Question: Is connection with the Creator my personal feeling of reality or is it a true state that is independent of my feelings?
Answer: It is your personal state.
Question: It is said that there is nothing perceived or imagined in the spiritual worlds. Then how do we reveal and feel such qualities as, for example, personal governance?
Answer: When we come to it, then you will begin to feel it and work with it.
Question: We work between us, receive the quality of bestowal from the Creator, and adhere to Him in this point. From this point, what is considered the ascent of the common heart?
Answer: We will learn that later. I am afraid that now you might lose the thread of your thoughts.

Question: The upper root of the Creator seems to be detached from the will to receive, from creation.
How can we be connected with it, while being completely dependent on it on one hand, and on the other hand, absolutely detached?
Answer: We are not detached from it. On the contrary, we must reveal how deeply we are connected with our root, with the Creator, with the upper force, and how we can draw closer to Him and constantly reveal Him as our root.
Question: Can the will to receive reveal this root precisely from its nature?
Answer: No, for it is only one end. We can reveal our root only by being opposite to it. Therefore, in order to understand creation, we must study the Creator.

Question: How can the full potential of matter that pertains to creation be revealed within us? Should we attach this matter to the Creator or attach everything that is in the Creator to this desire, to matter?
Answer: In principle, when we study the desire to receive, we thereby ascend to the Creator and can join Him, merge into Him, and unite with Him. This is the result of our spiritual work, which is what He desires from us.

Question: You said that creation connects with the Creator through its desire to receive. But how can it connect through this desire to the desire to bestow?
Answer: These two kinds of desires are connected between us, and between us and the Creator. Therefore, through the desire to receive, creation can influence the Creator, His desire to bestow to us. This is our work.
It is like one end of the thread, from us to the Creator, and it is in our power, in our hands.

Question: It is said that the desire to receive the Creator’s light is the material of creation. But is the desire to delight the Creator a different kind of matter? Is it something we create?
Answer: It is also a relationship between creation and the Creator: either to the Creator or to the creation. Therefore, we must work with both.
Question: So a person is called to train their desire: what should be desired and for what purpose?
Answer: Yes, we must number our desires and figure out which ones bring us closer to the Creator or further from Him and what to do with them.
And so by gradually changing, we will move from one stage to another.

Question: It often happens that a person brings in psychology into and thinks that he is engaged in inner work. How can one distinguish inner work from psychology?
Answer: Psychology is when you work with your egoism, and spiritual work is when you work on your egoism.
In spiritual work, you consider the desires of others and try to transcend yourself and exist within them. You accept the values of the Kabbalistic environment, which defines what is important to you, and you strive to realize the guidelines you receive from it. Spiritual work is above the ego because you work with the desires of the environment.
In psychology, you work within your ego, sorting out within yourself what is important and what is not, how you think, and how you influence.
Spiritual growth is based on constantly doubting yourself, jumping back and forth, and thus studying yourself. Spiritual development is self-knowledge, where you constantly go within and understand yourself more and more. After all, all perception is within you, the worlds are within you, the world of infinity is within you, the entire universe is within you, in you.
Question: But how can I attain a planet within myself?
Answer: Oh! You will see that it simply appears to you, a certain spot on your screen, it turns out, is the Moon and another spot is the Sun. They are drawn within you by your inner forces, just as you see a picture on your computer screen.
There are 613 forces on your inner screen, the vectorial combination of which paints the overall picture for you. That is all, there is nothing else. Just as we are talking now, you see me on your computer screen, and I see you on mine. It is absolutely the same thing.
I’m sitting in my office right now, and I have a device here with which I can see a dozen other places outside. These are my eyes. I have become so accustomed to this device that I feel it as part of my body, as if I were outside the building, in a hallway, somewhere in another department, in a lecture hall. I live in these places. How is this device different from my eyes? Not at all.
