Arrangement of Building the Deficiency
How does one work correctly in building the deficiency so that it brings one to a state of prayer?
Each state that I receive has been designed by the Upper Force that expects me to respond. In the beginning one has to understand that the state I received from the Creator is perfect. This means that there is no better state for my advancement. If I feel the state as bad it means that I blame the Creator, feel that he is not good and bestowing. This means that I don’t succeed in locating myself with the group and with the Creator, with the attribute of bestowal. And I don’t feel perfection in my state (the current state) and that is exactly what I need to correct so that I feel the perfection (the desired state). This gap that I discover, between my current state and the desired state, is called “prayer.”
This gap is my inner corruption. And what am I lacking in order to close the gap? I am lacking the attribute of bestowal. Without it I can’t close the gap. And then I ask the Creator, “Give me the attribute of bestowal, the correction.” I feel the opposite of what I am supposed to feel-completion! And after I have arranged all these things, then and only then I turn to the group and see how I can work with it so that it arouses me and directs me correctly to the goal. The group is the means, but first I must arrange correctly my clarification, group, Creator.
