When I scrutinize the inner work and how it can benefit me, my selfish nature asks questions for my advancement. Somehow this seems callous and keeps me inside my selfish shell. So here is my question, is there a way that we as students of this inner work can ask questions to benefit the group or is just asking questions beneficial for all because the answer itself is inherently helpful for everyone? I guess it depends on the intention of the student and the teacher when engaging in a Socratic way, right?

Is then "love thy neighbor...", the great law or mitzvah that encompasses all 613 laws? Maybe it is the focal point which all other laws lead us to. These laws or mitzvot seem to be an internal process that connects us together and to the Divine.
When Christ said I have come to fulfill the laws, maybe he is talking about having attained all 613 mitzvot which is love the neighbor which then leads to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
If anyone can shed light on this matter, that would be wonderful <3
