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.

Question: What helps one constantly reveal and develop the true, strong, pure desire to be like the Creator at each degree?

Answer: You should feel each degree from all sides and relate it to the Creator and understand that He is revealed in you through all kinds of properties.

The Creator Himself will help you clearly identify your states. The point is that the light He sends you breaks you into several parts. Therefore, one relative to the other gives you a sensation of certain properties and characteristics, and you thus move forward.

Question: How can a person be rewarded with the revelation of the truth, the revelation of the roots?

Answer: To do this, we just need to correct our qualities and connect with the Creator.

Then all our qualities will be against His qualities, and one by one we will receive His influence on us. It shapes us and gives us a clear understanding of our condition in relation to the Creator.

Question: How can we build an intention to be giving in relation to the environment?

Answer: Our intention is to receive for the sake of the Creator. And what does it mean for the sake of the Creator? When we connect with each other in a single ten, twenty, thirty – it doesn’t matter, then in this way we attract the upper light, and it corrects us.

Question: When the Creator gives a strong desire to unite, how can we not waste this light? Is it enough to hold everyone in your heart and lift them up to the Creator?

Answer: No, you won’t keep anything that way. You must immediately connect with your ten and rise together using this light, this excitement that you have felt in yourself.

Question: Some friends believe that we should create a “magnet” of unification, and then the Creator Himself will attract it.

Answer: Don’t expect anything from the Creator, act on your own, and if you can’t, then ask the Creator to help you.

Question: By what signs can we understand that we are advancing?

Answer: As you are approaching the center of creation, you begin to understand more, to feel more, to reveal more of the entire universe. It becomes closer to you, and you have a greater understanding of spiritual forces, an understanding of the Creator.

You must search and try to find how you can come closer to the Creator.

Exactly in the same way that the body is impressed, so should be the fear of heaven (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 138, “Concerning Fear that Sometimes Comes Upon a Person”).

Question: What is “before heaven”? What is this place?

Answer: Before the Creator.

Question: But everyone has their own Creator. And how does this happen through working in the ten? After all, there is a fear of losing connection with your friends or not giving them enough.

Answer: Right! You should slowly remove these fears and instead try to feel love, affection, and a sense of intimacy.

Question: And if you feel that you have a fear of the Creator, but not for the ten and only for yourself so as not to receive blows, how can this fear be transferred into the fear for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: Just ask, and you will see how much you advance toward it.

Question: As is known in our world, fear is based on desire. That is, if I am afraid of something, it will happen. Is it possible to change fate if, with the help of prayer in the ten, all fears translate into trembling before the Creator? What kind of prayer should it be?

Answer: It should be an ordinary request that a person supports at the highest level he is able to.

Then, the Creator cancels the fear that He caused in a person and replaces it with another feeling, a more favorable one. After all, a person no longer needs to feel fear because he does everything to rise above the degree of fear to connect with his friends and the Creator.

Comment: It says that if fear overcomes us, we must investigate and study that it is not by chance.

My Response: You must understand what you are asking for or you will receive a reverse reaction from the Creator and will not be able to identify that it comes to your appeals to Him.

Question: But, in essence, we have constant contact with the Creator through the ten. When I realize that I have become detached from it and connect this with the Creator, that He did it so that I think little about the ten, and through the ten about Him, how do I correctly engage in the work?

Answer: The Creator never creates such obstacles for us. He does not want to detach us from the ten or from the purpose of creation. It all depends only on us.

Disturbances are meant to make us even more attached to the Creator and to turn to Him with requests more often.

Commandments are actions that bring the upper light upon us. Therefore, we should know which of our actions are considered commandments and which are simply actions that have no relation to the Creator and are called prohibitive.

Question: When do we begin to fulfill the commandments? Is it when we already acquire the screen?

Answer: No, even before acquiring the screen. Even if you do not know what a screen is, you can consider your actions toward a spiritual goal as commandments.

If our desires coincide with the desires of the Creator, then the upper light helps us perform spiritual actions.

We must bless the Creator for allowing us to evoke the upper light and, under its influence, get closer to Him. Blessing brings a person closer to the Creator as he is honored with greater fulfillment.

Question: How can I remain in implementation of the commandments so as not to fall into the mechanical implementation of some actions in our world?

Answer: Connect your heart to your actions. Do not be greedy thinking that you will waste it on others. On the contrary, in this case, it grows and expands.
