Question: Often a person comes to study Kabbalah out of despair and is searching for the meaning of life. When does a person need a group?

Answer: When a person, according to the state of his soul and according to internal preparation in this life or previous lives, is ready to begin the right advancement toward spirituality, then he is brought into the group.

But that does not mean anything. Some people come to the group and start getting used to it very quickly. They understand that it needs to be done like this: I am in a group and must fully connect myself with it, and then together, as a team in the army, we will attain the upper world, the Creator.

Some people come to the group, but internally disagree that they should be connected to the rest. For what?! How? What does connection have to do with it?! The Creator develops them in advance in arrogance, pride, etc. In general, it is hard for them.

They do not understand at all what it means to get closer to others, to connect, i.e., they go through a completely different development system, knocking about and twitching. However, if they stay on this path, they will eventually reach great heights, but after a longer time than the others.
