Question: We are supposed to be in prayer all day, and before we even turn to the Creator, He will answer. How can we reconcile these two points? It seems like there are many blank spots.
Answer: Yes, each point is a blank spot, and they all connect together. But in order to connect them, you must continuously move forward. Gradually, you will see how your points blend into a common white background, on which your connections with your friends and the Creator will begin to emerge.

Question: The Creator gives the soul, which means intention. So does the quality of the intention define the soul?
Answer: The soul can only be formed when there is an intention to bestow. To the extent there is this intention, the upper light descends upon a person, shapes them, and creates them within the quality of bestowal. The intention to bestow is called the soul.
Question: How can we understand that we are coming closer to the soul? What are the correct indicators?
Answer: The indicators are the connection between you, and through it, the connection with the Creator. In this work, we only have two steps: to reach the quality of the connection between us in the ten and then to connect this ten with the Creator. That’s all. Nothing more is needed.

As it is written, “In the end, after all is heard, fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man.” Our sages said the whole world was created only for this” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 552, “He Who Comes to Purify Is Aided—1).
Question: What does the quality of fear God add to a man’s system? Why is it so important?
Answer: It is important for a person to not fall into the desire to receive, to always hold oneself in the desire to bestow, and to maintain a clear connection with the Creator.
Just as the Creator wishes to act for the sake of a person, so too must the person act for the sake of the Creator.
Question: But why must one necessarily fear? Wouldn’t it be enough to just have respect for the Creator?
Answer: No, respect alone is not enough. There must be fear, fear that you might fall into the quality of receiving and start receiving for yourself.

Question: What does it mean that through the ten I receive the mind, which is the true spiritual Kli?
Answer: It means that everything you receive comes from the Creator through your friends. You feel how it descends upon you and compels you to act. Therefore, something very interesting happens here, friends influence you with their thoughts and force you to perceive both the internal and external in spiritual work.
Question: What do my friends have that is not in me, and by finding it, I will be able to achieve correction?
Answer: There is a certain need in you to feel the common desire, the common aspiration of your ten toward connection with each other and with the Creator. This is the need of the soul.
Question: What does it mean to be the material of the Creator in the ten and how do we receive correctly from the ten in order to bestow?
Answer: For this you need to try to be together all the time in lessons and spiritual work, try to imagine, see, and feel how much you can unite by making efforts. In unification, you will be able to feel new opportunities, new desires, new intentions, and thus move forward.

Question: It is said that first you need to act, and then you will come to the level of righteous and receive strength in faith above reason. How can we do it? For example, there are friends in the ten who cannot come to class. It lasts for months. How can they gain the strength to rise to faith above reason?
Answer: With prayer. It is said about this: “If you leave Me for one day,” the Creator says to man, “I will leave you for two days.” This happens very firmly. Therefore, we must make friends come to the lessons, pick them up, stop by, call them, etc.
I know myself how difficult it is to return to lessons after a long break.
Question: You said the Creator leaves us for two days if we leave Him for one. How does a person make up for these days? How can one speed up the times?
Answer: Only through lessons. We study in the morning and at noon. Anyone who wants can also connect in the evening. So you have all the conditions.

Question: Is a prayer born when I make efforts with the right intention?
Answer: It all depends on the strength of our connection, on how much we strive for bestowal between ourselves and above ourselves so as to transform all our initially egoistic relationships into bestowal.
After all, we do not have the power of bestowal. We build it by rising above our egoism and beginning to reformat it into the ability to bestow. We make the Creator out of ourselves. This is what the Creator said: “You make Me.” We really create Him.
A prayer is born when I make efforts with the right intention, either when I cannot make efforts and understand that I am not able to make them or when I can make efforts, but I understand that they are wrong and at the same time I do not have any others.
A prayer can be for any reason; the main thing is that its final direction is to the Creator. Then it can be called a prayer.

