One Subject with the Strength of the Ten

938.01Question: If someone in the ten reaches a higher degree, do the others also end up on it or does everyone stay on their own degree?

Answer: Imagine that now your entire ten is in our lesson. We are all trying to unite, and the whole ten strives to be like one person in whom all desires, all goals, and all intentions come together. This is the state we strive to reach, and we will achieve it.

Then we will be one subject who wants to attain the Creator. But the strength in it will be from ten, the intention from ten. In accordance with this, we will break forward.

507.05Question: You said that a woman’s desire runs in depth, and a man’s desire in breadth. How does this connection and filling happen? How can we feel this point in the ten?

Answer: This is not your work, but the work of the Creator. You only have to identify your flaws and pray for their correction.

Question: Is it enough just to ask the Creator to correct a flaw? What else is required of us?

Answer: Only to ask for complete correction.

Toward Each Other

032.01Question: It happens that you ask for a friend and immediately feel how the Creator helps him. And sometimes it seems that you want to help and ask, but the person cannot accept this help, and you feel that the prayer is not going through. Are there any conditions for a person to be able to accept help?

Answer: If you open your heart, then most likely he will open his own and accept your help. It all depends on you.

The influencer, the giver, must be absolutely selfless, like the Creator. Then he can hope that his action will be correct.

What Does Connection with the Friends Reveal?

962.2Question: If my desire to fulfill another person stems from a desire to do good to them, then to check my attitude toward them I need the evil inclination to check whether I am acting above hatred, separation, or rejection. Is this the flaw?

Answer: The evil inclination is inherent in us from the beginning, so absolutely all of your desires have a flaw.

But you can see how much you are within these flaws only when you start working on connection with your friends.

Questions about Spiritual Work—92

549.01Question: All that the Creator performs is His boundless love for us. When in prayer, we reveal His love as knowledge. What does this love do inside us?

Answer: Love reduces the distance between you so much so that you can feel the Creator.

Question: Any connection with the right intention attracts light. Is there a difference between women’s connection and men’s? We have an opinion that only men attract light. Is it so?

Answer: No, women attract light no less than men. In this respect, everyone is equal.

Question: Kabbalah gives us very elevated knowledge, which strengthens faith. Is it possible to say that the transformation of this knowledge into faith occurs when we pass knowledge through the senses?

Answer: I do not think you can do that. These are fantasies.

Question: What is the role of the lower when climbing from below up?

Answer: The role of the lower one is to ask for a screen from the upper one and work with this screen.

Question: We teach that we should be willing to do the work of the Creator without reward. Is knowledge a payment for the desire to receive?

Answer: No, we can receive knowledge and perform any actions that bring us closer to the Creator and bring us closer together. All these actions are desires of the Creator.

The Concept of Miscarriage In Spiritual Work

938.04Question: Is there such a thing as miscarriage in spiritual work? If so, what does it mean?

Answer: Miscarriage in spirituality is the inability of the womb to retain the fetus within itself. This happens because alien forces exert such an influence on the fetus that they eject it from their influence.

Question: Can a woman influence this process or is it solely in the hands of the Creator?

Answer: If a woman strives for the correct spiritual state, she can positively influence her health.
