Is It Possible to Measure the Development of Tens?

938.02Question: Is there any way to measure development in the ten? For example, such and such a relationship in the ten is the first grade of education. The manifestation of other relationships is the second grade of study, etc. Do I know that for the first ten years of working in the ten, I spent in the first grade, the second ten years in the second grade?

Answer: You have to feel it for yourself. I cannot tell you anything because it cannot be expressed in words. That is, when you start to see, not just feel, but compare your possible states, then you can talk more specifically about your feelings.

And so there is nothing to talk about, like with a baby with whom they are cooing and that is it. So let us hope that soon you will start babbling.

Question: Is there any sensory parameter that you can rely on? Let us say I cannot get up for class, which means I am in second grade; I cannot talk to my friends, which is a plus for me, third grade.

Answer: There is no such thing. At each stage, in each state, negative and positive forces manifest themselves, and in this way you adapt them to yourself, and learn from your own experience. And to tell you in advance which classes you are taking will not help anyway. I can, for example, name all 125 steps that we should climb, but they will not tell you anything.

AB, SAG, Ibur, Yenika, Mochin, ascents, and descents—you study all this, but you still do not have adequate sensations, and therefore you do not know where you are. When the appropriate sensations come, you will immediately begin to give them names from what you have studied.

Reach the Goal of Creation

934To reach the goal of creation, we need to unite among ourselves, become like one person with one desire, meaning with one heart, and think only about how to attain the goal.

This means revealing the Creator so that He manifests as the center of the spiritual system, and we realize what the purpose of creation is, what we live for, and what we exist for. This is the goal of our lessons.

Attainment of the Creator depends on our efforts, on the fact that we try not to miss lessons, that we are united with each other, that we write down the main points of the study, and that we ask questions on the topic. Thus, within a few months we will start feeling our connection, and the upper world at the center of this connection.

Help Everyone Draw Closer to Bestowal

939.01To become a partner with the Creator in the desire to bestow to others means that a person wishes to reach a state where they do everything to help people attain the quality of bestowal, that is, to transform their inherent egoistic desires into altruistic ones.

Therefore, the correct daily implementation of the connection between the ten and the Creator involves our striving to help everyone in the world draw closer to the quality of bestowal, to connection with others, and to collective correction.

Question: What should the ten hear from the Creator once they are connected?

Answer: They should hear how exalted the Creator is in His thoughts, how all-powerful He is in His actions, and how His actions influence everyone.

Springboard for a New Degree

938.02Question: When we reach out through love of friends toward love of the Creator and it does not work, it is perceived as a failure, as a blow. How can this be justified and turned into a springboard for a new degree?

Answer: The entire ten should embrace and try to squeeze out all sorts of thoughts and feelings that prevent you from merging with each other.

Squeeze out all the bad, all negative emotions, like pus from a wound. It is purification when you fill the freed-up emptiness with a positive feeling.

The Importance of Participation in the Ten

528.04Question: We meet in the ten every day for half an hour. Some friends are often in such a state that they do not come to the meetings because they feel that they cannot give the others the importance of the goal or could even harm the ten.

What should you do: not come or come anyway?

Answer: There is nothing worse than absence. If a person could have come to a lesson or a meeting of the ten but decided not to attend, there is no excuse for this. After all, any participation of his somehow moves the ten forward.

Special States of the Soul

293.1Question: On one hand the light is constant; on the other the lights come on holidays and on Saturday (Shabbat). Does our perception change because of this?

Answer: The light changes only relative to people, but in reality it is unchanged. It is absolutely even and infinite, and fills everything, and all the usual sensations that unfold on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh day (Shabbat) and further into holidays and special dates are special states of our soul.

They will exist until we completely correct it. As soon as we correct our common soul, everything will turn into one continuous light, into a single day.

Subtleties of Perceiving the Environment

928Question: How does the ten correctly feel the deficiencies that it perceives from the environment?

Answer: How does the ten properly receive all the feelings, desires, lacks, influences and so forth from the environment? There is no single, straightforward answer to this question.

The ten’s perception is based on the relationships between the friends because a ten is ten Sefirot that form a specific structure of interconnection. Depending on the combination of these ten egoistic parts, they create a certain spiritual structure.

Then, to the extent that this structure resembles the Creator even in the smallest way, it perceives Him through the law of equivalence of form. Just as in our world we perceive only what we can generate within ourselves.

In reality, I do not feel what is around me, but rather what I can create within myself, and then I seem to see this world as if it were outside of me. However, in truth, it is within me. This concept is studied in the topic of the perception of reality.

Questions about Spiritual Work—196

281.02Question: What does spiritual love mean in the group?

Answer: Spiritual love in the group is our connection with each other when everyone feels their dependence on others and the need to be in such unity with them that in this connection they gradually reveal the Creator and the entire spiritual world.

Question: How do we understand our purpose both materially and spiritually?

Answer: Your purpose for being in this world is to ascend to the Creator and be connected to Him.

Question: What is the role of the group in strengthening the spiritual path and protecting against the influence of an egoistic environment?

Answer: It is one hundred percent help to each other. Without it, there is no way to reach even the lowest spiritual level.

Question: How on one hand can you boldly express yourself in the group and on the other hand be afraid to bring your selfish expectations into it?

Answer: You will soon feel how taking part in learning elevates and cleanses you of all selfish desires.
