Question: It is written, “I will bless you in everything you do.” How can we perform every action with the blessing of the Creator?
Answer: I think we need to act directly here. If there is an opportunity to do something for the sake of the Creator, you should do it immediately and inform Him about it. This is called making an action (Ma’ase) and receiving a blessing (Bracha).
Question: How can we inform the Creator that we did something with the intention for Him?
Answer: Talk to Him. The Creator understands your thoughts, words, feelings, what you write on paper, and what you say into a microphone. The Creator is open to all your thoughts.
Question: But in my mind it seems like this goes back into the vessels of reception. If I, like a child, boast to the Creator to get more praise, how can I avoid stealing for myself again?
Answer: You will not steal. Keep using this approach; it is fine. Sometimes a person thinks and thinks for a long time, but they could have spoken with the Creator a thousand times by now.

Question: It is written that when a person remembers the goal, which is mind and heart, the world darkens for him because it is against the body, which is called self-love.
In our work, should we understand what our goal is?
Answer: Of course. How else can you turn to the Creator without a goal? Aimlessly?
Question: I used to have a clear understanding of the goal. But now it feels like all goals have collapsed. Should I search for a new goal or just follow the group?
Answer: Follow the group, this is a must. Integrate into the group. But at the same time, you need to identify a specific goal for yourself, what you want. You need to answer this question for yourself.

Question: You asked us: “How can we reveal the evil inclination each time without touching it?” What does it mean “not to touch the evil inclination”?
Answer: Not touching the evil inclination means not demanding any reception from it, but only to bestow. We have many different egoistic desires, through which we wish to participate only in bestowal.

Question: When a person feels suffering, should they accept this state as it is and connect with the Creator from it, or should they strive to rise above this state?
Answer: A person should definitely strive to rise above it. Otherwise, how will they turn to the Creator? One cannot cry and ask the Creator at the same time. It will not work.
Question: What exactly is the correction during suffering when a person connects with the Creator through their request?
Answer: The Creator, by influencing the person with His light, corrects their desires, their soul.

Question: All nations have their own traditions. But we say that the world Kli is Israel, the people of Israel. I would like to understand if we will gradually come to know these concepts and traditions more deeply and accept them. What is stopping us? It seems to me that this is quite a good, positive aspiration.
Answer: I do not think so. This is a huge mass of laws that a person belonging to the Jewish mass must study. But others have absolutely no use for it. It will just confuse you.
You need to study Kabbalah. The Jews, in addition to this, also need to know their laws, which they are obliged to follow, since without this they will not be close to the Creator.
Question: Won’t this become a kind of stumbling block that will distinguish us from the central group and everyone else?
Answer: I do not think such a state is possible. We do not force anyone to pray or follow any commandments. All this is done voluntarily. If a person is ready for this, regardless of whether one is a Jew or not, this is one’s personal matter. There is no need to pay attention to this. Everyone does what they want.

Question: When the Creator gives us something good, we enjoy it. How do I abandon this desire to receive for myself?
Answer: In order for this desire not to work in you on its own, you need to invest a lot of effort. Therefore, you should feel how much the desire “for your own sake” belittles you and puts you in the farthest state from the Creator.
Therefore, the intention “for oneself” must be changed to the intention “for the sake of the Creator.”

Question: Our ten has entered a period when we no longer want to play with toys, we do not want to receive false pleasures. Where should we start to turn all the pleasures into the right ones?
Answer: Start by checking yourself: How do you treat your time, which is given to you by the Creator at every moment, what do you do with it? That is where you start.
Question: Can we say the responsibilities we take on in the ten for the sake of unification are a great help from egoism?
Answer: No, this is a great help from the Creator who made it so we could unite in the ten and thus move forward with the help of friends.
Question: Are we able to enjoy loving each other? Or is this not a goal, but an intermediary stage in attaining the Creator?
Answer: We will be able to love each other only if we see the manifestation of the Creator in the friend. This is the only way we achieve love.
Question: Should we satisfy the material, egoistic desires of the friends in the ten, or only those related to spiritual goals?
Answer: In general, if I relate to my friends in the property of bestowal and want to give to them, then any of their desires are my opportunity to give.
Question: When you receive fulfillment from the Creator and feel that He is giving it to you, how do you return this pleasure to Him?
Answer: There is no need to return anything. When you do something, always think that you want to please the Creator with it. Do what is good in His eyes.

The Creator has purposely created the evil inclination in us, where we think only of ourselves and are unable to think about others.
In every egoistic desire, there is a possibility of suffering. I keep suffering without understanding why or how. And then, for some people, the so-called point in the heart awakens, meaning contact with the property of bestowal, with the Creator. Through this point, they begin to realize that the problem is thinking only of themselves and they begin to look for a way out of it.
The Creator places them in a group, indicating that with its help, they will gradually change. And so, they begin to ask the Creator to change their nature so that they can feel others or the Creator instead of themselves, which is the same thing.
Such a request, which they repeatedly try to raise to the Creator, helps them begin to feel changes in themselves.
Initially, of course, we think only about ourselves, but after correction, we think only of others and, through others, of the Creator.
Why through others? Because there is nothing to think about the Creator, it is the property of bestowal. To think about Him is to give Him the opportunity to give. How can this be done? If I take the whole world and bring it to Him so He would fill it, I will benefit the whole world and the Creator. I need nothing for myself except to perform this action.

What Brings Contentment To The Creator?
What Does It Mean To Give Contentment To The Creator?
We can increase and decrease pleasure, but in principle, it depends on our Kelim (vessels). If I think for a long time about my desires, try to connect them, and direct them toward a specific goal, toward a specific fulfillment, then by developing them in this way, I will feel greater fulfillment than what comes to me.
Question: Can each moment between the past and the future, which is life, be more clear, more pronounced, and tangible?
Answer: It can if we combine the present, past, and future, and relate them all to the Creator by understanding that all of it comes from Him. This fulfillment is limitless in time, in the intensity of sensation, as well as in the strength of our connection.
