Question: In one of your books, you described the phenomenon of the Shechina. Now that we have gathered at the convention, there is a feeling that the Shechina is literally present between us, making this the holiest place. How can we all reveal it together?
Answer: You want to jump from the very first point of our path straight to its final point. That is practically impossible. But you must ask, think, and pray for it.
Question: What can help prayer become a part of me?
Answer: It depends on how much the prayer comes from the heart.

Comment: A Malaysian woman committed suicide after posting a request on Instagram asking her followers to help her decide whether to choose life or death. 69% voted for death.
My Response: Many people would die if it could be done easily. I take a pill, fall asleep, and that is it. So why suffer? If this life does not offer you fulfillment, inspiration, or achievement of a dream, it is unhappy. We end up dying anyway.
Society and the state are doing the right thing by not allowing this to develop. As the Torah says: “Choose Life.” But you have to choose that. We must try, strive, and seek this.
Kabbalah offers this, but to do so, one must come to it and find an eternal, perfect life.
Question: What is the goal of the upper governance in bringing a person to such a state?
Answer: So man can be convinced that life has a meaning. Just not the one he lives by. He lives an animal life, but he needs to rise to another level.
Question: Are you in favor of attracting people with pleasure, or pushing them with suffering?
Answer: Attracting with pleasure.
Question: In other words, to show this world is worth living?
Answer: The upper world. Sure.
Comment: World above egoism, as you keep saying.
My Response: Yes, absolutely. That is precisely what it is for.

Question: What should be done to thank the Creator?
Answer: If you feel gratitude toward the Creator for what He is doing for you now, all you can do is bow before Him and surrender to Him, so that He continues working on you further.
Question: To rise, do you need to feel your own pain or the pain of others?
Answer: Your own.
Question: How should we turn to the Creator in states of descent and hopelessness?
Answer: In such states, you must stop all your internal sensations and raise them to the Creator. This will be the most correct and reliable action.
Question: Is joy and gratitude toward the Creator also correction?
Answer: Not “also,” this is the correction.
Question: How can we—those who haven’t yet reached spiritual understanding—raise the importance of this work in the ten? Since when we go home now, part of us simply feels spiritually dead.
Answer: You are still and will be for some time under the direct guidance of the Creator. So keep this in mind. Everything that happens to you is a result of external influence. Try to write down the most vivid phrases, appeals to the Creator, and make them key for yourself. After that, we will go together.

Question: It is said one should thank the Creator for the past and for what will happen to him in the future. How can we help each other hear His answer correctly and thank Him?
Answer: How do we understand the Creator’s answer correctly? I would advise you to consider that you have received the answer, even though you do not understand it. Consider that the Creator clears all paths and ways to Him before you.
You can come and address Him, draw closer to Him, and demand from Him. But in fact this will happen when you accumulate your efforts and your requests and raise all this to the Creator. Then He will answer you.

Comment: Usually after a congress we say that there is no need to cling to what we have experienced. But for some reason this time there is a strong desire to hold on to the feeling of unity.
My Response: You are beginning to feel the common Kli and receive Ohr Makif (surrounding light) from it. It starts to lift you up, protect you, and hold you within itself. That is why, as we start from this Congress and move forward, it is very important to begin to take some steps on your own in the spiritual world, in spiritual connection.
You have tens, and you have a connection among them. In each country there are 10, or 20, or even 30 tens. I am ready to visit you, and ready to give online lessons from here. So it all depends on you, on how you organize yourself.

Question: It is said that for correction, one needs to attract the light. How can I attract the light alone? Let’s say I am at the airport, and some silly thought comes to me.
Answer: It seems to you that you are supposedly alone. When are you alone? Never.
Everything depends only on your inner feelings. You are still with your friends, and you are all striving toward the goal together. On the contrary, if you are alone somewhere, you feel even more keenly that you are with them.
Question: Does this feeling arise somewhere in the heart, inside you?
Answer: What difference does it make where? Do we sense it through changes in blood pressure or nervous system activity? Where is it really? It is outside of us.
