Question: If a person constantly falls ill after participating in physical congresses, is there any connection between his physical body and spiritual advancement?
Answer: Yes, this may be because he enters a particular environment where all sorts of forces influence him, which he is not yet able to tolerate without going beyond the boundaries of health.
Thus, some people complain that after the congresses they feel like they are out of the ordinary framework of life. Not because something bad happens to them, but precisely because they receive the impact of the reward for seeking closeness with other friends.
Therefore, they experience severe deviations in different directions, which do not harm them. On the contrary, it makes them healthier.
After all, we learn from Kabbalah that every recovery is associated with an even greater sensitivity to illness.

Question: We say that we are correcting the connection between us. If I do not feel a Hisaron (deficiency) in my friend even though he has problems, should I work on my feelings and use shame? Is it correct not to wait for the Creator to reveal it to me but to somehow activate these forces within myself?
Answer: You wish to connect with your friends and find a new source of energy in your unity that will bind you together, reveal new qualities in you, and push you to make a collective step forward, which was not the case before. This is what you want to achieve.
Question: So should I simply disconnect from personal interests and focus on the collective desire to reveal the Creator?
Answer: Of course. You should have this desire even before the lesson.
Comment: But my friend’s corporeal concerns are my spiritual concerns. He may be facing problems right now.
Answer: Do not take that into account, it will only distract us from the goal.

Question: Could Adam HaRishon have revealed the Creator as the good that does good if he had not eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil?
Answer: That is correct. That is why the Creator orchestrated a specific fall for Adam so he would descend into his egoism and through this egoism come to understand the qualities of giving and love and transform it into altruism. It turns out that the Creator created the evil, and from this evil man makes good. And although we do not perceive it this way, in the end, we achieve this result.
It turns out that the Creator, who created us and our world, made us fall from our initial level and lose the attribute of faith. Nevertheless, we keep moving forward, unite with one another, and we thus reach a state of return where we can draw closer to the Creator and say with an open heart that we wish to be connected to Him.
