Question: If we genuinely search for the right answers to spiritual questions in the depths of our hearts, but find them only in authentic sources, i.e., we still do not reach a high corrected level, what should we do about it?

Answer: Try to reach the level where your answer will be correct. Answer as correctly as possible, and the Creator will finish the rest for you.

You are examining yourself and realizing the Creator is in this process. Therefore, you need to answer what you think is right.

Then everything else will change, be corrected, and checked. You will see for yourself. Actually, one should strive to be as straight as possible with oneself.

Question: Should we cultivate the hope of correction, a new degree that will be purer, better, and more correct?

Answer: This should always be the case. This is where you start from.

Question: How does a person’s spiritual development happen? Does one begin to find joy in both spirituality and corporeality? Or should there be no joy before entering spirituality and then a sudden shift to spiritual joy?

Answer: No, a person can find joy in their small achievements or insights that they experience on the way to fully developing their desires.

Question: Some people in the group have a certain fear of rejoicing in our unity and connection. But there should be joy in the fact that we were able to unite and feel some upliftment, right?

Answer: Of course. It is foolish to think that it is not good to rejoice. If you do not rejoice, you deprive the Creator.

Question: We talk about going back from fear and coming back from love. A person is constantly returning and leaving, returning and leaving. How can I be sure that I will no longer descend below a certain level from fear or love for the Creator?

Answer: It is said, “How is repentance? When He who knows the mysteries will testify that he will not turn back to folly” (The Zohar, Tazria). The Creator Himself guarantees that a person will no longer fall into the desire to receive.

In other words, the guarantee is the light of the Creator, which supports the person.

Question: For a certain type of egoism, a specific teacher comes. How did the development of our egoism progress that specifically Baal HaSulam descended into this world to reveal the spiritual methodology to us?

Answer: Today, we cannot yet fully reveal this. We only see that a special person at a special time received a gift from the Creator that allowed him to explain and draw practically all people to the knowledge of the Creator.

Question: What is revelation of the Creator in feelings and in the mind?

Answer: It is when a person feels completely ready for adhesion with the Creator.

Question: The connection with the Creator becomes easier and simpler. What might this mean for the future?

Answer: What it will mean in the future I do not know. But we must understand that only through the upper light descending upon us can we achieve a connection with the Creator and with the purpose of creation.

Question: What is this paradox that in the last generation we have accumulated the greatest and heaviest egoism, but on the other hand, we have more opportunities to approach the Creator?

Answer: Huge egoism is precisely the condition for drawing closer to the Creator.

Is there taste in faith? Of course, there is. It is a sweet taste—attraction.
We just need to find it, reveal it, and try it to know what that taste is.

After that, we will be able to determine whether we are in faith, close to it, or on the path to it. Then everything will become clearer to us.

Question: The four types of plants used during Sukkot—citron, palm, myrtle, and willow—symbolize four degrees we must go through. So why is it said that we must unite them? Aren’t we, on the contrary, striving to move from degree to degree? What is the essence of this connection?

Answer: The essence is to gather from each type what is essential in it for connection into a single bundle. This is a spiritual action, where we gather all four types of desires that can be attributed to bestowal. By uniting them, we receive a complete set of qualities that elevate us toward the Creator.

Question: In the process of spiritual work should we collectively search within ourselves for all these qualities of the plants, or should we find only the one we are currently on?

Answer: Find one of these qualities at a time. Then continue to strive toward a higher quality until you encompass everything.

Question: How can we correctly receive the manifestations of all four types in the soul?

Answer: According to the writings. In each of Rabash’s articles, something is discussed. You need to collect the actions described in each article, connect them together, and in the end, you will achieve complete correction.

Question: Sometimes in the group, there is a certain condemnation for not being able to rejoice in the same way as your friends. Which is better: to artificially pretend to be joyful or to stay silent?

Answer: There should be no artificial play. You should be happy about what the group is happy about.

Question: Could it be said that joy is naturally linked to intention, and when the intention gradually changes, joy may disappear as one moves on to deeper inner work?

Answer: Joy should not disappear.

Question: So we just have to look for it?

Answer: There is no need to look for anything. If you are engaged in deeper spiritual work, you will also experience its consequences more deeply.

Question: I feel like we do not have enough time to work in the ten because there is so much to work on and it is unclear where to start. What does the Creator want the most?

Answer: The Creator wants us first and foremost to feel united within the ten.

This unity should create a platform on which we stand, and it should never slip away from under our feet.
We should all fit on this platform, even if there are hundreds of us, hold each other’s hands, and strive to fill ourselves as much as possible with the light of the Creator.

When we reach such a state, we will experience a special feeling where it does not matter what happens next. What matters the most is that we hold on to one another. That is all.
