Question: Egoism is growing, and it is acutely felt. It seems that we do not see an opportunity to gain a foothold over it, but on the contrary, everyone is looking for a convenient place to hide from it.

How can we convey to the ten that we do not need comfort, but effort against egoism? It is getting very hard for us.

Answer: It becomes difficult for you because you are not working on connection with each other. But as soon as you reach it, you will immediately feel that your connection can only be based on the fact that everyone sacrifices everything that prevents your unity with your friends and with the Creator.

At the same time, you do not have to feel a lot of despair. Self-sacrifice can be joyful, because you are ready to annul those qualities that do not allow you to reach the Creator.

Moreover, by performing this action, you receive the energy of the light of Hassadim, which gives you strength.

Question: Should a person, as he approaches the Creator, come to the understanding that he would perform the commanded actions even without instructions from above?

Answer: No, without instructions from above one would not have fulfilled the commandments. These instructions prompt a person to take spiritual actions because the commandments are the desires of the Creator, which He commanded to people.

Question: Must a person feel himself what actions are commanded to him?

Answer: No, he gets knowledge about them from the primary sources.

Question: We united and felt how important it was to raise the importance of the Creator and be in unity. But this feeling keeps getting weaker. We are losing what we had gained. How can we strive for more together, not individually?

Answer: Try, but it comes very slowly. The Creator is waiting for you to achieve unity. That is exactly why He takes pleasure in giving you bigger and bigger tasks to unite you in your desire.

Excite the Creator with your prayers so He deals with your questions and does not move away from you.

Question: Each of us, as a particle of one spiritual system, must launch it separately from our perception, right?

Answer: Yes, it is different for everyone. For example, you do not see it yet, but I feel it in a certain form, and some people feel it clearly and explicitly.

Question: How do you run this system?

Answer: This is a sensory system. It is in me, inside. I feel it.

Comment: You once explained one cannot fully influence the entire system.

My Response: I can influence it only to the extent that I think and act kindly, and only at the level I am with my corrected, altruistic, and selfless powers. That is the only way.

Question: We see wars, suffering, and natural disasters worldwide. Is it possible to say that so far humanity has not chosen the path of Achishena (hastening)?

Answer: Yes, humanity has not chosen the path of hastening (Achishena). It should have, but it did not.

It is said, “What the mind does not do, time does.” Therefore, we must continue to try to reveal the Creator, reveal ourselves, and wish for better times.

That is, if there is Hesed in the world, the Shechina is in the world, as well, and vice versa (Rabash, Article No. 4, “Concerning Hesed [Mercy]“).

Question: When there is no mercy in the world, why is there no Shechina?

Answer: If there is no light of Hassadim in the world, then the Shechina cannot come into the world and reveal itself. It is waiting for the light of Hassadim, the property of Hesed (mercy), to appear in the created beings.

Question: Can we attract the light of Hassadim in the ten?

Answer: Yes, in the ten we can cause the revelation of the Shechina by uniting and mutually aspiring for each other—friend to friend.

Question: What are the sensations I feel in the ten: love, inspiration, and fluttering of the heart?

Answer: This is what the Creator sends to you. So, in any case, thank Him and reciprocate these feelings.

Question: Fear and awe come from the greatness of the Creator and the greatness of the friends.
Do these two properties help us reach the middle line?

Answer: Fear and awe coexist in such a way that they create the right attitude toward others in us that will be the middle line where you can bestow to the Creator.

Question: In physical actions it is obvious when the repetition of a transgression becomes permissible. For example, I did not turn off my camera before, but now I do, or I did not arrive late to meetings before, but now I do. The same tendency can develop in a friend. How should a ten handle these states? Is this a common scrutiny within the ten?

Answer: Yes, it is a common scrutiny. Everyone who comes to the lesson should care about those who have not come yet. This is very important!

Every person who is late is responsible, in principle, not for themselves, but for those friends who for some reason forgot about them or did not bring them along.
