Question: On one hand we need to raise the prayer of many, which should be not a sum, but an integral. On the other hand each of us must be in constant dialogue with the Creator. How do these two things correlate?

Answer: We must combine all our requests and efforts so that we can express them collectively to the Creator. Then we can hope that He will react. If we have what is called “one man with one heart,” if we gather in such a structure, then we will deserve His answer.

Only in great desire, yearning, and longing when we are directed to the Creator can we reach some kind of response and reaction from Him.

We must still form our desire in such a way that it is as internal, soulful, and spiritual as possible, and then we will receive an answer. The Creator requires us to be as pure as possible with Him. As pure as possible!

Question: How do you pray for your friends if you clearly feel that there is no one else but the Creator?

Answer: If you feel that there is none else but the Creator, then everything is fine. Perfect! So, this correction has already been passed through you. I congratulate you! This is already a big step.

But then all the friends must be included in the Creator. You must relate to them as you would to the Creator.

Think about the fact that the attitude toward your friends and toward the Creator should be completely identical for you. Check yourself and realize that you are not yet at all at the level where the Creator and your friends are the same for you. We need to move forward.

Question: How can we strengthen the mutual guarantee in a small ten if we are hardly meeting twice a day?

Answer: We must constantly think about how we can express mutual support to each other during, say, half an hour when we get together. It is not just mutual support.

Arvut (mutual guarantee) means that we, as it were, replace the person himself and guarantee for him, as in a bank, when we sign a document of guarantee that we undertake to pay for him.

The same is true in spirituality. I pay for my friend with my efforts. I am ready to give everything to him so that from what I give him, he could receive spiritual fulfillment. So it is with each of us.

No one receives anything spiritual in his own desire! Never! Only when it is canceled before the group, and the group gives him its guarantee, that is, its signature, its Kli (vessel), then in this Kli he can receive a spiritual sensation.

Only this way! Otherwise, how can a person have the opportunity to receive something spiritual that consists of many opposite properties?

Only when he renounces himself, when he is ready to give everything to his friend, and the friend to him, then in this mutual exchange of guarantees, they create the necessary conditions for the revelation of the Creator in each other. This is the only way that it works. All of humanity, absolutely all the people, will have to come to this.

Rather, it is one’s friend who can lift his spirit through faith above reason. This means that one’s friend raises him from his state into a state of liveliness. Then, one begins to reacquire strength and confidence of life and wealth, and he begins as though his goal is now near him (Rabash, “They Helped Every One His Friend”).

We need to lead each other in such a way that everyone feels uplifted and that the strength, confidence, and approach to the goal can be obtained from our mutual connection.

I begin to feel that my friends are taking care of me, and this creates very interesting sensations in me. On one hand, I am pleased, on the other hand, it makes me anxious and obliges me.

When I feel this attitude of my friends, I can no longer take care of myself. But, on the other hand, how can I, based on this, do the same with respect to them? This is where mutual action begins, when everyone wants to be a guarantor, help each other and be with each other.

If we build our relationships in this way, then we will quickly have a spiritual Kli, and the Creator will begin to reveal Himself in it. Because the inclusion of everyone in everyone in a small group, even in the ten, even less than ten, is enough to reveal the Creator.

This task is now before us. Unity, mutual guarantee, mutual penetration, and complementation of each other should give us the inclusion of ten Sefirot in ten, ten, and ten. As a result, a “field blessed by the Creator,” divinity, is formed. It is in this field that the Creator is revealed.

The prayer must be a complete prayer, from the bottom of the heart. This means that one knows one hundred percent that there is no one in the world who can help him but the Creator Himself. (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 5, “Lishma Is an Awakening from Above, and Why Do We Need an Awakening from Below?”)

Prayer is considered real if it reaches the Creator. And it can reach Him only if the prayer comes from the depths of a person’s heart, from his most important inner desire, when he is one hundred percent sure that he can achieve what he wants only if the Creator helps him by practically doing all of it for him.

But there is one small “but” here and it is very important! The Creator responds only to a collective request.

You can shout to Him as much as you want, He will not be able to answer you. Because you have to go to Him through a common Kli (vessel)! Just as you were born and fell from the height of your spiritual level to the material one, egoistically breaking away from everyone, so now you must anti-egoistically rise again to the same place, to Him.

Therefore, the request must be collective. In no case will it help you to sit, cry, sob, and beg. It won’t do anything! Only if there are at least two people who, despite their egoism, somehow connect with each other to raise their request to the Creator, in this form it will help.

Question: Although I do not feel I am able to sincerely ask for the friends because I only think of myself, I try to do what you teach us mechanically. Do we bring contentment to the Creator in this way?

Answer: Yes. It does not matter what level we are at, even if we try to bring contentment to the Creator at the smallest level, it is precisely because we are small that we please Him. like a baby who smiles at his mother and she is already overwhelmed with what she has received from him.

Therefore, our level does not mean anything. On the contrary: when we are small and beginners, we can bring great pleasure to the Creator by our small annulments. And when we become big, then it is much more difficult.

Question: We see that interest in the science of Kabbalah is awakening and expanding all over the world. How do you see the year 2022 and its impact on dissemination? What can serve as a spiritual environment for millions of people who are beginning to awaken?

Answer: I know that you want to create a special Internet channel “Kabbalah TV.” I would like it to air in all languages and become a serious environment for all the nations of the world.

