Baal HaSulam writes that a prayer of many is a prayer for the many. Thus, I need at least one other, who is outside me, to pray for.
1. Of course, these speak of the same process.
2. At the end of the day, you’re asking about Atzmuto, which we don’t and can’t speak of. It’s not because it’s ‘forbidden’ but because it will turn out that with whatever we imagine, we won’t even be reaching as high as the Creator that Kabbalists speak of. We’ll just be confusing ourselves.
3. No, we still are not the Light, and we never become the Light. We remain the Will to Receive. We only become Equivalent to the Light in the form that the Will to Receive takes. In the end, there is still the Creator and Created Being, and in this, the Plan of Creation is completed.
A prayer of many is a prayer for the whole. But coming to something you all want is also part of the work. Don’t wait to turn to the Creator, but also try to arrive at something common between you.
You definitely need to find a time to do the work for the Young Group, first and foremost, otherwise the approach to Rav’s lessons will be skewed.
Rabash and Rav once came upon a horse. Rabash said, “That’s an angel.” An angel is one who goes by the instincts and all the thoughts that arise in him. The forces that push him this way, and that way, are also called angels. Gravity is an angel. Throughout the worlds are such forces of the Creator that don’t have free will, so they’re called angels.
