Acquire to Save

938.01Question: To save something, you need to acquire it. Where can I get a great desire to run toward general unification, toward you, and receive everything you want to convey? Where can we get true Hisaron (deficiency) to make His desire ours and accept everything He wants to give us for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: From the Creator, the Creator is the source of everything we need; therefore, with any desire, we must turn to Him and ask.

Question: Do we ask for ourselves, our friends, or the entire world Kli?

Answer: As you wish.

Question: Is it necessary to protect the unification achieved in the ten?

Answer: Certainly, if you always think you want to increase unity, you will definitely not lose it.

Question: Is it possible to influence the Hisaron of the ten?

Answer: You can influence each other with your actions and words.

The Only Program of the Universe

226Question: Adam HaRishon had one program and the Creation had another. Are we starting to follow a third program?

Answer: No, there is only one program called the plan of creation (Machshevet haBriya), and it is constantly working. Depending on what level the souls (desires) are at, more or less broken, this program behaves one way or another. It is just like in a computer, there is nothing complicated here.

Question: Then why do we say that we are returning to the state of Adam? He did not have any egoism, did he?

Answer: There was, but it was hidden, which is why it shattered. Adam had everything. There is nothing new; there is only revealing data.

Question: Will we still have this egoism after the final correction (Gmar Tikun)?

Answer: Billions and billions of times more. Otherwise, how will we achieve a vast corrected state without a huge ego?

Questions about Spiritual Work—158

528.01Question: Is it right to remember good impressions from previous connections in the ten and use them to reveal new connections in a new ten, or should we start from scratch and not take anything from the past?

Answer: You do not need to start from scratch. Start with the good connection you already have with the upper and wish to strengthen it.

Question: You say, “Open your heart.” Who opens the heart first: the person or the Creator?

Answer: The Creator always opens a person’s heart, but this is already a response to a person’s prayer.

Question: Love should come from above when we feel friends closer than ourselves. How can we hasten this?

Answer: Try to relate this way to the Creator.

Question: What comes first: love for the Creator or love for friends? Do we come to love the Creator through the love of friends or vice versa?

Answer: You can do it both ways. Generally, we come to love for the Creator from the love of friends. We still do not know what love is, and we can mistake almost any good feeling for it.

Exalt the Creator

239Question: The nature of egoism contains the spirit of foolishness. Can it be avoided through internal work?

Answer: No, you cannot avoid it. The Creator specifically develops it in order to give you the opportunity to grow more and overcome egoism.

Question: Why does a person lose the importance of what the Creator gives over time? Why does the value of what is received decrease?

Answer: Because a person must constantly exalt the Creator in their eyes. If they forget about it, the Creator immediately falls in their eyes, and they have no one to turn to.

Engage the Creator in a Dialogue

624.07 Wherever I mention My name, meaning that you will give me the possibility to attribute My name to your actions (Rabash, “The Path of Truth“).

Question: How can we incorporate this into our lives so that we always give the Creator this possibility?

Answer: By desiring for the Creator to start working with you, addressing Him from all states, and always trying to engage Him in a dialogue, meaning, attempting to speak with the Creator and waiting for His response.

Question: In what form does a Kabbalist receive the Creator’s answer?

Answer: Most often in the form of what happens to him.

Question: Does it mean that we feel something as a reaction of the Creator in events and sensations?

Answer: Yes, the correct reaction is that we accept everything from the Creator: both good and seemingly bad. We only want to come closer to Him through our appeal to the Creator.

Preparation Is in the Intention

528.01Question: Can we say that our action of bestowal consists of active connection; for example, during a lesson, preparing for a lesson, studying and working in the ten are the desire, the passive vessel for work in active connection, and the work is the request for correction of the vessel, its fulfillment, and transmitting the light to the entire world?

Answer: Yes, this should be our intention. Therefore, before we open the computer and connect with our friends, we need to think about why we are doing this: to be connected together in one single vessel, to direct it to the Creator, and to reveal the Creator within it.

If we direct ourselves toward connection with friends, toward reading articles, and each time overcome various obstacles with an effort, we naturally receive much greater benefit from this.
