Question: Is it important for our progress to scrutinize the nuances of good feelings between us?

Answer: Yes, it is important to clarify these feelings, not just between you, but within yourself. Then you will see that each friend occupies a specific place in your heart.

Question: In my soul I want to love everyone in the group. But as soon as I feel I love everyone, a friend’s ego is revealed and he “drills a hole in the boat.” Should I pray for my correction, my friends, or the whole group?

Answer: Pray for each friend individually, for all of them, and for the entire group. In addition, pray for yourself so you do not harbor negative thoughts about them and will always think well of them.

Question: What is the difference between forming a union of love and connection in the material world and in the spiritual?

Answer: A material union is based only on material benefits and promises, while a spiritual union depends solely on a shared aspiration toward a common goal.

Question: So does this mean there is no light from the Creator when people form a union in the material world?

Answer: No, there is nothing from the Creator. For that, there are lawyers, judges, and so on. They can be consulted.

Question: If our group has the sole desire to attain love for the Creator, but we are still in the material world, how can we determine that we have formed a spiritual union in the group and that the Creator is the guarantor for us?

Answer: The Creator is not a guarantor for anyone. We must be guarantors for each other. You should thoroughly study the article on mutual responsibility.

Question: Can we ask for elevated spiritual things even if we are not yet similar to the Creator?

Answer: The thing is that when you engage in this, you draw upon yourself the upper light, which corrects and elevates you.

Question: Can it be said that a vessel of bestowal is compassion, which can attract the light of Hassadim and can the light of Hochma be received in a vessel of compassion?

Answer: No, that is impossible. These are entirely different levels of desire. Level two is a vessel of bestowal. Level four is a vessel of reception.

Question: Eternity is adhesion. It is written in TES that if there were no line (Kav), creation would be merged with infinity. Why must the light enter through the Kav step by step and gradually?

Answer: This is necessary for the development of creation so that it becomes similar to the Creator and capable of receiving the light from Him and then giving the light back, thus becoming equal to the Creator. So, gradually, we will begin to perceive all of this correctly.

Question: Is there a difference between organizing a common desire in a ten, a group, or all of Bnei Baruch? Is it one vessel or different vessels?

Answer: These are similar vessels, but it all depends on the number of units in each vessel—whether a ten, a group, or a global vessel. There is, of course, a difference.

Question: How can we properly revive the state of connection between friends?

Answer: You must strive for the same state you are already in and for even greater ones. Then you will feel that your connection is not broken but that it is being restored more and more.

You must constantly maintain the connection between you and your friends and between you and the Creator.

Question: What is the difference between love and friendship between friends?

Answer: The difference is significant. Love binds people very closely. And friendship can be at a distance, cooler, because they do not need to be directly connected to each other.

Friendship and love are difficult to define although the differences between them can be pointed out. Love is when I feel such a connection with another person that we cannot be separated; we are as if glued together. Each of us understands friendship well because many people have such relationships.

Question: How do you maintain friendship between friends in a state of hatred?

Answer: We must not allow ourselves to be in a state of hatred; we must always maintain a connection to the point of love. And if hatred does appear, you need to convince yourself that it is necessary to check whether this feeling is correct or is just an indicator to the person, like some kind of disease that you need to get rid of as soon as possible.

Question: How do you get rid of hatred? What is the most effective way?

Answer: I think that there is no a single recipe for all cases. But you can remember the good days you had, how you loved each other, forgave each other, wanted to feel closer, and now you lack precisely this.

We must understand that love can be achieved with a only few in the world, so it must be protected. Even friendship is not just about having a warm relationship because it comes and goes.

Question: Why do we need connection and mutual guarantee? We came to the group, love each other, and unite; it seems to last forever.

Answer: So stay in the state that it seems to you. What do you want from me?

People come to me who, despite getting together and organizing something together, feel that they are still not connected.

Question: Does the feeling that they cannot unite with each other remain with them forever?

Answer: You have to turn this feeling into the quality of connection, bestowal, and love, and then immerse yourself in it.

Question: We need to learn to love our neighbors. How can we do this?

Answer: I cannot teach you to love. This cannot be taught. You simply have to read the primary sources and always think about how to love the Creator and how to get closer to Him.

When you think about this constantly, you will see that you increasingly understand what kind of connections you should have with the Creator, how you should feel Him, and how you want Him to feel you.

Question: What is this perfect desire that is capable of desiring the light of love in actions?

Answer: It is the fulfillment that a person receives when one relates to the Creator in the same way that the Creator relates to him or her. Then a person receives the light of love.

Question: What is spiritual action?

Answer: Spiritual action is any action that we perform for the sake of spiritual elevation.

Question: Does it mean that I need to form an intention within myself to bestow to the Creator and to be in bestowal to the Creator through others? How can I give the Creator the opportunity to fill this connection?

Answer: We ask Him to help us feel the importance of our intentions, how and in what way we can turn them toward bestowal to the Creator.

Question: If a person strives not to deceive himself in his actions, can he be confident that he is performing actions for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: In principle, no one can be fully confident. But we can hope that in accordance with our desires, prayers, requests, and actions, we will be assigned to the side of bestowal and become givers.

Question: Is it possible to check the intention so as no to make a mistake?

Answer: Of course, you need to check in order to see why you have certain intentions and how much you are working on this together with the group. You need to be more connected with others, which will allow you to clarify all questions on the spiritual path more quickly.

Question: How exactly can one check the intention?

Answer: You can discuss this within the group or with the Creator. Simply examine: for what, why, for what reason, for what purpose I did something, am I doing it, or plan to do something in the future? When I lay out my plans in this way, I can determine why I am doing it, what it gives me, or what I hope for.

Question: How can you maintain the right balance between explicit actions and internal work on intention?

Answer: First of all take care of the intention and then action. Then everything will be fine.

Question: How do good relationships between us reveal the Creator?

Answer: The mutual assistance you wish to provide each other connects you, and a vessel (Kli) is formed in your ten. In this case, then the Creator can positively influence you. However, if you do not treat each other well, the Creator will not influence you.

So build the correct relationships between you—a Kli—and you will quickly begin to feel the presence of the Creator.
