Question: Which is more important: to imagine the Creator or to see Him? Is it that He would fill our imaginations or our eyes?
Answer: I think it is the same thing. There is a difference in the text as the author expresses it. But in general, imagining or seeing in Kabbalah is, one might say, the same thing.
Question: It turns out that we do not reveal the Creator, but we reveal Him in our actions. Should we reveal Him?
Answer: Yes, just present Him with the common Kli, which is created by the connection between you, and everything will be fine.

During the work, a person should say, “If I am not for me, who is for me?” At that time in the work, they think that they themselves are doing the ascents and descents, that they are men of war, called Tzava, “mighty men.” Afterward, when they are redeemed, they attain that the Lord is of hosts [Tzevaot], meaning that the Creator made all the ups and downs they had (RABASH, Article No. 6, “What Is Above Reason in the Work?“).
Question: Why is the Creator called a warrior? After all, He does everything; He gives both descents and ascents.
Answer: In order to participate in the movement of a person and of humanity, we must in some way correspond to the Creator.
Therefore, it is said here that we need to take an active part in this, examining and correct ourselves through prayer, in everything in which we discover our insufficient participation.

Question: Should I recognize the evil inclination myself and begin a war with it, or should I hold the line and simply resist the disturbances coming at me?
Answer: No, a war has a goal, and you must be directed toward it. Without this, there will be no progress. We need to unite among us and see how we ourselves combine our thoughts, actions, and goals into one common force.
It is precisely this common force that overcomes our harmful desires and impulses toward the Creator.
That is why we must be clearly directed toward connection between us and against the Creator. Against the Creator means against the various disturbances that He sends us.

We must understand that our egoism is created by the Creator and governed by Him. And on our part, we must wage war against our evil inclination, try to bring it out from under the power of the Creator, and not cease this war until we feel the possibility of victory.
The evil inclination acts directly against the Creator, trying to conceal Him from us. A person must imagine that he is constantly face to face with the enemy—his own evil inclination.
And even if he falls into egoism, he must try to rise out of it and then prevail over it. That is, in all the most difficult states that he goes through, he strives to recognize the true enemy.
All our advancement lies in the fact that we acquire more and more strength to rule over our evil inclination. Therefore, we must do everything possible for this victory, falling asleep and waking up with this thought.
We must try to identify this evil inclination, the force that prevents us from approaching and uniting with the Creator, and ask the Creator to help us overcome this enemy. This is the entire war.

Question: It is a very subtle nuance when Malchut becomes Keter. Is this the transition we want to feel?
Answer: Everything depends only on the intention. Either you desire to bestow through your action or to receive.
In reality, you do not have the ability to bestow. You can do it only if you have such an intention that can operate both in reception and in bestowal.

Question: We often hear that to win the war against the evil inclination, we must come to the correct connection. What is the correct connection?
Answer: The correct connection between us is one in which no one tries to stand out, but rather, each one wants to push others toward unity.
Question: What does it mean that the world will become transparent?
Answer: It means that we will directly feel our connection with others as something we understand and feel and that this connection will stand before us as the highest achievement for each of us.
Question: Can we say that the problem between conflicting sides is that neither side recognizes the hand of the Creator, His governance in the actions of the other, and that in this perception, both sides are mutually connected?
Answer: Of course. But the point is that we must make this clear to everyone, and that all people should come to feel what we must all do together in order to reach a common result. That is what we need to discover, understand, and accept.
Question: Does true spiritual work happen not through a stable Kli, but in the moment when its form is lost and only the intention to reach the light remains? Is this the annulment of the form before the birth of something new?
Answer: No, it is not exactly as you put it. But it will gradually take shape under the influence of the general light that we awaken.

Question: Can we fight the evil inclination instead of a friend who has weakened and fallen?
Answer: Practically, no. You must be very connected to each other and replace each other in all circumstances. Then in the lower states when you disconnect and distance from each other, you will also be able to make up for him. But that will be later.
Question: How can we help a friend until he enters the battlefield?
Answer: Invite him to participate in this work with us.
