Avoid Closing Yourself Off in Prayer

942Question: 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.

How Can We Renew the Strength of the Ten?

938.03Question: 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.

Where Should We Start the Scrutiny?

222Question: 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.

Feel Contact with the Creator

237Question: 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.

How Should We Regard the Past Convention?

214Question: 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.

Living through the Sources

209Question: 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.

How Can We Be Confident that Our Prayer Is Accepted?

595.03Question: Kabbalists write that if we have performed all the actions of turning to the Creator, we should gain confidence that the prayer is accepted. But how can we acquire this confidence?

Answer: It depends on what kind of light descends upon a person from the Creator. To demand, ask, and feel the necessity for it is what you must do. And gradually this light will come to you as the feeling that the Creator is in constant good connection with you.

Question: How can one transition from a state of gratitude to prayer and asking?

Answer: If we wish to draw closer to the Creator, we must ask Him precisely in those states in which we are striving toward Him.

The Creator Will Force Us to Unite

221.0Question: There are no safe places on Earth. In a few years, India will go under water. Scientists predict a new earthquake in Turkey as climate problems are on the rise. Is humanity doomed to perish?

Answer: No. Even if it wanted to, it would not happen. The Creator will force us to unite even more to positively affect our further ascents.

Question: What will happen to those who do not study Kabbalah? Will they die out like dinosaurs, or ascend?

Answer: Either they will die out or they will aim toward the goal of creation. One or the other.

Question: So is our task to influence this through dissemination?

Answer: Absolutely.
