“And I will bless you in all that you do.” This is the meaning of “We will do and we will hear” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 940, “The Point in the Heart”).

Question: How do we transition from the level of “we will do and we will hear” to “we will do and we will see”? What gets added?

Answer: This depends on the people. The Creator sends us what He wants to convey, and it is up to us to determine on which level we will receive it—hearing or seeing.

We need to elevate ourselves to the level of vision, because vision is a perception in which there are no doubts. This is why witnesses to events are those who have seen something and can testify about it.

Hearing is also a high level, but it is not sufficient. To come into contact with the Creator, we must rise to the level of seeing.

Question: Does the Creator want us to be connected with Him every moment?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How can someone in the modern world, where we encounter various people and their desires, interact with them without disconnecting from the Creator throughout the day?

Answer: There are times when you cannot detach from something important or special, and in this way, such impressions accumulate within you.

Question: So is the only solution to shut yourself in a room with the teacher and friends and never leave?

Answer: No, that will not help either. That is artificial.

In general, you should indeed connect with friends and feel that you are up against the collective egoism and that it is essential to come together and overcome it in order to connect in a mutual desire to bestow.

Question: Should we eventually organize everything so that every person in the world ends up in a ten?

Answer: If we receive an order from above, we will act accordingly. In other words, if a feeling of the Creator’s will is revealed in us, we will have to fulfill it.

Question: How can we sanctify our vessels? What does that mean?

Answer: It means that the light gives them a greater desire for bestowal.

Question: What does it mean not to yearn for the light as a source of pleasure, but to yearn for it as the quality of bestowal?

Answer: Receiving energy from the light is different from enjoying the light.

Question: What does it mean to create a Kli of the ten?

Answer: In order to create a Kli of ten, ten people unite to form one desire that they strive to realize.

If they are fully aware of it and are in it, this common desire is called a ten.

By fulfilling the requirements of unification, they begin to feel each other and the Creator.

Question: We have daily meetings of the ten. How can we sum up our unity at the end of the meeting and draw some conclusions to reinforce the Kli?

Answer: Of course, you can meet every day and discuss, but overall, even two or three times a week is enough to share your impressions of unification with your friends, talk about new things you can reveal in it, and how to rise higher and higher in unity, closer to the Creator.

Question: If we renew ourselves daily and start from a clean slate, what is the correct prayer for everything that was, is, and will be? Or should we focus on the present moment and ask for corrections now?

Answer: When we speak of what was, is, and will be, it reflects our attitude to the Creator as the source of everything. But if we ask Him to change us at the present moment, then we are talking about our immediate, moment-by-moment connection, and we turn to Him with this request.

Question: What is more important: to pray for your longevity or for the connection with you not to be broken?

Answer: Do not pray for my longevity or connection with me, but for your connection within the group and with the Creator.

All creations in the world are many organs standing one atop the other, and when they are all corrected, they will truly become one body (Zohar for All, Toldot [Generations], “These Are the Generations of Isaac”).

Question: Is each ten an organ of the common Partzuf?

Answer: You could say that it is part of some organ.

Question: How can we become spiritual organs?

Answer: That is not your task. Your task is to strive for connection within your ten, then in your hundred, your thousand, and so on. In other words, keep ascending in your connection.

Question: What is a created being in the world?

Answer: A created being in the world is an individual desire to enjoy, to feel that you are alive, egoism.

The Creator created man, meaning a system consisting of many desires and subsystems, all of which are directed toward correcting themselves.

Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the recognition of evil within ourselves?

Answer: See that there is so much of it in you that you can’t do anything about it.

Comment: Sometimes I see that there is too much of it.

My Response: That is good. Suffer from it, hate it, and try to understand why the Creator made you the most egoistic one.

Question: Should we help our friends in the ten come to the recognition of evil?

Answer: You can, but very carefully; otherwise, you will be stealing from them.

Question: How do we avoid stealing from them?

Answer: Do not tell them what is bad or good about them.

Question: How can one stay focused on the source while suppressing one’s ego to achieve at least minimal contact?

Answer: It is by turning to the Creator and asking for the force of bestowal rather than the force of reception.

Question: I understand a prayer directed outside of me. We say, “Give me this, give me that.” But what should a  prayer “inside me” be? What is it?

Answer: Inside me is egoistic and outside me is altruistic, for the sake of others.

Question: Against the background of strength gained from the convention, I did not feel small; on the contrary, I felt like I was as great as our friends. Is it good to remain in such a state or should I humble myself a bit?

Answer: It is good to stay in that state. Do not be afraid to feel great. Just as a hen covers its eggs with its body to hatch them, you can act similarly toward others.

Question: What is the connection of the ten? Is it a process or an achievable result?

Answer: Connection is the only spiritual action. We can unite in tens, hundreds, or thousands, depending on the scale we are satisfied with.

It is a process of ascending the degrees of the spiritual ladder where we feel a constant elevation and revelation at each step of our connection with the Creator.

Question: Is our task before the congress is to reach some minimal degree of connection?

Answer: How it turns out depends on you.

Question: When will this happen? What do we need to go through and feel? How many hearts must be opened to achieve even a minimal result?

Answer: You can open your collective heart today; there are no limitations. As much as you desire, that much you will ascend in the qualities of bestowal, love, and connection.

Question: How can we drink coffee for the sake of bestowal when we are sitting in a lesson?

Answer: As you take a sip of coffee think that by doing so, you are passing on all the enjoyment you receive from that sip to your friend.

If you connect to your friend with your Kli (vessel), then everything you receive in that Kli is also received by your friend. Therefore, you direct your intention toward your friend.

In this process, the Creator serves as the source that fills both of you. By receiving from Him, you bring Him contentment.
