Question: It is written in TES that Atik Yomin first concealed the secrets of the Torah and then revealed them. What is this action?
Answer: A person who studies Torah correctly goes through such two states: first Atik Yomin is concealed from him, and then is revealed. We must reveal and understand what this is.
We need to accept everything revealed and everything that remains concealed, find a place for it within ourselves, and through connection with our friends, remain hopeful this would be revealed to everyone.

Question: It is said: “He labored and found.” If finding is the opposite of “payment for labor” that we expect from our work, does this mean that the Creator is revealed in the most unexpected places, from the unity in the ten, and not where we expect the payment?
How can we reach this state within the ten?
Answer: We need to try to reach such unity in the ten that our connection is aimed at revealing the Creator, so that we truly feel that He is revealed in the connection between us.
Question: Through our attempt to connect with the ten, through the lessons the Creator gives us, how can one know or feel that one has found and not fallen into the traps of one’s own egoism?
Answer: Keep searching, and you will see whether you have found what you were looking for, or whether you are indeed caught in the nets of egoism.

The Creator is my corrected quality. The Creator is revealed within the created being, and therefore in Hebrew He is called “Bo-reh” — “Come and See.”
I must reach my corrected state, my corrected self; I will see my corrected qualities and I will call them “the Creator.”
I reveal the Creator only within myself, within my corrected vessels of perception. Outside of myself I feel nothing. I perceive all reality, everything that exists, within me, in my sensations. Therefore, The Book of Zohar says that all the worlds and all that fills them, including the Creator, are within a person. Because they are felt by him only within himself. It only seems to me that everything is outside, beyond me.
This illusion is given purposefully: through the tension between the sensation of “outside” and “within,” I acquire the ability to see the world, myself, and the Creator both from the outside and within — and I become able to perceive creation as He does: before creation, during creation, and afterward, in future “super-states.”
Spiritual perception is based on the feeling of “other people’s” desires, which I attach to myself with the desire to bestow to and love them. In this way, my desire grows. And to the extent that I unite with other desires, I reveal an ever-broader reality.
In our world, we reveal the world of Assiya, because each person is locked within himself, within his own, and therefore egoistic, desire.
If I begin to connect with a group, with desires similar to mine in their yearning for the Creator, then to the extent of this connection I reveal the world of Yetzira. I have united to some degree with the environment into a single desire, and within it I reveal the measure of bestowal I have attained, which is called “the Creator.”
The phenomena I reveal within my corrected desire are called light, and its deeper source, the Creator. Then a greater egoistic desire, my “I,” is revealed in me. And above it, in my effort to unite with the group, I attain the world of Beria.
In this manner we reveal all five worlds. Baal HaSulam writes in the “Introduction to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” that all the worlds are within a person. Therefore, the wisdom of Kabbalah is the revelation of the Creator to the created being, within the created being, in its corrected desires (organs of perception).
By revealing the quality of bestowal, we also attain its source, its originator. This most inner attainment is what we call the Creator.

41. The Zohar writes about the text “Those who seek Me shall find Me,” and asks, “Where does one find the Creator?” They said that the Creator is found only in the Torah. Also, regarding the verse, “Indeed, You are a God who hides,” that the Creator hides Himself in the holy Torah (Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot“).
The point is that those who “pursue” the Creator and want to reveal Him, will certainly reveal Him. And this can be done only by studying the Torah, for the Creator is hidden within it. He created the Torah precisely with this condition.
Why does the Creator hide Himself? It is so that we would feel our separation from Him and begin to ask the Creator to help us reveal Him. Therefore, we need to understand the phrase well: ״Those who seek Me shall find Me.״ That is, we must clarify what this request truly is.
