Him!

Question: Is He imperfect? Is He not constant?

Answer: He does not exist at all; you have to create Him! Constantly strive to make Him better and better.

Comment: We will never unravel this riddle.

My Response: No. Nor do we need to!

Question: So we should just leave it at that? Create the Creator?

Answer: Yes. That is exactly what is written in the Torah: “You have made Me.”
[358164]
From KabTV’s “News with Dr. Michael Laitman,” 6/20/26

Question: You say that if I correct myself, the entire world will appear corrected to me. Then why are so many Kabbalists needed to correct the world if the world is within me?

Answer: To correct the world means to correct yourself. You do not exist in some vast external world and the people you see do not exist by chance; they are parts of your soul.

Therefore, besides you and the Creator, there is no one else. Everything you see— the still, vegetative, animate, and human levels—is you; they are all parts of your soul! By uniting them within yourself, you will attain complete unity with the Creator. This will be your complete correction.

From Kabbalah Lesson on Russian, 8/19/18

Question: What is wrong with us, what is our ailment?

Answer: Our ailment lies in the fact that we cannot distinguish good from evil, and we cannot gather the good within ourselves and integrate it in such a way that it gradually covers the evil. It is a very difficult path.

Question: So, we will be searching for this good? Something to take, like a pill, in order to escape the evil? In other words, regarding evil, will we come to feel that we are complete egoists?

Answer: That is precisely what will be considered evil.

Question: And will we understand that it is evil?

Answer: Of course.

Question: And then we will ask for some kind of remedy?

Answer: Yes. Because through the suffering, we are already drawing an illumination of benevolent light that can reveal to us where our evil actually lies.

Comment: Is this the most important thing? We always come back to this point. You constantly lead us toward this point: for a person to look and see themselves as they are: evil, bad, and flawed. Usually people are told the opposite: “There is still something good in you; you are capable; you can succeed.”

My Response: That exists only as a starting point. But who are you really? You are absolute evil. Yet, there is a spark within you that will guide you. And you need to fan it into a flame.

From KabTV’s “News with Dr. Michael Laitman,” 6/15/26

Question: What are these states in which we must seek the Creator?

Answer: Every state originates in its spiritual root, descends into our world, and clothes itself in various material forms. Through these garments, I must find the connection with the one who arranged this situation for me; I must discover the origin and the cause of what is taking place.

Everything that descends to me from Him through all the spiritual worlds, through the various bodies of this world, and through all kinds of circumstances; I must relate all of it back to the Creator. Under no circumstances should I think that there are any other forces besides the Creator.
[358265]
From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 6/23/26, Rabash, “What Is the Importance of the Groom, that His Iniquities Are Forgiven?”

Question: When a person searches for the source of their state and seeks connection with the Creator, is there any point in asking why these states are being sent to us?

Answer: The Creator always gives us the states that are necessary according to the root of our soul. He reveals the Reshimot that we must go through at a given stage so that, from within those states, we may attain Him and establish connection with Him. It is not for us to choose those states.

One should not delve into them, searching for something that, in one’s opinion, would bring a stronger or deeper connection with the Creator. There is no need for that. Rather, in every state, one should grasp the Creator as the cause of that situation.

As soon as I begin seeking contact with the upper one in every circumstance, I make an effort. Yes—no, yes—no; I am tossed from one state to another, and they continually change.

When, in states of fear and anxiety, a person begins to relate them to the Creator, then within that very point, within that sensation, one perceives a connection with the divine. Then the Creator conceals Himself once again, and the person again experiences fear, like a child frightened by an imaginary bear.

The Creator alternately reveals Himself and conceals Himself, and accordingly the person alternately finds a connection with the upper one and then loses it again. One should always seek to reveal the cause; one should disengage from the superficial view of reality and engage one’s inner vision.

Does a Person Who Turns to the Creator Imagine Him as He Truly Is?

If a person turns to the Creator, they are directing themselves correctly at what the Creator is. They still do not see Him. They will see Him later when the Creator helps them and grants them the sensation of adhesion. However, they are already aimed at the Creator.

This can be illustrated as follows: A person searches for the Creator on their own, knowing He is behind a curtain, and calls out, “Where are You? Where!?” When they feel they are incapable of finding the Creator by themselves, they become disappointed and cry out in frustration, “Reveal where You are!”

This is a sign that the person is truly now standing before the Creator. And at that point, the Creator will answer them.

From a Talk on the Article “When Is One Considered ‘A Worker of the Creator’ in the Work?” 6/10/2002

There is nothing more natural for a person than to seek the cause of every state they experience. There are many jokes about children asking their parents questions like, “Where did I come from? How did I come to this world?”

Adults mistakenly assume that children are interested in the process of conception itself. Of course, this is not the case. A child would never have such a thought in mind. Indeed, this is a very profound and natural question for a human being: “Where did I come from?” It is a question about the root, about the Creator.

Why is humanity trying to find out what happened millions of years ago and what knowledge the ancient civilizations possessed? We are searching for the source because we believe that once we discover it, we will find out why we exist. Humanity wants to find that initial point from which everything began; it believes that it holds the answer to what all this is for and what it ultimately will come to in the end.

Children also ask this question in search of their root. There is no question more natural than the question of the source of life. Therefore, the science of Kabbalah is the closest to the inner nature of a human being; it is closest to our essence.

If a person sees the Creator in every state, the one who has arranged that state for him, and instantly connects this situation with Him, tracing the cause-and-effect connection, then one completely corrects that state and derives maximum spiritual benefit from it.

Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 157

If the Final Disappointment Comes Only at the End of the Path, Why Should We Constantly Remind Ourselves About “There Is None Else Besides Him”?

