Question: You said that we need to advance toward the Creator every day even if it is just by a millimeter. It feels like we are not advancing toward Him, but rather are moving away. Can this feeling of moving away be considered progress?
Answer: Distancing can be somewhat deceptive because the closer you get to the Creator, the more it seems that you are getting worse.
Question: Why does the Creator do this?
Answer: He does not do it. It happens because you are close to the ideal of bestowal and love. In spirituality, there are different requirements.

Question: If we destroy the experience of youth, how do we accumulate what is necessary for building the soul?
Answer: It is done gradually. We must constantly try to ask the Creator to help us connect and ascend.
Question: What exactly is the mistake of youth? If young people want to build, it seems right.
Answer: What they want to build will not stand because youth ruins everything.
Young people still do not have a clear understanding of how to build correctly.

Question: How does a Kabbalist define suffering? What is suffering for him?
Answer: The suffering of a Kabbalist is the inability to please the Creator. To reach such a state, you need to think, reason, be connected with your friends, and try to unite even more with each other.
Question: Without regrets, there are no corrections. Does the Kabbalist wait for regrets to come alone, or does he somehow cause them?
Answer: He does not call them. They come.

Question: You said that only in connection with the upper force is the work of correction possible, and this is the prayer of the ten.
What should our request be so that we truly connect with the upper force and have the opportunity to be corrected?
Answer: Your appeal should be to a single Creator from a single ten.
To receive something from the Creator, you must be like the Creator—united in one system.
A sign of your connection with this force and the ability to work with it is that you receive support, correction, and a certain impact from the Creator.

Question: Why is talking to the ten about your personal feelings, experiences, and sensations not allowed? How can I harm myself and my ten with this?
Answer: When you reveal your personal feelings, you harm yourself and everyone else. We can only talk about our common aspirations. Period! That’s it!
I see that this is not clear to you yet. Therefore, accept it as a law. There are many laws that we follow and live by until we understand their necessity. If you do not do this, you will harm yourself, specifically yourself.

By uniting with my friends, I try to receive the upper light, not for myself, but for them, in order to impart it to them.
I do this precisely because I connect with them, have some understanding of their desires and needs, and thus I raise their desires to the Creator, to the light, to fulfillment from the Creator.
Question: Should they feel fulfilled?
Answer: Not necessarily.
Question: What helps a person strengthen his faith?
Answer: Only connection with the friends where everyone supports each other.

Question: Is it possible to call Bnei Baruch elders?
Answer: Bnei Baruch is neither old nor young. It is just a gathering of people who want to reach a connection with the Creator.
Question: Is destruction always the experience of a state of “death” for egoism?
Answer: No, not that much. The damage can be insignificant. For example, your hopes and expectations in connection with your friends may also be destroyed.
Question: The Creator does all the actions. What is the proper participation in the construction of the Temple? How do I become involved in the activities He conducts with us?
Answer: To do that, you must feel what He is doing and follow the same paths.
Question: How do you tune in to hear the truth and not what our desire to receive wants?
Answer: Read Rabash’s articles about this, and you will hear the voice of the Creator.
Question: How can we help the Creator build a solid foundation for the Temple and the Temple itself?
Answer: Ask Him for it, try to draw closer to Him, give Him the strength we have.
