Each day we must give to the Creator everything that he has been through, whether Mitzvot or transgressions, and begin anew (Rabash, Letter No. 29).

Question: While working in the ten and in the group, very often we take inspiration from past conventions. What does the article mean when it says: Give to the Creator everything that we have been through whether Mitzvot or transgressions and begin anew?

Answer: Every day, we must start with a clean slate, as it is written: “Each day, they will be as new in your eyes.” In this way we start every day with a clean slate; based on yesterday’s and past achievements, I do today’s work much better.

Question: But Rabash writes to forget the past. What should I forget?

Answer: You are not interested in what happened. You take only the work you can do and the data you have today.

Question: What can I take from yesterday?

Answer: You are already taking everything you have from yesterday. But the most important thing is that you do not want to repeat yesterday, every day should be as new in your eyes.

Question: You have told us that we are attracting the light of Hassadim within the ten to enliven everyone. What does it mean to enliven everyone with the light?

Answer: To revive everyone with the light means that everyone would see, be convinced, feel, and realize that the entire world can become connected in the light of the Creator, in the light of Hassadim. After that, the Creator will manifest Himself in this world as the light of Hochma.

Attracting the light of Hassadim and passing it to the world is possible only through love for each other, by involvement, by mutual help, and annulling oneself toward others.

Question: Can each of us and every ten in general pass the force of the entire group to humanity, or is it necessary to be in attainment to be able to do this?

Answer: Definitely! For this, it is necessary to be in attainment; otherwise, what can you convey?

Question: In Kabbalistic articles, it says it is a necessity to strive for equality among ourselves. Why specifically toward equality? What does a person gain when he reaches this state?

Answer: In a group, one should strive to be able to help his friends as much as possible. This is your movement forward and the advancement of all the friends. As you set a good example to your friends, each begins to work the same way. As a result, all of you reach the goal.

Question: But what is this state—equality? What is its benefit? When I am higher than a friend, I understand that I can inspire him. When he is higher than me, I can learn something from him. And what do I gain if we are equal?

Answer: Equality as such cannot exist at all because we are all different. Everyone has natural spiritual roots, another soul. And therefore, each person can enrich the other.

When Kabbalah students unite with each other, all their spiritual roots unite and form what is called the Tree of Life. That is, by merging, they can evoke a great light from above, which reveals the entire system of creation to them.

Question: Rabash writes that a person who studies Kabbalah can create an atmosphere that allows him to work only for the sake of bestowal.

How does the hour or two a day that a person dedicates to meeting like-minded people affect him in a way that he wants to be in a completely opposite quality? How does this happen?

Answer: He connects with his friends in spiritual work and study, and as a result, if he merges with them, then such a group is obtained, such a general force that reveals the universal upper light that fills the ten, this group.

Therefore, being united with his friends into one common whole, a person begins to realize the meaning of creation, its reasons, and its purpose.

All this creates such an internal stable state with which a person enters more and more into the upper world that one begins to see the surrounding nature more and more deeply.

Question: You often say that the minimum number is two. And yet, how can the little tens be sure at this convention that they will receive support, that they are like a full-fledged Kli?

Answer: This is what the convention is organized for, so that all the small groups come together and form one big Kli. Therefore there is no need to worry that there are groups of three or four people. It does not matter; we unite together into one Kli and turn from it to the Creator.

There are several thousand of us, and therefore small groups are included in all the others.

Question: In spirituality does each of us have one’s own work and no one else will do my work for me?

Answer: We each have our own and at the same time joint work. Therefore no one will do either one of the jobs for us. Our job is to ask the Creator to help us. This is the most important thing.

Question: Sometimes I feel such a state of my corruption that I do not want to exist like this. But the state changes and it seems I can still live like this. Does everyone have their own measure of these conditions or is it somehow related to the total mass of people going through the correction? What does it depend on?

Answer: It depends on you. In any case, you should look for connections with your friends and then with the Creator.

Question: Can these changing states be regarded as degrees of coming closer to the Creator?

Answer: Of course.

Question: How do I understand if this is my personal state or the general state of a ten, a group, or humanity?

Answer: I will only say one thing. Any of our individual, personal states are anyway included in the general state of the ten, the group, and the entire world Kli.

Question: Sometimes the thought comes to mind that we want to “receive” the Creator. But we know we belong to the Creator and He can do what is good for us. Then it turns out that the place for efforts disappears, and He does everything for us, as it were. How can this be correlated?

Answer: Everything is much simpler. By turning to the Creator, I know that only He can change my state, save me from any bad state, and raise me to a good one.

I should not doubt that the Creator will provide all this for me. I am in such an environment, a group, a ten, which is sure that the Creator has the possibility to change our states from negative to positive.

In principle, everything depends on Him, but I have to do everything that depends on me.

Question: In a state where a person has forgotten what is most important and valuable to him, he doesn’t feel he has already lost something. Where should a new request begin? Should it begin with the attitude toward friends or toward the goal of merging with the Creator?

Answer: You should start with “There Is None Else besides Him.” Read this article in Shamati again or even just one paragraph, but in such a way as to understand that no other force in the world wants to lift you and bring you to a corrected state.

There is nothing more important to you than the Creator. That is exactly what you need to think about.
