Question: What kind of miracle can we ask the Creator for?

Answer: The miracle of obtaining the force of light above reason.

Question: You said that a person should give what comes to him from the Creator to everyone. Is my good intention alone enough to pass on what comes from the Creator to my friends? Or is it a prerequisite to include their desires in yourself?

Answer: The inclusion of friends is very important. This is the only way to unite in the ten.

Question: How can a person evoke the need for faith himself, so that there is a true prayer?

Answer: Ask the Creator for this.

Question: Can a person feel love for his neighbor only by being rewarded with complete faith?

Answer: No, not necessarily. Even at the very beginning, when one begins to climb the steps a little, a person can already ask for another and connect with him.

Question: How can you not enjoy bestowal? Where should this pleasure be directed?

Answer: You should not keep the pleasure of giving to yourself. At the same time, you work within your desires and see how your desires receive this energy and exist thanks to it.

When …he sees that for himself he cannot receive the above-mentioned, then he makes a true prayer that the Creator will help him, and then the Creator makes a miracle for him and gives him the light of faith (Rabash, Notes 638 “Man’s Inclination”).

Question: How can one receive faith not for the sake of miracles, but for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: How can we share the light that descends to us in order to see what it comes for? Is it to give me the power of faith or just to lift me up so that I can see more of what is going on?

I think we need to have a better understanding of what it means to be in faith. We have no idea how great a force this is.

In our world, “faith,” “believer,” “believes” are all somehow lost. But in fact, the power of faith is the power that lifts a person above everything. And then one can control oneself.

Faith above reason does not belong to our earthly level; therefore, it is called a miracle. It is above the laws of nature.

Sometimes people complain that the spiritual path takes such a long time—years. But the only advice is to be patient and continue scrutinizing what exactly is necessary and the result will be revealed. Again and again, we should try to connect with the friends and turn to the Creator in order to ask once more.

A person alone cannot do much; the acceleration of time depends only on the group. If we unite, we can hasten time.

Therefore, one should calm down. If a person already understands that it is impossible to change their nature by their own efforts and that it can only be received from the Creator, then they must seek the right means that will lead them to the goal. Then he comes to the wisdom of Kabbalah, performs the actions advised by Kabbalists, and thus breaks through.

I think that very soon we will feel how we all are rising on the wings of an eagle.

Question: When the Creator gives a person constant faith, do foreign thoughts no longer visit him, or do they, but he already knows how to turn them around?

Answer: They just visit and that is it. There is nothing to ask the Creator for what He does not give.
The Creator gradually gives you more and more opportunities to strengthen yourself, to push away obstacles. But it is still our daily job.

And then we will learn how to process these obstacles so that we can use them to understand the ascents. After all, interference is not just interference, but help.

Question: Will faith above reason always contradict reason? Or can we reach a state where this contradiction disappears?

Answer: Faith will always contradict reason. But it is through it that we can rise higher and higher, while reason will receive only what we attain.

Question: In Rabash’s articles, does the term “Adam” refer to an individual or the ten as one man?

Answer: No, it simply refers to an individual, one person.

Question: Toward what thought or feeling should we all strive simultaneously to move from a dead point? Can you give us some advice?

Answer: I constantly give you advice and hope you listen to it. You need to keep getting closer to each other, more and more. I do not see any problems. The fact is that it takes time.

You can read in the writings of Baal HaSulam or Rabash that this path takes ten, even twenty years. When I first heard this, I was ready to grab Rabash and demand he accelerate my spiritual progress.

But it is designed this way so that our efforts extend throughout the duration of our attempts, and in this way, we perform the complete work of connection.

Having little faith means that he does not want only to bestow. “He who makes his voice heard during his prayer is of those of little faith” (Rabash, Notes 606, “Those of Little Faith”).

Question: Does this mean we must suppress the desire to receive so that it does not sound in our voice?

Answer: No, this is not required at all. You can shout or speak to yourself, the Creator will still understand, hear, and take note of everything.

Question: What is the difference between praying aloud and praying silently?

Answer: Whispered prayer can be more effective because a person formulates it inside himself and tries to connect with the Creator.

Question: When I ask for help from the Creator, this prayer comes from my lack of faith, meaning I lack belief and I ask the Creator to help me. What does my prayer consist of when I ask for the ability to bestow?

Answer: Bestowal is a property of the Creator. When you ask for the ability to bestow, you ask Him to give you that ability. In this way, you are trying to come closer to Him, to become like Him.

Question: What is the state of death in spirituality?

Answer: It is parting with the Creator.

Question: Is spiritual death inevitable at every stage or can we avoid it?

Answer: At each stage of one’s spiritual ascent, a person must momentarily experience the state of death. Then, the next step opens before one, and one enters it. That is necessary for our development.

Question: What does it mean “in the state of death” to take upon oneself the work of faith above reason? How is it done?

Answer: In the state of death, we do not find ourselves. But what we consider disconnection from the path, from the Creator, we say that it is similar to death. We must accustom ourselves to such states and realize that our spiritual life is much higher than this.

Question: Man’s main job is to come to a sense of the Creator’s reality. Achieving It can only be through prayer. How can a person keep the prayer that he must come to this feeling within oneself?

Answer: Strive for the Creator always and keep the desire to attain Him in your heart.

Question: Reason prevents us from going in faith above reason. How do we use reason correctly so that it helps us rise above ourselves?

Answer: To do this you need to unite with each other so that everyone can help a friend rise a little bit. If you work together to influence everyone in the ten in this way, you will be able to rise.

Question: When there is a great desire to get closer to the Creator, it is a good state. But what if a person feels the Creator a little bit, then is it not very good anymore?

Answer: It is okay to keep developing this feeling and try to increase it.
