Question: How can we raise the greatness of the Creator to such a degree that we would not be able to do anything without the intention to bestow?

Answer: It does not depend on a person’s attitude; it depends on the revelation of the Creator through one’s friends. If you are determined to attain the Creator and turn to your friends with this request, prayer, or demand, then everything will work out for you.

Question: What can help to reach a new degree of connection in the ten that would give more faith in the Creator?

Answer: Blindly drawing closer to your friends.

Question: Is gratitude something that comes from above, or do we need to acquire it as a certain skill when, despite of everything and in spite of everything, we are in joy and gratitude?

Answer: The most important problem of our world is selfishness, which separates us from each other. At congresses we become involved in something common and make all sorts of movements toward each other, maybe even artificial ones. There is no natural love between us. We are the same as all earthly creatures.

Therefore by making efforts and coming together, we caused a great outflow of kindness from above from the Creator. Now we need to take this benefit into ourselves, digest it and continue on.

Question: Why is it so important for Kabbalists to be grateful to the Creator?

Answer: The Creator feels our reaction to His actions. If we react correctly to the fact that He gathers us, brings us closer, and forms one common desire from us, then by recognizing His attitude toward us we raise His greatness, His role, and His value in our eyes. In this way we deserve to be treated kindly even more.

Question: In the state of ascent I do not feel the obvious evil inclination within me. Do I still have to ask the Creator to correct it?

Answer: If you do not have a clear feeling that you are in the state of a descent, then you cannot ask the Creator for correction. But you have to depict to yourself that you definitely are in a descent, that you are resisting it, and therefore are waiting for the ascent.

Question: But if I do not feel like I am in descent, nevertheless, do I still have to depict that I exist in this state?

Answer: No, but you have to prepare yourself for the ascent. It is from this point of view that you need to imagine that you are in descent. That is how to find the evil inclination in yourself that you clearly do not feel at this moment and ask for its correction.

Question: How can I resist the descent and prepare for the ascent?

Answer: Resisting the descent and preparing for the ascent is the same thing. You just have to constantly ask for an ascent, for connection with the Creator, for strengthening the group and yourself in it, and then you will not have any problems. This is very important.
