It is written: “A Field that the Lord Has Blessed.” Our whole life is like a field along which a man walks and collects everything from it that seems useful for his life. But if he wants his state to be like a field that is blessed by the Creator, then he must treat his life as a gift given to him from above.

The Creator is inside this field of life and allows a man to receive from it everything necessary in order to grow a harvest in this field and enjoy the fruit grown with the blessing of the Creator. And then it turns out that his field is truly a field blessed by the Creator.

The field is the upper power of the Creator clothed in the world. And in this field good fruit can grow, and harmful weeds can grow too. It all depends on the man and on how he accepts all this, that is, on what he wants to grow in this field.

The Creator has prepared a field, land, and seeds for a man; the only thing missing is man’s work. And it depends on a man’s attitude to this field of his life: whether he wants good, correct fruit to grow in this field or whether he is indifferent and does not think about it at all.

Therefore, if a person treats his life as a field blessed by the Creator, then he must connect with the Creator and make every effort so that everything that is needed grows in this field.

He is called El, Elokim, Shadai, Tzvaot, EKYEH, so they would know Him in each and every attribute (Baal HaSulam, Foreword to The Book of Zohar, #40).

Question: The names of the Creator correspond to the ten Sefirot. Is it their filling or their naming?

Answer: These are ten Sefirot with light in them.

The name of the Creator consists of the Kli and the light that fills it. Kabbalists express their achievements in almost identical names. These names make it easier to indicate what you are suggesting. Just like in our world, if you talk about someone or something, you express some particular perception of this object, nothing more.

Question: What does it mean that the Kli of the ten takes such a form that it can accept the light or the name of the Creator, for example, El, Adni, or Eki?

Answer: It all depends on the level at which a person unites all the concepts of his relationship with the Creator. In what he is similar to the Creator, he senses this measure of similarity in himself, measures it, and thus names the Creator.

Just like in our world, you say some person is smart and has some kind of feature. That is, you call it that through your perception of its properties.

Question: Concerning the Creator, can I measure and verify this?

Answer: By comprehending the Creator, you measure your likeness to Him. And everyone who reveals Him on the same level calls Him the same way.

Our life is a field blessed by the Creator, on which we must grow our spiritual future. And it depends only on us what kind of harvest we will gather from this field.

Everything depends on how we treat this soil from which it should grow, our attitude to working together in the field of all of us, and our attitude to the Creator. After all, the Creator gives this earth the strength to grow crops according to our desire.

Therefore, everything depends on the work between us and our appeal to the Creator. The field is the connection between us in the group and the Creator. And we need to ask the Creator to unite us more so that our common prayer reaches Him and so He gives strength to the earth to grow fruits on it.

This prayer depends only on our desire to achieve a result together and our willingness to put all our strength and hopes into this achievement, then a genuine prayer will be born from us turning to the Creator, which will awaken and oblige Him to give a harvest to our field, as it says: “My sons defeated me.”

That is how we will feel, attain, and discover the whole world, called the field. The world will open up before us like a book, and we will move forward together as one soul, one force, where everyone depends on each other and is connected to each other. That is when we will reveal that we really have a field of life blessed by the Creator in front of us.

We want to receive the strength and knowledge from the Creator of how we can work with our lives to turn them into an uplift and raise them to the degree of the spiritual world.

Question: What does it mean that a person attains the ten Sefirot for the first time?

Answer: Attaining the ten Sefirot means that a person goes through all their properties that are imprinted on him, associates with them, and becomes like them. Thus, he passes through the world of Atzilut.

Question: How do these properties pass through the worlds and become imprinted on them?

Answer: Each property manifests itself before a particular world and by passing through it, gets colored. as it were, in it, and moves on.

Question: Suppose we want to reveal ten Sefirot in the ten. Everyone feels unity and connection with the friends. What does it mean that the ten Sefirot are starting to manifest in this, and each property has attained this feeling?

Answer: A person feels himself consisting of these properties, wants to feel the Creator in each of them, and thus reveals them within himself.

Question: Is talking to a person and talking to their soul the same thing or different?

Answer: When you talk to someone, you are conversing with the person, not their soul. Speaking to the soul means opening your soul to each other, connecting on the next, higher degree, and feeling each other there. It is a completely different level of contact between people. But to do this, you need to feel the Creator.

Comment: I have a strong desire to learn how to speak directly to a person’s heart, not just at the level where we communicate, but at a deeper level.

My Response: To achieve this, you need to activate different desires, vessels, and tools. With a little more time, you will get there. Do not rush ahead of time.

Question: After the congress, I am constantly in gratitude. But it has divided me in two. Before, I was grateful to the Creator for having good feelings, and now I thank the Creator for being the cause of my feelings. Is this true gratitude?

Answer: This gratitude is already higher than the previous one. Before, you were grateful simply for feeling good. Now you are grateful for feeling good in the Creator’s world. Later, there will be other clarifications.

But you are already gradually separating yourself from the state in which the Creator raises you.

Question: All my fears arise because my desire to receive is not satisfied, and this causes anxiety. But I want to shift my concern to whether I can bring contentment to the Creator and whether I am doing it correctly. What is the prime support for each of us in this transition? Where can we find the strength for it?

Answer: Usually we draw strength from the understanding that there is no other way, that we have friends beside us who think the same and are in the same circumstances. We must overcome these fears, uncertainties, and doubts that knock us off the path to our goal. We must overcome them by all means.

Question: Is it possible to race ahead of these obstacles and awaken love?

Answer: No, you must understand that all these obstacles are designed to correct us. Without feeling them, we cannot correct them, and the world will not come to a sense of balance.

The ten (a Kabbalistic group of ten friends) can be perceived as a field in which we are obliged to do certain work.

If our work is correct, our future world will grow in this field, the correct, kind one. In this field we will find the Creator who blessed this field. In this way, we can move forward on the spiritual path.

We are looking for the Creator in our life, where is He? We want to reveal Him, turn to Him, meet with Him, and advance in our lives by following Him or being next to Him, no matter how, as long as we are together with the Creator. It is like a little child who does not know where to go, but he sticks to his mother right next to her and walks with her.

If a person connects with friends and completes the full ten, this group becomes a holy society where one eventually finds the Creator. This whole group is like a field blessed by the Creator, and together with them, one can move toward the goal of creation.

The Creator gave you this group so you could achieve the goal of creation. But this field may remain bare and unseeded or even overgrown with weeds and thorns without yielding useful fruits.

Or maybe, on the contrary, you connect with your friends, strengthen them, and wish that a good harvest would grow in this field, which could provide the whole world, all of humanity. Then this field that is overgrown with thistles will turn into a fertile arable land blessed by the Creator.

To do this, we need to unite and thank the Creator for caring for us and leading us to the end of correction. And the more we unite and become closer to each other internally, the more we will strengthen our connection, called the field, until we realize that we need the blessing of the Creator. And without the help of the Creator, not a single seed will sprout from the earth.

Therefore, all our work consists of connecting and turning to the Creator, asking Him to help us work properly in this field, and to grow such a harvest that can saturate and fill all creations.

Question: Do we receive blows in life because we try to come closer to the Creator without having qualities similar to His?

Answer: Generally yes, but these blows teach us, heal us, and elevate us.

Question: How do we understand which obstacles we need to overcome and which are sent to us to change direction to the right one? Or do we need to overcome everything?

Answer: No, not everything. We need to understand what we need to overcome and what we do not. We must look at everything we receive because it comes only from the Creator.
