Question: What does it mean to enjoy the taste in the Torah?

Answer: This means that a person can be filled with the Torah and thus expand their Kelim, their inner feelings.

You should really try to define all your actions through taste. That is what it says: “Taste and see how good the Lord is.”

You should feel any of your actions as if by their taste, for your own sake or for the sake of the Creator, tasty or tasteless, how much, and so on.

Question: The Torah is called the state of perfection. What is the state of perfection and how can it be achieved in the ten, in the connections between us?

Answer: It is precisely in the connections between you that the state of perfection can be achieved.

When you unite more and more, then in connection with each other, you create a place where you can discover everything that the Creator wants to give you.

Question: How are the concepts of awe and love related?

Answer: Sometimes they complement each other and sometimes cancel each other out. We need to examine this.

Question: Are such states signs of falling into egoism or normal dynamics?

Answer: This is a general dynamic, not a backward movement. We must go through ascents and descents because that is the only way we move forward.

Question: What is primary: awe or love?

Answer: Love.

Question: Do both qualities manifest equally in the Torah and the work?

Answer: Mostly in the Torah.

Question: Regarding the property of love for the Torah and for the Creator, does love include the property of fear?

Answer: They touch in some ways, but not necessarily. Love can extinguish any fear.

Question: You said one does not need to stand out among friends, but rather should go along with everyone. But then, how can one give an example to others?

Answer: If you do it for the sake of example, then it is another matter.

Question: How can a person help himself when the Creator disconnects him from spirituality?

Answer: The Creator does not disconnect anyone. By this feeling, He demands prayer from a person.

Question: Our main work in the Torah is morning lessons. Lately, after reading the article, you are asking what our impression is. What do you want to clarify by this?

Answer: Each article talks about something different. I want you to react to it or at least to some of its features.

Spiritual reality does not depend on time and space; it does not change; everything depends on the person attaining it. This is how it differs from material reality.

Every spiritual picture or form that we attain lives and exists forever. After all, concepts such as time, place, movement, and change do not apply to it.

We cannot even imagine how this can happen without changes. After all, we are talking about different spiritual states that we experience, and we do not understand how it is possible that nothing changes in spiritual reality.

In fact, the spiritual remains the same, but our attainment of the spiritual is constantly improving.

Man is made of three bodies:
    A) the inner body, which is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha [holiness];
    B) the Klipa [shell] of Noga;
    C) the serpent’s skin (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 36, What Are the Three Bodies in Man?).

Question: Is the inner strength the total strength of the ten?

Answer: If you can do that, then it is good.

Question: Do we need the other two bodies to strengthen the connection?

Answer: No, we strengthen the bond only through our common body. And the other two—the Klipat Noga and the outer body (snake skin)—are needed only in order to push of them to the right choice. And then we drag them into a positive connection and start using them for the sake of holiness.

Question: If thoughts are more important than actions, then where do they come from, from the inner body, holiness, from the Klipat Noga, or from both mixed up?

Answer: From everything together. As a rule, confusing thoughts come to us, and we have to sort them out and follow only the right choice. You should try to deal with these three bodies and always feel which one you are working with.

Basically, you always need to reach out to the right line, to the inner body, where you are most connected to each other.

Question: In Baal HaSulam’s article, “Two Discernments in the Torah and in the Work” (Shamati 45), it is written that wisdom is revealed in both the mind and the feeling. What is this wisdom that is revealed in feeling?

Answer: There is wisdom in feelings and rational wisdom. Sometimes we get an awareness of something from feeling and sometimes from the mind. Therefore, it can be both.

There are people who are more inclined to perceive the world in feelings, and there are people who are inclined to perceive it in the mind. And then it all balances out. After all, we exchange thoughts and feelings between us in the group and gradually become a common quality that is already shared by everyone.

Question: You said that the true judgment is the middle line. At our degree of development, is it possible to come to the middle line to become a true judge of oneself? Was the article “What Does It Mean that a Judge Must Judge Absolutely Truthfully, in the Work?” written for Kabbalists or people like us?

Answer: Of course it is written for special people, Kabbalists, who correctly combine the right and left lines, and thus come to the middle line.

Question: At our degree of development, will we have the opportunity to work in the middle line?

Answer: Yes, this is our goal.

Question: How can you come to the middle line and judge yourself in the true form?

Answer: If we include all the forces of nature and accept them as coming from the Creator, then we eventually come to this.

Question: How can you help yourself when you get trapped in your mind and thoughts paralyze you?

Answer: Go above the feelings and reason despite yourself.

Question: The world was created with one thought, and we must also become one thought. What is this thought that we should become?

Answer: It is the absolute connection of all creations in one desire and one goal.

Question: It is said that when a person is honored to feel the taste of the Torah and the commandments, he pursues the service of the Creator. In this case, how can he not get into a situation where his pride and he himself are at the top of the climb? What can be called a genuine ascent?

Answer: When he does it only to bring contentment to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean that our soul teaches us in the ten? How do we enter into this system?

Answer: Connect everyone and constantly increase unity. Then you will begin to feel what faith above reason means.

Question: In the Shamati article “Receiving in order to Bestow ” it says that we should value the state of reason because we are now honored to reveal His names to attract the upper abundance. What is the correct acceptance of the revelation of the Creator’s names? For whom and for what do we draw the upper abundance?

Answer: We wish the upper abundance to be revealed to everyone, that is, the names of the Creator, His manifestations, because that way the whole world will experience the greatness of the Creator.

Question: Are we figuring out what joy is and what kind of joy should be given to our friends for them to enjoy our connection?

Answer: Yes, respect your friends more, raise them, and you will see how they come closer to you with greater joy.
