Question: Can we feel which actions are prompted by reason and which by faith above reason?

Answer: If we could do something against reason, in faith, we would feel it. But for now, we cannot determine what we should have by faith above reason. Therefore, whatever we do is always within reason.

Question: How does work in faith above reason differ between a righteous person and a sinner?

Answer: A righteous person acts in bestowal despite reason and above reason and a sinner acts within reason when he sees that it is worthwhile to do so. The righteous person gradually develops the intention to be in faith above reason through requests and prayers. He attempts to turn to the Creator, sees that it does not work, and asks the Creator to help him.

Question: What should I focus on in my work in the ten?

Answer: Focus on making the ten more precious to you than yourself because it is your spiritual vessel, your soul. Consider how your soul, the eternal spiritual level, should be more valuable to you than your body. The body is the temporary animalistic level, but the soul is the eternal spiritual level and through it you enter attainment of the Creator.

Therefore, the most important thing is to have several friends within whom you feel your soul resides. Let’s say there are a few people, maybe five or six, and in them your soul exists. This is crucial. You feel that without them, you have no soul.

If you constantly depict yourself in relation to your ten in this way, you will soon notice the changes that are occurring between you. It will be the Creator Himself who starts to speak with you in this way.

Question: When I think that it is advantageous for me to follow the Kabbalists or that I have no other choice, I immediately fall below reason. How can I constantly stay in a point above reason?

Answer: Engage in study with any intention; the main thing is to study, and later it will change.

During the study, the upper light will influence you, which will gradually transform you.

Question: The ability to tell your body “do it,” and it obeys—is this some special quality? Suppose I do not feel that I can do this. Is this a certain degree in bestowal?

Answer: This is a degree where you receive light from above, and it helps you perform actions in which you do not even feel anything.

Question: Is the feeling of being righteous a manifestation of spiritual pride? How can I protect myself from this state?

Answer: To protect yourself from thoughts that you want to be righteous or that you have already become righteous, you need to engage in collective work within a group and try to rise with the help of the Creator. Then you will feel when you can rise and when you cannot. In this process, you will experience alternating states of “righteous – wicked,” “righteous – wicked.”

At that point everything will work out for you. You will clearly know what state you are in.

Question: How can we maintain the point of connection with the Creator?

Answer: Always stay connected with Him. What is He doing? What does He desire? What do I wish to give Him? To Him or from Him? You need to be in such contact as if you are on a direct line with the Creator and never leave this connection.

Question: The fact is that the obstacles sent by the Creator are sometimes stronger than us because they also include the force of the Creator. How can one remain in connection with Him under these circumstances?

Answer: There is no need to overthink it. Assume that you always have the opportunity to contact the Creator. Reach out to Him and maintain this connection.

Question: Will we be able to achieve true pleasure without suffering?

Answer: It depends on the kind of suffering. There are sufferings of love when I strive for the one I love, and for me it is suffering.

Question: How can we begin to regret the lack of love so this suffering will bring us closer to the Creator?

Answer: We need to think about it and discuss it with our friends. In this way each of you will receive various definitions from others of what connection is, what separation is, how far you are from the Creator, and so on.

The Creator is waiting for you to understand where you are and how you are connected to each other and Him, which enables you to move forward. It all comes from above, from Him.

Question: You said we build the reflected light from Malchut to Keter with a ten. How? What is this action?

Answer: Try to feel it. Ask the Creator, and try with your friends to be connected so you have the reflective ability of the Kli where instead of receiving, you are ready to bestow. You can reflect the light in a ten if you have a common desire.

Question: Can we say that the common desire is the Malchut of our ten?

Answer: Yes, it reflects the direct light that comes to it.

Question: In our common desire, do we first feel the light, or do we try to bestow, build an intention and reflected light?

Answer: First, you make a restriction (Tzimtzum) and build a Partzuf of reflected light in the opposite direction, from receiving to bestowal, so that your Malchut becomes like Keter.

Malchut de Or Yashar (direct light) is Keter de Or Hozer (reflected light). And vice versa, in the reflected light, each Sefira located above the Malchut of the reflected light is clothed with properties corresponding to it. In this way, you compare yourself with the Creator.

Question: What does it mean that we rise at least a little above our Malchut in the direction of bestowal?

Answer: To rise means that you are ready to accept all the light that comes to you and forces you to accept it only after you make a restriction (Tzimtzum), a screen (Masach), and a reflected light (Ohr Hozer) on it. Then this light can clothe you and fully reveal itself in you.
