The Creator is in everything: in the world, in society, in humanity, in the ten. We merely reveal Him there according to our own qualities. Imagine ten people sitting around one table. The Creator is among them ready to be revealed as soon as they establish the correct network of relationships.
Therefore there is nothing left for us to do but take a sheet of paper and draw on it what each one needs to contribute toward the center of the table, so that a true, proper desire forms in that center—the very thing that is required of creation.
It is said that when something is required of me, I must show the correct intention before my friends, and if I cannot, it is okay. The main thing is my willingness. “Help me, and I will try.” That is enough, because it is written that “no one can free himself from prison.” Only others can help me escape my egoism.
There is nothing wrong with ten egoists gathering together all wanting only to receive. But they are willing to sit and work on their egoism in order to bring themselves to the correct interaction, so that a balanced, mutual intention forms between them, with mutual responsibility and a feeling of mutual dependence.
Gradually, they will begin to feel how close they are to one another, and realize that the Creator did not bring them together for nothing. It is precisely in this common connection, in their ten, that He sees something of His own image. Therefore I must relate to each of my friends as someone chosen by the Creator, as someone placed next to me who is not merely a friend but is actually a part of my own soul.
It is said that “there is no place in the world that is empty of Him.” Here “place” means desire. As soon as our desires reach even a minimal state of bestowal and love, we will immediately reveal the Creator within us.

Question: The article says we have to give the ox everything it needs or it cannot work. But if the ox is the quality of receiving for oneself, what can we give it from the spiritual work so that it does not receive for itself?
Answer: I do not know. But the Creator must know. I cannot set conditions.
It simply states that it is in our power to fulfill everything we need to do to start working for the Creator and to give Him as much as we can. The rest is up to the Creator.

Question: What helps a person consciously, through the path of light, come to the absolute annulment before the Creator?
Answer: Efforts are needed when a person sees that all of one’s properties repel one from the connection with the Creator. Then a person gets a desire to break away from the forces that act upon him and create such a state within him. In this case, by breaking away from the Creator he finds himself.
Such a moment is necessary here, because before he had states when he thought that he was winning. In reality, it was simply distancing, and he had a good feeling about it.

Question: The significance of Baal HaSulam and RABASH comes through you. It is clear that they have written very deep and serious texts. There are also other writers or works in Judaism and other sciences. But you give importance to these particular Kabbalists. After all, Baal HaSulam is not known much in the world. Only now is he becoming popular. How can we know about their greatness apart from you?
Answer: You cannot know them in any way. It happens gradually. Let’s say that you are coming to a family celebration that has both little children and adults. You see how adults stand sedately with an aperitif in hand, talk and nod to each other, and so forth. At the same time little children don’t pay attention to anyone. They run around, bump into people, and push everyone. They do not care that some adult is talking to someone.
The same is happening with us. We are like little children who do not understand these adults who are talking to one another. We push them around. But accordingly, we are forgiven. Later on when we grow past the silly age of infancy, we acquire different thoughts about them that not the same as now.

Comment: In the process of human evolution, many concepts of design, appearance, and everything else changes. For example, what occurred in the seventies now looks ridiculous.
My Response: I am not afraid to seem ridiculous if I create something. I create it in my time, based on the desire and the properties that are revealed in egoism at a given time. Since I am a product of my era, then naturally I create what corresponds to it.
Of course if we watch old movies, we see how naive they seem. But they were relevant for that time, for that level of egoism.
For our time, when egoism develops in its overt negative form—I would say, undisguised, impudent, and naked—when it completely exposes your naked nature to everyone without a drop of shame or embarrassment, I think that this is wonderful! I think people will finally understand who they really are.
When I see your impudence, assertiveness, and selfishness in everything, your unwillingness to openly take anyone or anything into account, I see you, and not some beautiful cosmetic picture, and therefore I am glad that such things are revealed in our time.

Question: I noticed that people and animals from different countries are very different from each other. For example, in India, everything is about the same size, both animals and people, and they move slower than here. When you come to another country, there are certain qualities there. In Israel, cats are so arrogant that they are not afraid of dogs, and they chase them.
How much does geography affect people?
Answer: Undoubtedly geography has a very strong influence on us!
It is best to trace this through the example of the Jews, as an experimental people in the history of mankind, who settled all over the earth. If you take Jews from the Baltic States, or from Germany, or Asia, they are just different people, different nations. They are not similar to each other! The mentality is completely different.
They were once exactly the same since they came from the same territory. Look at what happened to them! Now they have different facial features, different personalities; everything is different.
This shows how much a geographical place, its nature, and the surrounding society affect people, which in turn is also a product of geography.
Question: Are animals also a purely geographical consequence?
Answer: Certainly, naturally, animals too.
They were influenced by the environment in the same way as their common primitive ancestor, who went to Germany or Central Asia. You can see how dogs differ after settling all over the earth.
Comment: Nevertheless, the language of animals is approximately the same, and that of humans is different.
Answer: It just seems this way to us. No! There are also a lot of differences in the language of animals.
Of course not as much as in humans, because this is a consequence of our internal emotional, physiological, and general development. But of course it is different because it expresses feelings in a slightly different way.
