Question: Does the feeling of shame in knowledge somehow contribute to our ascent in faith above reason?

Answer: Possibly yes. But this will not manifest now, but on the next, higher stages. We will feel shame for our desire, our states.

Question: And in this way, we will rise in faith above reason? Or do we still need some other parameters?

Answer: There is still much more that we need. So simply continue studying.

Question: Is the root of corruption the very desire to receive itself or my dependence on the desire to receive, that is, the conscious or unconscious execution of its orders?

Answer: No, the desire to receive itself is the foundation for all the Klipot, for all the wrong actions and intentions.

Question: It is said that the Klipot create concealment. Does this mean they necessary after all?

Answer: Of course they are necessary. They show us in which cases our desires, intentions, and actions are incorrect. Therefore, without Klipot, we cannot move forward.

For every action of the light, there is an action of the Klipot.

Question: There is the concept “there is none else besides Him” and the concept “shame of the receiver.” How closely are they interconnected?

Answer: The desire to receive and the desire to bestow are very closely interconnected with each other and manifest in a person depending on one’s choice, on what one wishes to receive, in how one wants to feel oneself and the entire universe.

Then we will experience firsthand how this changes.

Question: What does it mean to reveal the sinner within yourself during the lesson, and what should one do with this?

Answer: In the process of studying, we begin to separate thoughts and actions into positive or negative, that is, to clarify what in us is positive or negative in our actions, in our intentions. In this way, we will move forward.

Question: Should I be searching for the sinner within myself right now?

Answer: You won’t be able to find either a sinner or a righteous one within yourself. For that, you must delve deeper and deeper into the study. And then you will feel from the material being studied itself whether it relates to a positive or a negative form.

Question: How can one strive to study TES (Talmud Eser Sefirot, The Study of the Ten Sefirot) not for the sake of receiving, but for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: Think about this all the time. I have no other advice right now.

Question: To whom is TES revealed? To one who thinks about this or to one who is patient? What is the main quality needed for the Creator to be revealed?

Answer: The main thing is to be similar to the Creator.

Question: We study that in the branch everything that exists in the root is pleasant. It follows that when we go through the path of correction, we calibrate everything that belongs to our root. But then where do desires and pleasures that are not inherent to the root come from? After all, they do exist.

Answer: And there will be even more. But we must agree with this, check and you will see that they do not appear out of nowhere.

Gradually we will come to know them, become acquainted with them, and feel how it is possible to correct them.

Question: Does shame follow fear?

Answer: The development of shame leads us to the feeling that we are different from the Creator.

Question: Is the right work that we have to reveal a multitude of our thoughts within the thought “One, Single, Unified,” in order to bring them all back to it, or should we come from the multitude of thoughts to one thought?

Answer: Right now, it doesn’t matter. Either this way or that way. In any case, we are moving toward something unified, where the Creator and His attitude toward all of creation is revealed to us.

Question: Is shame a method that I use or does it turn into a Kli for receiving the light?

Answer: It is a Kli for receiving the light.

Question: What is this part of the Creator, “the soul in a person that has separated from the Creator”?

Answer: It is the light of the Creator that the created being receives within its desire to enjoy. Through this the created being becomes completely separated from the Creator and feels this separation.

Question: It is said that when the creations separate from each other, they cease to receive fulfillment. But I see that even in this state suddenly great illuminations and great pleasures appear. For example, even a very experienced friend can go against the whole ten and say: “This is my opinion. I am even ready to give up spirituality, but I will not depart from my opinion.” From where does such an illumination come?

Answer: From human egoism.

Question: But the system works in such a way that fulfillment comes only from the upper to the lower, while egoism is the lowest point. Where does any pleasure of its own come from?

Answer: It is not quite so. The point is that the desire to be filled relates to egoism, that is, to the lower, while the desire to fill is the desire of the upper. In this they differ from each other. But the lower, that is, the creation, cannot reach the upper,  the Creator, by its own power. It doesn’t have any way to do that.

The only thing it can achieve this is if it detaches from the Creator and works only with its own desire to bestow, that is, it becomes similar to the Creator.
