How Can We Annul Before the Creator?

938.01Question: If we feel a friend, then he is part of us. Does this mean that when we are not physically together,  prayer connects us?

Answer: No, this is not true. The main thing for us is to be together in our ten, and then we will feel how much we can begin to rise together with our combined effort. The Creator will lift us up.

Question: How can I annul before the Creator? We study how to nullify before friends. Is there any difference between annulment before friends and the Creator?

Answer: There is no difference. Only the friends are a group, and the Creator is the only one above this group. If you learn to annul yourself before your friends, then you are learning to nullify yourself in before the Creator.

Vector toward the Ten

934Question: Sometimes negative thoughts come to me about this or that person. They capture my senses and cause irritation. Is it necessary to immediately stop the thought or should I somehow digest it in myself, scroll through it, close it, and try to cover it with love? If it does not work out, then pray accordingly? What is the right thing to do?

Answer: In any case, when you do not understand anything, you should gather the whole ten in your thoughts and feelings, connect with them, and then turn to the Creator. Then, He will answer any of your questions.

Meaning don’t stop the thought, but immediately change the vector to the ten, and then all negative thoughts will dissipate.

Fill the Void with Feelings

530Question: If a person does not have a descent and he does not feel that it is difficult for him to come to lessons and to meetings with friends, and if friends do not seem great to him, then this is the place for our work.

And if he sees his friends as great and it seems to him that he has the Torah and the commandments, what is the work here?

Answer: A person should be more focused on the quality of connection with friends. He needs to strive more and more to get closer to them, until he feels that there is a quality of bestowal to each other between them, meaning, the Creator is between them.

Remark: But it must be revealed, we must somehow reach this work.

My Comment: It is in front of you, it is between all the friends. Together, you must pounce on the void that opens up between you and fill it with your qualities and feelings.

The Ten—The “Telephone” to Talk with the Creator

528.01Question: How do we reveal the Kli to hear the prayer in the ten?

Answer: The more connected you are between yourselves, the more you reveal your connection with the Creator. The work itself is very simple. You just need to strive for unification between you and through that to connection with the Creator every second.

Question: When you lose connection with your friends, your mind tells you that you need to pray for them, but your heart is not ready yet. You want to bestow to them, but you have no strength. At this time should a person ask for the strength to bestow or still to unite with his friends?

Answer: You should still unite with your friends. There is no escape from this. There should be a ten from which we turn to the Creator, ask Him for connection with Him, and He answers us in the same ten.

The ten is our “telephone” through which we talk with the Creator.

How Can I Understand the Creator’s Answer

566.01Question: I ask the Creator to fill the void, to answer, and He gives the answer. And I understand that I got it, but my ego says, “No, I don’t agree.” What should be done in this situation?

Answer: You have to put some pressure on your ego to agree with the group.

Question: How can I ask the Creator to give me internal agreement with Him, the opportunity to crush myself?

Answer: Write down the answer that you don’t like or don’t understand, turn to the group, and turn to the Creator until you solve this problem. Only when you agree with the answer will you get a clear idea of what the Creator is giving you.

Each Has Their Own Privileges

963.5Question: Why did the Creator make the qualities of Israel weaker than the qualities of the 70 nations of the world?

Answer: It is in order for us to turn to Him and ask for correction.

Question: Couldn’t they have been made on equal terms so that there would be some choice?

Answer: I don’t see much difference between Israel and other nations on the earthly degree. This difference is clearly expressed only in spirituality.

There may be a difference in our world, but you can’t say that someone is weaker or worse. It’s not important. Every nation has its own privileges.

For the Laws of the Torah to Come to Life in Us

933Question: We once received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and after the destruction of the Second Temple we lost it. Can the same thing happen now? How do we not lose the Torah?

Answer: It was not the loss of the Torah, but the shattering of the common soul.

This happened because we were using the laws of the Torah incorrectly. But as soon as we unite, these laws will come to life within us again.

Do What Is Dear to the Creator

566.02Question: In a ten that is studying Kabbalah, it is important to bestow, cancel oneself, elevate the Creator and the group, and not expect praise from others. Because if people around you praise you, it is not so much out of respect, but for the sake of encouraging your ego.

Why do we need the praise of others? On the contrary, we need to learn how to bestow to the Creator and to the friends.

Answer: That is right. Therefore you are given a state that you must reject and push away from yourself, and do what is dear to the Creator.
