Question: Why does Baal HaSulam use the concept of sightly to refer to flaws rather than purity, for example? What is considered sightly?
Answer: Sightly refers to the purity of thoughts, care for one another, help, and support, everything a person reveals in their heart regarding the friends.
Question: When I conduct internal scrutiny and become increasingly convinced that I belong to this sightliness less than others, inevitable disappointment and despair come. How do I correctly present my flaws to the Creator?
Answer: Just like that, bring them to Him so He may correct you. Do not hesitate, but come to Him, ask, cry, and demand that He correct all your flaws.

Question: Is it true that our material sufferings should lead us to turn them into spiritual ones? And how do we do that?
Answer: It depends on finding out how much you understand that, in principle, there are no material problems.
Only spiritual problems descend into our world and are clothed in various material phenomena, no more than that.
Question: If we unite, material problems will remain anyway, but we will go through them faster. How can we tune in to the fact that they will not leave, but we will be able to work with them through the reforming light?
Answer: You must imagine that all your problems will lose their negative appearance, and you, on the contrary, will succeed in your advancement toward the Creator, and material problems will gradually disappear.

Question: What will help you quickly recognize material and spiritual disturbances as help and realize that nothing is an obstacle, but on the contrary, it would awaken and give even greater striving to the group, to the Creator?
Answer: If you find out what stands in your way to uniting in the ten and turn to the Creator so that He strengthens your unity and gives you even more strength to connect, everything will be fine.
Question: How do I keep an internal connection with the ten during the day?
Answer: I do not think that is possible. You will still fall-rise, fall-rise. After all, there is no such condition in the world as to stay in one place.

Question: What are the signs of a person who feels impurity, and how can this be corrected to reach a connection?
Answer: If you want to receive for yourself rather than for the sake of the Creator or the friends, this is called a state of impurity (Klipa).
It is possible to correct the Klipa into a state of holiness (Kedusha) only with the help of the upper light. A person must raise his or her prayer to the Creator and ask to be transitioned from the degree where one feels the control of the desire to receive to the degree of the desire to bestow, to become similar to the Creator.
Only through prayer can we correct ourselves and come closer to the Creator and His revelation.
Question: Baal HaSulam writes that everything is already arranged, and all the worlds are ready to receive us, but a person holds on to their egoism and does not let go. What can we add here?
Answer: We must grasp that person and lift him or her above their state. Then, he will feel where he is and where we are pulling him. That is what we must do.

Question: Why are corrected flaws still called flaws and not virtues?
Answer: We cannot call them virtues because they remain the same flaws, only corrected.
A sightly flaw is a flaw that has been corrected through our efforts and has become good and kind.
Question: Do they teach us not to relax, that there will always be something for egoism to work on?
Answer: No, corrected flaws may disappear, but new ones will emerge.

Question: What is in common between being a fool and being heartless?
Answer: A heartless person is a fool in the heart, i.e., one who lacks the qualities to sense the Creator, His actions, and to feel closer to Him or distant from Him.
Heartlessness is a lack of desire. You have to work on it, destroy it from your heart.
Question: It turns out that in one’s mind a person is not a fool, he knows what he needs, but in his heart he does not want?
Answer: Yes, but in the end, the heart is conquered. As a result of constant work on ourselves, we begin to feel how it is changing.

Question: How is egoism displayed in the family?
Answer: Egoism is one’s own exaltation, one’s justification for oneself, and the desire to have power over the partner etc.
Comment: But it is impossible to escape it. Each and every time we reveal between us how much everyone is absorbed with oneself.
My Response: Indeed, the more we advance and try to suppress our ego, the more it grows. Nevertheless, we must gradually rise above it, and for this we need connection with the Creator.
Therefore, we are starting to beg Him to help us and not to leave us because on our own we are very weak and do not believe that somehow we can overcome our selves. We are working in this way day after day. This is a long job.
Question: But we do not always see this connection with the Creator. When the ego is growing, the opposite happens: we build and build and then fall even lower. What can you recommend for these moments?
Answer: You have to understand that when the ego rises, it gives us an opportunity to rise even more above it. This is what the help from the Creator means.
Question: It turns out that the Creator seemingly accepts our work?
Answer: Yes, from each one individually and from both together.
