If his friend is number one, and the zero follows it, it is considered that one receives from his friend ten (10) times more. And if he says that he is double zero compared to his friend, he receives from his friend a hundred (100) times more (Rabash, Articles, 7, “According to What Is Explained Concerning “Love Thy Friend as Thyself”).

Question: There is a power of annulment in front of a friend by one zero and a power of annulment in front of a friend by two zeros. What is the difference in the power of annulment?

Answer: For each person there are different criteria in accordance with the root of his soul. Therefore, I cannot say what the power of your property of bestowal and love should be so that you can rise to the first level, to the second, to the third one.

A person who does not possess these properties cannot try them on for himself. You should understand that you will attain all this as a result of continuous work among yourselves in the ten when you try to treat your friends as it is written in the primary sources, and your friends will treat you in exactly the same way.

It is precisely with this technique that you will begin to master the spiritual levels, understand what is on them, and rise quickly.

Question: How can we work only on the part of Adam’s soul that is in us?

Answer: Each of us receives a portion of the part of Adam HaRishon that is in us that we have already corrected. What is still uncorrected is also within us. This is what we are doing.

The most important thing for us is to come together, both men and women, as one common whole. Through this, we can begin to feel the piece of Adam within us.

Question: How can we not miss the opportunity at this convention to connect all the parts into one soul?

Answer: This is what we are doing. It is not a matter of ordinary human interaction. We must come close to one another in our senses and realize that through our feelings we can connect to such a degree that we feel our source, the source from which we descended. Through this, each will correct their individual and our collective soul, which will allow us to feel the upper world more and more.

Question: How can we understand that we are progressing on the path of connection? Could it be that what is happening to us is just a game of egoism?

Answer: If, from time to time, we ask the Creator for help in rising above egoism and something is accomplished, it means we are moving forward.

Question: How can we attain faith above reason like you and our great teachers? What should we do to achieve this?

Answer: This comes with time and is contrary to what you desire. It will all come.

Question: What does “a moment of holiness” or “being in a moment of holiness” mean?

Answer: It is a connection with the Creator. The Creator is holy, meaning He exists only in the desire to bestow. Therefore, those who have such a desire or are approaching it are called holy.

Question: How can one achieve the state of one united soul?

Answer: This is our task. Therefore, the most important commandment given to us from above is to love your neighbor as yourself. Then you will feel your connection with everyone else. And to the extent that you unite with others, the light of the Creator will shine in you more and more.

Question: By constantly connecting with the field of unity, how can one avoid falling into the material world?

Answer: It is possible that you will not be able to hold on. Most likely, you will experience multiple descents. But at the same time, you will ask for the strength to rise and unite again. And this is how you will continually correct yourself.

Recognition of evil is a state where you cannot stand your egoistic nature and are ready to do anything to get rid of it.

However, this is not your entire ego; it is only the part that is currently revealed. Still, its recognition awakens a deep hatred toward it.

If you feel you are evil, understand how you genuinely relate to others, the world, people, and ultimately to the Creator, and desire to rise above your egoistic problems. This is the essence of healing from egoism.

Question: Is complete annulment before the friends and the Rav a cure for the evil inclination?

Answer: Not entirely, you must feel your illness and realize that you want to get rid of it. For this, you need to change your attitude toward your friends and the Creator from negative to positive. Then everything will be corrected, and you will feel how the world changes.

Question: Will we create a Temple for the light of the Creator to enter at the Congress?

Answer: Yes, this is what we want. It is why we gather—to create a unified desire between us in which there will be no transition from one to the other, but everything will be one.

Then in this unified desire, the Creator can be revealed. This is what we need.

Question: What ensures that a ten in mutual integration can carry out the work that the Creator expects from them?

Answer: A corrected ten is one that operates as a single entity. In it, each person fulfills their role, supports one another, and helps everyone reach their maximum capacity to integrate with each other.

This ten is constantly in a state of asking the Creator to give them more light for growth. By absorbing this light, they grow and draw closer to the Creator.

Question: We are at the finish line coming to the convention. Tens are working to their limit if I can put it that way. What is more important at this point: to connect strongly or to ask the Creator to connect us?

Answer: When do you think you will be able to achieve connection?

Comment: When we ask Him together.

My Response: That is exactly what needs to be done.

Comment: So it is essentially one action made up of two parts. Our goal is to connect, but we cannot do it on our own, so a prayer to Him arises.

My Response: Yes, you do so every day until you see that you are connected.

Question: Will the Creator let us know?

Answer: Of course.

For this reason, at the time of the giving of the Torah, when they had no doubt that this was the voice of the Creator, it is called “seeing,” as it is written, “I and you shall have no [other Gods], we heard from the mouth of the Creator” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 940, “The Point in the Heart”).

Gevura is the force of the Creator with which He influences us so that we receive strength from Him and can become bestowers.

This is an anti-egoistic force because the Creator is 100% anti-egoist. If we receive a little of this force from Him, we will also become anti-egoists to some extent, and to this extent we will be able to feel the upper world, the Creator, everything: infinity, eternity, perfection. Everything that is impossible to attain in egoism.

Question: At what point do we receive this force and begin to feel it?

Answer: Every day you advance a little. But for now, you do not feel it, like a newborn child who is growing but does not know that he is growing and only afterward begins to realize it more and more.

Question: How can we receive this force now at the congress? I really want to enter these sensations.

Answer: I understand you, but it is not easy. You must be so devoted to your friends so that the connection with them, and through them the connection with the Creator, becomes the most important thing in your life. You must take care that they succeed. Here you will have to open your heart and knead it a little to make it softer.

While he was imparted the desire and thought to at least occasionally do holy work, even in the simplest possible way, if one can appreciate the importance of this, according to the importance one attributes to the holy work, to that extent he should give praise and thanks for it (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 26, “One’s Future Depends and Is Tied to Gratitude for the Past”).

Question: It seemed to me that the convention was conducted on a much lighter note compared to previous ones. It felt like we didn’t exert ourselves as much; there weren’t deep clarifications during the lessons, although from the first moments, a pressure from above was felt.

After the convention, a dense cloud of pleasure descended upon us. It’s unclear whether we deserved it or if it’s an advance that still needs to be earned.

Answer: No, you don’t need to “earn” it; you deserved it. You made a great effort to come, and it wasn’t easy to physically get here. Therefore, all of this was well earned by you.

I am confident that we will begin to better understand our mutual connection and ascend higher and higher on the rungs of the ladder leading upward.

Question: In fact, I want to express deep gratitude for such a powerful convention. Can this gratitude be strengthened by analyzing everything we’ve gone through, or does it come naturally through feelings?

Answer: I believe it is gratitude for the past, present, and future. Baal HaSulam writes that a person says to the Creator, “I thank You for all Your mercy toward me,” meaning for the past. And thanks to this, they can immediately say with confidence, “And for all that You will do for me in the future!”

In other words, a person is grateful to the Creator for everything He has done for them in the past, and for everything He will continue to do from this moment onward. There is no doubt that we will feel the Creator’s benevolent attitude toward us.
