Question: Can envy harm a person on our spiritual path? In the corporeal world envy is very harmful. How can one envy you and friends in the correct way?

Answer: Envy is both a very good and a very bad property. It depends on how you use it. If envy encourages you, makes you advance fast and help others, then it is good envy. Use it.

Question: Still, how can one not do harm and how can one restrict the desire to envy so as not to corrupt a person’s path and life?

Answer: Envy in a way that you adopt good properties from your friends and use them for connection with them.

Question: There is a Creator on whom everything depends. There is a Creator whom we must know and feel after uniting in a group. And there is also a Creator who is inside a person. Is it all one Creator or different upper forces, each with its own purpose and potential?

Answer: We can count a thousand so-called Creators, but all these are His actions, not Himself.

There are no upper forces except the Creator. Everything that seems to be forces acting on us arises only to mislead us. There is no one besides Him.

A real place in spirituality is called “the place of reality” since anyone who comes there to that place sees the same shape as the other (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 98 “Spirituality Is Called That Which Will Never Be Lost”).

Comment: The article says that everyone who comes to this place sees the same form as the other. But we recently talked about the fact that everyone feels everything individually, in their own way.

My Response: It doesn’t matter. Just like in our world what you feel, you perceive individually. But, in principle, it is open to everyone.

Question: Let’s say we all see the table, does everyone experience it differently?

Answer: Of course in one’s own way, but we still perceive the same object. That is why it is said that there are 70 expressions. For each level, there are 70 faces of the Torah.

Question: What role does the ten play in individual comprehension?

Answer: You perceive spirituality in the Kli (vessel) created by your ten.

Question: Why with these precise friends and not with others?

Answer: This is determined by the Creator.

Question: Is it possible to feel the state of a friend only when we are together at the same level in spirituality?

Answer: No, not necessarily. If you strive to understand each other and connect with each other, then it is possible in specific connections.

Question: Rabash’s articles pull me to a state I am not yet at, but want to be. After this, when we begin sorting them out, the mind and the egoistic nature turn on and seek some kind of justification.

How can I make sure that the entire ten and I will catch up with the state of Rabash and the desire of the heart?

Answer: The fact that you feel the difference between your mind and your heart is already good. The fact that you can even control yourself is also very good.

Now, you just need to check whether you agree with your heart and mind and whether you can bring them closer to each other. Then, you will feel what is essential in them and what is secondary.

The bringing together of heart and mind depends on how one aligns oneself with the Creator, the group, and the teacher. And then it turns out that he can simultaneously work in both the heart and the mind.

Comment: The article “Rabbi Shimon’s Exit from the Cave” is, in principle, very difficult to understand, just like other articles in The Book of Zohar. But you say they should be read as a magical remedy, a segula.

My Response: A Segula is a certain property that unfolds as you use it. In other words, it is an action that affects you even if you read it without understanding anything. And you change according to what reveals to you.

Question: Suppose a person has read this article. How can he check what has changed in him?

Answer: From reading one article, he cannot do anything yet. But gradually, by reading The Book of Zohar and going through all the properties and circumstances described in it, he begins to feel changes within himself.

Question: For example, we talked about fear. Is there a way I can check if I have developed a fear of the Creator?

Answer: Yes. You can check to what extent you have thoughts about what is said in the Torah is true and worth following. For example, if you start experiencing fear that you will not be able to fulfill the main commandment of the Creator, “love your neighbor,” then this may be a criterion that the book is influencing you. And if the awe does not arise, it means something needs to be changed.

Question: Do we only need to be concerned with correcting desires, and the agreement of the heart will be the test?

Answer: Heart and desire are the same thing. If you check your desires, it means you check your heart.

Question: When I try to stay on the subject, I notice that I am failing hopelessly. Why?

Answer: To show you where you are. Therefore, this is good.

Question: We do not want to pray with our hearts because we fear losing. How can we stop being afraid of losing the feeling of this illusion, i.e., our egoistic life? Where is my ten in all this?

Answer: You need to find the ten. You need to feel the ten. You just need to adhere to the heart of your friends.

Question: It is said: “Do not judge a friend until you are in his place.” Does this mean that we should completely abandon the assessment of the actions of our friends? Or is it not worth dwelling on it? What should be our attitude to this?

Answer: The main thing for us is to take care of coming closer to a friend so we can understand him correctly. After that, we can do other actions.

Question: A prayer from the heart should be such that we are not afraid to lose all our egoistic desires. Why?

Answer: A person must be willing to lose all his egoistic desires to be able to connect with the ten. That should be his prayer.
