Question: How can we become united, like a single whole? After all, we have different qualities and different perceptions. How can we overcome this and become homogeneous?

Answer: We have to understand that all our contradictory, opposite qualities, thoughts, and feelings are given to us only so that in unification we achieve such a common state that would be able to contain the entire spiritual system.

Therefore we should not dwell on this, but simply move forward. One who is walking will master the road.

Question: You said that we need to question our feelings, our perception, and to enter the ten. Does this mean that we should subject our perception to the criticism of the group?

Answer: I think this is necessary.

Question: In such moments, I feel the urge to escape from the unbearable state. There is no sense that the group is helping. What should I hold onto to not run away?

Answer: Hold onto your friends.

Question: Is this the process of the recognition of evil?

Answer: The recognition of evil happens gradually.

Question: What is needed for this to become a correction?

Answer: The desire.

Question: What is your request to us in order to see us as your students?

Question: Is there room for mistakes in each person’s spiritual work in the ten that could negatively affect others? Or are all mistakes also a part of correction?

Answer: They are a part of correction, but mistakes do happen.

Question: Can they affect the work of the entire ten?

Answer: Even more than just the ten.

Question: How can we avoid making mistakes?

Answer: You should be afraid of distancing yourself from your friends. The closer you are to each other, the fewer chances you have to make a mistake.

For every member of the ten to take their proper place, the ten must be ready to go through all the stages of correction. It is not that difficult. But the friends need to know this and be prepared for it.

Question: Each Kabbalist acts in his generation according to the power of the light. Is the light getting stronger, and what can we do to increase it?

Answer: Day by day we must test ourselves to what extent we can carry out what the Kabbalists said, each person at his level and degree, based on his reasons, each tries to do what they said.

Then we will feel we are climbing the steps of the spiritual ladder and so are ascending to the highest state.

All Kabbalists who attained the upper world, the Creator, can explain our path to the Creator to us, and can explain how we are interconnected with each other and with them. After all, altogether we represent one unified system in which everyone helps another attain the Creator, connect with Him, and pass this connection over to others.

We must try to learn from our teachers to pass on our methodology.

Question: Let’s say I am in bestowal, seemingly without any calculation, above knowledge. But at the same time, there is a calculation of “what’s mine is mine,” and “what’s yours is yours.” How do we transition from this to “what is yours is yours” and “what is mine is yours?” How does it fit together?

Answer: “What’s mine is yours” and “what’s yours is yours” is complete bestowal, the highest attitude one person has toward another. “What’s mine is mine” and “what’s yours is yours” is complete reception. Between them, there is “what’s mine is mine” and “what’s yours is mine”—this is sheer egoism.

How can I connect these states? Everything that I can give, I give. I also receive everything I can receive for the sake of another because, in this case, my receiving is like giving. It turns out that I give everything I can, and everything I receive is also equivalent to giving. That is how we act.

If all our thoughts are only for the sake of giving, then we are completely righteous. If we want everything for ourselves, then we are absolute villains, sinners. This is where the dilemma arises, how do we divide our states into sinful and righteous ones.

Therefore, Kabbalists advise us to divide our desires into giving and receiving. Those who work for the sake of bestowal will be called righteous, and those who work for the sake of receiving will be called sinners.

Question: The more we study, the bigger our ego becomes. Should we have control over the ego and recognition of it?

Answer: No, we don’t have control over the ego, but we can have recognition of it.

What should we do? Keep moving forward, always asking the Creator for unity and connection with our friends. In this way, through our unity, we will reveal our collective ego and finally ask the Creator correctly to correct it.

Question: How can we avoid fearing the loss of what we already have? By understanding the voice of egoism, how can we still serve the Creator?

Answer: You should tell everything to the Creator, and then you will receive answers from Him. Based on these answers, you will gradually change, and everything will fall into place.

Question: So, should we hold on to the Creator and try to detach from egoism?

Answer: You can try to detach on your own, but it won’t really help. The Creator does this as well. The most important thing is to annul yourself before the Creator. And to annul yourself before Him, you must first annul yourself before your friends. Then everything will work out.

When you ask the Creator to connect you, to the extent He does so, you will feel how close you are to each other, and this is how you will move forward.

Question: At a convention, we will not always have the technical ability to be with our ten. It feels like we have to maintain an internal connection. How can we internally maintain this point of unity?

Answer: I do not think that we will always gather in the form we are doing today.

After all, you will not gather the ten that you will gather at the convention today every time, because next time others will come, and then others. Therefore we need to do something so that all this does not fall apart. I do not know how much it helps that we hold conventions. Maybe it does the opposite.

The thing is that people are used to working in their place, from their city, from their country. And here, everyone is mixing. Once upon a time, many years ago, this was good. And now we need to think carefully about what to do with conventions in the future.

Question: We are now virtually connected with our ten. What am I adding to the fact that now, while here, I want the friends in my ten to advance toward the Creator?

Answer: You transmit all this through your internal connection between hearts.

Question: Is the goal of the convention to reveal Malchut in our unity?

Answer: Yes, this will give us the beginning of the revelation of the common Kli. It does not matter what the action is: reception for the sake of bestowal or bestowal for the sake of bestowal. In both cases, we work with the full Malchut but at different levels of intensity.

Question: How can we perceive the convention as a positive blow, so that we can accept the Creator’s control for life, and not just for the duration of the convention?

Answer: It all depends on our attitude to it. On the eve of the convention, I must feel myself standing before the most important task in my life, and now my fate is being decided, when I can rise to the upper degree of the spiritual ladder, or I can remain as I am now, or even fall somewhere. This is before us today. Choose!

Question: How exactly can we concentrate, not spread out, and be sure that we can consolidate and prepare ourselves?

Answer: If you begin to gather together as if in a spiritual space, then you will feel a huge common Kli where you are close and understand each other, and the Creator reacts to this in a very serious way.

Question: You said that a person cannot advance without blows, but one can prepare himself so as not to feel the states he goes through as blows. Now, on the eve of the convention, are we not expecting blows?

Answer: No, you must be prepared for blows in order to move forward. The only difference is how you expect it, and in accordance with your desire you will feel it as support, a push forward. But if it is against your desire, then you will feel it as an obstacle.

Question: What can that blow give us at the convention that will allow us to accept something new for ourselves as the control of the Creator?

Answer: If we feel ourselves connected together into one whole, then our common desire will push us out of egoism, and we will rise to the next degree.
