Question: How can one maintain a state of constant service to the Creator rather than in prayer?

Answer: We must try to remain merged with the Creator at all times despite any changes that seem good or bad to us; we need to perceive them all in one direction, with one purpose influencing us. Then we will understand Him more quickly.

Question: We have the concept of intention, which, as I see it, serves as a trigger in inner work. How does a person’s intention help him transition from a state of descent to ascent?

Answer: Intention means that a person who seeks to be closer to the Creator chooses from all their possibilities the one that would bring them nearer to Him.

Question: What work should we do throughout the day to maintain the inner connection with the ten?

Answer: Strengthen your connection with the Creator based on the connections and bonds that manifest between you.

Question: How can one speed up the process of emerging from a descent to reach the recognition of evil?

Answer: I can say only one thing: strive toward the point of connection between a person and the Creator from any state you go through. From any state! Because all these states are given to us by the Creator with only one purpose so that at this point He reveals in us, we discover Him.

Question: Is the descent given to me for individual work or work in the ten? Is one obliged to turn to the ten not to deprive it of the opportunity to work at a given moment?

Answer: That is right. A person should turn to the ten, turn to the Creator, in order to connect his friends together through himself.

When he feels he is succeeding, he should proceed to the next operation. And the next series of steps is when he is already striving to discover himself in the Creator.

Question: How do I know if I am helping the Creator?

Answer: It depends on your constant desire. If you want to feel the Creator all the time and help Him, you will eventually be given this opportunity.

Question: On one hand, you say we need to take action: “Since you created me with certain qualities, give me the strength to pray.” But I am afraid I might do something wrong and harm myself. Guide me properly so that I do not close off in prayer and so I can convey its essence to the ten.

Answer: Get together with your friends and begin to briefly describe your state so as not to lose the path you are charting.

Once you manage to do this, select excerpts from prayers which are the most appropriate for your state, with all the additions. Incorporate your requests into this prayer. You will see how everything turns out well.

Question: Does the strength of a prayer depend on the root of the soul?

Answer: The strength of a prayer depends only on a person’s inner root. In general, when something is truly revealed in Kabbalah, it is revealed much more simply and more comprehensively. The main thing is not to give up, to study, write questions, and refer to the source.

Question: We were greatly impressed by the unity at the convention. Now we are back home. There are burning impressions inside, but something has changed. How can we renew the strength of the ten under the new conditions after the convention so that we can truly achieve a real ascent to the Creator?

Answer: I would advise you to correspond more frequently between the tens and constantly strive to rise.

We have already formed an impressive spiritual community. It is mostly you. There are 20 to 30 more people who did not attend for various reasons. So draw closer to us, join in, and we will help each other. I do not see any significant problems in our advancement.

Question: We need to scrutinize our states when we do not understand what to do. Where should we begin these scrutinies?

Answer: Begin with the desire to feel the Creator: how He influences me, how I can influence Him, and how we can come closer to each other.

In essence, there is only one question. But when you start breaking it down into many sub-questions, it turns out that we actually have an entire system that can do this. And that is exactly what we do.

Question: Is the most important thing always to seek alignment of intentions? Does an ascent happen only when contact with the Creator occurs?

In the process of spiritual work, sometimes you catch this contact, but then it disappears, you catch it again, and it disappears. Sooner or later, should this lead to a permanent adhesion with Him, or will these disconnections always happen?

Answer: The disconnections must happen in order to disturb you so that you do not become certain that you will always have contact with the Creator so that you will naturally move beyond the perception of only this world and begin to feel the upper world. Therefore, our entire task is to rise above ourselves and enter the feeling of the Creator.

A person always receives the opportunity to ascend one degree higher than before. We must be prepared for this: I want to feel it in my heart and my mind so that I can truly experience contact with the Creator.

Question: Does awe increase as you get closer to this?

Answer: Usually yes.

Question: How should we regard the past convention, as a foundation for the future work of the ten or as returning to some pleasant moments? I am afraid that one might get stuck in this.

Answer: Of course, one can get stuck, that is obvious.

The most important thing is the constant and increasingly precise determination of the ultimate goal. That comes first.

Secondly, we must always determine to what extent the ten I am in is pushing through the distance between me and the Creator. At the very least, this.

Question: What are the distinctive effects of The Book of Zohar and The Study of the Ten Sefirot on us?

Answer: The Study of the Ten Sefirot (TES) is an original textbook studied worldwide that explains all the states the soul undergoes. The Book of Zohar is divided into chapters, so we cannot study it from the first to the last page in a continuous manner.

We will study both. Strive for these books to become your true sources so that you live guided only by them. And then you will see how what is written in them becomes clothed in you, in matter, and in time.
