Profiting Much from Everything that Will Be in a Convention
I could be at the end of the world, in a small and weak group, but if I prepare myself with the right fear that this is the first Mitzvah, the essential state, then it is not important where I am found; I could profit much from everything that will be in this convention. I must know how to be integrated in this society, really be there among them, to nullify myself. In particular, I must suggest to those who think that they have everything to instead think like a group that thinks they are great, understanding, and sensitive. I think that there is a great fear here that the people who think like this are the opposite. Not only will they not gain from the connection, but on the contrary, they will enter into Klipa, and this is a very big problem. So all of our preparation before the convention must be that we begin to feel how small we are in contrast to them and must be integrated. In general, “Every person who is greater than his fellow has a greater evil inclination,” even if we don’t feel it. This is concealed from our eyes so that we don’t see and don’t feel how much we are included with them, don’t submit towards them, and so on. This is the first preparation, this is the “Mitzvah of awe.” It is awe from how I am in regard to them, and awe from how I am in regard to the Creator. We must think whether we are preparing ourselves for this.

Determined to Make Unity, Connection and a Covenant in the Saint Petersburg Convention
We recommend being determined to make unity, connection, and a covenant at our convention in Saint Petersburg. Everyone who comes to a convention must be ready. Each one comes to a convention, meaning, not only physically by way of flying in a plane, coming in a wagon or walking; rather, I am talking about those who participate from all over the world. This is called coming. So come to connect. This is called coming to the convention, and then we must do something, some event, not great, but some event where we truly symbolize this thing. Also, we will be like a symbol of unity, and especially when the person leaves with a feeling that he has truly reached the first connection, the first click, familiarity, awareness, understanding, the first feeling of the one Kli, us. This is what I think, that it is necessary to be in the beginning of our grouping there.

The Essence of the Convention
The essence of the convention is to reach discovery of the Creator. This is its goal, and preparation for this convention is preparation for discovering the Creator. Accordingly, we must prepare the connection between us, a Kli, and we must try to be in this all the time and not go out of this. The Kli is solely and only if it is established, for spirituality is determination. And if there is a pause, it is no longer spirituality; you have already fallen again into physicality. According to this, you can check if you are approaching spirituality, drawn towards this, or not. For if you are drawn towards this or not, if you are drawn to this, if you are found in states of giving, bestowal, and so on, as much time as possible you are like this, you can already say that you are approaching.

It is necessary to be integrated in a group and to get support from it, to be integrated with the friends with eyes shut and in this way you are gradually strengthened, for this is your first or new level, and on every new level you are found in a level where you require support like a baby.
