I came across the following on shavuous. I thought the tzibur would appreciate it.
The Nesivos Shalom says that there are certain things that a yachid cannot accomplish on his own.
Only when he is part of a tzibur is it possible.
Kabalas HaTorah for example could only be accomplished by our being unified as a tzibur.
Similarly, all the inyanim of kedusha are written b'lashon rabim.
because the yachid on his own can't overcome it on his own.
כי היחיד אינו יכול להשיג רק את הענינים הטבעיים, אבל ענינים שלמעלה מן הטבע אין בכח היחיד להשיגם. כיון שהם למעלה ממדרגותיו הטבעיות. רק בזה שכולל עצמו בכלל ישראל, בכח הרבים שהוא כח אלוק ממעל, על ידי זה יוכל להגיע אף למדרגות כאלו שאין בכח היחיד להשיגם
so you see we as individuals cant beat this thing. Its only thru joining a tzibur like GYE that gives us the כח to win this battle.

terrific! shkoyach.
explains a lot to me about my struggle before and after GYE
