Question: When you asked the question what we were lacking, a friend in the ten said that we are lacking audacity and decisiveness. It seemed to me that this could really be added. Should we think about this and press on this pedal?

Answer: I once gave such an example. We were sitting at Rabash in the Sukkah and everyone was in very good state. I asked Rabash: “What is preventing us from making a breakthrough now?”

He replied: “An attack! There must be an attack now!” But the attack is not about us jumping and shouting. It is an internal attack! It is inside oneself and in relation to your friends.

We were unable to carry out this attack then. I spoke with him about this topic later.

Moreover, there is a time when this can be done, when there is an appropriate moment for it, the so-called awakening from above. We have it now. I hope that we do not miss this opportunity.

Question: It is very important for us to unite and create a women’s Kli. You said that our common goal is to clothe the female desire with the male intention. How can we achieve this? What should women do?

Should we not think about ourselves but only about the men? What do you advise us?

Answer: I feel your pain, as if you are powerless without men. But this is not true.

You must understand that if you gather among yourselves and try to rise above your feminine egoistic rejections, you will have a wonderful opportunity to create such a Kli that will not even need the male one.

Of course, later we will find that there is mutual complementing between male and female parts. But at the initial stage, there is absolutely no need to mix female and male attempts to connect. Each in their own circle. If you seriously connect with each other, you will not need men.

The Creator gives screens and intentions to both men and women. History knows great women prophets, Kabbalists, who were greater than men. So you have nothing to worry about.

Later, we will combine our male and female-specific qualities. But this is not the kind of work where we are together nearby, seeing and hearing each other. We will feel this as a desire in the air—here is the female part, here is the male part. We will even feel the female and male parts within the female part and the male and female parts within the male part. This is how we will interact.

That is, we need to develop and reveal who we are. Then we will see that we can work together.

But there is still a very long way until the very end. There are many months ahead until each can understand what a female and male ten is and how we can connect with each other in not a physical, but a spiritual contact.

Question: Suppose we now set a course for the conception of a spiritual embryo (Ibur). I feel the deficiencies (Hissaron) of my friends. What does it mean to annul myself before them? Does it mean having no thoughts or desires of my own and thinking only about them?

Answer: You have gathered together to perform some spiritual work; otherwise, all your efforts and time are wasted. Therefore, I advise you to simply take into account what we say about the embryo and try to implement it as much as possible, constantly think about it. That is it! Nothing more is needed.

Continuously imagine what you need to do to remain in this state, maintain it, and develop it so as not to fall. This should be everyone’s concern, and then you will feel that you are all in one stream, moving in one direction as all your thoughts intertwine. This direction will hold and develop you.

Question: I am sure that each friend cares about finding the embryo (Ibur) in the depth of our connection. But what does this search really entail? What does it mean to think about it correctly?

Answer: Thinking correctly about the embryo means thinking only about how I annul myself. I do not criticize my friends; I consider them absolutely perfect.

If I see any imperfection in them, I attribute it to myself, to my own qualities; my qualities are why I see them as imperfect. I need nothing else but to annul myself before them.

Ideally the gradual and constant annulment of yourself before others should be in actions, thoughts, and feelings. Then within a short period, I will feel that I truly reach such a state.

Question: When we mutually integrate into each other, we will feel unity 620 times stronger than it was initially at the formation of the common soul. Does this state also include all levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human?

Answer: This refers to the spiritual dimension. Therefore, if you are talking about the common soul or about some particular attainment, then in spirituality the particular and the general are equal. A part is not a part of the whole, but the same whole.

The 620 parts are practically the entire spiritual Partzuf, attainment from Malchut to Bina. But in principle, these 620 are further divided into dozens of parts.

248 parts from Bina to Tifferet (RAMACH) and 365 from Tifferet to Malchut sum up to 613 parts (TARYAG) plus seven additional parts, which are a total of 620 parts (TAPACH). But 620 are the parts of the soul into which it is generally divided, and each of the parts also consists of 620. Thus, spirituality always consists of 620 parts.

Just as a person has all sorts of small and large organs, bones, and tendons so does the spiritual body.

