We read this article in our ten and were a little confused by the content. This excerpt in particular:
Letter No. 37 Rabash – from The Social Writings
“.. the devotion of the friends was that of ordinary people, where each one cares only about his friend’s corporeality, not about his spirituality. Now you know for sure that this is the only way it should be ..”
He goes on to discuss Buy Yourself a Friend and Make for Yourself a Rav, but this was the first time any of us had heard that focusing on the friends corporeality should come before their spirituality. I think I remember hearing the exact opposite ..? Is this a reference to another type of method?
I also vaguely remember hearing that working in a group of 10 is a new method (decade or so) .. which contradicts the teaching that the sages revealed the Zohar in a 10 many centuries ago. Did I hear wrong?
The article leaves a lot of room for interpretation, could you help us clarify?
It was in an article we read and I remember you mentioning it in one of these videos ..
I’m thinking its a reference to the ability of the corrected vessel to move through egoism voluntarily and uncontaminated. Or the light that comes with that state.
