Question: If, in working with friends, my truth differs from the truth of my friend, should I replace my truth with the truth of my friend or combine them into a single whole?

Answer: You must clarify these issues among yourself, sharpen your actions, knowledge, and thoughts so that they come closer to each other, and then you will see what you should do with them next.

Therefore, you should always check your friend’s knowledge and actions.

Question: When we justify our friend and agree on everything with the Creator, is this coming to the truth?

Answer: This is a step forward toward the truth. You must do it every minute.

At congresses, we get together with all our might and renew our spiritual movement toward each other. We try to find out how we can get closer, feel another, completely incomprehensible, unknown person, and establish a contact with him that will be influenced by the upper force.

We can achieve much more at a congress than in my regular ten. I can be very connected to my own ten, but when I join a random ten, we have no past. I sit with people I have never worked with spiritually. That makes it easier for me.

I can wholeheartedly open myself to connection with them without any past superficial impressions. We must try to do this. In spiritual things this is how it should be, and even with your old ten, you can be completely open.

In such cases, it is our egoism that allows us to be more open and closer to each other. I will not have that ten tomorrow, nor did I have it yesterday, so I am in such an open state with them.

Think about it. Overall there are many opportunities at congresses. You can do it if you look for ways to feel your soul merge with a random ten.

If you have no complaints about them, no memories, no promises for the future, this is what always happens in spirituality. Every minute in spirituality you are in a completely new state. Every person is new at every moment. So you owe absolutely nothing to anyone except instant unification with each other and the Creator.

Question: When I become a conduit between the Creator and creation, what do I receive from the Creator and what do I pass on to others?

Answer: From the Creator, you receive fulfillment and pass it on to others. Fulfillment is the fulfillment of the desires of others to the extent they wish to be interconnected.

In Kabbalah, we speak only of fulfilling desires to bestow, where you want to bestow to another and in doing so, you are fulfilled. That makes you similar to the Creator.

You therefore see that all of Israel are responsible for one another, both on the positive side and on the negative side. On the positive side, if they keep the Arvut to the point that each one cares and satisfies the needs of his friends, they can fully observe the Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], meaning to bring contentment to their Maker (Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]”).

The law of complete interconnection in the integral system obliges us to receive from everyone and to bestow to everyone. Integral dependence on both reception and bestowal applies to each of us. We evoke the Creator’s pleasure with these actions, which we feel in the light He immediately fills us with.

Question: What does bestowing to friends mean?

Answer: Bestowal is helping friends to support them within the ten in an integral connection with everyone. I must take care of this, embrace them like the mother of small children, and hold them together so that in any condition they connect.

Question: How do I know that I am fulfilling the desire of the Creator and not the fantasies of my egoism?

Answer: To do this, first of all, you must fulfill not your desires, but the desires of others. Secondly, you must only do what a friend needs to support him in the group. That is all.

Question: Can we bring contentment to the Creator through intention alone or through actions?

Answer: Only through intention. Actions do not matter. They can be actions of receiving or bestowing. The main thing is the intention.

Question: How can I understand if my inner work is on the right track?

Answer: Your inner work is on the right track if you constantly feel the Creator and through Him the whole world.

Question: When we work with the sources, we increase concentration on intention, but do not allow the light to enter us. We need to strengthen our intention to learn to control this process. What determines when I will feel this? Is it purity or the efforts themselves?

Answer: It depends on the purity of efforts.

Question: Can we strive to identify whether the Creator receives contentment from our actions?

Answer: We can determine this. Gradually, we will master it.

Question: What else can be included in the daily work in the ten besides connection, intention, and desire? How can we reveal the inner vision of the ten?

Answer: Simply talk about this topic among yourselves, gradually reveal yourselves and your friends within your circle. In this way you will reach a state where everything becomes clear to you.

Question: When you strive to awaken the ten and clarify the intention behind your actions, you often see that there is no intention for the sake of bestowal. Then you reach a dead end and have no strength to continue. Where can you find the strength to awaken the ten from truth and not from falsehood?

Answer: Think about what you need to do. Constantly practice actions for the sake of your friends, and ask the Creator for them.

This is called “habit becomes second nature.” Then you will be able to be closer to them in this way.

Question: At night, the preparation of the vessels for the day occurs. What is the proper preparation for them to resemble the light?

Answer: To resemble the light we must study and accept it as if it always shines both at night and during the day.

Question: If a person did not complete their work on the previous degree, how can they achieve a state of faith above reason where they have a clear feeling and understanding that the Creator governs creation as good that does good during the current night?

Answer: A person prays, asks, and receives strength, knowledge, and the sensation that the Creator shines for him.

Question: We perform external actions: study, work in a group of ten, disseminate, and this can be done out of habit and even increased. But what does the inner, constantly increasing tuning to the Creator consist of?

Answer: Inner attunement to the Creator is aimed at bringing Him contentment. What is bringing Him contentment? Try to find out and do that.

Question: How is the intensity of love for the Creator measured and how can it be increased?

Answer: The intensity of the love for the Creator is measured by the number of attempts to draw closer to the Creator and by the quantity and quality of giving to Him. As a result, a person begins to truly give to the Creator. The proof of your giving and love for Him is that you constantly think about Him, do not forget, do not distance yourself, and do not hide from Him, but always maintain a connection with Him.
