Question: Does the expression “as an ox to the burden” refer to states in which we don’t see the future? How should we relate to the external world in such states when everything seems bad?

Answer: You will not be able to come out of bad states to good states in any way if you do not have a group. It is only in the ten.

When you gather in the ten and seemingly create one unique whole, although you are different from each other. Then you build inside you an attribute that is made of many different elements, which you do not even suspect exist because each of you is a huge complex system.

When you connect, one unique whole is created among you, but in fact the system is made of many different opposite parts. It is like every modern technical system, such as an electronic system or a computer system, in which there are many mutual and opposite combinations, but together they create a system that operates as one unique whole.

Without this system, you will not be able to advance in any way. So when you feel bad, only your ten can help you. If you are in a state of descent, the nine friends that are connected to each other can pull you out of this state.

This is the only way! There is no other way! This is the reason that each one is given a state of descent—in order to unite the ten. Today I am in a state of descent and tomorrow it will be you, and then him, and so on.

Everyone will go through these states and this is how we will create the Creator’s name, where each one pulls the others up. But you will not be able to do anything without a ten. All of spirituality is fulfilled only in the ten. There is nothing in an individual person. Make a note of that.

Question: You say that names are given randomly according to a certain trend or for other reasons. How should we give a child a name correctly so that it will reflect the Creator’s attributes in him?

Answer: I wouldn’t do that. First of all, give him a simple ordinary name that is popular among people and not a name that will hurt or humiliate him in any way, a name that he will not be ridiculed for at school or at the playground.

Second, don’t think that if you give a child or any other person a specific name you will change his fate by that.

It is said, “He who changes his place, changes his fate.” But the term “place” refers to levels of the spiritual ladder. So of course you change your fate.

It is the same regarding a name: the higher we ascend on the spiritual ladder, the higher our names are. But calling a person one name or another does not mean anything. Stop believing in those amulets.

Question: Does a person who begins to climb the spiritual ladder acquire a name automatically?

Answer: He receives a name according to the spiritual level he is on. This is the reason that he can be called by one name at one time and by another name another time. The Torah also tells us about it when it seemingly tells us about people: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s daughter Batya, etc. Yet, these are not people but parts of a single soul!

A person who attains the spiritual world goes through these states. At one time he is like Pharaoh, another time he is like Abraham, and another time he is like King David, etc. So go through these states as quickly as possible. This is the main thing.
