Question: I feel my egoism has grown significantly. You said, “Either we annul egoism, or we elevate the importance of spirituality.” What should I do?

Answer: You should be glad that more and more egoism is revealed in you. You distance yourself from your friends; you do not want them, you do not want a group or any connection with others. These are all signs of growing egoism, and you should be glad about it.

That is, the left line develops in you, the growing ego, and the right line, correction, working with the ego despite it, must be aimed toward connection.

You must attract the upper light in order for it to create a second force in you, the force of attraction, so you will have two forces: the right and the left.

The fact that egoism is growing and you feel that you do not love your friends, do not want them, and push them away, are all signs of closeness.

Question: You said that the ten is a device that can captures the spiritual field. How can we feel that we have become this device?

Answer: Just as a compass captures the magnetic field, so do we. By gathering together, we create an instrument for perceiving this field, and it orients us, moves us, and nurtures us.

As the compass needle starts to turn in the magnetic field, we work in the ten until we begin to feel the spiritual field between us, which shapes us and moves us forward.

This is an inner sensation for each person to the extent that one annuls oneself before the ten.

Question: What does it mean to let the Creator into the mutual guarantee?

Answer: When we talk about mutual guarantee, we mean the right connection between people. That is, we ask ourselves how we should be united in order to represent a reliable earthly system of interconnected people.

There are people who understand that their egoistic desires play with them so much that they are unable to control themselves. If we look at humanity from the outside, what is happening to us simply defies any justification because we are trying to destroy, humiliate, kill, and suppress each other. We are motivated to do this by our inner desire, which does not allow us to exist in peace.

We need to neutralize the evil inclination in a person in some way. There is only one salvation for this—the force existing in nature that is able to balance our egoism. But we need to attract it to ourselves. This positive force is called the Creator.

Question: When I receive the revelation of the perfection of the Creator, where should I move further in my intention?

Answer: If you feel that you receive everything from Him and you feel good this way, thank Him for it.

As soon as you begin to give thanks, your Kli (vessel) that is filled with this pleasure will be emptied.
Gratitude and prayer, gratitude and request, expand the Kli like nothing else.

Question: How can one be ignited with such desires in which the Creator will be manifest? Sometimes you recall the past and feel like you’re not investing the way you did back then.

Answer: This is good because this is required so you would ask. All our desires, especially unrealistic desires and dreams, are necessary for us to ask the Creator. Only for this.

Collect them all, and nag Him all the time, keep asking. You will see that this is the only thing that helps—not your brains, not your memory, nothing. Just nag like a child who is always picking at an adult and demanding something from him. This is how you can succeed; there is no other way.

Question: Often a person comes to study Kabbalah out of despair and is searching for the meaning of life. When does a person need a group?

Answer: When a person, according to the state of his soul and according to internal preparation in this life or previous lives, is ready to begin the right advancement toward spirituality, then he is brought into the group.

But that does not mean anything. Some people come to the group and start getting used to it very quickly. They understand that it needs to be done like this: I am in a group and must fully connect myself with it, and then together, as a team in the army, we will attain the upper world, the Creator.

Some people come to the group, but internally disagree that they should be connected to the rest. For what?! How? What does connection have to do with it?! The Creator develops them in advance in arrogance, pride, etc. In general, it is hard for them.

They do not understand at all what it means to get closer to others, to connect, i.e., they go through a completely different development system, knocking about and twitching. However, if they stay on this path, they will eventually reach great heights, but after a longer time than the others.

Question: I remember about six years ago, I had such brief states, like gifts from the Creator, when I could feel something. It is clear that now I have to achieve these states myself, but the ego has strengthened and it is already hard to get it.

Now can I now focus on the sensations of past states and take them as a guide?

Answer: No way! I have known you for years. You are on a different degree now.

The feelings that will come to you are different. The states that you went through once will seem better and higher than the current ones. But that is because you are going into states that are more internal than those.

Once, let us say you were happy, like a five-year-old child playing ball with his friends. Today, you are already fifteen years old, and this is not the same game, not the same conditions, not the ease of joy from the game. Do not mix one thing with the other, live for today.

Comment: It is difficult to refuse past states that are constantly surfacing.

My Response: It does not matter. Do not refuse, but do not cling to the past either.

Question: You said that you need to ask the Creator to manifest Himself as kind and doing good.

But we are talking about working in faith above reason, i.e., not asking for some good attitude toward ourselves. Or is it still possible to ask?

Answer: You can ask, but as soon as you feel the Creator a little, after this you should look at what other corrections you need to make to reveal Him.
