Question: How can we help our friends on the spiritual path?

Answer: In principle, this help should be mutual since we can only attain the spiritual world if we unite into one group. When we help our friends, we help ourselves.

If several people, not necessarily ten, unite with each other, they correct their egoism. The Creator specifically created the ego, which distances us from each other so that we can try to be attracted to each other and form a single system.

We cannot completely unite because each of us is an individual egoist. Still, we can, despite our egoism, make a restriction on ourselves, not use the ego, and create altruistic connections between us.

That is, we remain egoists within ourselves, and between us we form altruistic relationships, even love.

If we gather together in such a system in which there are many egoists closed within themselves, but they try to unite with good forces, then the surrounding light of the Creator acts on them and unites them into a structure called the soul or Adam since it becomes bestowing like the Creator. That is the state we need to achieve.

Question: Every day in the ten’s prayers we praise the Creator and believe that He is good and does good. We annul ourselves and want to serve Him. Is this considered spiritual attainment?

Answer: This is not yet a spiritual attainment, but it is a certain spiritual force that you strive for and accumulate among you in your connections. Ultimately it will turn into a powerful collective force that will push you out of egoism.

Question: Is our task not to try to solve anything ourselves but to once again ask the Creator to come closer to us and thereby accept any of His decisions?

Answer: Our work comes down to the fact that we want to be connected to the Creator, to adhere to Him, and that is it. After all, any other action would always be incomplete and imperfect except for the one that leads us to adhere to the Creator.

Therefore, we need to think about it, which is the easiest thing because we should not interfere with the Creator’s care for us.

Question: How do we interfere with Him taking care of us?

Answer: Perhaps with your wrong requests.

We must always strive to be as close to each other as possible, to help each other as much as possible, and to imagine as much as possible that we are in a continuous and great connection with each other. And to the extent of the quality of this connection, we can reveal the Creator. Attaining the Creator is our most significant task—something that the world lacks so much.

As a result, we will reveal the Creator to the whole world and thereby give Him maximum pleasure, since His property of good that does good is revealed to both sinners and righteous. Then the entire world Kli will be filled with the light of the Creator.

Question: Can we take our desire, which we wish to use for the Creator, and apply it to the group? By channeling this desire toward the group, can we bring contentment to the Creator by doing it for Him?

Answer: Don’t you have your own desires?

Comment: All my desires are for the group.

My Response: Then you should proceed in that way. Channel all your desires toward your friends and connect with their calculations and intentions so that all your impulses are solely for them.

Comment: It seems to me that we lack focus on the Creator. The group is near, we see it, and we feel it. If we do something for it, we bring contentment to the Creator through that.

My Response: Wonderful! I agree with you.

If you have been practicing the Torah Lo Lishma for more than three years, as Rabbi Yosi says, and five years, as the Tana Kama says, then the Braita warns you that you will not see a good sign in this path you are treading! (Baal HaSulam, Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sefirot)

Question: Is it correct to tie the study of Kabbalah to a specific timeframe?

Answer: The group (the “ten“) is obligated to set certain goals for its development. Therefore, regardless of the timeframes indicated by the Kabbalists—whether it takes three years, ten years, five years, or fifteen years—you must still feel where you are.

Question: How should we formulate this goal for ourselves?

Answer: As it is written, the best is to see a good sign in the work within three or at most five years. If we do everything required of us, within this time we will achieve within our ten the revelation of the Torah, the Creator, and the spiritual path.

Question: How can we tell if our ten has reached this point?

Answer: You will start to feel this as you move forward. Just as when driving a car, the road opens up before you, so too, the path will be revealed to you gradually.

Question: At the convention, we always experience a spiritual ascent, after which I feel confident that I will regularly attend lessons, disseminate, write articles, and edit texts—do everything. Of course, this is a temporary state. How can I use this feeling without getting stuck in thoughts about myself?

Should I take this responsibility upon myself first, or should I think about my friends, and ensure that they have the strength to do the same? How can I avoid disappearing until the next convention?

Answer: If you disappear until the next convention, you will just become an auditor who arrives only to attend, observe, and listen—nothing more. The most important work is the daily effort between conventions, in order for you to regret such a state’s existence.

To return to a passive state after the convention is much worse than if you had not attended at all. You came, you connected, you filled yourself, and then you left, which spilled it all out. You did not add anything to yourself or others; it is a complete loss. Beware of this state. Life may end with a more negative balance than when you began.

If there is no dissemination, then all of it is in vain! Look at what Baal HaSulam, Rabash, and all the great Kabbalists write about this.

You were chosen, not to sit and listen to the teacher’s beautiful words, but to bring the world to correction. If you are not doing that, it is better to do nothing at all. Go and rest. I am speaking seriously.

You cannot imagine what will happen to a person who has received an attraction from above in order to bring the Creator’s will into the world through them, and they do not fulfill it. It is said about this: “It would have been better for them not to have been born at all.”

Question: Sometimes you say that the Creator does not exist, that He can only be revealed in bestowal and good relations between us. So to whom do we pray if the Creator has not yet been revealed?

Answer: It does not matter that the Creator has not been revealed relative to us. We simply ask Him to understand us, come closer to us, and bring us closer to Him.

Question: How can we feel the Creator’s desire toward us at every moment?

Answer: For this one must strive to be in bestowal toward the Creator. Then, through the equivalence of form, you will sense His attitude toward you. Through His response, you will feel that you have made the right step toward Him. And to always be ready for the Creator’s response, we must consistently and clearly approach Him, and not leave it from time to time, but continuously gain strength of pressure on the Creator, strength of drawing closer to Him.

Question: You said that when we manage to connect with the light and open our hearts, it is the right time to demand to work instead of our friends. What is this work instead of the friends?

Answer: Working instead of the friends means that you can take on the tasks that lie before them and solve them yourself.

Question: When I take on a friend’s task, does that change the direction of the work for the entire ten?

Answer: If you change the goal, gather your strength, and act in a new direction, then you indeed change the overall direction.

Question: How can you work with pain correctly when it is so strong that you simply cannot do anything?

Answer: There are states when pain and loss are so intense that a person cannot rise above them to the correct appeal to the Creator.

Nothing can be done; you must gradually change yourself and strive for another feeling of the Creator, to move from “What is He doing to me?” to the state where you can ask Him for correction.

Question: If a person feels that he is spiritually ill, but does not know what exactly the problem is, should he analyze his condition or immediately turn to the Creator without trying to clarify it?

Answer: You must first find out why this is happening and what your problem is. Then you will see how you should solve it by getting closer to the Creator, making a greater effort in your studies, or being more connected in the group. In this way, you can heal yourself.
