Question: In the 1920s, before Hitler came to power, Baal HaSulam predicted the Second World War. The scary thing is all his predictions came true. In his writings “The Last Generation,” he talks about the possibility of a third and even a fourth world war after which only several thousand people will remain.

Do you also believe that out of eight billion people on Earth a few thousand will survive and complete the universal correction?

Answer: I do not think this is how it will happen. I feel events will unfold in a much gentler and smoother way.

Question: Why has the number of people worldwide increased to eight billion? Only 100 years ago, the world’s population was about two billion. There were periods in the development of mankind when only a few thousand human beings lived on the planet. Why is there such growth? What is the reason for this?

Answer: It depends not on us but on how these people can perceive and implement the spiritual methodology.

In other words, the number of people somehow helps in correcting the ego, which is distributed among a huge number of people.

Question: Is temple of ten people where the Creator resides the ultimate perfection?

Answer: This is a whole Kli. It cannot be said that it is perfection, but it is a whole Kli.

If you ask the Creator to unite you into one whole when you are striving to connect with each other, then He performs this action upon you, and then in the connection between you, you begin to feel spiritual forces.

This is what we must achieve in the process of our correction and unification.

Everything we do (study and other actions) are only needed in order to achieve complete unification among us, because in accordance with its quantity and quality, we will reveal the spiritual world in our unity.

Question: If someone in the ten is unable to annul to the Creator, does this affect the ten?

Answer: It absolutely does. If someone in the ten is lagging behind everyone else, the whole ten should help him be with everyone. Alone, one cannot advance to the Creator, to the goal of creation. The main thing is that you want spirituality, this is fine, but only on the condition that you will give everything over to others.

Question: But there are those whom the Creator does not give the opportunity to invest. How can we balance it?

Answer: We must continue. And then you will gradually reveal the entire system you are in and see how to act best. You will learn on your own.

Question: Baal HaSulam attained all levels and wrote many melodies. Can we say that the melodies of the spiritual worlds are unchangeable, and everyone who attains spirituality can reproduce these melodies unconsciously as if from internal spiritual memory?

Answer: It is a very high level when a person who reaches a certain spiritual level begins to hear a melody that comes from this level.

Question: What is love of friends? What is spiritual love?

Answer: Spiritual love between friends is a relationship between two people who want to rise and help each other in their ascent.

When uniting with another person, you think about what you can give and receive from them. These mutual and simultaneously opposite movements concerning each other oblige you to act.

If a friend offers you to receive something, then receive it; or if he wants you to give something, give it.

And he acts precisely the same toward you. Only in such mutual work with each other will you be able to advance together.

Question: Is the goal of the convention to reveal Malchut in our unity?

Answer: Yes, this will give us the beginning of the revelation of the common Kli. It does not matter what the action is: reception for the sake of bestowal or bestowal for the sake of bestowal. In both cases, we work with the full Malchut but at different levels of intensity.

There is not a single prayer since the world was created through the end of the world, that is similar to another whatsoever (The Ari).

Question: People have been coming together around prayer. Today, “prayer” is the most searched word on Google and everywhere else. Can you explain why every prayer is unique even if they sound similar, with the same words and prayer books?

Answer: It stems from the person’s desire, their aspiration, their urgent need.

Question: Even if they read it from a prayer book?

Answer: Even if they read from a prayer book. They do not see the words.

Question: So it comes from somewhere else?

Answer: It comes from the heart.

Question: So every time we read the same word, we read it in a completely different way?

Answer: Yes, differently.

Question: If I realize that every prayer is unique, what changes in me?

Answer: You read it differently each time. Every day a person is different. And so even when repeating the same words and the same paragraphs, they do not experience the same thing. Each time it moves forward in a spiral.

Question: If I realize: “Yes, every prayer is unique,” do I change then?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So I put a different power into the prayer?

Answer: In any case, you change.

Question: Does the answer from the Creator come only to me or not?

Answer: The answer from the Creator comes only to you. But in order to feel, understand, and accept it, you need to learn how to do that.

Comment: You often say that this answer should not be shared with others, and you should not say: “I received such and such an answer,” and so on.

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why, can you explain?

Answer: Because a person has their own personal, cherished desire; they want to realize it, and other people can interfere with that, even their closest ones.

Question: So if I say it, could there be an evil eye on me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is there such a concept as the evil eye?

Answer: There is envy. That is the evil eye.

Question: Your advice?

Answer: My advice is to keep your aspirations to yourself and direct them only to the Creator.

Question: There is a written prayer and there is my prayer, spoken from the heart. Which is stronger, which is better?

Answer: In the end, the written prayer that you read and live through is still better.

Question: It seems to me that there are states that are close to the truth, when dissatisfaction and anger arise because my friends do not care about my participation, my needs, or my efforts, to the point of despair, and I feel the group does not need me, that I only bring harm, and it would be better for me to leave and not get in the way. What counterarguments can I prepare in such states?

Answer: No counterarguments are necessary. You should say that you understand that you are the lowest and most worthless, but you still want the Creator to help you, and you want to rise toward connection with Him.

And the fact that you are low and worthless, unable to do or achieve anything, is something you know yourself. That is exactly what is meant by “Raise me from the dust.” It is the person who feels this way about their state that the Creator raises.

Question: While being in the lowest state, can I ask for love from my group? At the same time, I also want to love them even more than they love me.

Answer: That is how you are praying for them. This is a very good prayer when you ask for others and yourself as well.
