TUESDAY PRAYER: GEVURAH-NETILAT YADAYIM (נטילת ידיים): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE HANDS) RITUAL
READING: between afternoon and sunset of Monday
NETILAT YADAYIM (נטילת ידיים): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL BEFORE THE MAIN READINGS OF `PRAYER OF MANY´ THIS WEEK.
Connection of the Souls
How are the souls connected?
We don’t know what a soul is, not mine and certainly not other souls. And we will never know. We need to develop the relation to this thing called souls. The relation towards souls is called, “bestowal.”
I don’t know who I am or who he is, but I know that I love him. That’s enough. To love another is to attain the force of the Creator that dwells between me and this other person. My good relation towards another is the force of bestowal, i.e., that I become a part of him. My attention needs to be on the relations between us, to invest efforts in bringing myself to bestowal and to bind myself to the others in a relation of love. The measure of the connection of love between us will reveal the souls.
What we can do is to make an effort that the deficiency for this love is revealed, and the way there is only via the group. I have to reach baseness of myself and the greatness of the group in order for this to happen. I press on the friends and they press on me, and then a small point of love is revealed to me. Just a small push on this point is enough in order to kindle Light in all the worlds.

PRAYER FOR UPPER STATE: SELF REFLECTION – take a good look at your connection with friends. These friends are your broken desires. Is your connection uniting these desires? Is it completing your whole being? What can you do for more to reunite yourself in this way?
