If his friend is number one, and the zero follows it, it is considered that one receives from his friend ten (10) times more. And if he says that he is double zero compared to his friend, he receives from his friend a hundred (100) times more (Rabash, Articles, 7, “According to What Is Explained Concerning “Love Thy Friend as Thyself”).

Question: There is a power of annulment in front of a friend by one zero and a power of annulment in front of a friend by two zeros. What is the difference in the power of annulment?

Answer: For each person there are different criteria in accordance with the root of his soul. Therefore, I cannot say what the power of your property of bestowal and love should be so that you can rise to the first level, to the second, to the third one.

A person who does not possess these properties cannot try them on for himself. You should understand that you will attain all this as a result of continuous work among yourselves in the ten when you try to treat your friends as it is written in the primary sources, and your friends will treat you in exactly the same way.

It is precisely with this technique that you will begin to master the spiritual levels, understand what is on them, and rise quickly.

Question: How can we work only on the part of Adam’s soul that is in us?

Answer: Each of us receives a portion of the part of Adam HaRishon that is in us that we have already corrected. What is still uncorrected is also within us. This is what we are doing.

The most important thing for us is to come together, both men and women, as one common whole. Through this, we can begin to feel the piece of Adam within us.

Question: How can we not miss the opportunity at this convention to connect all the parts into one soul?

Answer: This is what we are doing. It is not a matter of ordinary human interaction. We must come close to one another in our senses and realize that through our feelings we can connect to such a degree that we feel our source, the source from which we descended. Through this, each will correct their individual and our collective soul, which will allow us to feel the upper world more and more.

Question: How can we understand that we are progressing on the path of connection? Could it be that what is happening to us is just a game of egoism?

Answer: If, from time to time, we ask the Creator for help in rising above egoism and something is accomplished, it means we are moving forward.

Question: How can we attain faith above reason like you and our great teachers? What should we do to achieve this?

Answer: This comes with time and is contrary to what you desire. It will all come.

Question: What does “a moment of holiness” or “being in a moment of holiness” mean?

Answer: It is a connection with the Creator. The Creator is holy, meaning He exists only in the desire to bestow. Therefore, those who have such a desire or are approaching it are called holy.

Question: How can one achieve the state of one united soul?

Answer: This is our task. Therefore, the most important commandment given to us from above is to love your neighbor as yourself. Then you will feel your connection with everyone else. And to the extent that you unite with others, the light of the Creator will shine in you more and more.

Question: By constantly connecting with the field of unity, how can one avoid falling into the material world?

Answer: It is possible that you will not be able to hold on. Most likely, you will experience multiple descents. But at the same time, you will ask for the strength to rise and unite again. And this is how you will continually correct yourself.

Question: What is the part of a prayer when we say: “The Creator is great, merciful, and mighty”? We know that prayer consists of gratitude and requests. That seems more like praise.

Answer: But that is what is in your heart. You feel and say these words based on what you are feeling.

Question: Can praise help when someone is in a state of descent and cannot move forward?

Answer: No that would be a lie. It is impossible to lie to the Creator.

This is what it means that one must engage in Torah day and night, that the night and the day should be equal for him, as written in The Zohar (BeShalach). In other words, the state of completeness called “day,” and the state of incompleteness called “night,” should be equal (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 300, “A Land Where You Will Eat Bread Without Scarcity”).

Question: If a person has the desire to pray and give thanks, it is called the day of the Creator, and if there is no desire, it is called the night of the Creator. In what way can they be equal?

Answer: In the fact that for a person both desires should be equally important because both conditions come from the Creator, and one must relate to both states equally. Day is when the Creator shines, and night when He is concealed from you.

Recognition of evil is a state where you cannot stand your egoistic nature and are ready to do anything to get rid of it.

However, this is not your entire ego; it is only the part that is currently revealed. Still, its recognition awakens a deep hatred toward it.

If you feel you are evil, understand how you genuinely relate to others, the world, people, and ultimately to the Creator, and desire to rise above your egoistic problems. This is the essence of healing from egoism.

Question: Is complete annulment before the friends and the Rav a cure for the evil inclination?

Answer: Not entirely, you must feel your illness and realize that you want to get rid of it. For this, you need to change your attitude toward your friends and the Creator from negative to positive. Then everything will be corrected, and you will feel how the world changes.

Question: Will we create a Temple for the light of the Creator to enter at the Congress?

Answer: Yes, this is what we want. It is why we gather—to create a unified desire between us in which there will be no transition from one to the other, but everything will be one.

Then in this unified desire, the Creator can be revealed. This is what we need.
