Question: What does it mean to be in the properties of bestowal, in the properties of faith based on reason, above reason?

Answer: This means that you do not take into account reason, knowledge, but only faith above reason and act in this property.

You need to clearly understand what your egoism requires of you, limit it, and include only those properties that are higher than the ego.

Question: Does the ten receive faith first and then each receives private faith from it? Or do we add up our private faiths into the ten and get the faith of the ten on a different level?

Answer: We receive a common faith, and we share it among us according to our efforts.

Comment: You say that dissemination depends on our internal unity. In theory, we want to convey some information. We gather together to do this.

My Response: We gather together for dissemination in order to unite and to find between us precisely the properties that connect us: mutual bestowal, mutual support, mutual guarantee, flexibility, connection, common bonding, even love.

We wish to clarify these properties. Why do we need all this? In order to then reveal the same properties in the rest of the world because the rest of the entire world (inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature), the entire mass represents the huge desire that must be completely, organically connected into one whole.

Then in this unified desire that is connected through common efforts, we will feel the property of bestowal and love, which we implement together. And this property of bestowal and love implemented jointly by us is called the Creator.

Question: Based on our discussions, it seems important for us to reveal the Creator because we were chosen for this.

We should simply accept this as a fact and from this state form a prayer. What is special about such a prayer?

Answer: The fact that you want to find contact with the Creator and only through this contact, connection with Him.

Question: If I send a prayer to the Creator every morning after having united the hearts of all my friends by name into one heart, does this prayer have the power of the ten? How strong is this prayer even though I do it alone?

Answer: Ideally you should try to feel the response of the Creator in your common connection in the ten. If you persistently try to do this, you will start to feel it.

Question: When we listen to an article together, it goes through our feelings like music. But when we read it independently, we want to stop. Why?

Answer: Because you lose the support of your friends as you step out of that state.

Therefore, you need to persistently increase the state of unity within the ten.

Question: What is the difference in work in faith above reason during descents and during ascents?

Answer: In descents, I do not have much faith above reason; it is hard for me to fulfill these conditions. That is why this state is called a descent. In an ascent, I am ready to do everything because I have strength, enthusiasm, and joy.

Question: How can we correctly add to the greatness of the Creator, and what is the practice that contributes to the growth of faith?

Answer: We must add the greatness of the Creator correctly in any state. We need to always strive for this.

If you act together with your friends, it increases and strengthens your faith in the Creator.

Question: What does disseminating Kabbalah give a person?

Answer: The real dissemination is attracting souls and desires detached from you to unity and further working with them to achieve unity.

A person disseminates the idea of global unity to those desires that feel as if they were outside of him.

As soon as they begin to perceive it, he engages with them in studying, in unification, and then does everything to come together with them to one whole.

In principle, dissemination itself goes according to the inner desire to unite with everyone. But, beside this, external work is also necessary because you otherwise cannot approach a person at all.

Therefore, you need to give him something external because we live in a corporeal world, that is, in such desires that manifest between us in the form of projections of bodies, objects, books, computers, and so on.

We must use these projections of desires in our imagination, that is, tangible objects and matter. We should use it the way it is perceived by us, although in reality it does not exist; it is simply depicted to us by our desires.

Question: Faith is like another planet. The importance of the Creator and awe of Him are understandable states. But what do we build faith out of? Out of what is close to us: patience, consistency, or something else?

Answer: This question cannot be answered briefly. Chazon Ish writes in the book Faith and Confidence that faith is called the subtle aspiration of the soul.

Question: Can we say that the quality of faith chooses itself when a person is ready and is transmitted to him in full? It is not me who attracts it, but it chooses me?

Answer: Yes, it descends on you. Correct.
