Question: When I become a conduit between the Creator and creation, what do I receive from the Creator and what do I pass on to others?

Answer: From the Creator, you receive fulfillment and pass it on to others. Fulfillment is the fulfillment of the desires of others to the extent they wish to be interconnected.

In Kabbalah, we speak only of fulfilling desires to bestow, where you want to bestow to another and in doing so, you are fulfilled. That makes you similar to the Creator.

You therefore see that all of Israel are responsible for one another, both on the positive side and on the negative side. On the positive side, if they keep the Arvut to the point that each one cares and satisfies the needs of his friends, they can fully observe the Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], meaning to bring contentment to their Maker (Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]”).

The law of complete interconnection in the integral system obliges us to receive from everyone and to bestow to everyone. Integral dependence on both reception and bestowal applies to each of us. We evoke the Creator’s pleasure with these actions, which we feel in the light He immediately fills us with.

Question: What does bestowing to friends mean?

Answer: Bestowal is helping friends to support them within the ten in an integral connection with everyone. I must take care of this, embrace them like the mother of small children, and hold them together so that in any condition they connect.

Question: How do I know that I am fulfilling the desire of the Creator and not the fantasies of my egoism?

Answer: To do this, first of all, you must fulfill not your desires, but the desires of others. Secondly, you must only do what a friend needs to support him in the group. That is all.

Question: Can we bring contentment to the Creator through intention alone or through actions?

Answer: Only through intention. Actions do not matter. They can be actions of receiving or bestowing. The main thing is the intention.

Question: How can I understand if my inner work is on the right track?

Answer: Your inner work is on the right track if you constantly feel the Creator and through Him the whole world.

Question: When we work with the sources, we increase concentration on intention, but do not allow the light to enter us. We need to strengthen our intention to learn to control this process. What determines when I will feel this? Is it purity or the efforts themselves?

Answer: It depends on the purity of efforts.

Question: Can we strive to identify whether the Creator receives contentment from our actions?

Answer: We can determine this. Gradually, we will master it.

Question: What else can be included in the daily work in the ten besides connection, intention, and desire? How can we reveal the inner vision of the ten?

Answer: Simply talk about this topic among yourselves, gradually reveal yourselves and your friends within your circle. In this way you will reach a state where everything becomes clear to you.

Question: When you strive to awaken the ten and clarify the intention behind your actions, you often see that there is no intention for the sake of bestowal. Then you reach a dead end and have no strength to continue. Where can you find the strength to awaken the ten from truth and not from falsehood?

Answer: Think about what you need to do. Constantly practice actions for the sake of your friends, and ask the Creator for them.

This is called “habit becomes second nature.” Then you will be able to be closer to them in this way.
