Question: What does it mean to create a Kli of the ten?
Answer: In order to create a Kli of ten, ten people unite to form one desire that they strive to realize.
If they are fully aware of it and are in it, this common desire is called a ten.
By fulfilling the requirements of unification, they begin to feel each other and the Creator.
Question: We have daily meetings of the ten. How can we sum up our unity at the end of the meeting and draw some conclusions to reinforce the Kli?
Answer: Of course, you can meet every day and discuss, but overall, even two or three times a week is enough to share your impressions of unification with your friends, talk about new things you can reveal in it, and how to rise higher and higher in unity, closer to the Creator.

Question: Do Kabbalists bestow to the Creator without any conditions regardless of whether they have pleasure or not? How can someone rise to such a level where there is no difference?
Answer: Ask the Creator for the opportunity to bestow even in the worst states.
Question: What about the best states?
Answer: In the best states it is natural.
Comment: In the article “The Creator Is Meticulous with the Righteous,” Rabash writes that in the best states, it is difficult to bestow because when you feel good, you are bribed.
My Response: That is true. What do you suggest?
Question: To find some way to rise above this. After all, it turns out that you are striving for pleasure from the connection with the Creator, which is wrong. How do you act correctly?
Answer: Strive to ensure that pleasure does not take away the correct intention—to bestow to the Creator.

Question: If we renew ourselves daily and start from a clean slate, what is the correct prayer for everything that was, is, and will be? Or should we focus on the present moment and ask for corrections now?
Answer: When we speak of what was, is, and will be, it reflects our attitude to the Creator as the source of everything. But if we ask Him to change us at the present moment, then we are talking about our immediate, moment-by-moment connection, and we turn to Him with this request.
Question: What is more important: to pray for your longevity or for the connection with you not to be broken?
Answer: Do not pray for my longevity or connection with me, but for your connection within the group and with the Creator.

All creations in the world are many organs standing one atop the other, and when they are all corrected, they will truly become one body (Zohar for All, Toldot [Generations], “These Are the Generations of Isaac”).
Question: Is each ten an organ of the common Partzuf?
Answer: You could say that it is part of some organ.
Question: How can we become spiritual organs?
Answer: That is not your task. Your task is to strive for connection within your ten, then in your hundred, your thousand, and so on. In other words, keep ascending in your connection.
Question: What is a created being in the world?
Answer: A created being in the world is an individual desire to enjoy, to feel that you are alive, egoism.
The Creator created man, meaning a system consisting of many desires and subsystems, all of which are directed toward correcting themselves.

Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the recognition of evil within ourselves?
Answer: See that there is so much of it in you that you can’t do anything about it.
Comment: Sometimes I see that there is too much of it.
My Response: That is good. Suffer from it, hate it, and try to understand why the Creator made you the most egoistic one.
Question: Should we help our friends in the ten come to the recognition of evil?
Answer: You can, but very carefully; otherwise, you will be stealing from them.
Question: How do we avoid stealing from them?
Answer: Do not tell them what is bad or good about them.

Question: What does bestowal mean?
Answer: Bestowal is when a person thinks about how to accomplish the task that the Creator has set for him: to become similar to Him, to become a human.
The fact is that our world consists of four levels: inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, and man.
Man is called “Adam,” which is translated as “similar to the Creator”(Edomeh). This is the state we must achieve. Kabbalah tells you how to do it. It is a method of attaining the Creator on the basis of similarity to Him.

Question: How can one stay focused on the source while suppressing one’s ego to achieve at least minimal contact?
Answer: It is by turning to the Creator and asking for the force of bestowal rather than the force of reception.
Question: I understand a prayer directed outside of me. We say, “Give me this, give me that.” But what should a prayer “inside me” be? What is it?
Answer: Inside me is egoistic and outside me is altruistic, for the sake of others.
Question: Against the background of strength gained from the convention, I did not feel small; on the contrary, I felt like I was as great as our friends. Is it good to remain in such a state or should I humble myself a bit?
Answer: It is good to stay in that state. Do not be afraid to feel great. Just as a hen covers its eggs with its body to hatch them, you can act similarly toward others.
