I have been going through disturbances. At a point where I think that perhaps the Creator doesn’t want me to continue with this path. Because everything was rigid for me. I tried to think of my friends but to no avail. But I still kept on thinking about their spiritual growth. I kept struggling to be in the group.
As I was reading an excerpt from Rabash, a feeling popped up… For me to apply this commandment of, “Love thy friend as thyself,” I must know exactly what I want. I have been worried and wanting to know exactly what I want so that I can aim correctly. I feel restless.1- what work can I do to know exactly what I want so that I can work correctly?  Because I am tired of just thinking about them. I want to feel it and making it their aim. I am tired of walking around the cycle. I want to know exactly what I want so that I can bestow to my friend.
I have also be in that kind of a situation. This is the moment where you truly need to give the friends the importance of the goal.
If my friends are my other vessels, and if I see a flaw amongst my friends, for example, He speaks for too long or maybe he think he knows too much, are these flaws? Where do I place the correction? Or my friends are just like a mirror to attaining adhesion with the Creator?
I don’t know if i formulate the question well.
Concerning love and connection of friends
Sorry to use this example. Very important at this moment.
In the corporeal world, a man can fall in love with a lady and the reason could be the way the lady dresses or it could be her beauty. It could be many reasons why a man can fall in love with a lady. Their beauty attracts us to them and sooner or later we have some kind of coupling or intimacy together.
. In spirituality, what attract me to the friend? And is intimacy another word for connection?
. Does love precede intimacy?
Concerning the love of friends| The inner work
In the corporeal world, we give importance to those we consider valuable in society. And what makes them important? I think it is because of the excess amount of money they have. That gives them importance.
In spirituality, I need to see my friends as more important to me than to myself.
1- What is that specific thing that makes them (my friends) important? Because in corporeality, one of the specific things that makes people important is money.
2- What does the word important mean in the context of Kabbalists?
Thank you.
