Question: How should we work with fear when we feel the presence of the Creator and His greatness makes us afraid of His actions?

Answer: There is no need to be afraid of the Creator. We need to check whether we are moving away from the right path, from the connection between us and the Creator, and ask Him to help us.

In order to be adhered to the Creator all day, you need to read more, listen, and discuss this topic with your friends.

Question: Rabash writes that we are always trying to escape from the work that the Creator has assigned to us. What kind of work am I trying to escape from and what should I do to ensure that I agree to it?

Answer: This is work in connection with friends, with all those who are outside the upper world. But you are ready to be connected with them and to provide them with everything that is missing for their elevation.

Comment: But I am always in tension, which makes me think about my friends and care for them. This internal pressure keeps pushing me away. I do not want to be in it all the time.

My Response: You have to get used to it.

Question: What does every place where there is a lack becomes a place of faith mean?

Answer: When a person lacks something and does not know how to achieve it, he turns to faith. In this case, a desire emerges inside him that develops to the level of similarity with the Creator.

Question: How is this lack formed in us? We unite in the ten, we strive for perfection, and it appears that our Kelim are growing all the time. How does this happen?

Answer: It happens under the influence of the upper light that affects us and expands our Kelim.

Question: I understand that at the time of the lesson I attract a miraculous property (Segula) that corrects me, but here I do not. How to find this indicator?

Answer: This is an internal feeling. There is no other way.

We need to rise spiritually to a level where we attract desires and the light that magnifies these desires, to the point where we can feel the entire universe within us.

Question: Our spiritual environment includes friends representing very different cultures and traditions. How do we learn to appreciate and accept all the richness and diversity correctly?

Answer: We are absolutely not interested in these cultures and traditions. Our interest lies solely in connection to become one person with one heart. That is what we want to feel above everything else without considering anything else.

Question: Can we examine the goals of each person at our meetings?

Answer: No, we must select one common goal that is most relevant for us today and pray for it.

Question: Why did the Creator give us the right environment and, in addition, the illusion of this world? What does He want?

Answer: He wants you to identify your spiritual desires, refine them within yourself, and pray for the Creator to answer them.

“Not all who want to take the Lord may come and take. This is why we need the righteous of the generation. By adhering to a real teacher, whose desire is only to bestow, and then one should do things that his teacher likes, meaning hate what his teacher hates and love what his teacher loves, then he can learn Torah that will not be a potion of death (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 245, “Prior to the Creation of the Newborn”).

Question: What does it mean to bring contentment to the teacher, and how does this manifest itself in the ten?

Answer: The teacher requires only one thing from you—to approach the Creator through the ten all the time. That is all. Do you want to be liked? Do this action, nothing else is needed.

Question: Baal HaSulam’s article in Shamati 248 says that “He who rushes—gains.” What is one who rushes?

Answer: A quick person is a person who wants to strengthen his or her actions in coming closer to others. He does not wait for his friend to love him but tries to be the first to love the friend, as it is said: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

The one who acts quickly, looking for ways to come closer to his friends, is always ahead.

Question: The sources say that the Creator is the first and the Creator is the last. Does my effort between the first and the last help in being quick?

Answer: Your work is to try to love your friends and the Creator with all your strength and desires.

Question: As a rule, the tightest connection between us occurs after some conflict or dislike for a friend. Can we provoke these states ourselves, or do we not need to do this?

Answer: No, in no case should you provoke anything negative.

Comment: But through kindness and love, the connection is somehow felt less.

My Response: I understand you. But to do this, you need to see that you still need to add kindness and love to your friends so that you may feel that you are getting closer to them.

Question: What could it be?

Answer: Kindness and love. Every minute, every day.

Question: Why is the process of our connection taking so long?

Answer: We constantly receive questions, answer them, come to prayers, and get closer and closer to the Creator. But still, it takes a lot of time because the distance between us and the Creator is great.

Question: What helped King David be at such a high level of emotions? We read his psalms every day. Feelings of this degree are simply unattainable.

Answer: That is why King David is considered the first king. All our prayers are from him. They all come from what he wrote.

Question: Do we meet with Klipot during the preparation period or only when we are on spiritual degrees?

Answer: Everything that prevents you from approaching the group and the Creator can be safely called Klipot (unclean forces).

Question: When you know the answer to your question, is it worth asking? Or should you wait until you have a question you do not have an answer to and only then ask?

Answer: If you think the question is worth for everyone to know and hear the answer, then ask.
