Question: What can I bestow to the Creator in a state of enjoyment and a state of descent?

Answer: Whatever you feel, that is what you should bestow.

Question: When outwardly it seems that a friend cannot overcome some obstacle for many years and does not genuinely ask the ten for help, how can this state be identified?

Answer: It is difficult. Everything goes through the Creator; everything comes from Him. You need to ask Him to clarify your state for you.

Question: Do we need to chew over our descents to feel and experience them deeply?

Answer: No, not as much as you think. You should not dwell on, worry about, and chew over descents. The main thing is to get out of these states as quickly as possible.

Question: What can help us avoid falling into self-indulgence when we are in ascent and positive states from our connection with the Creator?

Answer: It is only if you support each other together.

Question: How is a new vessel of bestowal built during an ascent?

Answer: As I rise, I constantly check myself to see how much more I can bestow to the Creator.

Question: When we are in ascent, it is as if the Creator pushes us down, and when we are in a descent, the body says, “Why continue working in this state?” How can we maintain balance and connection with the Creator in these calculations?

Answer: For this you need to constantly stay connected with your friends so that your connection with the Creator is maintained through your unity, and then you will not go wrong.

Question: When you were studying with Rabash and had certain complaints toward him, he would say: “Why didn’t you ask?” Is it the same request every time? Or does it change? What did he mean when he asked you that?

Answer: He meant that one must always turn to the Creator but only after properly clarifying the issue. That is, when I want to achieve such a connection with my friends that the Creator is revealed within it and by doing so I will give Him contentment because He desires to dwell within and fill the creation with everything He has.

This state is compared either to the suffering of a cow bursting from excess of milk, eager to give to everyone but no one is taking, or to the agony of a woman in labor who wants to give birth, but the moment of birth has not yet come.

Such a state is very intense. It is an inner state that the Creator experiences because the desire to bestow is much stronger than the desire to receive.

We need to imagine this state of His and prepare ourselves to ask, not because we want it, but because He needs it.

Question: Can there be a state where we feel a strong connection with the Creator but simultaneously feel a sense of lack?

Answer: Yes, that can happen.

Question: How can this state be characterized? As a preparation for the next leap forward?

Answer: It does not matter, even if you cannot explain it. Do you truly understand the inner forces at work in such a state? The main thing is that we remain constantly directed toward the Creator through our connection with the friends.

Question: When we unite with friends from other groups, we feel the emergence of new connections, and due to the growth of egoism, some resistance arises. How can we understand what the Creator is pointing out to us now?

Answer: This can only be understood through our work process. It is impossible to explain it verbally. These feelings must develop within us, and we need to realize them.

Question: What is the inner network that envelops us and elevates us?

Answer: It is our connection with one another.

Question: When we make efforts, ask, and pray, should we feel suffering that nothing is working out?

Answer: No, there should be joy in moving toward correction.

Question: If there is an impression that before the congress that the Creator adds obstacles to connection, how should we correctly respond to such pressure from the Creator?

Answer: Accept it with gratitude.

Question: How should we enter the ten’s internal state so we can feel the connection between us?

Answer: Ask the Creator for it. Constantly ask.

Question: How can there be action in overcoming the attribute of reception without an intention? Why isn’t the intention primary?

Answer: We can perform actions under compulsion because we are forced or scared. However, intentions can only be changed if the light of the Creator descends upon us and corrects them from receiving to bestowing.

Question: At what stage in the group should we emphasize intention by checking to ensure that it is directed toward giving?

Answer: From the very beginning.

Question: How can I verify through the ten that I am correctly forming my intention and that I am fully immersed in it?

Answer: For this, you must be connected with one another and feel to what extent you want to help your friends, to bestow to them, to pray to the Creator for them. Then you will see how much you yearn to bestow.

Question: Is the Shechina in the dust the uncorrected parts we must correct? Is this what the Torah is?

Answer: No, the Torah is our corrected desires filled with the light of the Creator. We are talking about our desires as they are now in the process of correction, completely opposite, shattered, distant from each other, and disconnected. But we desire to bind them together.

By rising above the dust of the Shechina, we appeal to it to raise it out of the dust, to elevate it, and thereby illuminate it.

