Is it appropriate to send uplifting messages with intention to bring connection to the group in personal Telegram messages and not in the group messages. I.E. new Friends enter the group and they are making great efforts to arrange their schedules to make group meetings – send them a personal note of appreciation or if a Friend is felt to be leaving a meeting really down send them a personal message of their importance to the group and try to uplift them?
Hi, my name is Joseph. I am a second semester Young Group student with Bnei Baruch. I am taking course in order to draw more reforming light to increase the connection in the Ten group that I am in.
Does the covenant made to love the Friends in the Ten continue after a Friend is separated by a corporeal death? Is there something the Ten can do to help the Friend’s point in the heart make it back to the path quickly or is this solely the Creator’s providence?
In the 2/13 Monday afternoon lesson with the Rav, (around the 27 min. mark) when Rav was asked about his responses to a woman in the Kavkaz 1 Ten, Rav stated that he did not like her, she is mischievous, I relate to her badly, don’t like her specifically, that the women in the Ten need to pray for her correction, women need to defend her to the Rav so he will see she is a good Friend, Rav states he does not see she is a good Friend, they, the Ten, said she is a good Friend, Rav states he does not feel this. I do not understand the command for the Ten to pray for the correction of the Friend to have better connection with the Rav, as I thought, if I am having difficulty relating to another in the Ten or Group then it was the Creator giving me specifically something to work on and it was for me to ask the Creator for my correction? Any insight on this would be welcomed.
Gianni’s invitation to write down one’s favorite excerpt from the sources, with motivation why so, as ‘homework” for his young group:
Baal Hasulam – Shamati I Heard
208. Labor
The efforts that one makes are but preparations for achieving devotion. Hence, one should grow accustomed to devotion, since no degree can be achieved without devotion, as this is the only tool that qualifies one to be rewarded with all the degrees.This writing is important to me as it gives clear instruction that devotion to the Friends, Creator, and the path is the only tool that qualifies one for rewards of the degrees. A tool to evolve human collective egotistical nature to shorten the days of blows. A call for me to show up and do what the Creator is requesting.
