How can we feel deeply in our hearts that we need to ask the Creator to help us unite to come to love for our friends and reach the purpose of creation, to reveal the Creator?
To do this, we need to make room in our hearts, understand that this heart is empty and wants to be filled with such requests. Then we will awaken the heart, which will have only one request left: that it lacks the Creator. And we will very much want to feel how He fills our hearts.
I hope that we are approaching this state. Among us, there are people who already feel how the Creator is beginning to fill each person’s heart. We need to focus even more on this. The main thing is to just ask, to beg, as much as possible, and not stop, not despair. The Creator is ready to fill our hearts, and this will definitely happen.
Let’s go through this day all together in one heart, in a common hope that the Creator will come closer and fill our hearts.
First of all, we need to receive the light of faith from the Creator. It should fill all the space in a person’s heart and let us feel this light of faith coming to us from the Creator.
What is required on our part is the desire to attain faith. Then, to the extent of this desire, this feeling of lack, we will receive this light that will fill our hearts from the Creator. This is the very first action we need to take.
Then in the light of faith, which to some extent fills our hearts, we need to continue further. The more we lack the light of faith, the greater our ability to receive fulfillment that can turn into a new feeling of lack.
Faith can only be increased by strengthening our request, by striving for it, discussing, clarifying it more deeply, and then our desire grows.

Question: In order to achieve perfection in life, we must correct sins through connection. How can we keep the unity in connection so that the light of correction would work with us?
Answer: We just have to constantly think about how we can achieve greater unity between us and figure out how we can get even closer. You will see how it will work.
Question: Will the transition from a broken state to a corrected one be immediately felt?
Answer: Relatively quickly.
Question: How can we use the corrected state properly?
Answer: You will then see what grows out of it.

Comment: It is said that when Israel receives a hundred, it immediately wants two hundred.
My Response: One who wants a hundred, has two hundred opened up to him. This indicates that a person is developing. Everyone who is greater than one’s friend, his Hisaron (deficiency) is greater.
Question: What is perfection in spiritual life?
Answer: Perfection is achieved by the fact that from deficiencies that develop in me, I am constantly trying to form the quality of bestowal instead of reception. It is not that I seek to destroy the desire to receive, to level it. No!
Instead of all the desires that arise in me, I want to find only one great spiritual desire. And that is how I am going to move forward.

Comment: Generally, people who come to study Kabbalah are seasoned individuals who have experienced and tried many things or are ones referred to as the dregs of society, people who have not found their place in this world.
My Response: Of course, they are the dregs of this society. After all, what kind of people make up society? Energetic ones who know they should invest money in the bank; save in savings accounts, buy on time what television dictates to them, and participate in various demonstrations, elections, public works, and so on.
But those who come to study Kabbalah have one question about this: Why? They see that people in the world are doing things that are unnecessary, and therefore they ask, Why all this? If there is a purpose to life, then it is worth living and doing something; if life has no meaning, there is no need for anything.

Question: You said that we collect the face of the Creator from the states we go through, which apparently include work with the group, the teacher, books, and so on. How can we consciously build this snowball more quickly?
Answer: It depends on the intensity of your work, how many times a day each of you turns to the Creator, how often you unite with each other and turn to Him, and so on.
Question: Does it mean that all our work consists of the desire to participate in something that cannot be changed?
Answer: No, we do not think that anything can be changed. We are interested in how we should change under the influence of the Creator. This is the main thing.

Question: When you work in faith above reason, help comes from the Creator, which is called illumination from above. Thus, a person attains the five levels of NRNHY. What is this help in the form of illumination?
Answer: It is what gives you the strength to rise above the levels of Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, and Yechida, each time overcoming your egoistic desire.
Question: In the place where there is illumination and reception of the lights of NRNHY, how does Malchut determine the level of the coarseness (Aviut) of the screen it can handle?
Answer: Malchut is in attainment of its Aviut and in attainment of the light descending to it. Therefore, it can determine what it can handle.
This is how you make a calculation in a store when you hold a wallet in your hands and see the price of the item. This is what Malchut does.

Question: If my perception paints an external picture of the world for me, and this external picture is actually me, then what is the point of transitioning to a state of bestowal to others if they are me?
Answer: You never actually bestow anything to anyone else. What you do in your life is develop your perception, engage in self-knowledge, self-understanding, and self-discovery. That’s it! Everything that appears to be outside of you are your own sensory organs, which are intentionally made to seem foreign and unrelated to you. This is done so that by attracting them to yourself, you develop the desire for bestowal and love instead of egoistic desire, and you discover that all of it is actually yours. These are your attributes, your desires.
There is nothing in the world that does not belong to you. By integrating these so-called external objects, which are actually forces, attributes, and desires, you form a vessel within yourself for perceiving the Creator, the upper world.
The idea that something exists outside of you that is seemingly not yours and foreign is an illusion. It is you!
