Question: Is annulment a skill?
Answer: Annulment is when you have no personal involvement in the future. You are like a slave who is obliged to do everything your master tells you. But at the same time, you do not expect any reward. You fulfill his desire not involuntarily, but consciously, of your own freewill.
Question: Is revealing the friend’s Hisaron my goal?
Answer: You cannot reveal his Hisaron and you never will. You strive with all your desire to help him. You do not reveal it for yourself, but wish to fully participate in it. In this, you are his slave.

Question: Is light something necessary for our correction or something we earn and become worthy of receiving?
Answer: Initially, only one quality exists: the quality of bestowal. It creates the opposite quality of reception. The quality of bestowal is called light, altruism; the quality of reception is called darkness, egoism. Both qualities coexist; the quality of bestowal is primary and the quality of reception is secondary.
The task of the Creator (the property of bestowal) is to bring the property of reception to similarity with Him so that it is on the same degree as the Creator. In this way, the Creator reveals His greatness, how He can create something opposite, yet equal to Himself.
This is the principle of the origin of creation, and we must reach this state. Since we were created from the quality of reception, we must create an intention on this property to use receiving for the sake of giving because receiving is our nature and it does not change.
And then the greater the egoism I work with in my property of receiving, with zero, first, second, third, fourth, the more I ascend. That is how it works.
So the quality of reception is not harmful; it is nature. Nature can be neither bad nor good. The only thing we need is to work with the quality of reception revealed in us with the intention to bestow.
If I receive for the sake of bestowal, then everything is fine; by this I bestow, although in principle my action is an action of reception. Only the intention changes. Thus, everything is determined by intention and not by mechanical action.

Question: Is it correct to use physical examples to aid in developing a spiritual community?
Answer: We should take examples only from the books of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and use them to evaluate every action.
Question: What seems beautiful to us is not always true; we can be influenced by trends or education. What is a “true” spiritual work?
Answer: True spiritual work is when I connect with my ten, hold them together through my efforts, and attract them to come closer to the Creator.
Question: Rabash writes that only the person himself must believe in the immense importance of being worthy of the king’s presence. What does this action “must believe” mean?
Answer: A person must believe that the upper force is guiding him toward the spiritual goal.
Question: Does our soul already know the truth? How can we make a “true” choice through the soul, even in worldly matters?
Answer: You do not know this yet, but ultimately, we will come to this, and you will receive notification of the truth from there.
Question: How can we keep ourselves above egoism if two friends are making remarks to each other in front of the entire group about how each should change?
Answer: You should talk first with one, then with the other. Ideally, the entire group should take it upon themselves to embrace them with warmth.

Question: The value of corporeal things depends on advertising. There is a prohibition against sharing one’s spiritual states and experiences in spirituality. How can we correctly advertise spirituality to friends?
Answer: We need to support friends who yearn to come closer to the Creator and then gradually we will come to feel what the Creator feels. By striving to be closer to Him, we will begin to see the world as the Creator does.
Question: So I say that a particular friend in the group is probably close to the Creator; therefore I envy him. Is that right?
Answer: Suppose you think so and are confident about it. You must be responsible for your words, especially when you speak about someone else.
Question: Then how do I advertise spirituality correctly?
Answer: You do not need to advertise it.
Question: I cannot speak about myself, but I can about a friend. How can I be sure that he is close to the Creator? Today he is close and tomorrow, God forbid, he might show a different side.
Answer: That is why you should not advertise. If a person constantly strives for the truth and desires to move toward it with friends from within their connection, this gives us confidence that he is on the right path toward the right goal.

Question: We learn that the Creator brings us out of a state of merging with Him by exposing a new layer of evil. What kind of situation is it when the person has to look where to make efforts in a state of merging with Him?
Answer: A person must look for where he can add more effort for connection with the Creator to manifest there.
Question: The state of merging with the Creator has several stages. There is my merging with the Creator and then the merging of all humanity with Him. Is that why additional effort is required?
Answer: Not only that, even your merging with the Creator divides into many stages.
Question: What if what seemed like effort now seems like a mistake? How do I return to these states?
Answer: Continue to work on correction.

Question: If you cannot talk about your sensations and feelings in the ten, what should you talk about?
Answer: It is not customary to talk about personal internal feelings in the ten since you can harm yourself and your friends by doing this.
What do we usually talk about? About the greatness of the group, the greatness of the Creator, and what we should strive for, not me personally but all of us together.
You cannot talk about what you are experiencing, how you feel, your emotions, and personal aspirations.
Basically we discuss what is written in the articles.

Question: During workshops, there is warmth and good connection between us. Is there any spirituality in this or is it egoism?
Answer: We should feel the warmth coming from our friends because we are in such a close-knit society. This is very good.
Anyone who does not feel this should work on feeling this. Everyone should suffer with their friends, worry with them, and rejoice with them, we should be working in unison and harmony.
