Question: How important is the Hisaron (the need) of the lower one in the ten? How important is his appeal to the friends to correct material suffering?

Answer: Any one of the friends turning to the ten is very inspiring and shakes everyone up. Then  everyone tries to respond with the proper answer.

That is very important. Without the Hisaron of the lower one you cannot correct material suffering.

Question: If we fail to correct something in the spiritual, it immediately passes into the material plane. Given the material problem, how can we learn what we must correct in the spiritual?

Answer: You cannot figure it out, at least not in your state. But what you can do is make every effort to combine all your actions and all your thoughts.

Question: The Book of Zohar has two levels: the language of feeling and the language of spiritual definition. How can we use both levels to help us rise above the story and feel its spiritual meaning?

Answer: To help us understand the spiritual meaning, the Creator created not one person but many people by breaking the common soul into parts and thereby allowing us to unite.

If we unite over our egoism, we will be able to understand the Creator and all of nature more and better.

Question: How can I feel everything described in this book is happening to me?

Answer: This happens by the upper light, called The Zohar. We should only strive to bring each other closer and to positively influence each other.

Question: We have a sense of self-awareness that we are a reality that can receive and bestow light. In the quality of the Creator, we feel ourselves as part of a single system with Him. How do we reconcile these two qualities in the work of the ten since they are essentially different?

Answer: Yes, they relate to different qualities, but we must try to combine them. Gradually, we will succeed in doing so.

Question: How can we strengthen the intention to bestow in the ten?

Answer: We need to talk about it more, and while performing actions, you should try to feel that you are uniting and turning to the Creator. Then longing toward Him will be stronger, and you will come to His revelation.

Question: Can a person studying Hasidic texts embrace the dissemination of Bnei Baruch and begin to strive for the Creator?

Answer: Of course. That person needs to get acquainted with what we do. We want to reach the feeling of the Creator. That is what he should engage in. He needs to read our books and immerse himself in them a little.

Question: If a person is part of a whole and included in the system, how can he pray for others without thinking about himself? What is unconditional love? How can one love unconditionally at all?

Answer: I do not know how to explain it because it is a feeling. You have to try to let these feelings pass through you, through your connections with the friends, and then you will have the opportunity to understand what this is about.

Question: In the wisdom of Kabbalah, we often hear the term “imagine to yourself.” What kind of creature is a person if they can change their states with imagination? When we imagine something good, in a way, we change our state. Where does this happen within us?

Answer: A person as if consists of two systems. In one system, he feels; in the other, he can imagine something, even if it is opposite to his feelings. Therefore, when we read the explanations of the Kabbalists, we desire to feel what they describe. Let us do just that.

Gradually, by tuning ourselves to different understandings, sensations, and bestowal, our brain will transition from sensations to feelings so that feelings will operate in the mind.

Question: The article “The Torah and the Creator are One” discusses two paths: the path of the Torah and the path of the Creator. How can we determine which path is preferable for us?

Answer: We work according to the methodology of the ARI and Baal HaSulam. These are the two main pillars on which our teaching rests. According to this, we move forward to understand the world in which we exist and to reveal the actions of the Creator in it.

Our methodology includes both the path of the Creator and the path of the Torah. Walking the path of the Torah reveals more of the Creator. That is how it works, one within the other.

Question: Each of us is engaged in working with our desires. The influence of the light leads to their correction, which is an individual attainment. But what does it mean to add one’s friends‘ desires to this picture? How do we approach these desires and reveal them to reach a common attainment?

Answer: This is a difficult task that we must engage in at every step. Therefore, we must carefully monitor where our thoughts are, what we talk about, what we learn, and what we read. And this must be done without departing from spiritual boundaries.

Question: In the ten’s work, there is an understanding that one must feel the desires of the friends, but unfortunately, there is no internal impression. What is the correct approach here: to clothe them or to come out to their desires?

Answer: We simply need to unite in our desires. We must agree to connect with friends in such a way as to become “one person in one heart” so that there are no differences between us so that we always think about one common goal and strive only for it.

Question: Ultimately will we come to the point where, in our mind, we will feel and define ourselves concerning the Creator and ask for correction? Can we achieve this in the ten?

Answer: Of course, I do not doubt it.
