Question: You said that we collect the face of the Creator from the states we go through, which apparently include work with the group, the teacher, books, and so on. How can we consciously build this snowball more quickly?

Answer: It depends on the intensity of your work, how many times a day each of you turns to the Creator, how often you unite with each other and turn to Him, and so on.

Question: Does it mean that all our work consists of the desire to participate in something that cannot be changed?

Answer: No, we do not think that anything can be changed. We are interested in how we should change under the influence of the Creator. This is the main thing.

Question: When you work in faith above reason, help comes from the Creator, which is called illumination from above. Thus, a person attains the five levels of NRNHY. What is this help in the form of illumination?

Answer: It is what gives you the strength to rise above the levels of Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, and Yechida, each time overcoming your egoistic desire.

Question: In the place where there is illumination and reception of the lights of NRNHY, how does Malchut determine the level of the coarseness (Aviut) of the screen it can handle?

Answer: Malchut is in attainment of its Aviut and in attainment of the light descending to it. Therefore, it can determine what it can handle.

This is how you make a calculation in a store when you hold a wallet in your hands and see the price of the item. This is what Malchut does.

Question: We studied the concepts of Sefirot in the four phases of direct light descending from above downward. What are Keter, Hochma, and Bina in the reflected light? How are they different when ascending from below upward?

Answer: The difference is that Malchut, which was created by the nine Sefirot and desires only to receive, in the reflected light wants only to bestow liker Keter of the direct light. Therefore, Malchut of the reflected light is called Keter of the reflected light because it acts in the same way as Keter of the direct light.

All the Sefirot of the reflected light are similar to the Sefirot of the direct light. The only difference is in their origin. The direct light comes from the Creator, while the reflected light comes from the creation.

Question: When I nullify myself before the friends, trying to change my understanding that I control something in life to the understanding that the Creator controls everything, how can I integrate this into corporeal life? It seems that this desire is still egoistic because I am asking for myself.

Answer: Continue the spiritual work on yourself, and you will gradually see your thoughts change, how you can ask not for yourself, but precisely for your friends.

Ultimately, this will lead to you ceasing to be a receiver, and you will only bestow.

Question: Attainment in spirituality occurs only in reflected light. How can one construct the most elementary level of reflected light?

Answer: The level of reflected light must correspond to the direct light that descends from the Creator down. The reflected light must be the same as the direct light. Then they will be equivalent, and the creation that receives the direct light in the reflected light will fully understand all the definitions in the direct light.

Question: But I do not want to receive anything for myself. I only want to give something to the Creator. How do you do that?

Answer: You must understand how to make a screen for yourself and from this screen become like the Creator in the reflected light. Then, being like Him, you will understand His actions and state and merge with Him. This is the action of the screen.

Question: But how does this translate into intention? What should I be thinking about?

Answer: Your intention and focus should be about being in likeness with the Creator.

Question: Does a gift from the Creator always feel like pleasure or sometimes like a blow to egoism?

Answer: Both ways.

Question: What kind of gift can the creation give to the Creator?

Answer: Receiving for the sake of bestowal. If a person prays to the Creator, asks Him for something, but not for himself, then it works.

Question: It isn’t clear how the Creator helps us. I see that I receive everything for myself and ask Him to help. How do I receive this gift of gratuitous action from the Creator?

Answer: A person develops such desires and qualities that can work for bestowal.

Question: If I cannot do something, for example, wake up for a lesson and ask the Creator to help, will He help me wake up in the end?

Answer: If you ask, He will help.

Question: Can I ask for a friend to receive such strength?

Answer: Of course. Keep asking. Ask for your friend, for yourself, so that you know how to ask.

Question: How can we make a spiritual deficiency as tangible and intense as our corporeal deficiencies?

Answer: It depends only on you. If you want it, you will feel how immense your desire for spirituality is. You just need to reveal it.

Question: Can we create this “really wanting it” by inflating the importance of each other?

Answer: Yes, but only by being connected with your friends.

Question: How can we cultivate spiritual deficiencies (Hisaron) in the ten?

Answer: It is simple. Try to strengthen your desire for unity, the desire for spirituality so you will receive what you desire. You increase your desires for spirituality by discussing this with each other, as it says: “Each one shall help his friend.”
