Question: Creation is just the desire to receive. Did the Creator instill in us the ability to bestow, or do we need to ask Him for this?

Answer: We need to ask. We have no abilities or desires to bestow. Only if the Creator influences us with His light can our egoistic desires become altruistic.

Question: How can we move from all our desires to one that is not present in us? How can we want something we cannot even imagine?

Answer: First, desire, not for yourself, but for the Creator and strive not to receive, but to bestow.

From this, you will see that your desires to receive are opposite to those to bestow, so one cannot simply replace the other. There must be a transformation within a person. That is how it happens.

The reason those people agreed to unite into a single group that engages in love of friends is that each of them feels that they have one desire that can unite all their views, so as to receive the strength of love of others (Rabash, Article 8 “Make for Yourself a Rav and Buy Yourself a Friend – 2”).

The Creator gathers such souls from all over the world. We see how people suddenly find us, start listening, organize, unite, and come to conventions. This happens under the influence of the upper light, which draws ever closer to us. As a result, we gradually rise like sprouts from the earth.

This is how the article “The Flower Buds” in The Book of Zohar begins: “The flower buds have appeared in the land.” This is how the souls grow.

People are given the desire to unite into a group and an explanation that this is necessary for them to come closer to each other up to the point of loving one another. In our world, the word “love” has become so worn out that it manifests as something purely egoistic.

But when we begin to apply this concept to our friends, we start from the premise that we are one soul. There can be no greater connection between individual souls than when we unite into one integral whole. The general program of creation drives us toward this.

Question: The Creator gave us a group, a ten. If everything is good, well-established, and comfortable in it, is this proof of our connection with the Creator? How can we strengthen this connection?

Answer: You can strengthen the connection only by working together as one person with one heart, and all your thoughts and desires will be directed to bestowing something to the Creator.

What is there between you that you can give to Him? Raise your requests to Him.

Question: What practical actions do we need to take in order to create a Kli capable of receiving the royal gift of spiritual pleasure?

Answer: Unite with each other, be as close to each other as possible, and ask Him to connect and fill you even more.

It is impossible for an individual to obtain inner light before one is rewarded with repentance (Rabash, Assorted Notes, #459, “Because of Humbleness and Fear of the Lord”).

Question: What is this repentance?

Answer: Getting closer to the Creator.

Question: What can we bring from the individual to the collective besides intention, prayer, and actions toward connection?

Answer: Nothing more is needed.

Question: In what state should a person reach the feeling of humbleness each time to be granted help from above?

Answer: Only in the state of the right prayer, the right request.

Question: Throughout life a person experiences different states, from individual to collective. What does he take with him at the end of his earthly journey, the individual or the collective?

Answer: Only the part that can ascend to the Creator.

Question: What will be the signs in the work in the ten that we are growing in mutual annulment, humbleness, and fear before the Creator?

Answer: You will feel that your thoughts and intentions align and that you all understand how to work and understand the sources together.

Question: Why does the Creator sometimes erase the memory, the sense of His greatness?

Answer: So that we have space to work and can again realize why we act this way toward each other and Him.

Question: What creates joy, or what does it form from the feeling of being satisfied with little: serving the King for an individual or for the entire world group as a whole?

Answer: To be satisfied with little is generally wrong. The fact is that when we receive some small return from the Creator, the spark of light sent by Him turns inside us into a huge fire of love, understanding, and gravitation toward Him.

So it is just a saying that you have to limit yourself to something small.

Comment: You said that our movement follows the law of “negation of negation.” So past experience does not help us and turns into a  Klipa.                    .

My Response: This is intended for you to annul yourself before your friends and before the Creator. When you annul yourself, it becomes clear to you how to act.

Question: How does the popular quote work here: “There is none so wise as the experienced”?

Answer: When you annul yourself before your friends and before the Creator, you begin to understand how to make a new state from the past one. It is only by annulling yourself! Then the upper light will create a new state in you.

Question: You say that we only need to change our intention. Is the quality of the intention either zero or 100 percent?

Answer: The entire system is calibrated precisely in intentions. The ladder (Sulam) is a constantly changing intention over our egoistic desires in strength and quality.

Theft in the spiritual sense is the result of our uncorrected qualities. We can do this either consciously or unconsciously.

Question: Does the severity of the punishment depend on whether the person does it consciously or not?

Answer: Of course it does because a person judges himself. If he realizes that he has committed a theft, this realization already has lifted part of the punishment. But if it happened unconsciously, then he will “sort of” receive a punishment. Let him reflect on it, as he needs to learn from this.

Question: Why is it that if a person sins in the spiritual sense once, he is forgiven, but if he repeats the sin and says, “I have eaten and will eat again,” he is punished?

Answer: The first time, he sinned in a moment of weakness without thinking. But he received punishment for this. That is, the cause is the theft on his part, and the effect is the punishment. That means he must work on it, find out from whom he received the punishment, and understand what it brings to him in action, life, and the world. Therefore, the second time, it is no longer forgiven. In this case he is held fully accountable.

At that time, he knows that he needs lowliness, so he searches for some fault in himself (Rabash, Assorted Notes 459, “Because of Humbleness and the Fear of the Lord”).

Question: How does the individual arrogance of the ego conclude it needs to be humbled?

Answer: When a person does not achieve his goal and constantly remains in one place, a state that lasts for years, he realizes he needs to bow his head before others. This allows him to turn to the Creator for correction.

Question: Do I understand correctly that this is an endless process?

Answer: No, there is an end. Everything has an end.
