Question: There was a new level felt at the congress, and today there is a feeling that all the friends are in my heart. I am very afraid of losing this feeling. What should I do, how can I give it back to the Creator?
Answer: Just think about what you want to receive from each one, the common desire for the Creator that exists in the group. Connect all these desires together and give them to the Creator.

Question: How can we use a situation for advancement when the Creator is playing with us, as if moving away?
Answer: We ask the Creator not to move away, but to come closer.
We must resist and discuss this topic together. This is a common problem. It will arise for each one at different times.
Therefore, it is necessary to draw strength from each other and immediately turn to the Creator with a request that He lift you up.

Question: Before the fall, Adam was in holiness. Where did this holiness go after the fall, because now we have to start all over again as if from scratch in the world of Assiya? Is holiness preserved somewhere?
Answer: No, holiness is not preserved. It is broken.
But that does not matter to you. You must pick up the fragments of the broken Kelim and unite them into whole vessels.

Question: How can the properties of the righteous be canceled in inner work? Outwardly I can show myself to be no one in the ten, but internally the quality of a righteous person will sit within me. How do you work with this correctly?
Answer: In your actions regarding your friends, you must place yourself below them so that this gradually becomes part of your character. It is imperative. Then you will receive more.
Question: But if everyone externally and internally considers himself a “heel,” i.e., the lowest, who should you take as an example when you need the confidence of your friends in their inner truth?
Answer: There is the Creator above all of you. He will raise or lower whoever is needed, give an example to the group somehow, and so on. You will interchange your different states all the time. The main thing is ensuring everyone feels like a heel.
Question: How can you more clearly sense which of your friends is a zero or a one?
Answer: It is not important for you to feel it. You should not see that this friend is worse and that one is better. This one has wholly canceled himself and that one has not yet. Do not test them. The main thing is to push them forward, care for them, and let you be the last one.

Crown means Keter, and Keter is the Emanator and the Root. Kedusha [holiness] is connected to the root… (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 17, “What Does It Mean that the Sitra Achra Is Called ‘Malchut without a Crown’?”)
Question: What does it mean to choose holiness and connect with Keter?
Answer: We want all our actions to be directed at bestowal, as in Keter.
After all, Keter is entirely a quality of bestowal, while in the rest of the Sefirot (Hochma, Bina, and so on), there are all sorts of different qualities of reception and bestowal in different proportions to each other.
But Keter is completely bestowing, just as Malchut is completely receiving.
Question: Can we connect to the quality of Keter in the ten right away, or do we need to go through some intermediate stages?
Answer: To do this we must ask the Creator to give us more strength to fulfill the qualities of bestowal and not strive for reception, except for the most essential things. Then, we will be able to get closer to Keter (the Creator) and push away from Malchut.

Question: By what signs can we figure out what is the Keter in the work of the ten and whether we are working correctly for bestowal?
Answer: Keter in the work of the tens is our common desire to bestow. We unite with each other so that we have a greater common force of bestowal.
We must definitely ask the Creator to increase this desire, then Keter will be very strong due to the growth of the force of bestowal, and we will be able to advance.

Question: The Creator gives descents in reception for one’s own sake. Can the Kli (vessel) grow without these descents?
Answer: No, it cannot. It is only from descents that we grow. It is said simply: everyone who is greater than his friend, his evil inclination is even greater. Those who are more spiritually advanced have more egoism.
Comment: I would like to control this.
My Response: There is no need to control anything, just move forward.
