Question: Why can’t we take, say, ten men, and put them in an “aquarium,” and everyone else will take care of them and fulfill the principle of mutual guarantee?
Answer: We do not need to take care of them! Let them take care of each other, that is a different matter! But if the Creator gives us, not ten, but ten thousand people today, what can we do?
Today, tens of thousands strive for unity as a solution to the world’s problems and to attain the upper world.
Wherever I go, people recognize me. In Greece, the hostess of the house we rented rooms from said, “I know you.” In Chișinău, the owner of a small hotel we stayed at exclaimed, “I did not know you booked our rooms!” It turns out many people know us. Millions!
In any country, people stop me on the street, greet me, ask questions, and talk. We are very well-known. Therefore, we cannot limit ourselves to ten people. It would not help in fact, it would be counterproductive. Why did the collective soul shatter into many parts? So it would be easier to correct them.
If we break large egoism into smaller parts, each part is easier to correct. In our world, we solve any problem by breaking it into smaller problems, solving each, and then combining them. It is the only way.
You cannot do anything beyond what is given from above. If these conditions are revealed to you, you must act within them. You are given a system of correction, and what to correct is revealed from above.
These are the conditions: this world, these problems, this crisis. Work with them. We must understand this is the best and most correct way.
Question: Is it necessary for one ten to succeed or all the tens?
Answer: Ideally, all should succeed, but even a part is possible. Everyone strives to give everyone what they need for correction, and after that, it is an individual effort for each.

Question: How do we engage with a friend’s question? And how do you work with these questions?
Answer: I try to feel every question within myself as if I am asking it. I must feel each question on your level, the way you present it, and feel it on my level, the way I would ask it.
I must feel the difference between these levels and figure out how I can understand your question at my level and answer it at your level. Try to do the same with each friend’s question. You cannot imagine how much you will enrich yourselves, each of you! Therefore, you need to try to enter into your friend.
Children usually ask the most challenging questions. A child’s question may seem naive, but it is very complex. We are not used to such questions.
Additionally, the questions you ask help me create a connection with the person asking. How else can I enter these questions and they, me? In the lessons with you, I gain much more than each of you.

Consequently, as long as the individual is troubled with concerns for himself, he is unfit to begin observing the Mitzva “Love your friend as yourself.”
The spiritual structure is perfect. It cannot be that one part of it works and another does not because the integral inclusion of everyone in everyone determines the conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for everyone to be completely corrected. That means that each person must feel their inclusion in absolutely everyone and everyone in them.
Apart from the small particle Malchut, which is within me, everything else is from everyone else. Only one point of Malchut within me is mine. Therefore, it can only work to unite everyone within me. Your point of Malchut is intended only to unite everyone within you. And so on.
The integral system presupposes a simple combination of its parts where each part consists of only one point, which annuls itself and works entirely for the sake of bestowal. And what does it give? That which it receives from the Creator. And to whom does it give it? It gives it to all those points within it from all the other parts. It is all simple.
In principle, no person has anything except what they receive from the Creator and what they give to others. And who are they? Nobody, a zero. But they make themselves this way; they receive everything from the Creator on one side and give it all to others on the other while themselves are a conduit from the Creator to the others. That is the work of each element of the integral system. That is what we must achieve.
And then there is nothing to fear, think about, or discuss. One must simply be a transitional element from one to the others—from the Creator to the creations and from the creations to the Creator. That is the best state where everyone is free and perfect!
In this state, there is everything from all creation—one attains a complete sense of the Creator, the entire world, and all souls within themselves. On one hand they are equal to Adam, the collective soul; on the other hand they are within the filling of this soul. Thus, everyone includes both creation and the Creator within ourselves, even though we are merely one point.

Question: When you explain Kabbalistic material, you use a limited number of phrases and words, but simultaneously, you convey a whole bouquet of your feelings in different combinations. How is that possible?
Answer: In principle, as soon as you start reducing everything to ten parts of the soul, or the five worlds, or the inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature, then everything becomes very concrete, very compact. Therefore, the explanation can be through a manageable number of words.
You reduce it all to some definitions, like, in chemistry to atoms, molecules, and valences. It is the same with us. It is the coarseness of the screen, the magnitude of desire and its thickness, the magnitude of light and its various states, that is five lights, five screens, five types of egoism thickness over it, the combination between them. All this is a small, specific vocabulary.
All the enormous impression and all the richness of conveying feelings and thoughts is in the combination of these few parameters.
But they evoke various opposite sensations in us. And therefore, by going through just a hundred words, you express absolutely everything you can in human existence, not only in our world, but all worlds. The main thing is for a person to feel what you are talking about. And then there will be a very concrete language between you.
In Kabbalah, the vocabulary is minimal, just like for chemists and physicists. They do not have many words and phrases either. The most important is the combination of parameters in all possible combinations and connections. They give the entire palette of sensations and thoughts.

Once, we were all together in one desire, in what is known as ‘Adam’s soul,’ filled with light. Then that state fragmented and in each of us remained a spark of that light, which used to fill us with the qualities of bestowal, love, and mutual connection.
Now, it is just a spark without a course, without any direction. Therefore, we can say that there is something in us, but we do not know what.
The questions arise: what can we ask from our friends, and what can we absorb from them to fuel this spark and turn it into a light that fills my great desire, which will help us return to that same soul to immense desire and fulfillment?
From our past state, we retain Reshimot (spiritual informational records) that we have something to return to and something to start with.
So we must urge and prod each other to truly desire to find ourselves in that state again.

Question: How can we work with thoughts that hit us?
Answer: First we need to consider where these thoughts come from. Of course, from the Creator.
What does He want from us? Should we receive or give? We must collect all these thoughts that collect in us and find out what is ultimately required of us and what we can do.
This analysis will lead us to correct actions, and we will receive the upper light for the sake of the Creator and pass it through us to Him.
Question: How can we learn to do this kind of work quickly so that these thoughts do not get stuck in us?
Answer: It depends on how much we work with them.

Question: Some principles make it apparent to a person what he is annulling before the ten.
What should be considered a foundation in the ten if everyone follows his heart? After all, this irritates us: one heard the teacher one way and the other heard him differently.
Answer: It will continue for a long time until your impressions of the group and what we are going through begin to coincide. Therefore, the contradictions that arise regarding your friends are very useful.
After all, everything in each of us comes from the Creator. And everything that contradicts our friends in each of us also comes from Him.
See how the Creator stirs up all kinds of contradictions with one movement. And all this so that we can better understand His capabilities. So let’s move on and see what happens to us.
