Question: What is the difference between restricting and annulling yourself?

Answer: Restricting egoistic desires or annulling oneself is the same thing.

Question: How can you work in the group with the Sitra Achra (egoism)? Is it possible to scrutinize my states in the ten if I do not have this perception and have doubts?

Answer: You will not scrutinize it anywhere except in the ten, only in the ten.

Question: What does it mean to accept all the degrees that exist in the world?

Answer: Everything that comes to me I must return to the Creator.

Question: At our root in the Creator’s plan to delight His creations, there are degrees of creating the desire to receive, active and actuated, shattering and correction, work and reward. If we are to be like our root, is it necessary to be aware of these degrees and realize every desire according to them?

Answer: As far as we understand them, we are realizing them. The main thing is that we should be like those influences of the Creator we will receive.

Question: What are we missing in developing hatred of egoism?

Answer: Seeing how much egoism prevents you from achieving the best possible degrees.

Question: What should I do if I want to engage in Kabbalah, but do not have the strength to work in a group? There is a feeling that the group is more interested in material things than spiritual ones. I do not know how to change this perception; therefore, I feel I am distancing myself from Kabbalah and the group.

Answer: That is incorrect. You should talk to someone in the group about it. They will tell you whether they agree with your assessment or not.

Question: What if there are friends who also feel the same way?

Answer: You need to talk to everyone together in the ten and stop the descent.

Question: Is this the group’s downfall or just mine?

Answer: No, it could be a descent of the group.

Question: What does it mean that a person corrects the inner body and reveals the NRN of Nefesh of the world of Assiya? Are these some degrees of connection?

Answer: A person corrects his or her desires, which first rise to the level of the world of Assiya, then to the level of the world of Yetzira, then to the level of the world of Beriya, and the world of Atzilut. There are four degrees before us that we must climb.

This correction occurs in connection in the ten, when you discover the Creator, the light, inside your unity with the friends.

Question: How does a person understand that now he or she has risen to the degree of the world of Assiya and not just experiencing a feeling of connection with one’s friends?

Answer: At the level of the world of Assiya, a person still does not understand this. One must ascend to Yetzira and Beriya. At the level of the world of Beriya, a person comes to understand where one is and what is happening to him or her. Then comes the world of Atzilut.

Question: Do these degrees have anything to do with the connection between friends? What is added in these details: Assiya, Yetzira, Beriya? Is this some kind of connection density?

Answer: Yes, it adds a feeling of unity with friends and the ability to hold the light in their connection.

Question: What should our thoughts be focused on to come to study the Torah, as it is said, day and night?

Answer: To do this you need to understand that everything that happens in us that arises in our thoughts and desires comes from the Creator, and we must only react correctly to this.

Question: If all thoughts and intentions are from the Creator, then the prayer given to me is also from Him. At all points I connect myself with Him. How can I outsmart and persuade Him to reveal Himself?

Answer: Beg, do not persuade or somehow deceive. Just ask, that is precisely where your freewill lies.
