Question: What does the revelation of the Creator between us mean? How do we feel it?
Answer: The attainment of the Creator between us occurs when each person sees the Creator, who is revealed before him in others.
Question: While not on spiritual levels, can we reveal Him or not?
Answer: No. How could we? He is revealed only on condition that we unite and desire that our unity reveals the Creator to each of us.
Question: So are all the ideas that those who come to Kabbalah have about some connection with the Creator false?
Answer: In general, yes.

Question: I am growing and developing as a person on the animal level, and my animal desires are constantly growing. But if I engage in spirituality, my spiritual desires also constantly grow. In the end, I can’t focus on anything, and I keep getting pulled from one thing to another. How can I balance spiritual and material life?
Answer: This is not balanced by us. A person should take care of their animal life reasonably, and dedicate all the rest of the time and effort to spiritual attainment, which means striving for connection with others in the ten to become more like the Creator.
I can’t tell a woman that she must get married and have children, that is her personal decision. As for men, they are, in principle, more obligated to be married than women. We strongly encourage men to marry because they become more stable, diligent, and consistent. But a woman is stable on her own, so there aren’t such strict requirements for her.
Ultimately, whether or not a woman marries is her choice. But the goal is to devote as much time as possible to spirituality, and to material things, let me quote the original source, only the necessary amount.
And add a bit more joy to your life; this is very necessary. If you don’t feel joy in life, it means you are blaming the Creator for your discomfort.

Question: It is said that if a person does not believe that there is something divine present within the concealment, then he flees from the battlefield. We seem to understand this, but why is it so difficult to believe in practice that there is something divine present within the concealment?
Answer: I don’t think it’s difficult. And who creates this concealment? It is a special action of the Creator, and another special action is His revelation. Both are done by Him.
We need nothing but the right prayer, the right request to the Creator to remove this concealment. And when you feel that everything is revealed before you, you will simply be amazed at what you can see, feel, and be filled with. It will lift you up as if you have become a balloon.

Question: What is the difference between a descent and exile, and how can we avoid confusing them?
Answer: A descent is the loss of the importance of spirituality in my eyes. I feel that compared to what I had before, I have now fallen and no longer value spirituality as I once did. A descent is necessary to lead me to a subsequent ascent.
Exile is a state where I have no connection to spirituality at all, not with descents nor with ascents. I am simply disconnected from spirituality, meaning I don’t feel more or less connected to it, and it doesn’t concern me.
If it does concern me, if I feel much worse than I did yesterday, then it is not exile, but a descent through which the Creator is urging me to return to Him.

Question: How can you infect a ten with your Hisaron?
Answer: If we are connected to each other in the ten as much as possible and we begin to talk about our states, then we come to the realization of why we are together, why we cannot be connected more than now, and the reason for our spiritual illnesses and suffering. In this way, we come to the point of turning to the Creator and asking Him for healing.
Question: If a person physically suffers from some disease, is this help for a spiritual growth?
Answer: Of course this is help. After all, a person could be sick and not feel that he is sick, or die and not feel that he must die. Therefore, all feelings concerning pain, illness, and healing that the Creator evokes in a person are necessary in order to help him recover.

Question: How do we establish a dialogue with the ten as with the Creator that includes the whole world?
Answer: It depends on your states within the ten and outside of it.
Question: What is more important, dialogue with the ten or with Him?
Answer: Of course, dialogue with the Creator is higher, but without going through the ten, you won’t be able to reach Him.

Question: Andrey asks: “I read it somewhere, but recently I became convinced that the Creator is jealous. You have said it more than once. But I had no idea He was so jealous. He allows you to follow the path you choose, but it is clearly against His will. But He lets you. He even seems to bless it. And then He sends such falls that you do not know how to pull yourself out of them. Why is He doing this? He could have prevented me from going down the wrong path. What does He give it for?”
Answer: What would you learn in that case?
Comment: That He is good that does good.
My Response: Then you would remain in kindergarten.
Question: Am I being educated the whole time?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Educated with the wrong paths?
Answer: With their help. How else?
Question: Andrey says He is the one pushing you there on this wrong path. Is all this to teach you?
Answer: Sure.
Question: What does He want to bring up in me?
Answer: Understanding life, understanding yourself, understanding the world, and understanding your correct attitude to the world.
Question: Andrey felt he was even being blessed on this path: “Go on!” Even when you are going down the wrong path?
Answer: Yes.
Question: So he asks: “Why does the Creator bless man to take this path?”
Answer: Because in this way He teaches a person; otherwise, one cannot be taught.
Question: When does a person realize he is on the wrong path? The Creator Himself begins to create further obstacles for him. Right?
Answer: Yes. After a while a person begins to feel he is on the wrong path. But he cannot turn away and continues on it, receives all sorts of suffering until they accumulate to the point he is forced to run away from them.
Question: Tell me, is there some road sign from which suffering begins? And until then, you walk easily, freely, and happily.
Answer: Yes, it depends on the growth of egoism in a person. Because then he begins to understand this is a wrong path that is to his detriment. And he wonders: what should he do? From this moment on, suffering begins, and his demand to the Creator begins.
Question: So while he was walking along the egoistic path without thinking about it, was everything all right for him?
Answer: Yes.
Question: But at some point, he is pushed to the idea that he is an egoist, which is bad. And the suffering begins. What for? What should he do with this ego?
Answer: He should realize all this comes from his ego and consciously turn to the Creator for correction.
Question: So one way or another, everything is a path of correction. Absolutely everything.
Then the question is: “How can you prepare, is it even possible for such falls and to make the most of them?”
Answer: You can prepare for falls if a person initially understands what he chooses may be wrong and there is no escape from mistakes. He will receive all sorts of negative feedback from time to time, consequences of his actions. But on the other hand, it will teach him the right path in the end.
Question: What is the maximum benefit from this?
Answer: That he will take the right path. Although he will make mistakes every time, correct himself, and take the right step.
Question: Is it possible not to reach suffering but to calculate correctly in advance?
Answer: How can he do it in advance?
Question: Is it not possible?
Answer: No.
Question: So, you have to go through it one way or another?
Answer: Absolutely.
Question: Andrey’s next question: “What do you personally understand by the jealousy of the Creator?”
Answer: By the jealousy of the Creator I understand such states when a person wants to avoid mistakes with the help of some particular method and as if circumvent the Creator.

A wise man came and gave him a cure that helped him. Later, when he came to the doctors to do tests for his illness, they determined that he was completely well and there was nothing wrong with him. Clearly, at that time he is delighted and cannot say that he has nothing from which to derive vitality. Instead, his joy is immense (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 137, “The Lack Is the Kli [Vessel]”).
What are true spiritual pleasures? These are the pleasures of being connected and being able to mutually help one another; it is rising from our personal problems to common problems necessary for collective healing. In this case, we call upon the Creator for help, and He gladly assists us.
Our problem lies in uncovering the actual cause of our suffering and asking the Creator to free us from it.
Question: What deficiency gives birth to true spiritual pleasure?
Answer: The desire to be spiritually healthy.
Question: What is the kind of faith during suffering that can work for bestowal only with the help of the Creator?
Answer: It is a special quality—a person’s faith that; first of all, one is striving not for healing but to understand the root of healing, its cause. Then, a person finds the method of recovery.
Such faith always arises from realizing one’s helplessness so that a person finds the Creator as the cause of everything happening to them.
The intensity of the request to the Creator depends on understanding the reason for our condition, which is that everything comes from Him. Therefore, we must ask the Creator to come closer to Him to reveal the true essence of all existence. In this way, we can move forward toward healing.
