It is written about Abraham, “Walk before Me, and be wholehearted.” RASHI interprets that he does not need support. About Noah, it is written, “Noah walked with God,” that he needed support (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 214, “Known in the Gates”).

Question: From the article it follows that Abraham did not need support, but Noah did.
What is the message of the Creator for our generation on the eve of the convention? What do we need now?

Answer: We need support and an explanation of what we must do, how to unite, what to desire, and what stage of our connection to reach between us.

Question: Does it mean that our generation should make more of our own efforts?

Answer: Partly, yes. On the other hand, since we are in a generation far from Abraham, we still must understand that we have a specific condition. Overall, a good condition. We are very close to the Creator, although we do not yet feel how He treats us and how we influence Him. But still, these conditions exist.

Question: Are we reaching the level of partnership with the Creator now?

Answer: We feel a connection with the Creator, but it is not yet tangible.

Question: How does our egoistic mind become spiritual, and how do these changes occur in the ten?

Answer: The egoistic mind becomes spiritual gradually under the influence of the light of the Creator.

The closer we come to each other, the more we unite and the more we will be able to invite the influence of the light of the Creator upon us. This light will unite us, and under its influence we will come closer to the Creator and become like Him.

We will go through all this in our feelings and begin to feel how we are getting closer, uniting, and thus gradually approaching the goal.

The articles of Rabash contain the entire Torah. He takes it from the highest level and lowers it to our level so that we receive it in the most suitable form, which helps us grow and internally organize ourselves to achieve higher levels. Therefore, Rabash’s articles are the highest source for internal work.

The main thing is to try to penetrate them with your heart, not your head. Open your heart and strive to feel the Creator, and only then begin some movements inside the heart to find an even closer alignment with the Creator.

How can we bring our hearts closer to Rabash? Only by connecting with the hearts of our friends and opening our hearts. There is no other way.

In a few days, we will gather for a congress, which is entirely based on Rabash’s articles and is called “Life in the Ten.” I am very excited and look forward to this congress with great trepidation because the Creator has given us everything we need. Everything depends on whether we can realize what we have received, and our putting all our strength into it.

The whole path is open to us. We can now take off to the goal and reveal all the components we need to collect and attach to ourselves along the way. The main thing is to be highly concentrated. I truly hope this happens to us.

Question: What kind of state is it when you realize that all your past thoughts and actions have no meaning and you see some emptiness and fear of the unknown in front of you?

Answer: There are all kinds of states in our life, especially if we add spiritual sensations to them.

But the most important thing we should get from our spiritual study is that there is none else but the Creator and the Creator is good and leads us to Himself, that is, to the best state, and we have nothing to fear.

We should only care about being together, among ourselves and with the Creator. This direction should be in front of you all the time.

Question: Is it possible to say that emptiness and fear are egoism?

Answer: Of course, this is egoism beyond a doubt.

Question: So you do not need to give this particular importance?

Answer: It is good if you know how to do it.

Question: Is it worth working through all fears before coming to merge with the Creator?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary to strive for this.

Question: If we find the strength to pray while immersed in the quality of blackness, then there is a place of merging with the Creator and gratitude. What actions are required of us hereafter?

Answer: To ask, to pray, to speak, to turn to the Creator for any, even the most insignificant reason. All the time, as if to annoy Him. And then you will quickly see His attitude toward you.

We must, as much as we can, not break away from the Creator, feel that we have grasped Him, and are holding Him as close to us as possible. And so we go through life.

The process when a ten becomes one single whole is a gradual process of gathering people into tens, then tens, tens as units, into hundreds, and so on. This is how the spiritual pyramid is built, and thus we come to “one man.”

Question: How can we go through this process at the convention?

Answer: We will not be able to go through this process yet. Now we have to think only about our tens and how to connect them to such an extent that we feel what is before us. This is not the ultimate goal. It is still very elusive for us, but we need to know about it, think about it, and talk about it.

Question: After the convention we are in joy, delight, and connection. What is the right thing to pray for when we are full of joy?

Answer: Pray to come closer to the Creator and to be able to thank Him even more.

A person must always work on his properties in order to be as close to the Creator as possible, and accordingly, one will know how to move forward.

Question: Our state is counted by how much we are in faith, not in knowledge. What does this mean?

Answer: I do not rely on my knowledge. I rely on the Kabbalists, who wrote what should be done, and on the Creator by studying His instructions in the sources. This is why I am advancing.

Faith is the light of mercy (Ohr Hassadim).

Question: Is this what I give to my friends and to the Creator?

Answer: No. It is simply a quality of faith that comes from a person and allows him to feel the spiritual world. To do this, you need to love and be good to everyone. Make an effort and you can succeed.

Question: When I come to the feeling that everything that happens to me is from the Creator and I fully trust Him and thank Him for it, then can I say that I am already in faith?

Answer: Partly, this is the beginning of faith. There are as many degrees in faith as there are in knowledge. The light of mercy (Ohr Hassadim) and the light of wisdom (Ohr Hochma) go in parallel.
