Question: The convention is over. We are returning to our permanent tens (groups), and I am already trying to focus only on my ten. It is difficult for me to do this without including the entire world group. Can I continue with my ten and include all of Bnei Baruch?
Answer: Of course, include the entire world Kli (vessel)! What else is it for? Please go ahead.
That is precisely what our movement is about—from love of friends to love for the Creator, because the Creator is the whole world Kli united together and the entire upper light is revealed in it.
In other words, the Creator is our absolutely corrected state, the desire with the intention, filled with infinite light. Only in this way can we imagine the Creator.

Question: How does the spiritual unification we are striving for differ from the corporeal one that the whole world has been engaged in for centuries?
Answer: We must feel what kind of beast a person is. Why did the Creator create him? What does He get from the fact that we are such egoists? How can we purify ourselves, raise ourselves up, bring ourselves closer to the Creator, and unite with other friends?
How can we feel all this creation as a swamp that is gradually drawing us into itself? After all, every minute we can plunge into it with our minds, and nothing will help us then.
This is how we must think about our destiny and feel that every day that we live without a spiritual ascent to the Creator in order to adhere to Him, we are sucked into this swamp. This is exactly how we need to tune in, and then we will feel the benefit of our spiritual work.

Question: What is the role of a woman in Kabbalah?
Answer: It is the same as the role of a man. Nothing changes.
In our world where we exist in physical bodies with material desires and family responsibilities, we are very different from each other.
But in the spiritual world, the work of men and women is the same. Kabbalah says a lot about the role of a woman and how she rules the world. Our world is also secretly ruled by women.
Malchut is the female part of the Kli, the soul. It determines everything. In our world, we always see men as producing something, doing something, but in fact there are women behind them who silently, even without words control them.
That is why women’s groups are very important to us. We would really like them to develop even more. The main role of a woman in Kabbalah is to push a man to fulfill his spiritual mission. As a mother pushes a child: “Do it,” trains him, stands behind him, so women need to manage men.

Question: How can we practically come closer to feeling the common soul?
Answer: You need to find connection with other groups or individual friends and try to be united in understanding the uniqueness of the Creator, the oneness of our desire, the Kli (vessel), and how we can help each other in this unification.
The entire work of the created beings essentially boils down to learning how to be connected with one another so that the Shechina can be revealed within them and the revelation of the Creator to people is not partial but complete. This is what we aspire to.
Question: Is the revelation of the Shechina a kind of collective feeling?
Answer: No, the revelation of the Shechina is felt differently by each person.

Question: What are the forces of good that unite us?
Answer: When we try to unite, we receive good forces called the forces of bestowal from above, from the Creator. At the same time, I feel my friend’s desire for spirituality and support him in that, and he feels my desire for spirituality, for bestowal, for the Creator, and supports me in that.
Question: What does it mean to feel the desire of a friend?
Answer: What does he want? Basically it is the same as I do.
Question: What are those desires? If I have a family, a job, children…
Answer: No, all this relates to our animal state. You feel your friend’s desire to reveal the Creator. This means you are going toward the same goal, and together you will come to the Creator.
Comment: Some people manage to do it, and some do not.
My Response: Ultimately everyone will succeed. The only issue is when. Everything depends on a person’s efforts, the root of his soul, and many initial parameters.

Question: How should we relate to the emergence of physical problems in life?
Answer: If a physical problem arises before me, I must solve it physically and at the same time realize that the Creator gives it to me so that I constantly imagine that there is none else besides Him and that all problems, both good and bad, come from Him.
Our main problem is to perceive the world as an image sent to us by the Creator and identify everything that happens to us with Him. There is no other force in the world that controls everything, and all that seems to exist apart from Him, the Creator does specifically to confuse us.
Why does He confuse us? So that we develop a keen sense of His uniqueness. Then we will begin to feel His manifestation in everything that surrounds us so much so that everything that exists inside us in the heart and in the mind and outside of us in inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature, everything, is produced, determined, and sent only by Him.
Therefore, at any moment of life, we must surely aim ourselves at the Creator and always hold on to this from the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep. If we try to do this, we will very soon feel that the Creator surrounds us, we are in Him. Then, we will determine for ourselves that there is none else besides Him.
This is practically the whole science of Kabbalah. We do not need anything else in life. Once we feel we are inside the Creator and that He controls everyone and each person individually, we will immediately begin to clearly perceive the whole world, the entire reality. It will become apparent that we ourselves do not exist except for our only point of perception of the Creator. And everything else, this illusory world and other upper worlds, are His imprint in us.
But until we reach such a state that we exist in the Creator as a small point and everything else is Him, we need to perform actions in our world: work and provide for ourselves and our family. That is, we must exist in our world at the same time. But this will also change as we become more and more aware of the Creator who fills the whole world.
The science of Kabbalah leads a person to a state of sound, actual attainment of the basis of nature. Nature does not call: “Stop working, give up your life and think only about the Creator.” A person must take care of himself, attain the Creator, and gradually see how these two sensations of reality get closer.

Question: What is the most important thing in our work to build a common screen?
Answer: The most important thing in our work is to separate ourselves from the Creator and use all kinds of connections with Him.
Then we can attune ourselves so everything points to the Creator: our connections, work, and the states we are in. If we approach the Creator correctly, all these means benefit us.
Question: The vision of oneself together with the Creator and all spiritual sensations get erased over time. Why do such exits happen?
Answer: It happens when a person has not yet learned how to work more precisely with their desires and intentions.

Question: From life to life we are engaged in unification. How can we preserve the memory so that we are born not as wild animals, but continue our work?
Answer: This does not depend on you. The only thing that depends on you is aspiration for spiritual ascent. And what happens to you next is an egoistic question. We do not even discuss it. In other words, everything that will happen will already be above the state from which you started.
You must ask every minute to be closer to your friends in the ten; this is the most important thing, and do not deviate from this. And then you will see what happens. There are still steps that we will go through together.