I very much welcome this and hope that all our friends will take part in creating this channel since the next stage of our advancement includes working with broader masses.

Do you see what is happening in the world? The world needs an explanation of where we are going. And we have to provide this explanation. In fact, dissemination goes along with the creation of such channels of communication with all of mankind.

Each of us can take part in this. Not just to make a donation, but to make a feasible contribution to developing the channel technically, creating content, etc.

There are many people among you, living on different continents, and speaking all languages who can do this. Then we can actually reach every person in the world and explain what the world needs today, otherwise they will plunge into ever greater darkness.

It all depends on us. We will support the creation of a global Internet channel in all languages that can become the right environment, a group for all nations of the world. I am very glad that you have taken up this task. Thank you very much.

Question: Can we change the form of mutual guarantee in order to get a better feel of the ten?

Answer: As you advance, you will be feeling the ten more and more. Keep advancing and then you will solve everything.

Question: Are there such categories as quality and quantity in the concept of mutual guarantee? How does a qualitative guarantee differ from a quantitative one?

Answer: You should see this in yourself.

Question: What does the complete guarantee look like?

Answer: It is a complete correction when everything I have I transfer only to bestowing for people, for society.

Question: How can I bind myself with the bonds of unquestioning guarantee in spite of all the disturbances?

Answer: You just make efforts. I cannot say anything here. We just have to work in this direction.

Question: What is the correct way to pray for friends? Can it harm a friend when we ask for a solution to the problems of the corporeal world?

Answer: No. Corporeal problems of my friends are my spiritual problems.

Question: If one of the friends in the ten is not in mutual guarantee and most of the friends see it the same way, is this a consequence of our egoistic perception or is it really so?

Answer: It does not matter. We just need to continue to act patiently and wait until our actions affect this friend.

Question: It always seems that I can do more for the group. But as soon as I do this, my corporeal life begins to crumble. What should I do? How can I increase efforts in mutual guarantee?

Answer: We must try to make sure that corporeality and spirituality do not particularly come into contact with each other. Then you will succeed.

Question: How much can we worry about the quality of reception when we are in the quality of bestowal?

Answer: There is no need to worry about the quality of reception. You should care only about the quality of bestowal, about the connection between you. Reception in the required form and amount will be revealed between you anyway.

Question: What is the highest degree above us that we can rise to now?

Answer: I cannot tell you that, it is up to you. But, in principle, this is unlimited.

Question: Is it possible to achieve in the ten an equal attitude of each friend to work?

Answer: It is impossible to achieve an equal attitude. Everyone has their own initial conditions in the group, in the work, psychological and corporeal ones. In no way can we treat people equally! We just need to understand that everyone is in their own state.

Question: Why is all the rest of nature, inanimate, vegetative, and animate, not created in evil? These levels of desire should not resist evil, but a person should.

Answer: These levels are included in the person. We consist of all four levels of nature, and when we correct the highest level (human) in ourselves, then all other levels get connected to it and participate with it.

Question: What is mutual incorporation? What do I incorporate in me?

Answer: When we want to be with the same intention, then, as a result of turning to the upper light, it influences us and mutual incorporation of Sefirot into Sefirot, Partzufim into Partzufim takes place. Thus, we begin to really connect on the spiritual level.

Question: How does one measure the force of connection?

Answer: We do not yet know how to measure the force of connection because it will be revealed only as a result of attaining spiritual degrees.

Question: What kind of desire can I fill society with?

Answer: With the desire to come closer to each other so that the quality called t he Creator begins to be revealed between us.

Question: Is it possible to reach love for others only by using the power of prayer?

Answer: Only by aiming for the connection between us. From this connection we raise a request to the Creator, that is, to the common quality of bestowal, love, and connection, which originally created everyone.

Question: Do we have to sacrifice all our desires in order to reach the correct form of connection?

Answer: We must act as much as we can for the quality of bestowal, the quality of connection between us. That is all!

Question: Why does it happen that friends become better, more directed to the goal, and I become worse and more distant from yearning for the Creator?

Answer: Well, this is wonderful! If you can appreciate them better, it means that you are rising. Conversely, if you can evaluate yourself as worse, you also rise. Perfect! Congratulations!

Question: If we have risen above some contradictions in the ten, have we already corrected some connection between us?

Answer: Of course.

Question: We are at the great Kabbalistic convention. How can we really go through every lesson, every question, every answer, and not just sit on a chair for three hours?

Answer: To sit on a chair for three hours is also good, on the one hand. But, on the other hand, the more we get incorporated in each other, feel every question, try to answer it, and try to incorporate into our friends, then, of course, to this extent we participate in the convention. Participation depends on adhesion, connection, empathy, mutual assistance, and incorporation into each other.

Question: During the congress, there were 10 to 11 people in the ten all the time. What can I do to support my friends so that we constantly have the same number of people at daily Kabbalah lessons?

Answer: Pray. Pray for your friends so that the Creator will give them the desire to systematically attend the morning lesson.

Of course, it means a great deal to be in the daily lesson. I cannot imagine how a person can advance without attending it. There is only one condition that frees him from this: if he is in captivity, that is, he has to work at this time or do something special that he cannot do at other times. But not in any other case.

The morning lesson [in Israel] is very important, especially when a person makes a special effort to attend it. It is these efforts that will advance him.
