Question: Why is the concealment of the Creator called a contradiction? Does it mean we will live increasingly in contradictions if we do nothing?

Answer: Yes that is correct. Therefore, as soon as we feel that we are in a state of descent, distanced from the Creator, we must make efforts, climb out of the descent, and approach the Creator to draw closer to Him.

Question: How can we always move from destruction to creation within the group of ten? In other words, is annulment before friends the right path to creation?

Answer: Yes, annulling oneself before friends is one of the correct actions.

Question: How can we measure our approach and faith in the Creator during contradictions?

Answer: We cannot do this yet. The most we can determine is whether we are turning to the Creator or not. Later, all this will take concrete forms.

Question: How can one make an effort toward faith above reason during a descent when a person wavers and does not feel the light?

Answer: Only by holding on to friends, the group, and the articles we study.

Question: Is there a difference in the impact on the Creator when we pray out of suffering or joy and gratitude?

Answer: Of course there is. When we thank the Creator, we are closer to Him, and if we ask to cancel the suffering, we are far from Him.

We must not be grateful for suffering. It is unnatural. We must correct ourselves and be thankful for the correction.

Question: It is said that the contradiction by elders is when they believe that the Creator is tending to them, and from this they derive vitality. How can we derive vitality the way the elders do?

Answer: The contradiction by elders is like a connection. The connection among the young is like rejection. To derive vitality like the elders, we must be in a state of connection with friends and with the Creator and constantly think about strengthening this connection. Nothing else.

Question: Can we find both elders and young within ourselves?

Answer: Yes, these are our desires. Gradually you will begin to understand who is against, who is in favor, and so on.

Question: How can we determine that a desire has reached the level of an “elder”?

Answer: This does not happen immediately. Gradually you will see it.

Question: Should a person regret that they cannot delight the Creator as much as He wants to delight everyone?

Answer: Yes, one should think about this and ask the Creator to give us such vessels of bestowal (Kelim de Hashpa’a) when we can gather everything we reveal and receive, collect it together, and pass it on to the Creator.

Question: Is there a difference between prayer and a request to the Creator?

Answer: No, essentially it is the same thing.

Question: We should ask the Creator to awaken love for others in all of humanity. To achieve this, should we make calculations based on the quality or the quantity of our unity?

Answer: Both quantity and quality. Ideally, there should be ten friends aiming for the highest quality of connection between them.
