Question: There is a commandment that says make a choice. On the other hand the Creator is always the first. So what is our choice?
Answer: Our choice is to place faith above reason, above knowledge, and to continue moving forward in this way.
Question: How can we carve the quality of faith in our hearts?
Answer: It only depends on how much we will ask for this to actually happen. Gradually human beings will come to the complete knowledge of the Creator.

Question: Is trust within the ten necessary for what we are striving for? What is the foundation for such trust? How should it be born within the ten?
Answer: It is born gradually from the fact that you pray together, turn to the Creator together, and thus form a united group. Then the Creator can feel this group. As a result, you will receive a response from Him.
Question: We do work in the ten and we come together with our hearts. How can we understand that the Creator evaluates our work? What should we focus on?
Answer: Focus on the fact that He is constantly helping you.
Question: Is it possible to clarify the states and desires we receive in thought within the ten?
Answer: Of course it is possible. Try it and you will find where the boundary is that you should not cross in your communication with friends.

Question: Should dissemination be separate from spiritual work?
Answer: Dissemination is a very important part of spiritual work. But the thing is that there are people who deal with it directly and there are those who work with it indirectly.
For example, in our world group, there are people responsible for electronics, for accounting, or for something else. This is also dissemination; it relates to our spiritual work, and it is impossible to do without it.
Kabbalists write about this everywhere because our goal is to correct the entire Kli of Adam.

Question: What is the Kli of joy?
Answer: Kli of joy are those desires that are fulfilled by connecting with my students, my friends. This Kli develops like any desire. The more you think about it, the more you use it, the more you develop it.
Question: If our Kli of joy is in friends, then how do we properly accept the Kelim of a friend in order to fulfill them with this joy?
Answer: If you wish to rejoice with them, then you naturally unite with them and bring them joy.

Question: What exactly is my effort? When the Creator puts me under strong pressure, I am forced to agree to not think about my own benefit, just to escape suffering. But when this pressure passes, can I apply inner pressure on myself?
Answer: That depends on you. Maybe you imagine your current state as perfect or as a future state. But in principle, it all depends on how you categorize it and what you do with it afterward.
Question: How does the state of inner balance work correctly?
Answer: Inner balance occurs when you direct all your desires and thoughts toward the Creator without deviating from this path.
Question: What is the spiritual driving force in the group?
Answer: The driving force in the group is the positive energy that pushes you to clearly determine the Creator’s attitude toward you, and from this, you develop a request to the Creator.
Question: How can I proceed when I need to put in the effort to transition to a new state, but there is fear of losing what I have and the expected future?
Answer: You should not have such fear. However, you must maintain some connection with the Creator, and at the same time, always feel yourself and your friends constantly drawing closer to Him.

A proper and solid foundation for building a spiritual Kli is a connection between you that cannot be imagined in this world.
It is a purely internal connection between all hearts in the group, where together you represent a single pulsating heart. This should be the shared feeling among you. Ask the Creator to feel the one heart together.
Question: How can we check the essence of our unity in the ten?
Answer: It is very simple. Gather together, imagine that you are in one heart, and from that heart alone desire to speak with the Creator and, in fact, with everyone in the world.

Question: Baal HaSulam is not just a high soul but a great Kabbalist. What do you think the future we must realize according to his works is?
Answer: We must find a common connection between us called our collective soul. We need to find the connection between this collective soul and the Creator and merge them.
Question: Should the articles written by Baal HaSulam about society be viewed as a guide to action, or is what is described supposed to unfold first as a result of our spiritual attainment?
Answer: It does not matter how you approach it. Under the influence of the upper light, everything will turn out as it should.

We should interpret that the sin is in saying that there is an evil inclination instead of “There is none else besides Him” (Rabash, “The Sorrow of the Shechina – 2”).
Question: We constantly say we have evil inclination. Do we already sin by this? Do we have to look at this situation differently?
Answer: Initially we are connected to our sinful nature—egoism.
Therefore, first we must figure out how to break out of it, rise above it, and then perform all other actions.
We are born, develop, and live with our egoism, which is opposite to the Creator. So, we need to reach such a state to rise above the ego higher and higher and eventually start working against it.
