Question: Which prayer is not pleasing to the Creator?
Answer: Egoistic ones.
Question: It is said that you need to bring your desire closer to the desire of the Creator and then He will answer your prayer. What is this process?
Answer: To desire what He desires, and He only desires our correction. Therefore, a person who strives for correction comes closer to the Creator.
Question: Which prayer is more important for the Creator: the prayer of many, or the cry, tears, and true repentance of an individual?
Answer: The prayer for everyone.

Question: What should we pay attention to so that we understand that our desire to receive is truly being corrected and purified?
Answer: To feel this you must attract all your aspirations to a certain center of desires and gather the center of the group to attract the reforming light to all these desires. That is when you will feel the correction.
Question: Will the landmarks be only in feelings, in states, or could there be some rational calculations here?
Answer: No, only sensory ones.

Question: Do we need to be concerned about the advancement of friends who do not want it?
Answer: There is no need to, you won’t drag them against their will.
Question: What if we are in the same boat?
Answer: It doesn’t matter. A person must work on achieving what he wants himself. We can only help him if he wants to.
The people in our group give their consent a priori to advance with us, so we care about them but not about others.
Question: Should we oblige them to show up at least twice a week?
Answer: No, leave them alone. This will only make it worse for you.

Answer: Gradually ask the Creator about everything; He will help you approach this.

Answer: You need to unite more and more with each other in your ten and raise a collective prayer to the Creator, and you will succeed.
Question: What can be called Katnut (small state) in our relationships?
Answer: Katnut is a particular measure of filling for Malchut, which accepts this filling and considers it sufficient for the time being.

We must show each other how much we desire to connect because it is precisely in the connection between us that we attain the Creator.
The Creator cannot be revealed in one person. At a minimum, two people are necessary, two who reject each other and simultaneously strive to be together above their egoism. There must be a dipole, two interconnected opposite qualities: love and hate, one above the other.
That is a challenge for humanity because people do not understand it. Either I am all in love or entirely feel hatred. Either I love a little or hate a little. However, opposing these two qualities and connecting them one above the other is very difficult.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to live in this, not rejecting, but developing both qualities—the thickness of egoism (Aviut), the restriction of its direct use (Tzimtzum), and the screen (Masach)—when I begin to work above egoism in the quality of bestowal, in connection with the upper light, i.e., in love. Then I turn into a complete Partzuf—a soul.
The problem is that I have to implement all this. Kabbalah is not a simple method. Such an action requires gradual mastery. It is truly a wisdom, a skill that must be learned gradually. Therefore, spiritual work takes many years.

Question: Is it enough for me to set a good example for the friend without expecting any reaction or should I still check his response?
Answer: You do not expect any reaction from your friend that would oblige you to continue setting positive examples.
You wait for your friend’s reaction to adjust your own, to change your attitude to an even more advanced one. That is, the direction is always positive toward getting closer to each other and greater mutual penetration into the quality of bestowal that would fill the space between you.
Question: What is the next degree in this situation?
Answer: The next degree in this situation means that despite rejection, you understand that you must move forward with reason, feelings, thoughts, and intentions. You keep yourself in a state of rejection and build a connection above it.
In such mutual internal tension, you move forward. If you think there should be some kind of love or romance here, this is certainly not Kabbalah. In Kabbalah, there are only two opposite states, one above the other. Then, you begin to ascend from our world to the next level.

Question: Your teacher Rabash knew all the states that you were going through. Knowing that you had to go through terrible despair, hopelessness, could he not have helped you in any way?
Answer: Did he not go through such states himself? He went through them the same way I am now, the same way my students go through and will go through them.
Every Kabbalist goes through absolutely all states. That is why he can write for us. No soul, starting from our world and up to complete correction, can jump over any state.
Question: You said that Rabash was patient and that you could even yell at him. Was there ever a time when he wanted to kick you out?
Answer: No, he understood everything. Once, after Rabash’s death, I met a friend that earlier had studied together with me at his place. And he told me: “I remember that you once did not want to go to the sea with Rabash as an escort because you were terribly offended and angry about something. And then I went with him.
While at the sea he said: “Let’s call Michael anyway.” I called you and told you that Rabash wants to talk to you. And you answered: “Tell him I don’t want to talk to him.”
I told him what you said and asked: “Why don’t you kick him out?” And Rabash replied: “I’m not kicking Michael out because he has a special soul.”
That is, he understood that I was really in a terrible state and could not behave in any other way, and whatever was going on with me passes. But with this call, he accelerated my spiritual development.
Of course, he saw who I was, what I was: on one hand, a jerk, but on the other hand, I still had a lot of potential, and therefore he tolerated me.
But I was as loyal to him as I could be! Of course, I had very difficult conditions when I was worried, smoked, shouted, and swore. I don’t think I could have behaved any differently today. No.

Question: How do you learn to recognize that the Creator is clothing on you and what He wants from you?
Answer: This can be felt internally when you work with several levels, higher and lower, you are an adapter between them, and you understand how to make contact with each of them, canceling yourself. Then you represent a thin middle strip between them, which is called a Klipat Noga.
And so does, in principle, each of us. If we communicate with each other correctly, then none of us will have anything but this strip or small dot that glues one level with another.
That is, you must be a completely invisible fastening link in the chain. What does invisible mean? Not violating anything from the previous and subsequent link from you. They cannot be held together without you, and you have to do it. That is the only reason you exist.
And then it turns out that the whole huge organism of souls works ideally when everyone gives everything, everyone does not take up space, and then the place is filled with higher light.
Question: Are you a specific subordinate link in this chain?
Answer: Of course; nothing more.
Question: This chain, including Rabash and Baal HaSulam, goes before you. It does not matter if you exist in physical attire or not, do you still remain in this chain for the entire time until complete correction?
Answer: Absolutely. This cannot change.
If I have connected to Rabash, it is because my soul stands in the hierarchy in a place that determines exactly this connection of mine.
And if certain disciples have come to me, it is because those souls stand in the hierarchy close to me, below me, so that I can conduct a technique on them to the fulfillment that I can receive through Rabash and above from his father, and so on, and so on to the very world of infinity. But this chain is constant, unchangeable.
