Comment: We all have different qualities. According to what do we rise above them?
Answer: While in the group, I want to unite with my friends, to be like them, accepted by them. We do certain exercises together, and through this, we come to understand each other more.
Even if I do not hear them, as a result of going through certain states together, each one becomes similar to the other and resembles the other.

Question: How can we become united, like a single whole? After all, we have different qualities and different perceptions. How can we overcome this and become homogeneous?
Answer: We have to understand that all our contradictory, opposite qualities, thoughts, and feelings are given to us only so that in unification we achieve such a common state that would be able to contain the entire spiritual system.
Therefore we should not dwell on this, but simply move forward. One who is walking will master the road.

The female’s craving for the male makes a soul. And also, the male’s craving for the female and his adhesion with her produces a soul, which includes the soul from the craving of the female and takes it. Thus, the craving of the lower one, the female, is included in the craving of the upper one, the male, and the two souls become one, without separation.
And then the female contains everything, taking both souls and becoming impregnated by the male in them (Rashbi, Zohar for All, Lech Lecha, “Like an Apple Tree among the Trees of the Forest”).
The male’s craving for the female and vice versa are two different cravings, two different copulations.
The Book of Zohar explains which of them is the first and which is the second. Depending on this, one or another type of soul is born.
But this is not important. The main thing is that they merge together. Of course, the Nekeva conceives since it accepts the male part of the soul (Zachar). Therefore, it turns out that they get included in each other and become one whole.
Question: And yet this intercourse differs depending on who was striving for whom?
Answer: Yes, this is what determines who is born: a boy or a girl.
Question: In what case does this happen? Suppose a boy is when a man longs for a woman, and a girl is when a woman longs for a man?
Answer: Yes, it seems so.
Question: Why is it that precisely the Nekeva is decisive? As it is written: “And then the female contains everything, taking both souls and becoming impregnated by the male in them.”
Answer: This is how nature created it.

They are all savages, and there is no tactic they will accept unless through religion (Baal HaSulam, The Writings of the Last Generation).
Question: Baal HaSulam calls egoists (people who think only of themselves) savages. How can the Kabbalistic methodology change egoists into altruists?
Answer: This is only possible if we start to attract people to us with all sorts of enticements. Otherwise, I can not imagine what else could be done to make every person feel that by approaching an altruistic society, they are entering a zone of absolute confidence, peace, calm, and can live no matter the conditions because everything will be balanced for them.
Question: And yet, what is the unique feature in the Kabbalistic methodology such that it can lead to an ideal society?
Answer: It must be understood that attracting people to the society of the last generation means attracting them to the correct similarity to nature. Therefore a person will feel that he has suddenly entered a state where he is in harmony with the surrounding world, with problems of weather, health, and everything. All of this will begin to approach a normal state.

Question: You said that we need to question our feelings, our perception, and to enter the ten. Does this mean that we should subject our perception to the criticism of the group?
Answer: I think this is necessary.
Question: In such moments, I feel the urge to escape from the unbearable state. There is no sense that the group is helping. What should I hold onto to not run away?
Answer: Hold onto your friends.
Question: Is this the process of the recognition of evil?
Answer: The recognition of evil happens gradually.
Question: What is needed for this to become a correction?
Answer: The desire.

Question: What is your request to us in order to see us as your students?

Question: Is there room for mistakes in each person’s spiritual work in the ten that could negatively affect others? Or are all mistakes also a part of correction?
Answer: They are a part of correction, but mistakes do happen.
Question: Can they affect the work of the entire ten?
Answer: Even more than just the ten.
Question: How can we avoid making mistakes?
Answer: You should be afraid of distancing yourself from your friends. The closer you are to each other, the fewer chances you have to make a mistake.
For every member of the ten to take their proper place, the ten must be ready to go through all the stages of correction. It is not that difficult. But the friends need to know this and be prepared for it.

Question: Each Kabbalist acts in his generation according to the power of the light. Is the light getting stronger, and what can we do to increase it?
Answer: Day by day we must test ourselves to what extent we can carry out what the Kabbalists said, each person at his level and degree, based on his reasons, each tries to do what they said.
Then we will feel we are climbing the steps of the spiritual ladder and so are ascending to the highest state.
All Kabbalists who attained the upper world, the Creator, can explain our path to the Creator to us, and can explain how we are interconnected with each other and with them. After all, altogether we represent one unified system in which everyone helps another attain the Creator, connect with Him, and pass this connection over to others.
We must try to learn from our teachers to pass on our methodology.
