Question: What are the “vessels of the Egyptians?”

Answer: They are egoistic desires in their purest form. The golden vessels symbolize the degree of Behina Dalet, the silver ones symbolize Behina Gimel.

Question: We are learning that I should rise above my egoistic desires as much as possible, not use them, and unite with my friends. What does it mean that I borrow these desires from the Egyptians?

Answer: You ask the Egyptians for desires and intentions to bestow, and you use the little light they have.

You use it in your egoistic desires that go through the stage of recognition of evil, your oppositeness to the Creator. Thus, you begin to rise above egoism by gradually rejecting it. This is when your exit from Egypt begins.

Question: The vessels the children of Israel borrow from the Egyptians, do they bring them along into the desert, or do they later bring them into the land of Israel?

Answer: These are very good Kelim (vessels); they keep them. Later, at each stage, we can delve into what happens to them.

Question: The symbol of the Exodus from Egypt is Matza. Why is it necessary to consume Matza during Passover?

Answer: Matza is unleavened bread that is made in a special way with minimal water needed to make leaven. Then it is baked simply over coals or on a hot pan; it does not matter what it is baked on.

Matza is baked in remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt and symbolizes our swift transition from the desire to receive to the desire to bestow. It happens unexpectedly, suddenly, in what seems like the most inappropriate place and time for a person.

There is an accumulating process, accumulation, and a person breaks free from the grip of egoism. This is called the Exodus from Egypt.

Question: So, does a person not expect this exodus?

Answer: They are always expecting it, but they do not know that it is approaching. When it really happens to them, they do not understand how it suddenly came about. But someday, it will happen to everyone.

Question: Which is more important: to be happy with the revelation of evil or to ask for a way out of Egypt?

Answer: The joy of revealing evil is not yet a finished action. And the request to leave Egypt is already a more conscious state.

The children of Israel cried out to the Creator to bring them out of Egypt. At the same time their similarity to Him was that they wanted to get out of their state and achieve the opposite: liberation from egoism.

Question: If we feel bad and we try to escape from this place, does it also come from the ego?

Answer: A place is a desire. We try to escape from egoistic desire, to make efforts, and to ask the Creator to help us do this. To our weak efforts, like those of a small child, the Creator gives His help, and then our efforts turn into action. This is how we ascend the steps of the spiritual ladder to the Creator.

Question: We are required to awaken from below. Is there anything special about Purim that we still need to do?

Answer: We do not need anything other than connection. The Creator created the desire to receive and shattered it into many parts. And we need to gather them so that they become like one person with one desire.

All these parts are in us. We are broken parts, so our desire to unite leads us to a state of correction.
We must constantly turn to the Creator with a request that He unite us into one common whole.

And when He does, we will have the opportunity to ask Him to fill our common desire with the upper light. This state will be called Purim.

Question: How can we feel the love of the Creator and the love of the Creator for us through love of friends?

Answer: We cannot feel the love of the Creator so easily and quickly come to states of coming closer or moving away from Him. This is all attained gradually. Just like in our world when we get to know someone, it is only after we get used to each other that states of closer or more distant arise between us, and so on.

Therefore, first we need to study Kabbalistic articles that talk about connection between the friends in the group, and then about the connection of the group with the Creator. These are the two most necessary steps for everyone, both women and men. Without this we will not begin to feel the upper world that is above us and controls us without our feeling it.

And in order to feel it, to feel the Creator who controls us through it, we need to be in good, kind connection with each other. This is our main task.

Question: We have come, we have made efforts, and each of us wants to fulfill some kind of spiritual desire. How can we still feel any fulfillment through these small efforts? And what can they manifest themselves in right now?

Answer: It takes time, a lot of time, but gradually, more and more, we will begin to understand what forces we are dealing with, what the form of our connection is, and begin to feel it. This will lead us to our friends and to the Creator, and everything will connect together.

Question: When we walk together on the path, what is our roadmap to stay on it without deviating?

Answer: Your roadmap is your increasingly warm attitude toward your friends and their increasingly warm attitude toward the Creator. You just need to open your heart, warm it from within more and more, and get used to living like this.

Question: What form of our connection can provide nourishment to the world?

Answer: By uniting as one person with one heart, we fully connect to the Creator and can receive everything we need from Him.

Question: How can we avoid being stubborn donkeys in the field?

Answer: Hold onto your friends and ask the Creator. It seems simple, but it is difficult to implement.

Question: If the ten connects correctly, the next state should be better than the previous one. How can we evaluate this correctly?

Answer: The state may be higher, but whether it is negative or positive depends on the individual, on what level they should be, and how they should realize this degree.

Question: How can we influence all people from within ourselves without going out to the people?

Answer: We can achieve this only if we can raise our prayer to the Creator.

Question: What kind of prayer?

Answer: That is what we need to figure out so that our prayer is so unified that it can ascend to the Creator. In this way, we implore Him to fulfill our desire.

What do we turn to the Creator with? To reveal among us what we need. And this is not just a matter of words, but it is an urgent need.

Question: How can you understand the extent of your evil and ask for the measure of its correction; how can you get out of this state?

Answer: To the extent that we can reveal egoism in ourselves, we can ask the Creator to correct it. Otherwise, it will be a request for something empty.

Therefore, we must work on ourselves, our desires, and our relationship with our friends to feel how much we are at the mercy of egoism. And then ask the Creator to take us out from under the power of the ego. That is called the way out of the Egyptian exile.

Question: Is there a point of no return to the ego? I do not want to return to egoism again.

Answer: There is no point of no return. Together, we must ask the Creator for one thing: to rise from egoism to Him. It is only through our prayers that He will give us more strength so we can resist our ego.

Question: If I am aware of my egoism and lowliness and want to connect with my friends, is this enough to get out of Egypt?

Answer: No, you must feel that you are in Egypt, in egoism, and cannot break free from it.

Question: What should you do when you find yourself in selfish pleasure and realize you have no aversion to it?

Answer: You need to keep working. You already have an awareness of being in egoism, but have no aversion to it yet. Recognition of evil is when you feel you are in it, but you still agree to it.

Question: How can the entire world group come out of exile correctly?

Answer: According to your desire, to the extent that you unite with your friends and together want to eliminate the force of evil, the Pharaoh, who always draws you back to Egypt, to your egoism, to the desire to receive, to that extent you can gradually, over some time, reach a state where the force of the Pharaoh disappears.

Question: Does staying in exile necessarily have to be a prolonged process? Can we make it fast or even instantaneous?

Answer: One cannot predict how quickly or slowly the exit from the egoistic state will be. It depends on your reaction.

Everything that happens to us is done by the Creator. You must react and work together on your response to the Creator.
