Question: How do we reveal the Kli to hear the prayer in the ten?

Answer: The more connected you are between yourselves, the more you reveal your connection with the Creator. The work itself is very simple. You just need to strive for unification between you and through that to connection with the Creator every second.

Question: When you lose connection with your friends, your mind tells you that you need to pray for them, but your heart is not ready yet. You want to bestow to them, but you have no strength. At this time should a person ask for the strength to bestow or still to unite with his friends?

Answer: You should still unite with your friends. There is no escape from this. There should be a ten from which we turn to the Creator, ask Him for connection with Him, and He answers us in the same ten.

The ten is our “telephone” through which we talk with the Creator.

Question: I ask the Creator to fill the void, to answer, and He gives the answer. And I understand that I got it, but my ego says, “No, I don’t agree.” What should be done in this situation?

Answer: You have to put some pressure on your ego to agree with the group.

Question: How can I ask the Creator to give me internal agreement with Him, the opportunity to crush myself?

Answer: Write down the answer that you don’t like or don’t understand, turn to the group, and turn to the Creator until you solve this problem. Only when you agree with the answer will you get a clear idea of what the Creator is giving you.

Question: Why did the Creator make the qualities of Israel weaker than the qualities of the 70 nations of the world?

Answer: It is in order for us to turn to Him and ask for correction.

Question: Couldn’t they have been made on equal terms so that there would be some choice?

Answer: I don’t see much difference between Israel and other nations on the earthly degree. This difference is clearly expressed only in spirituality.

There may be a difference in our world, but you can’t say that someone is weaker or worse. It’s not important. Every nation has its own privileges.

Question: We once received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and after the destruction of the Second Temple we lost it. Can the same thing happen now? How do we not lose the Torah?

Answer: It was not the loss of the Torah, but the shattering of the common soul.

This happened because we were using the laws of the Torah incorrectly. But as soon as we unite, these laws will come to life within us again.

Question: In a ten that is studying Kabbalah, it is important to bestow, cancel oneself, elevate the Creator and the group, and not expect praise from others. Because if people around you praise you, it is not so much out of respect, but for the sake of encouraging your ego.

Why do we need the praise of others? On the contrary, we need to learn how to bestow to the Creator and to the friends.

Answer: That is right. Therefore you are given a state that you must reject and push away from yourself, and do what is dear to the Creator.

Question: When we praise a friend for some contribution on our path, it seems as if we create an obstacle to his modesty. But if we do not praise him, it is as if we humiliate him and ignore him. How can we work correctly with praise in our community?

Answer: You have to appreciate every friend, even if you are 100% right and he is not. You walk together and help each other in any possible way. Sometimes you help him, sometimes it is the other way around. Therefore, it is necessary to respect, love, and appreciate all the friends.

Question: Can we praise them?

Answer: You need to praise everyone all the time.

Question: How can we not feel humble in the ten while practicing humility so that it does not become a cause of pride?

Answer: I should check myself whether I am humble enough to be proud of it already.

Question: But these are mutually opposite things: humbleness and pride. How will they coexist together?

Answer: Everything coexists in a person. This is a creature that combines everything.

Question: What does it mean to be indebted to the Creator?

Answer: It means feeling that we should do only what the Creator wants.

Question: If a person feels the benevolence of the Creator and he has a desire to invest more in the group and to read the sources, is it out of egoism or to bestow to the Creator?

Answer: It is unknown. First, he must rise above himself, try to do an above-egoistic action against his will, and then he will be able to figure it out.

Question: How can a Kabbalist see all others on a better degree if he himself is on a higher degree relative to them?

Answer: Kabbalists see others as better because they work in bestowal. For them, the whole world is people who strive for the Creator, only they add themselves to this kind of people in last place. They justify the whole world, the Creator, and not themselves very much.

A real Kabbalist truly sees the degrees of other people, especially those below him. But he annuls himself, minimizes himself, and makes himself equal with them. In general, there are many ways of spiritual work here.