When we perform some spiritual actions of bestowal, of approaching, we constantly renew and correct these desires. And how this happens, we do not yet feel and do not know, but we will later definitely see and attain it.

Question: Congress is a state where we can really feel each friend, his spark and charge. What is missing in this state to feel it as ten Sefirot, as direct and reflected light?

Answer: Direct and reflected light express only the relationship between us.

As soon as a relationship of “I am to a friend and he is to me” arises between us and so between everyone in the ten, we immediately form a state where we feel bestowal from us toward the Creator and from the Creator toward us.

Then we enter a completely different level of creation and begin to understand what is happening in this world and in the upper world. This world will become an upper world. We will begin to feel that everything works differently there.

It should happen. From the way I speak, I can see how easily I can convey information to you. This is a sign that you are ready. So go ahead.

Question: How is the concept of “ten” related to the Ten Sefirot? Can this information be used for internal clarifications?

Answer: If you have trouble connecting the spiritual ten with the physical ten, imagine each of us is a desire, ten separate egoistic desires that when interconnected allow you to build one complete altruistic intention.

We study the four stages of direct light: zero, one, two, three, and four. There are only five stages. But, as a rule, we talk about four because the zero stage does not count—it is the source.

The five stages of light are transformed into ten Sefirot because one of these Sefirot, Tifferet, consists, in turn, of six parts.

The path from light to desire goes exactly along ten parts. It cannot be less or more. Rabash writes about this in some of his articles, and Baal HaSulam in the book Study of the Ten Sefirot.

From light to the desire, which the light creates, there must be ten stages where the highest stage is the light itself and the lowest stage is the desire itself. Thus, the light as it gradually descends from above creates a desire within itself.

And then the opposite occurs where the desire begins to gradually become like the light. It turns out that the ten Sefirot of direct light occur when the light builds desire from Keter to Malchut and the reverse when Malchut wishes to resemble the light from Malchut to Keter.

Question: If it is important to include myself in the friends’ questions, should we hold a workshop where each person asks a question so that I can integrate with it?

When I do not understand how to respond mentally to a friend’s question, will I be able to raise a request to the Creator?

Answer: We can certainly become included in each other during workshops, but it is even better when we help each other.

You always have the opportunity to work together. Try to find such collective work that allows you to participate together in something, even if the actions are insignificant. Collective physical work is a pure gain. That is what I advise you.

Intellectual exercises, like questions, answers, and so on, hardly yield serious spiritual results.

Question: What is the correct intention for reaching connection?

Answer: The desire for connection is the correct intention. We must see adhesion with each other as an essential and necessary goal.

If we connect in our aspiration toward the Creator, through this aspiration, we create a vessel (Kli) to reveal Him within us. This is our work.

Question: I saw a documentary showing how prisoners participate in circles, like workshops, in which they connect. They reveal all sorts of childhood desires and often scream to release them.

Will similar things happen in our case? Or does the upper light smooth everything out and make our process gentler?

Answer: We are not dealing with psychology, but with Kabbalah, and we go through much more complex states. Simultaneously, our Kli (vessel) constantly expands, our sensations become more powerful, and we can contain more within ourselves. Therefore, we do not experience such psychological outbursts as in the groups you mentioned.

On the contrary, a person who advances in the study of Kabbalah appears much calmer externally. That is not because they are working on themselves to restrain emotions, but because, under their screen, there is an enormous capacity for desires, feelings, and sensations.

Thus, they can calmly endure states that would be difficult for an ordinary person to bear in our world.

Otherwise such a person might lose their sanity, as neither their nerves nor mind could handle it. But in Kabbalah it is possible precisely because we are constantly developing our Kli.

Question: How can we continue to work on connection so that a spiritual miscarriage does not occur?

Answer: Our main task is to achieve the state of Ibur (embryo) where we unite in the ten. There should be ten people, no more. Less is possible.

As this happens, we will go through the so-called “three days of the absorption of the seed.” The seed that has penetrated the uterus must attach to its inner wall.

It takes three days, which symbolizes the three lines. In our world all this happens as a consequence of the actions of the spiritual world.

We must go through this state and fully attach ourselves as a group to the Creator in three lines.
