During the preparation period, all the work is in the no’s, that is, in the “no” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 204, “The Purpose of the Work – 2”)

Question: What desires are we not allowed to use?

Answer: Check it out for yourself, see, and try to limit yourself from all sides so that you build your personal connection space with your friends.

In the articles there is a general direction, and then everyone, based on one’s feelings, decides how to get around some obstacles to push away the state of receiving for one’s own sake.

Question: If a person does not have the Kelim of bestowal, can he do the work of restriction?

Answer: Maybe. In any state a person can do what he needs to, give, and connect with his friends.

Comment: But his original nature is always strong and, in essence, does not change. A person invests in and still remains in reception.

My Response: This means that he has not yet done any good deeds.

Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the constant influence of the Creator and cling to each Hisaron in a timely manner in order to develop an even greater need for bestowal and realize it through prayer?

Answer: It depends only on a person. If one is constantly focused on how much egoism prevents one from getting closer to the Creator, then he feels an urgent need to get out of the ego.

Then he cries out to the Creator, and He hears him. This is how a person reaches the Creator.

Question: At what point does the state of Lishma begin?

Answer: Lishma (not for oneself) is a state where a person receives such reinforcement from above that he can already aim for a connection with the Creator and only this is his goal.

Question: In which quality can we bring contentment to the Creator more through our efforts: in Lishma (for the sake of others) or in Lo Lishma (for oneself)?

Answer: In both states. We should strive to be as kind, good, and bestowing as possible in the eyes of the Creator. Then we will see how precisely our desires are fulfilled.

Question: What does it mean to implement connection correctly in a world group to be as one ten?

Answer: It means trying to help everyone, coming together around a single center, gathering together, uniting, turning to the Creator, and waiting for His help.

Question: What is striving to see the Creator before me?

Answer: It means seeing the force that pulls you forward, that guides you through Egypt, exiles, and various difficulties with your friends.

Question: Does Pharaoh die naturally or is he killed by the Creator when it is time to leave Egypt?

Answer: I do not think we can witness Pharaoh’s death yet. It means the death of all egoism existing in all people on Earth. Can you imagine what we will come to then? Complete correction.