If a person finally despairs and then turns to the Creator only at the end of the path, why do we constantly say, “There is none else besides Him”? Why must we turn to Him all the time? It seems one could sit, wait, forget about Him, and work within oneself as if He does not exist, until one eventually becomes disappointed with everything, and subsequently some “point” in the mind and heart will awaken and remind us to turn to Him.

The matter is that if we are not unceasingly relating to “There is none else besides Him,” then all the effort we seemingly make on our own is directed at another goal. We miss the target and do not advance in the right direction.

What is disappointment in our own strength? It is disappointment meant to establish that “There is none else besides Him.” That is the true point of disappointment.

What does it mean to reach the final correction? We are in a certain state right now. What does it mean to reach the final correction in this state? It means to reach it with everything we currently have. We do not know what else we will have later or whether there will even be anything more than what we have now. Perhaps what we have attained up until now is already the final correction and there are no further degrees? How can we know where we stand on the ladder? We do not know anything.

If we can now completely and absolutely connect our qualities within ourselves, the state we are in, and our environment (both our inner and surrounding conditions), together with the Creator, and if we can bind all these factors into one unified whole without any difference between them, this constitutes our final correction.

What will take place on the next degree and whether it even exists, who knows? Perhaps everything is about to become revealed in the next moment? We should not think about what will be. We need to act now.

If at this point we become disappointed in our own strength and turn to the Creator, that is the best possible action. Why?

It is because if we truly attempt to connect these three variables together, we arrive at the awareness that we cannot. This is a sign that we truly directed ourselves at uniting these three factors. It is like a person who aims a rifle, where they align their eye, the barrel, and the target into one straight line. If we cry out to the Creator that we are incapable, this is a sign that we have indeed found Him. If we are not precisely directing our appeal to the Creator, we still believe that we can succeed by our own strength.

If we truly turn to the Creator and the Creator performs this unification for us at our degree, it is as though we are in the final correction. We acquire an inner light, a spiritual standing, perhaps a part of the final correction. But how would we know it is only a part? We would not. We do not know everything, and accordingly, we do not know the value of that part within the overall picture. Kabbalists say there are another 620 such states until a person reaches the final correction.

A person becomes disappointed with trying to unite Israel, the Torah, and the Creator as one. Only from this work do we despair. This is the work, and it is what “There is none else besides Him” means. We despair of our inability to accomplish this unification. There is nothing else to do but this.

Moreover, if we despair at being unable to make this unification and turn to the Creator, it is a sign that we are indeed close to unity, perhaps already within it, because we turn to the Creator from the very state we have reached and want to connect the two: “There is none else besides Him.” What else is there besides this? It is that tightly connected.

This is the sign that we have truly turned to the Creator and not to something we imagined to be the Creator. It is the test that we have directed our path and our vision precisely at Him.

Question: If the cause of our states is constant, what changes? Is it the states themselves?

Answer: Yes, states change, the form they are clothed in changes, but the cause remains the same. The cause is the lack of the revelation of the divine in you, in your matter, in your desire.

Let us put it this way: a person is a “black box” divided into thousands of cells. In each cell, the degree of revelation of the Creator is different.

For example, the Creator wants you to reveal Him in a certain place right now. So the Creator arranges a specific state for you in which you reveal Him. Through this, you bring about the correction of that state and receive the next one. This continues until you reveal the Creator in every single cell, until you have corrected all states.

From all the states sent to you, you somehow reveal the divine presence. At the same time, these states intensify your desire for spirituality and provide a deeper understanding of reality and experience. You transition from double to single concealment.
[358276]
From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 6/23/26, Rabash, “What Is the Importance of the Groom, that His Iniquities Are Forgiven?”

Question: How does the transition from double concealment to single concealment happen?

Answer: The transition from double to single concealment takes place here, within this world, slowly and gradually. A person fluctuates between one state and the other, and thereby gradually moves to a state of simple concealment.

What is single concealment? It is when, against the backdrop of any event that happens to me, I feel it is sent from above, that the Creator is behind all this. Gradually, this feeling begins to accompany a person constantly, and one lives with it even before the Machsom (spiritual barrier). This happens much earlier, accumulates and manifests in our sensations.
[357940]
From the Daily Kabbalah Lesson 6/13/26, Rabash, “And the Lord Appeared to Him at the Oaks of Mamre”

Question: What role does the group play when we go through different states?

Answer: We need the group for several reasons. Actually, there is only one reason, but since the Creator is still hidden from us, this reason is divided into several sub-reasons in relation to me. At first, I feel the group reminds me of the importance of spiritual work. Its influence helps me get back on track with my work. Without a group, I lose the correct direction.

All this is just at the beginning of the path. As I progress, I begin to see the group as a part of my soul. The spiritual construction is designed in such a way that there is a part of my soul in each person, and ultimately, I must unite with each of them. I do not know how yet, but I will have to do it somehow.

We are taught that all this is arranged as a pyramid. I have to unite with everyone, but not in the same measure. I connect with some souls on the inanimate level (Domem), with others on the vegetative level (Tzmeach), and with others on the living level (Chai). In other words, I unite with all the parts of Adam HaRishon‘s common soul, but with each on a different level of unity.

Ultimately, I need friends around me who I can work with as one Kli (vessel). They and I will function as organs of one body, one Kli. That is how we must work. Indeed, we see the most advanced and effective designs in our world are based on this method.

A person alone simply cannot advance. All he can do is somehow come to realize, over millennia, that he cannot break into spirituality alone. Anyone who flees from society is completely hopeless.
