Question: If the Creator separates a person from the ten, what does He want to say to him and the whole ten?

Answer: The Creator wants to say that He does not want to bring a person in this form closer to Himself. Therefore, let him show to everyone—himself and the Creator—that he is ready to “die” to get out of the egoistic state and think only about his friends and the Creator.

Question: Is willingness to “die” an egoistic desire? Does it feel the opposite of gratitude?

Answer: It all depends on what a person is willing to “die” for. For whom, for what? You must figure it out.

Question: You said that we should as if “photograph” our states. Why is that?

Answer: For various reasons. We need to somehow fix our states—those we have experienced, those we are in, and those we will experience.

Question: So, it seems that the reality before us is as if sliced into fragments that we need to be disassembled like old scrap paper, and in their place we will discover new parts of the world that were hidden until this moment? Is this what correction and renewal are about?

Answer: Yes. We should strive to renew our thoughts, decisions, actions, and feelings, and in this way move forward.

Question: Let’s say I see something better ahead and want to achieve it, but I don’t know how to do it. How can I work with it?

Answer: There is only one way to achieve it: always think only about gaining strength in moving toward the Creator. Then you will begin to feel Him more and more, and you will begin to understand how you can strengthen your connection with Him.

Afterward it is His work. You must bring your desires to the Creator, and He will correct them.

Question: We want a high level of development and are thinking not only of our group but of the entire global community and the whole world. How can we pour it all into the world?

Answer: Pour it out all you can. Turn to the Creator and glorify His actions, what you have come to, and what is yet to come.

Question: It is said, “And He was saddened in His heart.” What does it mean?

Answer: This means that a person is always accompanied by a sense of suffering, feeling the suffering of the Shechina.

Question: Which flaw in the work of the ten saddens the Creator the most?

Answer: When a person forgets about Him and prides himself on his abilities, powers, etc.

Question: When the Creator drops one off a degree, a person loses a Kli. Can this be called spiritual death?

Answer: No, this is a spiritual fall but not death.

Question: How do you feel your actual state as acutely as possible?

Answer: Open your heart.

Question: What is the difference between a sincere confession to oneself of one’s sin, of one’s true intentions, and a confession out loud, for example, to like-minded people?

Answer: There is a big difference. It depends on the depth of realization.

Question: It is a special time now, the holidays, and we have the opportunity to take a step forward. How can we be responsible to the Creator for our actions?

Answer: Yes, we have a unique opportunity to connect, reveal the Creator in the connection between us, hold on to Him, and take a step into His palace. I invite you to do this.

Question: But how can we use this opportunity so nothing pulls us in the wrong direction, only forward?

Answer: Hold on to me.

Question: How do we hold on to you? By supporting you and bestowing to you?

Answer: By holding on to each other and the Creator and constantly desiring to stay together so that the Creator is at the center of the ten.

Question: Is awe the same as love?

Answer: Awe is awareness of the greatness of what you are exploring. If you feel both love and awe simultaneously, that is a good feeling.

Question: How can one be direct with the Creator and remain in awe as if He is already revealed?

Answer: You can be absolutely direct with the Creator since you are already naked before Him.

Next, strive to establish a connection in which you sense what He truly intended to convey and how you should respond to Him. Then you will see that His question and your answer align perfectly.

Question: Is the question “What does this work give me” a Hisaron (deficiency) that I address to the Creator and should I try to understand what I want to receive from Him?

Answer: What does the work for the Creator give you? That is something you can only clarify with Him.

Keep asking about this constantly, and after some time you will begin to receive individual answers here and there, which will eventually form a complete answer.

Question: Sometimes it is unclear whether it is the Creator answering me or if it is an egoistic desire with a hidden intention for me. How do I clarify this?

Answer: You do not need to analyze such a situation immediately, instead return to it after some time, and then again, and again. In this way, you will see how your understanding changes depending on your state, on the group, and everything else.

Question: How can one come to a perfect practice of Torah and good deeds when you feel limited both in intellect and in capabilities?

Answer: A person cannot be completely limited. He is only limited by what he must cultivate within himself. Therefore, he is not faced with any special obstacles.

However, it is precisely those obstacles that a person encounters on his path to development that elevate him and lead to the right closeness to the Creator and resemblance to Him.
