Question: What should I ask for to pass through the “wall of fire” that the Creator has surrounded Himself with?
Answer: Ask that your soul not be harmed by the fire, and then you will gradually be able to get used to it and will begin to understand what you need in order to survive in its vicinity.
Comment: I still get thrown out and I return to thinking about myself instead of being in my friends, in the Creator.
My Response: All the same, nothing will help you until you begin to feel the force within you that will push you toward the Creator, toward turning to Him. In that case, you will begin to discern what exists between you that you can use to draw closer to the Creator. This is already serious work.
Question: How to demand the force that will push me toward the Creator?
Answer: You have to create this force yourself. You cannot receive it just like that from the Creator, but if you desire the Creator and want to reveal Him, get to know His qualities and actions, then in this case, you will be able to plead Him to teach you.
These are not such difficult actions; the main thing is to be consistent in them. That is, see, reveal, and understand how the Creator interacts with you and how you wish for Him to understand how you respond to Him.
I am addressing these words to everyone.

Question: Right now the congress is such a high bar for me that it is impossible to reach in individual work. But judging by the primary sources, it is possible. How can it be done?
Answer: It is impossible to do it alone. It is only possible if the majority of the people sitting here agree with you, and you will want together to achieve some spiritual result.
Question: Is this some kind of a new arrangement between us?
Answer: No, it is an old arrangement; you just have to put it into action.
Question: So essentially we continue to work in tens the same way as we did before but on a different level?
Answer: Yes.

Question: It is written that the ideal prayer comes from the bottom of one’s heart. You say that when we constantly ask for something, it becomes a necessity. Suppose today my heart asks for mutual guarantee (Arvut) in the ten and tomorrow or maybe in a week for something else. How can this be combined?
Answer: What is in a person’s heart and that he can raise this prayer to the Creator is the main thing. One should try to feel the Creator as the embryo of the state from which it developed.
Question: What does it mean to feel the Creator as an embryo?
Answer: This is felt in relation to me. His influence on me is very small; therefore, unfortunately, I cannot make bigger efforts so that He fills me completely.

Question: How does a spark of light differ from the general desire to receive in which it resides? And where is a person in all this who arranges, finds, and elevates it?
Answer: A spark is a small particle of the light that we must attain. Each person is has The upper light that should shine on each person is prepared in advance. We only need to make efforts so that what we reveal is within our Kelim (spiritual vessels).
Question: But it still seems that there remains a point of the “person” who observes and arranges all this. And even when there is both a desire and the light, a person remains. What happens to him or her?
Answer: Nothing happens to the person. The changes occur in the light that is revealed within him, and the man remains the same. It is one’s internal state that changes. The sensor that feels the light changes and expands, that is, absorbs more of the upper light, the Creator. This is how they grow together.

Question: What is bestowal?
Answer: Bestowal is the restriction of perceiving the current reality and gradual revelation of the true reality to the extent of bestowal to another.
In this way, we will begin to sense from whom we receive. And although everything that exists does so thanks to the Creator, if we receive from Him in this manner, we will be able to study Him. This will be our advantage over all other beings inhabiting our world.

If We Do Not Know What a Vessel of Bestowal Is, Could We Pray an Incorrect Prayer and Receive Something Unnecessary?
There are several questions here:
• Is it possible to pray for something unknown?
• Does the Creator hear a prayer for something that is unknown?
• Will the Creator respond to a prayer even if He knows that we are asking for something hidden from us?
• Is it possible for something harmful to be given from above?
A prayer is a real deficiency that the vessel brings forth from itself, not what can be heard on the outside. A vessel can bring forth a real deficiency from inside of itself only by means of light that shines from above. In other words, it is not the person but the Creator who created the deficiency and the prayer that we do not always feel. Afterward, the Creator answers this prayer, this true inner deficiency in our heart. In other words, the Creator created the vessel and the Creator also fills it.
Where is our “self” in this process? The “self” is the one who feels these actions. In the whole system, the “self” is only the one who feels. Thus, there is no need to be afraid. We need only endeavor to be as genuine as possible with what we feel, and connect it to the Creator as the single source of all actions. This means not deceiving ourselves about what comes from the Creator.
We need nothing but to focus on the Creator and the unwavering knowledge that everything comes from Him. We must check, in the most transparent way, what exactly we receive, without judging whether it is good or bad, or true or false, casting aside all outer shells, confusions, formulas, habits, and things others have said to us. We need to remove as many distractions as possible and connect with the Creator from our internality. By doing so, we will receive all discernments, and gradually, the path will unfold before us. A chain of cause and effect leads us directly to the goal.
Although we know that the light and fulfillment do not come from us, we still think that at least the vessel comes from us. But the truth is that even in prayer, we must ask for it to be given to us. This is called “a prayer before a prayer,” as the Kabbalists who wrote the prayer books are fully aware of this concept.
We should not delude ourselves that the source of anything comes from below. Below, we can only engage in discernments, noticing everything that comes to us. We people are only feeling elements, and nothing more. This is the correct approach. Why? It is because this is how we do not become confused and always place ourselves exactly where we belong. Then, we have no pride or honor, nor sudden thoughts that we have any part in things.
This is when it comes to our relationship with the Creator. But when it comes to society and the environment, we must use them to sharpen our connection with the Creator. We use friends and the community to cleanse ourselves from the shells, confusion, and obscurity. Here, human effort is required.
