The Group And The Creator    

The Creator and the group are still not one and the same for me.  

Why is there still a difference for me between the Creator and other people?  

From the Creator, I have some kind of pleasure, but from the group I don't. I don't ask anything from them. The confusion you have between the Creator and others is a good thing. Go over all the questions. We will arrange them according to order, and we will constantly go over them, clarifying them again and again. That is our work; that's the work of the Creator, to be involved with these clarifications as much as possible. Write down as many questions as possible and ask. Then go into the new website and read; there everything is orderly.

The Others

Who are the "others" according to the Wisdom of Kabbalah?

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, one only discovers who the "others" are when a need for arriving at love of the Creator exists in him. And then in accordance to that, the others are opened before him. This means that first the point in the heart needs to awaken in him, which brings him to the question: "What is the purpose in our life?" and the answer: "Taste and see that the Creator is good." And then, when the need to reach the love of the Creator is there, he discovers that first he needs to arrive at love of others, and that is when the question of the others is opened before him.

He begins to realize that for him the others are the friends in the group. Just as the writers of The Zohar say, that  people who hate each other gather. When hatred and turmoil is revealed in the group, this is when friends in the group are called "others," and through love to them one arrives at love of the Creator.

Why does it have to be a group? There are many people that we hate naturally; why do we have to reach love especially with those that are in the group? It's because the love toward them has to be with a purpose. I need to choose them because they are the means for me to arrive at love of the Creator. In other words, I need them as a means, a system, as those who influence me and those whom I influence, and so forth. And then, according to my attitude towards them, I discover my attitude towards the Creator: hate more, love more, ready more, ready less, and so on. The approach towards the Creator can only be in bestowal, and in the group I have a chance to check and see how much I am in it. And if there is a difference in me between the group and the Creator, this difference is my ego, because without the ego, there is no difference at all.
