How Can You Understand the Answer of the Creator?

936Question: When we correctly raise MAN, the response from the Creator comes to us in the form of MAD. Is it possible to understand whether our MAN was accepted or not?

Answer: Of course, this can be understood through the attitude of the Creator toward me: I am for the Creator and the Creator is for me.

Question: We act in the center of the connection of the ten. How can we discern the attitude of the Creator toward us through our prayer?

Answer: Treat Him as correctly as possible, and after that begin to read His response in the relationships between you.

Question: What changes? Is it some level of unity between us?

Answer: Everything changes. Absolutely everything.

Put All the Images of the Creator Together

275Question: You said that everyone has their own Creator. When we unite and perceive each other’s Creator, what happens to Him? Does anything change?

Answer: The Creator combines all His images into one larger image.

Question: How does this affect our further interaction with Him?

Answer: If the unity is maintained, then you cling to Him even more, and if it is not maintained, then it is bad.

It is okay; you will gradually come to unity.

How Can You Love Your Neighbor?

530Question: It is easy for us to love people who are close to us in their qualities. But how can we make ourselves love people who are not like us?

Answer: I do not think you should do this. You should strive for what is revealed in the ten and try to establish friendly relations in it.

Question: What is hatred of others?

Answer: Hatred of others is dislike, a desire to move away from them, to distance oneself.

Question: How can we love our neighbor as ourselves? Do we need to see ourselves in him and love him?

Answer: You can imagine it this way, or you can imagine that your neighbor, whom you want to love, is connected with the Creator, and through him you will love the Creator.

How Can You Devote Yourself to the Spiritual Path?

281.02Question: Over the course of studying in the group of ten, we have developed trust in our friends and a sense of responsibility for our actions. But we are afraid that what we are doing is insufficient. How can we devote ourselves to the spiritual path without overthinking?

Answer: To some extent, the number of years you have been studying, the amount of effort invested, and your searches matter. But I do not think it is that critical.

The most important thing is how connected you are with each other. When those who know more and those who know less, those with greater desires and those with lesser desires, all come together, they create one common vessel (Kli). In this common vessel shared desires, shared aspirations, and shared questions lead to the progress of everyone.

Gradually, you will all find balance. Those who have been studying for five years and those for five months will reach a state where they think alike and immerse themselves equally in the material.

Toward a Feeling of Shared Love

938.07Question: How do you develop the need to feel your neighbor’s desire?

Answer: To do this, you need to be in contact with him, to feel him, and help him raise his desire for the Creator.

Question: We know when we are pleasing our father or mother. How can I take the Kelim of the higher one and feel I am pleasing my mother?

Answer: It is said about this that from love for one’s neighbor to love for the Creator. Start with your neighbors. Neighbors are group mates who can help you, and you can help them. And then move on to love for the Creator.

Through love for your neighbor, you form a connection with the Creator. And then you begin to receive strength from Him with the help of which you will feel shared love.

Love People

294.2Question: What is the difference between loving friends and loving all people?

Answer: There is a big difference between these concepts because loving friends in the group is one thing, but loving just people is another.

Although I have to love both of them, i.e., feel their good and bad feelings as my own.

Question: We are studying how to treat our friends. What about loving people?

Answer: Wishing them well is how love for a person manifests itself. You must love people, and then the Creator will love you to the same extent.

From Immersion in Connection

938.02Question: There are generations of Boomers, X, Z, and Y. Now the Alpha generation is growing up. How do we create material that will be interesting to them?

Answer: I think the most important thing for you is to study the wisdom of Kabbalah itself, delve deeply into it, and try to connect it with the questions you receive from the world. It is very important to stay connected with your friends so that from your connection with them, you can form the right answers to all questions.

The point is that by immersing yourself in your friends and the connection with them, you will feel a kind of pleasure that fills you and explains everything to you. This is what you need to reach. When you reach this state, you will have the right foundation for moving forward.

Three Hours of Continuous Prayer

630.2Comment: At a congress every friend from the world group has a special opportunity to take part in kitchen duty. This opportunity is given only once. It lets us together form the right intention and opportunity and use it to connect with each other, which will delight the Creator and everyone at the congress.

My Response: Even if someone came from who knows where, can they only have kitchen duty once?!

Comment: Unfortunately, everyone gets only one chance of three hours to selflessly give to all the friends in the kitchen over the three days of the congress.

My Response: This is a big deal! These three hours are like three hours of continuous prayer. Maybe we do not understand this, so we just need to accept that it is so.

That is the most effective way to enter the upper world. Give these three hours all your heart and energy! Maybe this is why everyone came to the congress.

How Can We Be Worthy of the Creator’s Love?

527Question: How can we love people correctly in order to be worthy of the love of the Creator?

Answer: You must constantly convince yourself that to the extent that you are like the Creator in His attitude toward people, to that extent you will be close to Him. This is called the law of similarity of properties.

First, we are talking about love for the ten. To do this everyone in their ten must try to behave as they imagine the Creator behaves and demands the same from him or her. Gradually, a person will develop a feeling of the friends in his aspirations toward them, and the properties of the Creator, His love, and His qualities will be revealed in him.

Question: By loving our friends, we feel the love of the Creator. Is it the same love?

Answer: This is not the same love, not the same feelings, but gradually one will be combined with the other.

In a Sine Wave

138Question: There is no time in the spiritual, i.e., we enjoy the present, past, and future as a a whole. Could my purpose in our world be to see it all as one whole?

Answer: It depends on the person, to what extent one feels one’s state, to what extent one can divide it into past, present, and future, and to what extent one is with one’s friends, and through them, can pass his sensations.

Question: What will help a person who seems to have lost the ability to dream and imagine the state of bestowing to the Creator?

Answer: Relax a little by reading Kabbalistic books and participate in what you can. There are ascents and descents; everything goes in a sine wave.
