Question: How can one strive to study TES (Talmud Eser Sefirot, The Study of the Ten Sefirot) not for the sake of receiving, but for the sake of bestowal?
Answer: Think about this all the time. I have no other advice right now.
Question: To whom is TES revealed? To one who thinks about this or to one who is patient? What is the main quality needed for the Creator to be revealed?
Answer: The main thing is to be similar to the Creator.

Question: We study that in the branch everything that exists in the root is pleasant. It follows that when we go through the path of correction, we calibrate everything that belongs to our root. But then where do desires and pleasures that are not inherent to the root come from? After all, they do exist.
Answer: And there will be even more. But we must agree with this, check and you will see that they do not appear out of nowhere.
Gradually we will come to know them, become acquainted with them, and feel how it is possible to correct them.

Question: Does shame follow fear?
Answer: The development of shame leads us to the feeling that we are different from the Creator.
Question: Is the right work that we have to reveal a multitude of our thoughts within the thought “One, Single, Unified,” in order to bring them all back to it, or should we come from the multitude of thoughts to one thought?
Answer: Right now, it doesn’t matter. Either this way or that way. In any case, we are moving toward something unified, where the Creator and His attitude toward all of creation is revealed to us.
Question: Is shame a method that I use or does it turn into a Kli for receiving the light?
Answer: It is a Kli for receiving the light.

Question: What is this part of the Creator, “the soul in a person that has separated from the Creator”?
Answer: It is the light of the Creator that the created being receives within its desire to enjoy. Through this the created being becomes completely separated from the Creator and feels this separation.

Question: It is said that when the creations separate from each other, they cease to receive fulfillment. But I see that even in this state suddenly great illuminations and great pleasures appear. For example, even a very experienced friend can go against the whole ten and say: “This is my opinion. I am even ready to give up spirituality, but I will not depart from my opinion.” From where does such an illumination come?
Answer: From human egoism.
Question: But the system works in such a way that fulfillment comes only from the upper to the lower, while egoism is the lowest point. Where does any pleasure of its own come from?
Answer: It is not quite so. The point is that the desire to be filled relates to egoism, that is, to the lower, while the desire to fill is the desire of the upper. In this they differ from each other. But the lower, that is, the creation, cannot reach the upper, the Creator, by its own power. It doesn’t have any way to do that.
The only thing it can achieve this is if it detaches from the Creator and works only with its own desire to bestow, that is, it becomes similar to the Creator.

Question: In what way can we strengthen or gather the light of the Creator?
Answer: By learning and speaking about the actions of the light that comes from the Creator, we draw closer to Him and awaken Him to influence us even more. We increasingly resemble Him, and then we ourselves change. We begin to understand Him better. This is called the revelation of the upper light to the created beings.
Everything within us happens under the influence of the upper force. It changes our desire, and as this desire develops, we begin to feel more and more what we are lacking. This is what we are learning.
