Question: How can one open their heart to the Creator so that He takes us out of egoism?

Answer: This is precisely why we study the wisdom of Kabbalah. It is to understand how to receive everything the Creator wants to give us, which can only happen through the connection between us.

Therefore we must strive to connect above our egoistic desires, and to the same extent, the Creator can be revealed within us.

Question: How can one desire to know the Creator Himself and not just what He gives?

Answer: It depends on your readiness to connect with the Creator rather than receive from Him. You must be ready to accept what He wishes to give in order to connect with Him and bring Him contentment through that connection.

Question: What does “That which is revealed in Malchut is what is bestowed upon the lower ones” mean?

Answer: A person, on his or degree, reveals their desire to connect with the Creator and with the lower ones, meaning with the other friends. Then, the Creator is revealed within all of them together.

Question: What is the common desire of the ten directed at bestowal to the Creator?

Answer: It consists of the individual desires of the ten, which connect to be directed toward the Creator so that He would feel them. The desires connect without interfering with one another at all.

Question: How can we raise the greatness of the Creator to such a degree that we would not be able to do anything without the intention to bestow?

Answer: It does not depend on a person’s attitude; it depends on the revelation of the Creator through one’s friends. If you are determined to attain the Creator and turn to your friends with this request, prayer, or demand, then everything will work out for you.

Question: What can help to reach a new degree of connection in the ten that would give more faith in the Creator?

Answer: Blindly drawing closer to your friends.

Question: After the revelation of the Creator, can a person say that now he is like the Creator?

Answer: No, the revelation of the Creator actually puts a person in his proper place. The person takes this place and understands who he really is.

Question: By performing the Creator’s work, are we essentially substituting Him in all His actions?

Answer: No, that has never happened, does not happen, and will never happen.

Question: What actions can a ten take to compel the Creator to reveal Himself?

Answer: Compel Him with a strong, healthy desire.

Question: Is gratitude something that comes from above, or do we need to acquire it as a certain skill when, despite of everything and in spite of everything, we are in joy and gratitude?

Answer: The most important problem of our world is selfishness, which separates us from each other. At congresses we become involved in something common and make all sorts of movements toward each other, maybe even artificial ones. There is no natural love between us. We are the same as all earthly creatures.

Therefore by making efforts and coming together, we caused a great outflow of kindness from above from the Creator. Now we need to take this benefit into ourselves, digest it and continue on.

Question: Why is it so important for Kabbalists to be grateful to the Creator?

Answer: The Creator feels our reaction to His actions. If we react correctly to the fact that He gathers us, brings us closer, and forms one common desire from us, then by recognizing His attitude toward us we raise His greatness, His role, and His value in our eyes. In this way we deserve to be treated kindly even more.

Question: In the state of ascent I do not feel the obvious evil inclination within me. Do I still have to ask the Creator to correct it?

Answer: If you do not have a clear feeling that you are in the state of a descent, then you cannot ask the Creator for correction. But you have to depict to yourself that you definitely are in a descent, that you are resisting it, and therefore are waiting for the ascent.

Question: But if I do not feel like I am in descent, nevertheless, do I still have to depict that I exist in this state?

Answer: No, but you have to prepare yourself for the ascent. It is from this point of view that you need to imagine that you are in descent. That is how to find the evil inclination in yourself that you clearly do not feel at this moment and ask for its correction.

Question: How can I resist the descent and prepare for the ascent?

Answer: Resisting the descent and preparing for the ascent is the same thing. You just have to constantly ask for an ascent, for connection with the Creator, for strengthening the group and yourself in it, and then you will not have any problems. This is very important.

Question: The convention is over. We are returning to our permanent tens (groups), and I am already trying to focus only on my ten. It is difficult for me to do this without including the entire world group. Can I continue with my ten and include all of Bnei Baruch?

Answer: Of course, include the entire world Kli (vessel)! What else is it for? Please go ahead.

That is precisely what our movement is about—from love of friends to love for the Creator, because the Creator is the whole world Kli united together and the entire upper light is revealed in it.

In other words, the Creator is our absolutely corrected state, the desire with the intention, filled with infinite light. Only in this way can we imagine the Creator.

Question: How does the spiritual unification we are striving for differ from the corporeal one that the whole world has been engaged in for centuries?

Answer: We must feel what kind of beast a person is. Why did the Creator create him? What does He get from the fact that we are such egoists? How can we purify ourselves, raise ourselves up, bring ourselves closer to the Creator, and unite with other friends?

How can we feel all this creation as a swamp that is gradually drawing us into itself? After all, every minute we can plunge into it with our minds, and nothing will help us then.

This is how we must think about our destiny and feel that every day that we live without a spiritual ascent to the Creator in order to adhere to Him, we are sucked into this swamp. This is exactly how we need to tune in, and then we will feel the benefit of our spiritual work.

Question: What is the role of a woman in Kabbalah?

Answer: It is the same as the role of a man. Nothing changes.

In our world where we exist in physical bodies with material desires and family responsibilities, we are very different from each other.

But in the spiritual world, the work of men and women is the same. Kabbalah says a lot about the role of a woman and how she rules the world. Our world is also secretly ruled by women.

Malchut is the female part of the Kli, the soul. It determines everything. In our world, we always see men as producing something, doing something, but in fact there are women behind them who silently, even without words control them.

That is why women’s groups are very important to us. We would really like them to develop even more. The main role of a woman in Kabbalah is to push a man to fulfill his spiritual mission. As a mother pushes a child: “Do it,” trains him, stands behind him, so women need to manage men.