We told each other even before getting married that we did not want to bring children into this world. We are two lonely souls who found each other and who understand that the world is terrible. We decided that we would live for each other. But now I am writing to you being five months pregnant. It is too late for abortion. We agonized over the decision, whether to go through with it or not, and now I will be giving birth. Yet, we both do not understand how we got here. (From a letter to Dr Laitman)
Answer: You were brought to this.
My first question is: how could this happen to us? We clearly did not want this.
Answer: Many people would not want children, but life itself pushes them to conceive a child.
Question: When you say “life itself,” are you hinting at someone or something?
Answer: I am hinting at the fact that nature made us this way, and that is why we end up here.
Question: So resistance is futile?
Answer: There are people who consciously, even excessively, build such boundaries around themselves saying “We do not want this and that is final.” There are societies like that too.
Question: Who forces a person to cross this boundary? Is this, in principle, also something that happens from above?
Answer: Yes.
Question: So you do not understand how it happened, but that means you were closed off in that moment?
Answer: Yes.
How can we protect our future child from this world? What can we do, how can we raise him so that he is not touched by this dirt?
Answer: I don’t know. Raise him well and give him a good education, a reliable profession. That is all.
Question: When you say “raise him well,” what do you mean by that?
Answer: Raise him well means knowing how to relate to people in a way that elicits positive reactions from them. That is it.
Question: Is that what you mean, not education, but upbringing specifically?
Answer: Yes, upbringing.
Question: What advice can you give to a couple who finds themselves in a situation where their decisions and plans have changed and they are expecting a child?
Answer: Solve all these problems together.
Question: And go for it?
Answer: Go for it. How else? Work through it together and support each other. And they will see that this shared child actually connects them and gives them a new chapter in life, in existence.
Question: So this becomes their new life, right?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What is the best way to deal with anxiety about a future child? This is more of a general advice for others. There is anxiety about a future child, not wanting to give birth. How do you deal with this anxiety?
Answer: This is natural. You need to give birth, you need to raise the child and do everything you can. And gradually, you will see yourself one day as a mature person, a grandparent.
Question: What practical steps can be taken right now during pregnancy to create a safe environment for the child? Because this is something that worries them constantly.
Answer: The most important thing is for the child to understand life. This means understanding why a person exists, how they should behave, which people to avoid, which to get closer to, and so on. In other words, teach them how to interact correctly with this world.
Question: You are giving some very simple, vital, wise advice. Stay away from certain people, get closer to others, try to love others so that they love you. Is that the main thing in upbringing?
Answer: Of course! What else could there be?
Question: How is it that nowadays there are so many people being raised completely differently? That is, people who are filled with hatred…
Answer: You should not raise your children that way because it will only make their lives harder. Hatred eats away at a person.
Question: You do not watch much television, I know. But today, all these channels, YouTube and others are full of fights where people hit each other hard, on the back of the head, wherever. Then, all these movies are packed with strong people who twist others and so on. That is, there is a completely different process of upbringing, more and more, not to love and be loved.
Is this a demand today? Do people want this, do they watch this?
Answer: I think it is not so much a demand as they are being pumped full of it. And of course, this will only make things worse for people.
Question: If we’re talking about raising a child, is it advisable to keep them away from this?
Answer: Yes.
Question: To the point of shielding them from seeing it?
Answer: Of course. What is the point?
Question: There is no point?
Answer: None.

Question: What can I bestow to the Creator in a state of enjoyment and a state of descent?
Answer: Whatever you feel, that is what you should bestow.
Question: When outwardly it seems that a friend cannot overcome some obstacle for many years and does not genuinely ask the ten for help, how can this state be identified?
Answer: It is difficult. Everything goes through the Creator; everything comes from Him. You need to ask Him to clarify your state for you.
Question: Do we need to chew over our descents to feel and experience them deeply?
Answer: No, not as much as you think. You should not dwell on, worry about, and chew over descents. The main thing is to get out of these states as quickly as possible.
Question: What can help us avoid falling into self-indulgence when we are in ascent and positive states from our connection with the Creator?
Answer: It is only if you support each other together.
Question: How is a new vessel of bestowal built during an ascent?
Answer: As I rise, I constantly check myself to see how much more I can bestow to the Creator.
Question: When we are in ascent, it is as if the Creator pushes us down, and when we are in a descent, the body says, “Why continue working in this state?” How can we maintain balance and connection with the Creator in these calculations?
Answer: For this you need to constantly stay connected with your friends so that your connection with the Creator is maintained through your unity, and then you will not go wrong.
