Question: How can one be satisfied with bestowal if the desire to receive requires fulfillment and prevents one from being in an intention for the sake of the Creator? How should we treat the fulfillment of desires to receive?
Answer: Treat it positively. Increasing the desire to receive is also good because you will build your desire to bestow on it.
Question: What if the desires to receive displace the desires to bestow?
Answer: It will pass. Overcome such periods. They come in waves: a wave of ascent, a wave of descent, a wave of ascent, a wave of descent. Therefore, try to bear them calmly because you are in the power of the Creator. Good luck.

Question: How can we promote knowledge about the Creator to the masses?
Answer: By disseminating information that there is a place where people study how to reveal the Creator.
Question: What is this strong group that promotes knowledge about the Creator and in what should its flexibility be manifested?
Answer: A strong group is a group that studies and works in dissemination. Its flexibility is manifested in its readiness to work with any member of the group and to adapt to them.

Question: How can we receive a reward in the Kelim of bestowal? Let us say the pleasure of minimal unification is also a reward. Can we receive it in the Kelim of bestowal?
Answer: Yes, but we want to be rewarded for every action we take. If this is an act of bestowal, if we rise through it and can influence others and the Creator even more, this is the reward.
Question: How can we relate correctly to the fact that some put in a lot of effort that causes admiration, while others, as it seems to us, put in much less?
Answer: We cannot say exactly how much effort a person puts in. But we must respect anyone who does so.

Question: Some of your students transmit spiritual information, while disseminating, without realizing it themselves. How can you recognize within yourself whether you are doing it correctly or not?
Answer: It does not matter. Let everyone try to disseminate, it does not matter with what motives. Even the most negative, the most foolish, and the most conceited, those who seek power, fame, money—let them try! This leads to a quick analysis.
When everything is revealed, it immediately becomes clear where evil stands in comparison to good. Conversely, it is worse when it is hidden. If the time for disclosure has come, let everything be disclosed.
For example, if you are a doctor and you advertise yourself, it is quickly possible to determine whether you are a good doctor or a bad one. If you do not advertise yourself, you can work with patients all your life quietly at some level, and that is it. But as soon as you reveal yourself more, there is a danger that you will be figured out and no one will come to you at all.
That is why I am in favor of everything being revealed as much as possible. All opinions, knowledge, and judgments about Kabbalah, all its followers, and conversely, all sorts of “anti”—let everything be revealed. And then, there will be a very quick analysis and correct conclusions.
People do not know what it is. They do not understand that now the real nature of the world is opening up to them, which helps them change, become normal, happy, and to navigate our world correctly and build the correct society.

Question: When I think about my friends or we think about something together, how do we build our artificial actions correctly?
Answer: Our artificial, even semi-false actions eventually add up to one serious request, a demand that the light really change us.
But this happens only if we insert ourselves into its device, into its matrix, even if we do not want to but still trying to make it work, together, although in fact we are not together with our hearts yet, studying Kabbalah, although we do not know what we are studying and what we need from it. We sort of hide these unspoken conditions from ourselves and lie to ourselves.
But it does not matter. As a result, everything develops into conditions that are required for the system to start acting on us like on small children. This is the same system, the same technique by which babies develop.
As a child, they explained to us: “Look, this is this and this is that. This is added. This is subtracted.” That is, we are already beginning to perceive reality with our minds and feelings.
When I show my mind and feelings for our world, it is considered that I am already a small person. And then I can start accumulating information, adding it up, synthesizing it, analyzing it, but only from the moment when I am already a human being, let’s say from the age of five to six.
And before that, I am developing completely unconsciously. I look at adults and do the same thing, repeat what they say, do what they advise. We are also acting in relation to the spiritual world in the same way.

Question: I clothe myself with the desires of my friends in the ten until the Creator clothes these desires. What does it mean? How does this happen?
Answer: I cancel myself and put on the desires of my friends because I want them to be realized. It is when I clothe their desires with my desire so that they come true, then I reveal the Creator in them.
By this, I achieve the property of bestowal in the form it exists in a friend, and thus I comprehend the Creator. A friend gives me a Kli and I give him Aviut, and the Creator dresses in it.
Question: What kind of clothing do I expect in the desires of my friends? Should they have some sort of additional strength or filling? How can I check that I did my job well?
Answer: According to the result. And the result should be the revelation of the Creator! If I adhere to my friend correctly so that everything he wants comes true and I want him to succeed, I reveal the Creator in him.
I want to fulfill his desire using the property of bestowal. He gave me the format of this property he wanted, and I expanded it. A friend is like a screen on which the Creator is revealed to me.
My quality of bestowal operates in my friend because I want to help him, and the Creator reveals himself to me in his desire.
Think about it. It is a spiritual action! I cancel myself before my friend. I want to lead him to the Creator completely, to spirituality. And therefore, in his desires, when I work with my Aviut and give him Ohr Hozer, the Creator dresses in them, Ohr Yashar.

Man receives pleasure from three Kelim called “future,” “present,” and “past” (Rabash, Notes 200, “Receiving Pleasure from Three Kelim [Vessels]”).
Pleasure comes from the past, present, and future. It all depends on how I feel about it.
The most significant content comes from the future because it has yet to be dressed in any form. I imagine it as superb, which is currently impossible to receive in my Kelim and enjoy, but in the future, yes.
Therefore, although the past, present, and future depend on each other, the future can shine for me for a long time, and the present, which I now feel, will gradually fade away. As for the past, I generally need a mood and an exact connection with it.
So, the greatest pleasure comes from the future. It can be stretched out as much as you like until it comes and turns into the past.

Question: Let’s say there is a certain amount of egoism that is distributed among all of humanity. Everyone is given several decades to somehow recognize this egoism.
As Baal HaSulam writes, everything depends on human development. Some people directly use their egoism without hesitation. Some people use it but more secretly. And some are already aware and do not want to use the ego at all; they want to be altruists, although by nature they are egoists.
The question arises: at some stage will humanity realize that this certain amount of egoism should not develop to the end, and will it begin to change?
Answer: As egoism grows, a person begins to feel increasingly bad. He sees what egoism forces him to do, how the ego is his own enemy, and as a result, he rebels against egoism.
But the question is, when will he start doing this? What tools does a person have to limit his egoism?
Here we must understand that not always, not everywhere, not in every society, not in every historical example, especially in our time, can we get out from under the ego, although we understand the essence of egoism and can give it a critical assessment.
