Question: Does spiritual advancement come from internal work not only in the ten, but also in the group?

Answer: Of course it does. Each person, as they say, is like a small penny that joins with others to form a great amount. Therefore, nothing should be neglected.

Question: Where do we find the willpower to attend the meetings of the ten and the lessons?

Answer: You do not need to find it anywhere. You should make a deal with your friends to lift you up, take you by the hand, and bring you to the meeting place.

Question: More than six months ago, there was a virtual connection between the women’s tens of Sochi and Germany. Both had a long experience of physical meetings and physical connections. How can we now establish such a close connection without the possibility of physical meetings? Can we add concern for the corporeal affairs of friends to the virtual connection?

Answer: No, one cannot replace the other. It cannot.

Question: How do we in the ten enter the singular authority?

Answer: Only through the desire to unite and become one desire inside the Creator.

Question: How should I work with inactive friends in the ten?

Answer: Set an example for them, talk to them.

Question: You say everything depends on us. Where is the point we can press that will make it work?

Answer: The point to press is the point of realizing that we have no other way out.

We are at a turning point in the world. The world has exhausted its egoistic paradigm of existence and reached its final state. It cannot continue to exist this way.

Therefore, we are in a general crisis of all our behavior in the world. This is specifically a crisis of human relationships, between us and between us and nature. We must change this. How? By becoming an integral part of nature, which we are but we do not wish to acknowledge.

Nature forces us, one way or another, to recognize this fact and change ourselves to become integrally connected with each other and with nature so that the entire universe becomes integrated, closed, harmonious, and unified, and for that, we need to rise above our egoism.

In Kabbalah, there is a force that can correct us and transform us from egoists into altruists so that we are harmoniously connected into one single whole.

We, the people who have a point in the heart, a desire for unity, must first reveal this method within ourselves. Furthermore, the people of Israel, who were once in a spiritual state, must do this because they have spiritual genes. They are obligated to revive and realize them.

When we do this, we will lead the rest of the world. This can be done very quickly, in a very short time!

We do not have to wait until humanity plunges into immense suffering, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, and who knows what else.

Question: It is said that a person must use his strength to make a choice, after which the Creator gives him everything that was in the Creator’s plan.

What is this human strength, and what kind of choice does one make?

Answer: The Creator gives man an anti-egoistic force with which he rises, becomes closer to the Creator, even reaches adhesion with Him, and thus masters this degree the Creator turned to him with.

Then the Creator gives him another task, an even greater degree. Again, one must turn to the Creator, ask Him for the desire to bestow, and with the help of this desire, rise to the next stage where he will balance a new manifestation of the Creator.

It turns out that the Creator is constantly developing egoism in us, gradually, step by step, and we ask Him for strength so the new egoistic desires that arise in us do not confuse us, do not throw us from side to side, but allow us to advance. This way every desire given to us is to let us get closer to the Creator.

Question: How can one be satisfied with bestowal if the desire to receive requires fulfillment and prevents one from being in an intention for the sake of the Creator? How should we treat the fulfillment of desires to receive?

Answer: Treat it positively. Increasing the desire to receive is also good because you will build your desire to bestow on it.

Question: What if the desires to receive displace the desires to bestow?

Answer: It will pass. Overcome such periods. They come in waves: a wave of ascent, a wave of descent, a wave of ascent, a wave of descent. Therefore, try to bear them calmly because you are in the power of the Creator. Good luck.

Question: How can we promote knowledge about the Creator to the masses?

Answer: By disseminating information that there is a place where people study how to reveal the Creator.

Question: What is this strong group that promotes knowledge about the Creator and in what should its flexibility be manifested?

Answer: A strong group is a group that studies and works in dissemination. Its flexibility is manifested in its readiness to work with any member of the group and to adapt to them.

Question: How can we receive a reward in the Kelim of bestowal? Let us say the pleasure of minimal unification is also a reward. Can we receive it in the Kelim of bestowal?

Answer: Yes, but we want to be rewarded for every action we take. If this is an act of bestowal, if we rise through it and can influence others and the Creator even more, this is the reward.

Question: How can we relate correctly to the fact that some put in a lot of effort that causes admiration, while others, as it seems to us, put in much less?

Answer: We cannot say exactly how much effort a person puts in. But we must respect anyone who does so.

Question: Some of your students transmit spiritual information, while disseminating, without realizing it themselves. How can you recognize within yourself whether you are doing it correctly or not?

Answer: It does not matter. Let everyone try to disseminate, it does not matter with what motives. Even the most negative, the most foolish, and the most conceited, those who seek power, fame, money—let them try! This leads to a quick analysis.

When everything is revealed, it immediately becomes clear where evil stands in comparison to good. Conversely, it is worse when it is hidden. If the time for disclosure has come, let everything be disclosed.

For example, if you are a doctor and you advertise yourself, it is quickly possible to determine whether you are a good doctor or a bad one. If you do not advertise yourself, you can work with patients all your life quietly at some level, and that is it. But as soon as you reveal yourself more, there is a danger that you will be figured out and no one will come to you at all.

That is why I am in favor of everything being revealed as much as possible. All opinions, knowledge, and judgments about Kabbalah, all its followers, and conversely, all sorts of “anti”—let everything be revealed. And then, there will be a very quick analysis and correct conclusions.

People do not know what it is. They do not understand that now the real nature of the world is opening up to them, which helps them change, become normal, happy, and to navigate our world correctly and build the correct society.

Question: When I think about my friends or we think about something together, how do we build our artificial actions correctly?

Answer: Our artificial, even semi-false actions eventually add up to one serious request, a demand that the light really change us.

But this happens only if we insert ourselves into its device, into its matrix, even if we do not want to but still trying to make it work, together, although in fact we are not together with our hearts yet, studying Kabbalah, although we do not know what we are studying and what we need from it. We sort of hide these unspoken conditions from ourselves and lie to ourselves.

But it does not matter. As a result, everything develops into conditions that are required for the system to start acting on us like on small children. This is the same system, the same technique by which babies develop.

As a child, they explained to us: “Look, this is this and this is that. This is added. This is subtracted.” That is, we are already beginning to perceive reality with our minds and feelings.

When I show my mind and feelings for our world, it is considered that I am already a small person. And then I can start accumulating information, adding it up, synthesizing it, analyzing it, but only from the moment when I am already a human being, let’s say from the age of five to six.

And before that, I am developing completely unconsciously. I look at adults and do the same thing, repeat what they say, do what they advise. We are also acting in relation to the spiritual world in the same way.
