Question: Within us lies tremendous spiritual force. How can we unlock this force in which creations are to unite with the Creator? Is it only through the screen?

Answer: Only through the Creator. The Creator will do everything necessary, both the screen and the connection.

Question: What should I internally ask the Creator for?

Answer: It is up to you what you ask for. It all depends on your relationship with Him, what desire the Creator evokes in you, and with what desire you approach Him. Ask to understand this desire and ask to fulfill it so that He can help you with this.

Question: It is written in the sources that one must believe above reason that the Creator wanted to do good to His creations. How does this differ from the common understanding that everything happens for the best, hope for the best and everything will be good?

Answer: It may seem very similar. But the point is that faith above reason obliges you to perceive everything happening in the world as an action of the Creator, which is always positive.

Question: Can it be said that part of humanity still lives by this principle?

Answer: Yes, but they accept it through reason, not through faith above reason. The difference is that you are connected to the Creator if you operate on faith above reason. But if it is through reason, it does not bind you to anything.

Question: What does it mean to adhere to the Creator in faith above reason?

Answer: It means to connect with Him and feel Him in all your desires and thoughts.

Question: When we follow you, we periodically receive the light of knowledge. How can the ten achieve such a state without interruption? What do we have to do?

Answer: Friends in the ten must follow the teacher’s instructions as if they know, understand, and see that this is how we do everything.

Together they support each other and thus follow their leader. Then gradually they begin to understand what they are lacking and how to obtain knowledge within faith so that faith will bring them knowledge.

Question: What should I demand from myself?

Answer: You must demand only one thing from yourselves and the friends: that all of you connect with the group in the center of our circle. From the center of the circle, you would look at the Creator.

Question: If the Creator is good and does good, then does punishment exist at all in spirituality?

Answer: Of course everything exists in spirituality, both help and punishment. It may not exist in this world, but it definitely exists in the spiritual realm.

Punishment is intended to make us realize that we are obliged to fulfill spiritual conditions for our own good.

For example, if you now lack spiritual importance, then this is a punishment. You should not accept such a situation. If you do not agree with such a thing, you will be able to justify it and rise higher.

Question: In the articles of Kabbalists it is written that there is complete and partial faith. What is the difference between them?

Answer: You do not know what will be revealed to you at the next level, but what has now been revealed in all your Kelim, when they are all filled with the light of Hassadim it means that you are in complete faith.

Partial faith manifests itself when not all of your Kelim are filled with Ohr Hassadim.

Question: It is written in the sources that we fill the void between us with the greatness of the Creator. What is this empty space?

Answer: We fill such voids in our hearts where we previously felt nothing and never thought that there was something there with the greatness of the Creator.

The Creator grants us the opportunity to fill the empty space by the property of bestowal.

Question: Is it necessary to maintain material emptiness, that is, the desire to be content with only what is necessary in order to correctly realize spiritual emptiness?

Answer: You need to be in balance. A person must have both. One must calmly work with all one’s desires.

Question: We must learn how to use our receiving Kelim for bestowal, but in fact we are the ones who get corrected. In this case, how should we deal with shame?

Answer: Shame is a good quality. It corrects us and gradually turns us in a way that we stop receiving for our own sake.

Question: For me, the Creator is so great that for His sake I am ready to bestow to everyone. But at the same time, I no longer want His revelation.

On the contrary, I am ashamed if He reveals Himself. I want to hide before Him because He is so great in my eyes. What is this faith called?

Answer: It is called simple faith; when you do not desire anything other than all the opportunities that the Creator gives you to help others, to support and encourage them.
