Question: What is the difference between the preparation stage and the state when a person is already in adhesion with the Creator? Is the stage of revealing evil behind us?
Answer: No, everything continues because the steps go up.
You rise’ there are problems, there is a solution, there is adhesion, and so on. And up again, and up again. Therefore, for us, this is only the beginning of the ladder of spiritual ascent.

Question: Why is the desire to bestow called the power of purification?
Answer: It purifies our egoistic desire and completely orients it toward bestowal.
Question: Now we are praying out of selfishness. What will help us move on to true prayer so that it comes from the quality of bestowal?
Answer: The Creator gradually, imperceptibly to us, changes our desires and sensations so we move from one part of understanding our nature to another.
In the ten this transition is carried out individually for everyone: for one sooner, for another later, depending on one’s qualities and actions.
However, we do not need anything but an urgent request to the Creator, tenacity, and perseverance.

Question: How can a ten give everyone the strength to act above reason?
Answer: Personal example is the most effective.
Question: When a person overcomes the body and feels joy, doesn’t he come to some measure of the body’s consent to act above reason? How can we go even higher in this case?
Answer: In this case, try to bypass this condition and still go by faith above reason. If not this time, then next time. Or change the basis a bit.
Question: If everything comes from the Creator, what are alien thoughts?
Answer: All our thoughts are alien, except for moving toward a common goal.
Question: How can you share your Hisaron in the ten so your friends will gladly accept it?
Answer: That is why you communicate all the time. Your friends feel and understand you and are permeated with your actions.
Question: What is the active bestowal during workshops, tens’ meetings, and actions for connection?
Answer: It is to support the friends.

Question: At one time was all of humanity in spiritual attainment?
Answer: No, it was not. Only the group of Abraham, who left Babylon, was in spiritual attainment for a brief period; upon exiting Egypt they all ascended to a new level, and then later during the construction of the First Temple. Of course that was not about a building with stones and wood, but about the inner construction of the soul, first, with the erection of the First Temple, then the Second Temple, and then the fall from the spiritual level 2,000 years ago. But together, as one unified nation, this group existed for only a very brief period.
As for all of humanity, it has never been in spiritual attainment because, while in Babylon, it did not want to master the methodology of revealing the Creator, of unity, and rising to His level, which is the highest level of bestowal and love in nature. Therefore, Abraham had to leave there.
Question: So it seems that people should come to this sensation soon. How realistic is it that everyone will feel the spiritual system?
Answer: It is absolutely realistic! Absolutely everyone and the entire scheme of creation. It is all within each of us. All together, we are in collective adhesion with each other in one unified soul called Adam, “Malchut of the world of infinity.” Call it whatever you want; there are many definitions for this state.

Question: I used to think that faith above reason leads to an ascent.
Answer: Of course, that is the way it is.
Question: Then how do you understand that faith above reason is only possible in ascents?
Answer: When you strive to ascend, you have faith above reason. First, there is an ascent, then faith, not the opposite.
Question: Does the ascent depend on us, or do we give only intention and effort, and then the Creator lifts us?
Answer: Yes.

Question: When we read the articles, I have a growing regret that I cannot go beyond the boundaries of egoism. The text pulls you up because there is a completely different quality of existence. Is regret the beginning of a correct prayer?
Answer: Yes, this is already the beginning. Therefore, one should not leave the smallest awakening, but try to develop it all the time.
Small articles can be read many times a day. And in this way you will not allow yourself to stray far from the goal.

Question: In prayer, should we ask for the level of faith and bestowal the Creator wants to give us?
Answer: Preferably. We do not know the level the Creator requires of us, but we can imagine it based on our feelings.
Question: What does this level depend on and how can we present it in order to give the Creator what we are asking?
Answer: It depends on devotion. If you sincerely intend to bestow through your actions, you will start to feel what you are doing concerning the Creator.

Answer: Yes that is very beneficial.
