Question: Usually, the recognition of evil is sudden and surprising. Can it be balanced, anticipated, or desired?
Answer: Sure, it depends on how much a person wants to receive the upper light, see himself and the world in this light, and continue his correction.
Question: But this happens extremely rarely. Can this be taught? How can we bring the recognition of evil closer?
Answer: Only through your desire for correction and, of course, together with friends. There is nothing more to say.
Question: Is any particular process required for us to be worthy of receiving correction?
Answer: Yes, you must recognize how you differ from the Creator, why you are receivers and not givers, and ask to be corrected.

How Can We Correct Evil?
God created us in His image and likeness. But where does the certainty come from that He worked in a realistic manner? (Stanislaw Jerzy Lec)
Comment: A person’s understanding of the phrase “created in His image and likeness” is exactly that, according to His image and likeness. You know, like how Shishkin painted, Peredvizhniki…
My Response: That is incorrect. What within us resembles the Creator? Besides our desires and intentions, which we can correct and bring to similarity with the Creator, nothing else within us can be similar to the Creator.
Question: Please tell me, if He created us in His image and likeness, should we still strive to reach this after all?
Answer: Yes.
Comment: And He laid out a long road for us, for millennia humanity has been traveling it.
My Response: It seems to us that it is a long road. But in reality, it is not long. No. Man was created to understand, accept, and then actualize.
Question: To become like the Creator?
Answer: Yes.
Question: If it were possible to ask from the Creator’s perspective, are we already in that state or not?
Answer: Time does not exist for the Creator. Past, present, and future are one.
Question: If it could be said that He sees, what does He see?
Answer: He sees everything in the state we should be in.
Question: Already in the completed state?
Answer: Yes, of course.
Question: We speak of the “united soul,” is this Him and the united soul of humanity?
Answer: Yes.
Comment: And we, from our side.
My Response: And we, from our side, must move toward this from below upward. And that is why our path is long.
Question: With all these descents, ascents, and so on, but is it necessary for there to be falls and rises? Is all this necessary?
Answer: It is for the realization of the path.
Question: So, the entire purification process is exactly along this path?
Answer: Yes.
Question: And if the path were smooth?
Answer: We would not have formed into what we are supposed to become. We must fully desire to become like the Creator.

Question: In the 1920s, before Hitler came to power, Baal HaSulam predicted the Second World War. The scary thing is all his predictions came true. In his writings “The Last Generation,” he talks about the possibility of a third and even a fourth world war after which only several thousand people will remain.
Do you also believe that out of eight billion people on Earth a few thousand will survive and complete the universal correction?
Answer: I do not think this is how it will happen. I feel events will unfold in a much gentler and smoother way.
Question: Why has the number of people worldwide increased to eight billion? Only 100 years ago, the world’s population was about two billion. There were periods in the development of mankind when only a few thousand human beings lived on the planet. Why is there such growth? What is the reason for this?
Answer: It depends not on us but on how these people can perceive and implement the spiritual methodology.
In other words, the number of people somehow helps in correcting the ego, which is distributed among a huge number of people.

Question: Is temple of ten people where the Creator resides the ultimate perfection?
Answer: This is a whole Kli. It cannot be said that it is perfection, but it is a whole Kli.
If you ask the Creator to unite you into one whole when you are striving to connect with each other, then He performs this action upon you, and then in the connection between you, you begin to feel spiritual forces.
This is what we must achieve in the process of our correction and unification.
Everything we do (study and other actions) are only needed in order to achieve complete unification among us, because in accordance with its quantity and quality, we will reveal the spiritual world in our unity.

Question: If someone in the ten is unable to annul to the Creator, does this affect the ten?
Answer: It absolutely does. If someone in the ten is lagging behind everyone else, the whole ten should help him be with everyone. Alone, one cannot advance to the Creator, to the goal of creation. The main thing is that you want spirituality, this is fine, but only on the condition that you will give everything over to others.
Question: But there are those whom the Creator does not give the opportunity to invest. How can we balance it?
Answer: We must continue. And then you will gradually reveal the entire system you are in and see how to act best. You will learn on your own.

Question: Baal HaSulam attained all levels and wrote many melodies. Can we say that the melodies of the spiritual worlds are unchangeable, and everyone who attains spirituality can reproduce these melodies unconsciously as if from internal spiritual memory?
Answer: It is a very high level when a person who reaches a certain spiritual level begins to hear a melody that comes from this level.

Question: What is love of friends? What is spiritual love?
Answer: Spiritual love between friends is a relationship between two people who want to rise and help each other in their ascent.
When uniting with another person, you think about what you can give and receive from them. These mutual and simultaneously opposite movements concerning each other oblige you to act.
If a friend offers you to receive something, then receive it; or if he wants you to give something, give it.
And he acts precisely the same toward you. Only in such mutual work with each other will you be able to advance together.
