Question: What should be the correct outcome of the war with the evil inclination? Are we supposed to lose so that in the end the Creator will help us?
Answer: No, we are not supposed to lose. On the contrary, we must try to do everything in this war to win each small private battle with the Creator.
We need to imagine ourselves already entering the work for the Creator, being in connection with Him and at the same time with the impure force that hides the Creator from us and does not want us to be constantly connected with Him.
If we begin to imagine all this in such a way, then even such a neutral state will already be a good starting point for us.

Question: You have repeatedly said that essentially your answers do not provide any solutions; they are just information.
Answer: Yes, there is truth in that because until a person internally understands this information, realizes it, and feels it, he is not its carrier; he is merely a listener. It means nothing, it is not his, and he cannot work with it.
If we are talking about the fact that his work must be internal, then he must find this information within himself. Therefore all my words are intended only to direct a person’s search in the right direction.
Comment: But in any case, beyond the words you say, there is some kind of force that you transmit. Many people feel it.
My Response: Naturally, I transmit my inner fulfillment to others, and a person who wants to be close to our path, to me, and to this idea, receives it. He begins to shake inside, and he feels it.
Question: What exactly are you transmitting? Are you transmitting inner experience, or light, or force?
Answer: I cannot transmit the inner light to another person unless I have a shared screen with him. I transmit only the surrounding light. That is why people feel ascents, descents, and some internal movements; but these are only from the outside, under my influence. These are not the personal feelings of a person where he feels the light enter, exit, and work in his soul.
Comment: So essentially a person listens to you and suddenly feels “Wow! That is exactly it! I feel what he is talking about.”
My Response: That is psychology. What you are talking about is psychology. That is still not light, not Kabbalah, but rather the person’s emotional response in the heart and in the mind. It is an ordinary earthly adaptation to what I am saying, but not spiritual. For the spiritual, he must have some property similar to mine, a Kli.

Question: If a friend does not come to the morning lesson, should I relate to him with faith above reason and think that he is fighting together with us, or should I relate to him in some other way?
Answer: How can he be fighting with you if he does not attend the lessons?
A lesson is like a battlefield. When we come to one place, whether physically or virtually, we try to imagine ourselves as united with others. And it turns out that the main thing is to be in thought together with everyone.
Being virtually on the battlefield does not mean that I am sleeping and dreaming of being with my friends. It means that I see myself and them on the screen and we are all going into battle right now.

Why Do I Get Up For A Lesson?
The Light that returns to the source is the only means, the only tool, by which I correct desire. All I have is desire and light, which is called “the light that returns to the source,” because that’s exactly what I demand from it.
We give this light various names: “inner,” “surrounding,” “NRNHY,” and so on. But fundamentally, I demand that it return me to the source, to goodness. That is the only way I can address it.
My appeal can be only like this. I cannot demand the light of Nefesh or the light of Ruach; this will be the result of my state. But in order to change that state, I must address the Light, invoke its action, and it is this light, the one that returns to the source, that acts upon me.
I have instructions that explain how to act, how to work in a group, to study, to disseminate. These instructions are generally called “Torah,” i.e., the teaching (Oraa), a guide for action. According to the Torah’s program, I go through all the stages of the path that it describes.
So this is a simple matter. I have an egoistic desire and light that can transform it. And I myself stand in the middle, in the middle third of Tifferet, and decide to change or not. This choice is not made in isolation but in an environment, in a group.
In the end, I depend on rather “superficial,” “mechanical” actions. I join a group and lower my head before it. I do everything the friends want, and from them I receive the desire to be corrected thanks to envy, lust, and honor. With this desire, received from the group, I appeal to the light so that it will correct me. Then it comes and does just that. And in the new state—it all starts again.
From this it is clear that I receive both the desire and the correction (the screen) from the outside, from the group and the Light. I am that single, base point called: “something from nothing.”

Question: You said we should try to hold onto the light of Nefesh and not fall from it. How can we create this light between us in the ten in order to hold it and then move on to the next level?
Answer: We do not yet know how to do this, but we will strive upward, toward the feeling of the governance of the Creator over us (this is called Nefesh). When each one feels within themselves this level of connection with the Creator on the level of Nefesh, then we will be able to start rising to the level of Ruach, then Neshama, and afterward, perhaps to Haya and Yechida.
It depends on how much a person wants to be close with their friends, and through them, close to the Creator who fills them.

Question: It is said that once the Creator makes a covenant of peace with a person, there are no more wars for him. Is this the entry point into spirituality or is it already the end of correction?
Answer: This is an individual end of correction (Gmar Tikkun). Each time we complete the correction on the level of Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, or Yechida, it is as if we pause.
We squeeze everything out of ourselves at each state, at each level, and in this way, we can move forward.
But this pause on the previous level is necessary because within each level, and within all levels, there are also Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, Yechida of Nefesh, and then NRNHY of Ruach, NRNHY of Neshama, and so on. That is how it works.
Question: Does an individual Gmar Tikkun mean that it begins from the very lowest level of Nefesh?
Answer: Of course, from Nefesh de-Nefesh.

Question: Can we say that true faith is not my faith in the Creator but my existence within His faith in me?
Answer: Faith is a special force we receive from above. It fills our desires, which are the essence of each of us, and to this extent we can direct ourselves toward the Creator.
Question: In the war against the evil inclination, there is a special action “return” when all the power, might, and influence of egoism can be destroyed. What is this action?
Answer: In general, the ego does not get destroyed. It is simply blocked by the force of the Creator, which affects us and allows us to rise to some extent.