Question: How is prayer formed in the heart?

Answer: A prayer is formed in the heart when I begin to feel that my friends and I have a common connection but something is not moving forward. This is the state you are in right now. Something is not moving forward.

What is the reason that we are not progressing? And here we have a very clear realization that everything depends not on us, but on the Creator. And the prayer is very simple: we want to unite with each other so that by our unification, by rising above our individual egos, we can bring Him contentment because in this way we become like Him.

It is by our similarity to the Creator that we bring Him contentment. What does it consist of? It consists of efforts on our part to unite so that He can fill our unity with Himself, dwell within us, and thus enjoy that He is within the soul, within creation.

And then there are many different feelings and studies, which represent a clear revelation of the science of Kabbalah. That is, the dependencies between Aviut, Massach, Partzuf, the connection between the parts in the Partzuf: Bina, Malchut, Keter, and so on.

The connections between us and with the Creator are just like novels, symphonies. Moreover, they are simultaneously both sensory and mental, and one complements the other.

This does not exist in our world. And if it does, it is only partially, when a person understands music and at the same time understands its foundation, its relationships, the influence on hearing, on the adaptation of our internal sensations to sounds, even to frequencies, in what conjugation they can be, and so on. I have not seen such an example in our world like music.

Question: What does it mean to be in union with the Creator in a state of lowliness?

Answer: Despite not having any prerequisites to rise, I am ready to be with the Creator in any state, even the lowest ones.

Question: When I read the study material, if there is a desire to give in the heart but the mind does not understand what is studied, does it mean that I am not disconnecting from myself and not connecting with the Creator?

Answer: It does not matter. The main thing is that you are aware of this. From here the correction will begin.

Question: Who can plead with the Creator to pull a person out of the filth, himself or his ten?

Answer: The person himself. And if he cannot ask for himself, he asks his ten to do so.

Question: What does it mean not to doubt the greatness of the Creator?

Answer: It means feeling that there is no one higher than Him, and in fact, there is none else beside Him.

Question: Where is the truth if some friends feel progress and others do not?

Answer: The truth is with those who feel progress.

A person raises the lack that he has and asks the Creator to satisfy his lack (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 579, “I Will Remove the Stony Heart”).

In order to awaken the Creator and achieve a true deficiency in the ten, we must come together in a single circle, as one vessel (Kli), and turn to Him with a request to help us feel Him, and thus bind all of us into one unified Kli.

The realization of the true deficiency of the ten will occur when we feel that we are connected with each other like the particles of Malchut and elevate a collective desire upward so that the Creator will manifest within it. That is when He will reveal Himself within us and fill us. This is called connection with the Creator.

Question: Can we call it a true deficiency when there is a desire to bestow, but no strength to do so?

Answer: No, that means there is no desire. If there is a desire, there is strength. If there is no desire, there is no strength.

Question: How can the ten always be ready to remain in the same awakening as the Creator?

Answer: The ten doesn’t know this. We simply need to try to ascend to the Creator and unite with Him through our collective efforts, and it will gradually happen. The Creator will approach us, reveal Himself within us, and allow us to attain Him.

Question: We talk a lot about caring for humanity and becoming a transmission link between the Creator and the world. Can we do this work at our current stage or are we just preparing the groundwork for the future?

Answer: We are still in a state that even if we do not ask for the whole of humanity, but only for our ten, it will be enough. Although a complete prayer is when we ask for the entire chain, the whole Kli, the whole soul of Adam. Then it definitely works.

However, asking means feeling a desire, a need, an intention. Therefore, first you need to think about it and then turn to the Creator. And if we ask in the following way—I ask for ten, the ten asks to be included in the whole global Bnei Baruch, the global Bnei Baruch asks to be included in all of humanity—this is a complete prayer.

Question: How can we raise this sensitivity? Is it only by a demand to the Creator?

Answer: No, we can raise it mainly by discussing it among ourselves, listening to our friends, and thus increasing its importance.

Question: So is our task at this stage only to ask for humanity in this chain?

Answer: What other task is there? Practically we have one request: help us create such a desire, called a Kli, that You could fill and bring to similarity to You.
