Question: At night, the preparation of the vessels for the day occurs. What is the proper preparation for them to resemble the light?
Answer: To resemble the light we must study and accept it as if it always shines both at night and during the day.
Question: If a person did not complete their work on the previous degree, how can they achieve a state of faith above reason where they have a clear feeling and understanding that the Creator governs creation as good that does good during the current night?
Answer: A person prays, asks, and receives strength, knowledge, and the sensation that the Creator shines for him.
Question: We perform external actions: study, work in a group of ten, disseminate, and this can be done out of habit and even increased. But what does the inner, constantly increasing tuning to the Creator consist of?
Answer: Inner attunement to the Creator is aimed at bringing Him contentment. What is bringing Him contentment? Try to find out and do that.
Question: How is the intensity of love for the Creator measured and how can it be increased?
Answer: The intensity of the love for the Creator is measured by the number of attempts to draw closer to the Creator and by the quantity and quality of giving to Him. As a result, a person begins to truly give to the Creator. The proof of your giving and love for Him is that you constantly think about Him, do not forget, do not distance yourself, and do not hide from Him, but always maintain a connection with Him.

Question: How can past efforts be revived? If a person is in a different state now, returning to the same effort he once made is impossible.
Answer: No, if a person climbs the steps of one’s attainment, that is, the steps of the spiritual ladder, then all one’s efforts are also on it, and a person rises precisely thanks to them.
It is as if the person solves problems, like in school during lessons: one solves a problem, goes up to the next level, solves another one, and goes up another level. This is how it happens.

Question: What builds a screen in us that can receive pleasure from the Creator? Is it the experience of previous states in which we received from Him, losing connection with Him, or a discipline of the mind?
Answer: The screen builds the right connection in me between my desire and the desire of the Creator. It is said about this: “Make your desire like His so He would make His desire like yours.” It is based on reason.
Question: Is the desire of the soul the same desire or different?
Answer: No, these are the same desires. When you peel all the husks from them, they combine, and you will feel that this is your spiritual Kli. The light that enters it will be the appearance of the Creator to you.
Question: How can we understand how the desire of the soul differs from the desire of the Creator?
Answer: The desire of the soul is your desire to merge with Him. And the Creator’s desire is the same toward you.

Question: Pleasure comes from the Creator. How can I strengthen my connection with the Creator at this point so that I bestow to Him rather than receive for myself?
Answer: If you restrict your connection with the Creator, meaning you do not sever the connection, but simply do not receive pleasure and stop yourself in order to establish your relationship, you will not receive anything until you have established it.
But once you do the calculation and see that you can create a condition for the Creator to receive contentment from your action, you start implementing it.
Question: How can I properly establish our relationship so that the Creator receives contentment from my action now?
Answer: To do this, you need to stop receiving from the Creator what He wants to give, pause, and feel in what state you are with the Creator. You make a restriction (Tzimtzum) on your desire to receive and see how you can be connected with the Creator without breaking the conditions of the restriction.
Question: Will He give me the understanding of how to stay connected with Him without breaking this connection if I make a restriction on myself?
Answer: You have to twist it this way and that. This is called “flirting” or “dancing” with the Creator. There are various terms describing the movement of creation relative to the Creator and vice versa. Overall, it is like a dance.
Question: How does this flirting manifest? Is it in a request and in a prayer?
Answer: Yes, essentially, the Creator feels it.

Question: What does spiritual screen (Masach) mean? What is this setting within me that allows me to make the right choice?
Answer: A screen means that I proceed not according to my own opinion, but above it. It is based on this principle that I judge, measure, and weigh the possibilities of receiving and bestowing. This is called working with a screen.
Question: Can we say that the screen is what we study in Kabbalah when building a Partzuf?
Answer: When we place a screen against the light, it is much larger than we can imagine. The desire that is revealed under the screen is also immense.
We reject the upper light, we do not want to receive it. Only after shielding ourselves with the screen can we decide how to receive the light, how much, for what purpose, and why.
Question: Does this mean that in any case we must choose to work above reason?
Answer: Of course, on all spiritual degrees we are obliged to work with faith above reason.

Comment: There are different souls, i.e., those who are awakened by the Creator and there are those who must awaken through us. It seems like this group coincides with those who came to Abraham in Ancient Babylon and became the people of Israel.
My Response: You do not need to elaborate on this because you will not understand anything anyway since you do not attain these souls at the level at which they were. It is useless to assume anything. You will only confuse yourself with incorrect conclusions.
It has nothing to do with those souls. They have done their job and continue their correction at other levels. After all, souls are at all levels of the spiritual world and our world. There are only those who have never been subject to correction.
Once we were all in the common soul of Adam, then we fell to the level of our world, and today we begin our ascent. We should not be confused with the souls of Abraham’s time or others. Someday, you will reveal this in practice, not based on your imagination.
When receiving an awakening from above, you need to know what to do with it: unite with each other, attract the upper light, etc. The closer you become to each other, the more actively you will realize your new properties.
In these properties, you will attain new states up to those upper ones in which the souls used to be or are now, for example, Abraham, Terah, and others. These are high levels.

Question: Is the scheme of our relationships with the Creator a chain of states toward bestowal? How can we hold onto all these states?
Answer: There is no need to hold onto anything. Take one of these states and try to correct it. Then the next one, then another, and another. That is all.
Question: If a person is in a state of righteousness, united with the Creator, and needs nothing more, can the Creator leave him alone and not demand more effort?
Answer: This is the worst punishment from the Creator. Do not stay in these states.
Question: On one hand, we learn that a person must come to the knowledge of their insignificance, that they are an egoist. On the other hand, it writes that we are created in the likeness of the Creator. The question is: when can a person stop revealing this evil and start seeking good in themselves and others? How can one get out of this point of misery?
Answer: When a person finishes exploring and correcting oneself and achieves final correction, he sees who he was when he started the work of correction and what he has achieved now.
Question: It writes that one must love the Creator with both inclinations. In the good inclination, we resemble the Creator’s attributes and it is easy for us to love the Creator. But how can one love the Creator with the evil inclination?
Answer: It will come, do not worry. First correct what you have.
