Question: How can we connect with other tens if each ten is a whole world in itself?
Answer: That is not your concern. Everything is done by the Creator: He lowers and raises the tens in relation to one another.
He has far more data about each group and combines them according to a specific path. Therefore, don’t pay attention to how or where we are.
Ask, you are obligated to ask.

Question: How can we understand that a friend is in a state of descent?
Answer: The most important thing is to constantly think about how you wish for the upper force to unite all the friends, bring them closer, connect them, and pull them upward.
That is what we must do. We must think about good deeds.

Question: How should I correctly annul myself before a friend in the ten?
Answer: It is certainly not easy, but essentially, it is the state we must reach.

Question: Is that called annulment?
Answer: You will see.

Question: For you, does God exist?
Answer: There is a Creator for me. It is the one who created everything, including you, and wants you to fulfill your purpose.
Question: What is it?
Answer: Your purpose is to reach His level, to become similar to Him. That is why a person is called “Adam” from the word “Domeh” – “similar” to the Creator.
Question: Then again, similar to what?
Answer: To the Creator.
Question: And what does that mean? What is that quality?
Answer: It is the quality of bestowal, the quality of creation, the quality of governing all the worlds. This is the state a person must attain.
Question: Anyone in our world?
Answer: Absolutely everyone!
Comment: It is mind-boggling!
My Response: But you will come to it, whether you want to or not.

Who Is The Creator?
Baal HaSulam was a scholar engaged in pure science. He wrote in a high academic style. And my teacher Rabash is very close to us. He holds us in his arms and shows us, “This is how you should walk. This is exactly why you are experiencing such and such states.” He constantly guides you like a small child, helps, feeds, swaddles, does everything to raise you.
Rabash, in essence, created a Kabbalistic encyclopedia of inner spiritual work. He revealed all the states we have to go through in his articles. Therefore, if a person studies them all the time, he has no problems.
While working on an abridged version of these articles and going through them over and over again, I see how much it is like baby food, without which a child would not survive. A person cannot receive the nourishment of Kabbalah that Baal HaSulam actually gives one. Baal HaSulam pours such a light on him, it is like he places a steak in front of an infant.
But Rabash does not. He turns all this into porridge, into boiled vegetables, into milk, which can be consumed in the proper portions. He was able to do it amazingly! And in such a style, in such a form, it is impossible to describe!
I remember how he wrote, every day a little bit, a little more, a little more, and by the end of the week the article would come out. He would hand it to me, and I would make copies and distribute it to the students. And for the entire following week we would read it, until a new article came out. And then the same thing again. In other words, it was a systematic, internal, spiritual work of mastering the spiritual space.

What Is the Meaning of “Animal Food” and “Human Food”?
Each spiritual degree is nourished according to its stature. Animal food is vegetative. Human food is both vegetative and animate because the human belongs to the speaking degree. What distinguishes a human from an animal? Their degree. Baal HaSulam says that human food is processed from wheat, while animal food consists of raw grains and the wheat itself.
He explains this well in Sifra deTzniuta from The Zohar: A person comes to a city (“city” refers to the world of Atzilut) and sees that everyone there is eating various breads and pastries. He looks at the foods, and people offer him: “Taste.” He tastes and finds the foods very delicious. Then he asks, “What are these foods made from?” They answer: “From wheat.” And he is astonished: “I have never known foods like this, because my whole life, like an animal, I ate only raw wheat.”
The person reached the “city,” Atzilut, and saw that foods are sold and eaten there, but they are processed differently. They are called “human food.” Only a human can prepare such foods, by processing wheat with “water” and “flour,” which symbolize the discernments of Hassadim and Hochma.
