Question: I feel the hearts of my friends, but my heart is torn into pieces. I keep bumping into the wall of egoism when I try to open it. I feel terrible shame from the thought that if I open my heart, everyone will see that there is criticism, judgements, and all sorts of nonsense.

Answer: So what’s the big deal? First, the usual answer to this is: “Go to the Creator who created my heart this way, complain to Him.” Therefore, when a person reveals his bad heart, he should not be ashamed and hide.

He must try to rise up and ask the Creator to correct, in general, what the Creator Himself did. We have every right to turn to Him and demand that He correct our hearts.

The science of Kabbalah is built on the fact that we unite in asking and demanding correction. And the Creator initially says: “I created the evil inclination and gave the Torah to correct it.”

What does “the Torah to correct it” mean? This is the highest light that we can attract, and it will correct us; only it can do this. And our task is to discover our faults and evil, and ask the Creator for help. He specifically waits for us to beg Him because in this case we will draw closer to Him.

Everyone can ask the Creator, and He hears everyone, but we must push Him to action only from the group. There are thousands of people at the convention, and therefore, when you ask and speak, you connect with each other and unite in a common heart.

In ordinary life, we act in tens. And if the ten is united, it can influence the Creator so that He changes each of its friends. Good luck to you!

Question: In order to connect, Must we be equal in order to connect; will be not be to annul unless we are equal?

Answer: No, our unity does not depend on equality, it depends on accepting each other. The fact is there will never be equality between us.

Each of us is a unique individual, a separate organism with its own nervous system, mind, and feelings. There can only be equality if we make ourselves equal. We all have the same nature, the same goal, and in this respect we are equal.

As we progress, we become both more different and more equal. Egoism develops more and more in each of us; thus, we move away from each other. But everyone strives for the same goal, so we get closer and eventually become like one man with one heart.

Question: When Kabbalah speaks about the merging of two objects, does it mean integration with each friend or between each of us with the ten as the second object?

Answer: It is the adhesion of each one of us with a friend, the adhesion of each of us with the ten, the adhesion through my ten with other tens, and in general with everyone.

That is, there is multiple unification, multiplication, and combination of all our properties and desires that happen here. Then it turns out that we have a common vessel, a common desire, with common feelings where it is impossible even to understand where I am and where you are, where he is and where she is, and so on.

Everything merges together in one sphere, a sphere in which we see only one single force that created us, connected us, and brought us to it. We unite within this force without any difference between us. This is the connection of creation with the Creator.

Question: Do we connect and come to adhesion with each friend or with the ten?

Answer: You need to imagine the ten all the time and not break it down into individual friends, into individuals: this one is better or worse, this one is closer or farther from me. In no way you should do that.

Question: There is the force of the group. We know that if the friends do not pray for me, I will not rise. My spirit is lifted only by them thinking about me. That is how I use it. But what for?

Answer: In order to rise and pull them along with you; just like today maybe they are pulling you along with them. After all, everyone helps the other and thus we achieve the goal.

We must unite into one single system called Adam from which we all scattered by our egoism and return again to this single desire where everyone supports everyone, holds on and clings to each other, and thus unite in one heart. Then we will begin to feel only one force between us and around us—the Creator.

Question: Everything that happens in the tens means that the Creator is talking to us in this way. How do we learn to understand what He wants from us? By leading us either on the left line or on the right, what is He telling us in this way?

Answer: The Creator wants us to feel mutual love for each other within which we would prepare a place for Him so that He could be revealed in us. Our relationship of love for each other will be called Shechina—a place for the revelation of the Creator.

Everything that happens comes from our qualities, and therefore, we must change them to love, connection, and reciprocity.

The true reward is the power of bestowal for which I only lack a vessel, a desire, but the light is always there. That is, I only lack the desire to surrender to the Creator, and for this, I want to receive strength and intention.

I want to have the desire to rise to the right spiritual level and use my strength and intelligence correctly on it. And this is what I ask the Creator: give me the opportunities and strength that will help me build such a correct connection.

I want my desire to be more and more precisely directed towards the true goal, and for this goal to be more and more clearly visible to me as if manifesting itself from the fog.

The main thing is to receive the right desire, and then I will try to use it in the right form, that is, to turn to the Creator and ask for its realization. And the right desire is the one that leads me to unity with everyone, to one power of bestowal, within which I will reveal the Creator.

Question: When a friend sees a flaw in me and even starts talking to me about it, I understand that I am low in his eyes and he puts himself above me. I see this as a bad example on his part and a violation of the love of friends. How can I untangle it? How can we find a connection with the Creator here and relate everything to Him?

Answer: There is no need to untangle anything. You just need to move from your understanding of what Kabbalists write. Everything is going well. I do not see any problems. We just need more time and more desire to be connected with the Creator.

He sets up all this for us. We still have a lot of problems on the path, up to huge hatred between us.

There is no getting away from it. We will hate each other; we will be ready to kill each other. So it was written by the Kabbalists. This is how we will move forward. But the main thing is to still hold on to each other, despite the fact that there are such relationships.

We must understand that on one hand, the Creator reveals a special relationship between us: hatred, opposition, distancing. And on the other hand, no matter what, we must be in love with each other, although we are ready to kill each other.

This is how it is written about the ancient Kabbalistic disciples that when gathering together hated each other so much they were ready to kill each other. When they slowly began to enter their studies and attract the upper light on themselves, all this ended with the fact that they hugged and united in their hearts.

Therefore, in no case should we rely on what we feel today.

Question: My inner ten is in my heart, and I also want to bring everyone I meet at the convention into my heart and to keep them there. With what prayer for the group should I combine my inner work?

Answer: To unite all in one group as much as possible. No matter how many of you there are, five, ten, fifty, or a hundred people, no matter how many, you should not limit yourself in this. Everyone who wants to join each other during the convention can be together.

Question: What should we ask for the group at this time?

Answer: Connection of everyone into one single heart without any differences between us.
