Question: How is the state of perfection more than just a merger with the Creator?
Answer: The state of perfection is the ultimate ascent above egoism and closeness to the Creator until complete connection with Him. Essentially it is the final correction where all of man’s egoism works toward not feeling separated from the Creator, but feeling that he desires to cling to the Creator with all his attributes.

The truth is that each of us is in the perfect ten, and only one’s egoistic desires do not allow a person to see that he or she is in an ideal state among ideal people.
And the fact that one sees negative qualities in others, it is said, “One rejects in the measure of his flaw.”
Therefore, if a person sees something imperfect in one’s friends, let him look closely, but only in order to see this imperfection in himself and thus be able to correct himself. Let’s try to have such an attitude.

Question: We are talking about the fact that I must clarify the desire to bestow within myself. If it is completely corrected, can we come to mutual guarantee (Arvut)?
Answer: Yes and no. You can come to mutual guarantee in the ten.
Question: Must the general desire be corrected in the ten?
Answer: Not 100%, but at the levels you are at.
The general Kli is millions, billions of people. And we are talking about fulfilling the guarantee condition in the ten. The ten itself enters spirituality and rises through spiritual levels, 125 steps. At each level there is conception (Ibur), nurturing (Yenika), and maturation (Mochin); that is, more and more levels.
It is so precisely graded that at every moment, by gathering together repeatedly, you can rise and feel how you are rising. As you draw closer, a qualitatively new spiritual state arises in you—the Kli. In it, you feel the increasing revelation of the Creator.

Question: Can you share your experience of how you lifted the spirit in the group when you friends felt tiredness from putting in efforts?
Answer: How can I tell you? First, any of our states are always movement forward. Always! As it is said: “One is elevated in sanctity and never lowered.” Therefore, even if it seems to you that you are falling and going backward, it only seems that way. It is designed that way, like a wheel that turns forward – backward, forward – backward, but moves forward.
Second, as soon as you feel that the awareness of the importance of the goal, the mood, the intention, and the prospect disappears, you should immediately, without delay, sit down to some serious work translating, processing texts, writing on Twitter, on Facebook, it does not matter where; that is, engage in either translations, writing, or disseminating—some kind of effective work. This helps a lot. And most importantly do joint activities in the group.
The states when a person falls are actually good states. The fact is that falling in your egoistic qualities adds egoism. Egoism was hidden, and now you have been given a bit more of it, which means you can start working over it and rise. You will fall again due to an addition of egoism and will start working over it and rise again. In this way, you will constantly be falling—rising, falling—rising.
Therefore, falling is actually moving forward, rising, but along the left line in the development of egoism. In the right line, you are given a sense of rising. But still, in both states you are moving forward.
Question: But if I see that a friend has lost heart, how can I lift his spirits?
Answer: There are many different ways to do this: talk to him, study together, sing together, have meals together, and so on. Try to do everything you can.

Each of us must be Malchut that does not receive anything but only gives. She cancels herself, reflects the light coming to her, and only in this way works for everyone else.
In other words, if I have a group, I must think only about them and how to push them forward. Each group member should think about the same thing and in no case about themself.
This is the work of the friends in the group. Then, the group forms ten Sefirot between them that are interconnected by the properties of bestowal. In them the Creator is reveals Himself.

Question: The only real adapter to the upper system that we can cling to is you, our teacher. How should we use the strength we receive from you?
Answer: I don’t even know what to tell you because my work is to shape you, gather you, and organize you. I feel how you should complement each other to form a certain structure.
It comes together like blocks or bricks, but there is no binding material like cement to hold them together yet. I help you assemble this structure and do it together with you, but it is up to you to ask the Creator to bind it together. That is how it works.

Question: Today we are discussing the topic of conception (Ibur.) How should I care for the ten so that they won’t expel me from their circle and to avoid premature birth or rejection?
Answer: Rejection or what is commonly referred to as miscarriage is very rare. Throughout the nearly 6,000 years of Kabbalistic history such actions were observed only during the exodus from Egypt. It is a very unpleasant phenomenon when pregnancy is interrupted or there are complications during birth.
Such things occur, but are very rare; in practice almost all end well. So you have nothing to worry about or fear. If you are in the group and constantly care for it, there are no problems and everything will be fine.
Our entire work is built on self-annulment, i.e., the annulment of the quality of reception relative to the quality of bestowal. Therefore, only the group can become the womb in which you develop, the mother who cares for you, and you, in turn, care for it.
This is the kind of work where you support yourself in a state of embryo and gradually develop. But an embryo can only form in a state of self-annulment.
What does an embryo in the mother mean? It is a living being that originates from a drop of seed and then gradually develops. During this time, it is completely subordinate to the maternal organism, and this continues for nine months. In spiritual development it can last seven, nine, or twelve months. But that is not important; the main thing is that we must understand the system itself. Conception occurs in the group, and the group must be in the quality of bestowal, in the Creator.
Imagine that you are with the group within the Creator, in the quality of bestowal, love, and you must completely annul yourself along with the whole group before the Creator.
That is, your existence in the mother is the period of your inception. And the development of all your strengths, thoughts, desires, everything, is necessary only for you to unite and become similar to your upper mother, that is, the quality of bestowal, the quality of love, the Creator, in whom you develop. This is how it happens.
So imagine the state we must reach to achieve the degree of spiritual birth. It may seem fantastic, difficult, unattainable, and impossible. No, it is not. In fact, it can happen, and very quickly. Nine months of spiritual development are not the same as nine earthly months; they can pass in a short time.
Therefore, we need to think about how to make ourselves like an embryo. This means gathering in tens where each friend must annul themselves relative to the others, and all together they must annul themselves relative to the Creator.

Question: How necessary is it for a teacher to be physically present at unity activities in which students must independently perform actions?
Answer: There is not a single spiritual teaching that is not transmitted from teacher to students. In any circumstances, wherever you are, wherever you wander in your search, you will see that there is always a teacher and there are students.
We have a special relationship here. I hope to prepare you for a state where you will replace me with a group, when the group will act as a teacher, guide, instructor.
In addition to the teacher, administration is also needed. Everything should be organized as in our world. And instead of the teacher, there will be the group itself. You will correctly feel the unity, reveal the Creator in it, and this will lead you forward, this will be your teacher.
