Question: All day I have been intensely working on the thought of how to ask for my friends in order to bring them closer to the state of Ibur (conception). How can I exert more effort in order to create a real state of attack to reach this level?
Answer: I see no other way than to act on my own, to ask for myself, and to ask for others so that we can all annul ourselves and become one common spiritual body that only thinks about annulling its egoism at the very first stage.
To annul oneself means to fully integrate into each other, to think only about others and not about oneself. In this way, we perform the most productive spiritual action that we are capable of today.
And further, based on the fact that we will go “out of ourselves” and as if entering others, a completely new state will arise—altruistic egoism, which we will apply for the sake of others, not for ourselves. This is what we need to do.
But right now, we really need an attack on our egoistic thoughts and calculations so that all of them are only for the purpose of getting included in others and working as if in the body of our friends, helping them. Therefore, it is said: “Let each one help his friend.” After all, each one cannot ask and pray for himself; only for others.
Question: When we turn to the Creator for our friends, how do we annul our own participation in this?
Answer: When I ask for my friends, I try to make it so that I do not think about myself, as if I do not exist, but only they do. And where is my personal involvement? My personal involvement is only in that I ask for them, that I extend my request on their behalf, but no more than that.
