Question: Is it correct to use physical examples to aid in developing a spiritual community?

Answer: We should take examples only from the books of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and use them to evaluate every action.

Question: What seems beautiful to us is not always true; we can be influenced by trends or education. What is a “true” spiritual work?

Answer: True spiritual work is when I connect with my ten, hold them together through my efforts, and attract them to come closer to the Creator.

Question: Rabash writes that only the person himself must believe in the immense importance of being worthy of the king’s presence. What does this action “must believe” mean?

Answer: A person must believe that the upper force is guiding him toward the spiritual goal.

Question: Does our soul already know the truth? How can we make a “true” choice through the soul, even in worldly matters?

Answer: You do not know this yet, but ultimately, we will come to this, and you will receive notification of the truth from there.

Question: How can we keep ourselves above egoism if two friends are making remarks to each other in front of the entire group about how each should change?

Answer: You should talk first with one, then with the other. Ideally, the entire group should take it upon themselves to embrace them with warmth.

Question: The value of corporeal things depends on advertising. There is a prohibition against sharing one’s spiritual states and experiences in spirituality. How can we correctly advertise spirituality to friends?

Answer: We need to support friends who yearn to come closer to the Creator and then gradually we will come to feel what the Creator feels. By striving to be closer to Him, we will begin to see the world as the Creator does.

Question: So I say that a particular friend in the group is probably close to the Creator; therefore I envy him. Is that right?

Answer: Suppose you think so and are confident about it. You must be responsible for your words, especially when you speak about someone else.

Question: Then how do I advertise spirituality correctly?

Answer: You do not need to advertise it.

Question: I cannot speak about myself, but I can about a friend. How can I be sure that he is close to the Creator? Today he is close and tomorrow, God forbid, he might show a different side.

Answer: That is why you should not advertise. If a person constantly strives for the truth and desires to move toward it with friends from within their connection, this gives us confidence that he is on the right path toward the right goal.

Question: We learn that the Creator brings us out of a state of merging with Him by exposing a new layer of evil. What kind of situation is it when the person has to look where to make efforts in a state of merging with Him?

Answer: A person must look for where he can add more effort for connection with the Creator to manifest there.

Question: The state of merging with the Creator has several stages. There is my merging with the Creator and then the merging of all humanity with Him. Is that why additional effort is required?

Answer: Not only that, even your merging with the Creator divides into many stages.

Question: What if what seemed like effort now seems like a mistake? How do I return to these states?

Answer: Continue to work on correction.

Question: If you cannot talk about your sensations and feelings in the ten, what should you talk about?

Answer: It is not customary to talk about personal internal feelings in the ten since you can harm yourself and your friends by doing this.

What do we usually talk about? About the greatness of the group, the greatness of the Creator, and what we should strive for, not me personally but all of us together.

You cannot talk about what you are experiencing, how you feel, your emotions, and personal aspirations.
Basically we discuss what is written in the articles.

Question: During workshops, there is warmth and good connection between us. Is there any spirituality in this or is it egoism?

Answer: We should feel the warmth coming from our friends because we are in such a close-knit society. This is very good.

Anyone who does not feel this should work on feeling this. Everyone should suffer with their friends, worry with them, and rejoice with them, we should be working in unison and harmony.

Question: If a lie is wrapped in sweetness and truth in bitterness, why can’t we advance based on these feelings?

Answer: How will you advance? What will pull you forward? You cannot move toward bitterness with your own properties and feelings.

Question: But I cannot move toward sweetness either. Does this mean that through feelings we cannot accurately distinguish truth from lie?

Answer: Yes we can. If you feel that truth is sweet, then you can move toward it. But nothing will help you move toward truth if it is bitter, you will not be able to advance.

Question: Why is it so difficult for us to support each other?

Answer: We do not feel connected to each other. Kabbalah explains that we are interconnected, integral, and in the same system.

Look at the ways in which all misfortunes that befall humanity teach us about integral interconnectedness.

What are people missing today? We have science, technology, everything you could want. The only thing we lack is a good connection between ourselves. It is so obvious! After all, if you look at humanity, what are people occupied with? They have everything except the awareness of how to make their lives normal. Yes, it is just to suffer less, not to mention that we can achieve anything!

The same applies to us in our tens. But why? We know what needs to be done to be correctly interconnected so that I can reveal the upper world in the ten so that my ten transforms into ten Sefirot and I begin to attain all 125 degrees within it.

To leave this world like that, to ascend to any degree as on a spaceship and simply look at this nature as nothing, why don’t we do it? It seems that we have everything, we know everything, we understand everything, there is a place, there is time, there is strength, there is everything.

Question: All day I have been intensely working on the thought of how to ask for my friends in order to bring them closer to the state of Ibur (conception). How can I exert more effort in order to create a real state of attack to reach this level?

Answer: I see no other way than to act on my own, to ask for myself, and to ask for others so that we can all annul ourselves and become one common spiritual body that only thinks about annulling its egoism at the very first stage.

To annul oneself means to fully integrate into each other, to think only about others and not about oneself. In this way, we perform the most productive spiritual action that we are capable of today.

And further, based on the fact that we will go “out of ourselves” and as if entering others, a completely new state will arise—altruistic egoism, which we will apply for the sake of others, not for ourselves. This is what we need to do.

But right now, we really need an attack on our egoistic thoughts and calculations so that all of them are only for the purpose of getting included in others and working as if in the body of our friends, helping them. Therefore, it is said: “Let each one help his friend.” After all, each one cannot ask and pray for himself; only for others.

Question: When we turn to the Creator for our friends, how do we annul our own participation in this?

Answer: When I ask for my friends, I try to make it so that I do not think about myself, as if I do not exist, but only they do. And where is my personal involvement? My personal involvement is only in that I ask for them, that I extend my request on their behalf, but no more than that.
