Question: Is the feeling of being righteous a manifestation of spiritual pride? How can I protect myself from this state?

Answer: To protect yourself from thoughts that you want to be righteous or that you have already become righteous, you need to engage in collective work within a group and try to rise with the help of the Creator. Then you will feel when you can rise and when you cannot. In this process, you will experience alternating states of “righteous – wicked,” “righteous – wicked.”

At that point everything will work out for you. You will clearly know what state you are in.

Question: How can we maintain the point of connection with the Creator?

Answer: Always stay connected with Him. What is He doing? What does He desire? What do I wish to give Him? To Him or from Him? You need to be in such contact as if you are on a direct line with the Creator and never leave this connection.

Question: The fact is that the obstacles sent by the Creator are sometimes stronger than us because they also include the force of the Creator. How can one remain in connection with Him under these circumstances?

Answer: There is no need to overthink it. Assume that you always have the opportunity to contact the Creator. Reach out to Him and maintain this connection.

Question: Will we be able to achieve true pleasure without suffering?

Answer: It depends on the kind of suffering. There are sufferings of love when I strive for the one I love, and for me it is suffering.

Question: How can we begin to regret the lack of love so this suffering will bring us closer to the Creator?

Answer: We need to think about it and discuss it with our friends. In this way each of you will receive various definitions from others of what connection is, what separation is, how far you are from the Creator, and so on.

The Creator is waiting for you to understand where you are and how you are connected to each other and Him, which enables you to move forward. It all comes from above, from Him.

Question: You said we build the reflected light from Malchut to Keter with a ten. How? What is this action?

Answer: Try to feel it. Ask the Creator, and try with your friends to be connected so you have the reflective ability of the Kli where instead of receiving, you are ready to bestow. You can reflect the light in a ten if you have a common desire.

Question: Can we say that the common desire is the Malchut of our ten?

Answer: Yes, it reflects the direct light that comes to it.

Question: In our common desire, do we first feel the light, or do we try to bestow, build an intention and reflected light?

Answer: First, you make a restriction (Tzimtzum) and build a Partzuf of reflected light in the opposite direction, from receiving to bestowal, so that your Malchut becomes like Keter.

Malchut de Or Yashar (direct light) is Keter de Or Hozer (reflected light). And vice versa, in the reflected light, each Sefira located above the Malchut of the reflected light is clothed with properties corresponding to it. In this way, you compare yourself with the Creator.

Question: What does it mean that we rise at least a little above our Malchut in the direction of bestowal?

Answer: To rise means that you are ready to accept all the light that comes to you and forces you to accept it only after you make a restriction (Tzimtzum), a screen (Masach), and a reflected light (Ohr Hozer) on it. Then this light can clothe you and fully reveal itself in you.

Question: How can I overcome the feeling of my insignificance? What can I hold on to in these moments?

Answer: These are not moments, but a constant feeling. It will grow gradually and then disappear. How can you cope with this? Only with the help of the friends, by inspiring each other and turning to the Creator together so that He can correct this state.

Question: Is it possible to open your heart to the friends in these moments?

Answer: Yes, you can, but only to your friends.

Question: How can we correctly layout our plans so that they would be directed to the Creator?

Answer: Most important is aspiration to the Creator. A little lower in importance is everything that can bring you to an action for the sake of the Creator. Then there are other actions that together will lead you in the near future to work for the Creator, to unite with your friends, and to fulfill His desires.

In this way a person gradually creates a sphere in which he constantly turns with his friends, with the group, with our lessons, etc.

Within this sphere, a person begins to give importance to every direction, as if he weighs it. Thus, a clear system of aspirations is gradually organized in him: what is important, what is secondary, etc.

Question: During the day, a person experiences a lot of various influences on his decision-making, on his plans. Is he able to process every decision in his life through this network of priorities?

Answer: There is no need if these are corporeal goals; it is only the ones that are aimed at spirituality.

Question: For example, when I have to make some choice in life I weigh how it can get me closer to the Creator, how important it is for me or not. Is it possible to process my corporeal decisions through this measurement?

Answer: Yes, although in general, it is very far from the correct usage. It is possible to make a mistake.

Question: Who belongs to the whole society (Klal)? Can this be said about us?

Answer: No, we belong to a separate class of people who seek the Creator, wish to rise to His level, feel Him, and be in connection with Him. This is our task; this is our life. But ordinary people do not think about this.

Question: Does it mean that we cannot advance without feeling defilement? Is this even necessary?

Answer: Why? No matter what state I am in, I can always turn to the Creator with a request. There is no state in which He would cut off the connection between me and Him. I can be, God forbid, the worst of all that exists and still turn to Him.

Question: But how can we advance from the feeling of our evil nature if we do not reveal it and do not feel like that?

Answer: Start acting this way, and you will see that it will be revealed to you, and how badly you will think about yourself.
