      How do we come to that state where you feel the friends desire for spirituality just as feeling our desire for corporeality?

      • #392778

        That’s by serving them, especially that desire which we wish to come to feel.

          How do we serve the friends correctly or how do we serve that desire with which we want to feel?

          That is the issue. It is quite difficult to serve something you can’t identify. We just have this imaginary sense of serving. Even the evil inclination, my true self. How do we come to identify with it that it is evil and need some kind of spice? Everything seems to be imaginary.

          No, it’s so straightforward that we think it has to be something else. Help the friends reach the goal. They’ll reach it if they’re inspired, if you set the right examples for them.

      When the friends gather together, with one heart and each thinking on achieving bestowal,… Should I love them and see and feel only that desire in them, that aspiration towards the Creator? And why must we not forget that each of us are thinking and desiring the same think? What does that give or add to us?

      • #392107

        The friend is actually his aspiration toward the goal. That’s the friend that I want to connect with – with which I can reach the goal.

      Hello Gianni,

      if “what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours” is sodomy, what is “what is mine is mine and what is yours is mine”?

      Thank you.

      • #391938

        Sodom is already a serious degree compared to our world where everyone wants theirs and then to milk everyone else for the max possible. That’s called “what’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine.”

      Since Yom Kippur is approaching, I have something on my mind, we have learned that in Kabbalah, restricting yourself of Material things, food, etc. fasting, will not do anything for you spiritually, all you need is desire, And I agree, (at least speaking from an individual perspective). But I read in a blog article from Rav Laitman Called  “the detriments and benefits of fasting” Where he says that fasting is not an individual effort, but a “group” effort, only then it is elevated. Do any groups/TEN’s  fast? Or am i misunderstanding?

      • #391113

        In Israel where this is the nation’s custom, we fast. There’s something to it, but it’s not a must for those who live outside Israel.

      Hi Gianni,

      I would really appreciate your advise on a repeating situation (2 YGs). What to do when there is an abusive friend who always demands something and imagines that they are the biggest bestower and, the rest are leeches that suck their energy for selfish reasons and uses every situation, every interaction to provoke, to dominate, to scold? We are tiptoing at every meeting, at every interaction. We tried everything: covering with love, praying, asking for change, and guidance, but nothing seemed to work. We asked for help, but that also didn’t change things. This time I tried to stay away from the bully and didn’t engage much (first YG I tried to reason with them, but to no avail), but after more than few weeks of this behavior, I don’t really want to go to meetings anymore, or engage in the chat, or anything really. I no longer know what to do or how to relate to this. I don’t have a feeling that I am in Kabbalistic group anymore, but rather a psychiatric session. Can you please advise? Thank you a million in advance!

        If it’s like you’re saying and all the ten feels that way, then there’s a misconception about what the ten is for and we need to look into it.

        • #391071

          Thank you Gianni, but can you please advise who is “we” that need to look into it and what does looking into it mean exactly?

        • #391112

          The team will address it. Thanks for bringing it up.

      Hi, Gianni,

      Related to Maria’s question and to something we learned in the YG (“Mighty Rock of my Salvaton”, where it talks about the force we should not receive fuel from): When I am trying to connect to my friends and bestow, should I be worried that they might receive whatever I want to give in Klipot? Should I try to protect them from that by refraining from bestowing something that I think they may receive in their egoistic vessels? Or should that not be my concern, as it doesn’t seem to be a concern to the Creator. Should I try to bestow like the Creator, without care where it goes, trusting that the system itself will not allow the vessels of reception to receive any light that is not meant for them? Or should I try to make the calculation when, what and to whom to bestow?  Thank you!

      • #390644

        There’s something to all that, but generally all I can bestow is the importance of the goal, my example; and with this there is no room to harm them.

          Thank you, Gianni! One more related question has come up. Do we attain the work in bestowal individually or is it something that appears simultaneously to all of us in the ten like this team-building game where the people in a circle all lean back into each other’s lap at the same time?

        • #391062

          No, each according to their efforts, the root of the soul…
