The Creator suffers greatly without us. He has a desire to give, to saturate, to emanate, and there is no one, no one who wants it.
Question: But we want to be satisfied, to receive, don’t we?
Answer: But we do not want to be satisfied from Him or by Him! Therefore, here, I would say, it looks like a war of nerves; who will be the first to give up and say: “I love you!”
It is, of course, a game of exhaustion, really.
Question: And what is our identity when we complement the Creator, as you say?
Answer: In the fact that we become necessary for the Creator in action; we are necessary as it is, but in action, in the fact that we draw closer to Him, unite, merge with Him, in the fact that we complement the universe. We evoke a filling in the entire universe, the supreme light that fills the entire creation. And without us, it would be empty, cold, and dark.
Question: What kind of addition does He expect from us?
Answer: So that we turn on the light. Turn on the light in this world so that the universe may be filled with the light of the Creator, love, goodness, unification, and perfection in all forms.
Comment: At the same time, you say this today when you do not know where to run with these crazy wars…
My Response: You do not have to do anything. We just have to wait calmly, with confidence that this is going to happen.
Question: And still want it?
Answer: Yes, want and ask, quietly ask the Creator.
Question: Is that all that is required of us?
Answer: Yes, without unnecessary noise, statements, or arguments, without anything.

Question: Please explain the Kabbalistic principle: “The expansion of the light followed by its departure makes the Kli fit for its use.”
Answer: This principle also works in our world. When can I say that I sense something, that I came into contact with something, that I desire something? It is when I have tried it, tasted it, and felt pleasure, and then it disappeared, and a special yearning arose within me, a special attraction toward it.
This special attraction, which remains after the initial tasting, is what is called desire. The first time, it was not yet a desire. Someone simply told me that it was good, and I tried it. Nothing more.
In the story of Adam’s transgression, it is said: “He ate, and he will eat again” from the forbidden fruit. The first time, it is not considered a transgression, Adam simply absorbed the pleasure of the upper light. But when he sensed it, and then he himself reached out for it, this was already a sin.
The expansion of the light within the desire and its subsequent departure make the Kli fit for reception. It is the will to enjoy that defines the striving forward of the Kli.

Question: You said that the upper light touches the creation at the point where there is similarity of qualities. Does the decision about similarity of qualities come from the upper light when the creation is ready or does the creation first create this similarity and only then does the upper light come?
Answer: No, the creation cannot create anything on its own. It acts only under the influence of the upper light.

Question: Right now countless processes are happening in my body that I am not aware of and do not feel. They are at work within me and at every moment they determine my state. Do the processes described in The Study of the Ten Sefirot influence me now, or will they only influence me once I reveal the spiritual?
Answer: They will influence you later on, when you grow up.
Question: So right now I am completely separated from this? There is nothing in the sense that these processes are forming my thoughts and desires right now?
Answer: They are forming them, but you do not feel it yet.

Question: What needs to be done to strengthen the Creator’s influence on me so that the desire is renewed more quickly?
Answer: For this one must work on oneself: ask more questions and participate more actively in discussions of the material. After reading a section from The Study of the Ten Sefirot, try to find its meaning and its purpose and “cling” to what the book is speaking about.
One way or another everything will work out, but acceleration is possible only through mutual desire.

Question: You always warn us not to look back, like Lot’s wife who looked back at Sodom and turned into a pillar of salt. So when we are filled with great inspiration after a congress or a dissemination event, does it mean we should not recall it, but instead strive forward to the next degree?
Answer: Not looking back means not wanting to remain in a previous state. But it does not mean that a person should cut himself off from the past as if it does not exist. One must learn from yesterday in order to continue today in a better state.
A person should not want to be in the state of yesterday, but in the state of tomorrow. That is what it means, “to not look back.”
But this has nothing to do with Sodom. Sodom is when one truly wishes to return to a previous degree, which has already been revealed as a corrupt state. One cannot return to it anymore.
If I have decided that my previous state was corrupt and unsuitable for correction, for advancing toward the goal, toward bestowal, then I have no choice: I must finish with it and move forward.
There are people who look back, return, and wish to remain in past states, to be “small.” This contradicts development, and we are forbidden to do so.
The means for this is the group. If I try, even a little, to integrate into the group, then I will always receive my future state from it, regardless of the state of the group or of myself. Therefore, we always have the possibility to move forward and not backward.
