Question: What should I do if I do not feel my evil inclination or, on the contrary, I feel it, but I do not mind, I enjoy it and want to receive more and more?
Answer: You must conduct your internal analysis. Everything that is in you and pushes you toward the goal of creation is the good inclination. Anything that isolates you from the goal of creation is the evil inclination.
Every time from morning to evening, and in the evening when you finish your day, imagine yourself under the power of the good inclination. This is what you do during the day, this is what you fight.
Question: You said that morning lessons are a battlefield. But in addition to them, during the day we also have workshops in the ten, meetings of friends, and group events. Is this also our battlefield?
Answer: Yes, this is your battlefield. It is not necessary to face the enemy, because you unite with each other so that everyone reveals even greater negative qualities in themselves. This is the battlefield.

Question: To remain silent and restrain oneself is an opportunity to enter into an internal dialogue with the Creator. What happens to my desire when I see myself in this dialogue: does it decrease or increase, or does it shrink as if acquiring greater density?
Answer: We must try to get out of our desire to receive, rise to the desire to bestow, and unite with other similar desires of friends. To the extent that the desire grows and intensifies, I will be able to think more and more about how I can awaken the good force in the group and thus help the friends rise together with me.

Question: Does the “strong hand” refer to the blows that fall upon Pharaoh?
Answer: Usually, it depends on the person who interprets these blows in one way or another. But the main thing is that we want to show the Creator how ready we are to overcome our evil inclination that separates us and to unite with one another. That is what truly helps us.
Question: Can the “strong hand” be revealed without prayer?
Answer: No, you will not feel that it is strong except in accordance with the measure of your prayer.

Question: If we reach the point of complete self-nullification, do I reveal the Creator instead of my friends?
Answer: You reveal your friends, and within them, you reveal the next degree, connection with the Creator. This is the very point of prayer in which the ten should unite.
We must unite for the sake of the Creator so that we have a Kli in which to reveal Him. After all, this is our true goal to the extent that we can unite despite our egoism in order to reveal Him. This is our work.

Question: If everything is controlled from above and a person does not have his own power, can we say that making concessions is not an action but the realization that I do not have a separate form?
Answer: No, you should make concessions not because you do not have your own form yet, which will appear later. After all, climbing the entire ladder from our place to infinity, to the highest rung, is felt in annulling our egoism and using it only for bestowal.

When we read The Book of Zohar, we try to create a common space where we desire to unite all our points in the heart within it; this is what it means to study the Torah. Without such an intention, there is no study of the Torah.
The point in the heart is Israel (Yashar–El), meaning the desire aimed toward the Creator. Through study, we strive to attain the Torah, the light that reforms us. Then, within the connection between us, we reveal the Creator.
Within this connection between us and thus within the revelation of the Creator, there are 125 degrees, or 5 worlds, the 5 lights of NRNHY.
The complete absence of connection from which we begin our efforts to unite is called this world. The final point of unity between us is called the world of infinity.
This is how the entire system of the collective Soul is revealed, called Adam HaRishon, Shechina, or Malchut of infinity. The form of this spiritual vessel (Kli) is called the Creator (Kadosh Baruch Hu), the quality of bestowal and love that we reveal.
Everything exists within this system. The entire wisdom of Kabbalah speaks only of how to reveal the Creator according to the law of equivalence of form, as it is said: “From the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator.” By connecting together, we form a system of connection between us that is similar to the upper force of bestowal.
This image must always be before our eyes as we read The Book of Zohar. I must constantly examine where I am on this ladder of connection between us, what The Zohar is speaking about at this moment, whether I desire to connect with others or resist it, and what hinders me.
I must constantly think only of this: how I (Israel) am connected to others by the force that unites us (Torah), and how within our correct connection, the original quality of bestowal (the Creator) is revealed.
