Question: A person who works in our world group or simply often comes to meetings and days of unity sees more images that are closer to the truth than someone who bothers more about corporeality and sees more false images. Does it turn out that someone who connects more often with friends has an easier path to determining the truth for himself?

Answer: No, in no way is his path easier or faster. In order to reach the spiritual level, one needs to go all out, to do some work. Only in this case will you gain access to some spiritual level, and then to the next one, and so on.

So, it does not matter where you live or who you are connected with. All that matters is your inner need for the sense of truth. You need to constantly direct yourself to ensure that the truth lives in you.

Therefore, you should constantly monitor yourself.

Question: Who can help in a situation when a person cares about corporeality more than he needs and loses this facet of truth?

Answer: No, he will not be allowed to immediately escape from spiritual advancement. There are such “guards” on the path that keep us in spirituality.

After the Kabbalistic group left Egypt, its serious development began. Before this, there was practically no spiritual development since the most essential thing that manifested during this period that we all go through is the growth of egoism.

After that, we can start talking about corrections. That is, we have acquired egoism and begin to feel that it is not easy for us to connect with our friends. We are not ready to be in the same harness with them.

Therefore, we need an upper force that will unite us over egoism. This higher power can be called “Creator,” “Pharaoh,” or “Egypt”; it does not matter what. And here our work begins.

Baal HaSulam, in the article “The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee)”, writes that, However, while they were still mingled with the Egyptians, a portion of their needs was necessarily given into the hands of these savages, permeated with self-love.

What is he trying to say? While we are in egoism we cannot achieve complete connection because between us are our egoistic desires—the Egyptians.

Question: What efforts should we make to feel no difference between faith and knowledge?

Answer: Try to be aimed toward the sensation of the Creator constantly.

Question: How can we not miss moments of revelation of the Creator and be in constant interplay with Him?

Answer: It depends on you. The Creator is always ready. You should check what is better or worse when you can turn to the Creator, unite, and strive toward Him.

Question: What is this state when the shadow of the Creator is revealed to us?

Answer: It is the opposite state of the Creator. That is not a descent but doubt, a lack of faith, i.e., still some connection.

Question: How can we help a friend who separates from us?

Answer: Only by praying for him, and you will see how quickly he feels it.

Question: How can we judge light and darkness by the criteria of the Creator?

Answer: You have to learn this. We need to study the meaning of light as defined by the Creator, the meaning of darkness as defined by the Creator, and the difference between them.

Question: Is it correct to use physical examples to aid in developing a spiritual community?

Answer: We should take examples only from the books of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and use them to evaluate every action.

Question: What seems beautiful to us is not always true; we can be influenced by trends or education. What is a “true” spiritual work?

Answer: True spiritual work is when I connect with my ten, hold them together through my efforts, and attract them to come closer to the Creator.

Question: Rabash writes that only the person himself must believe in the immense importance of being worthy of the king’s presence. What does this action “must believe” mean?

Answer: A person must believe that the upper force is guiding him toward the spiritual goal.

Question: Does our soul already know the truth? How can we make a “true” choice through the soul, even in worldly matters?

Answer: You do not know this yet, but ultimately, we will come to this, and you will receive notification of the truth from there.

Question: How can we keep ourselves above egoism if two friends are making remarks to each other in front of the entire group about how each should change?

Answer: You should talk first with one, then with the other. Ideally, the entire group should take it upon themselves to embrace them with warmth.

Question: The value of corporeal things depends on advertising. There is a prohibition against sharing one’s spiritual states and experiences in spirituality. How can we correctly advertise spirituality to friends?

Answer: We need to support friends who yearn to come closer to the Creator and then gradually we will come to feel what the Creator feels. By striving to be closer to Him, we will begin to see the world as the Creator does.

Question: So I say that a particular friend in the group is probably close to the Creator; therefore I envy him. Is that right?

Answer: Suppose you think so and are confident about it. You must be responsible for your words, especially when you speak about someone else.

Question: Then how do I advertise spirituality correctly?

Answer: You do not need to advertise it.

Question: I cannot speak about myself, but I can about a friend. How can I be sure that he is close to the Creator? Today he is close and tomorrow, God forbid, he might show a different side.

Answer: That is why you should not advertise. If a person constantly strives for the truth and desires to move toward it with friends from within their connection, this gives us confidence that he is on the right path toward the right goal.

Question: If you cannot talk about your sensations and feelings in the ten, what should you talk about?

Answer: It is not customary to talk about personal internal feelings in the ten since you can harm yourself and your friends by doing this.

What do we usually talk about? About the greatness of the group, the greatness of the Creator, and what we should strive for, not me personally but all of us together.

You cannot talk about what you are experiencing, how you feel, your emotions, and personal aspirations.
Basically we discuss what is written in the articles.

Question: Why is it so difficult for us to support each other?

Answer: We do not feel connected to each other. Kabbalah explains that we are interconnected, integral, and in the same system.

Look at the ways in which all misfortunes that befall humanity teach us about integral interconnectedness.

What are people missing today? We have science, technology, everything you could want. The only thing we lack is a good connection between ourselves. It is so obvious! After all, if you look at humanity, what are people occupied with? They have everything except the awareness of how to make their lives normal. Yes, it is just to suffer less, not to mention that we can achieve anything!

The same applies to us in our tens. But why? We know what needs to be done to be correctly interconnected so that I can reveal the upper world in the ten so that my ten transforms into ten Sefirot and I begin to attain all 125 degrees within it.

To leave this world like that, to ascend to any degree as on a spaceship and simply look at this nature as nothing, why don’t we do it? It seems that we have everything, we know everything, we understand everything, there is a place, there is time, there is strength, there is everything.

Question: All day I have been intensely working on the thought of how to ask for my friends in order to bring them closer to the state of Ibur (conception). How can I exert more effort in order to create a real state of attack to reach this level?

Answer: I see no other way than to act on my own, to ask for myself, and to ask for others so that we can all annul ourselves and become one common spiritual body that only thinks about annulling its egoism at the very first stage.

To annul oneself means to fully integrate into each other, to think only about others and not about oneself. In this way, we perform the most productive spiritual action that we are capable of today.

And further, based on the fact that we will go “out of ourselves” and as if entering others, a completely new state will arise—altruistic egoism, which we will apply for the sake of others, not for ourselves. This is what we need to do.

But right now, we really need an attack on our egoistic thoughts and calculations so that all of them are only for the purpose of getting included in others and working as if in the body of our friends, helping them. Therefore, it is said: “Let each one help his friend.” After all, each one cannot ask and pray for himself; only for others.

Question: When we turn to the Creator for our friends, how do we annul our own participation in this?

Answer: When I ask for my friends, I try to make it so that I do not think about myself, as if I do not exist, but only they do. And where is my personal involvement? My personal involvement is only in that I ask for them, that I extend my request on their behalf, but no more than that.

Question: Is truth feeling what the Creator feels and seeing the world as the Creator sees it?

Answer: Of course.

Question: How can one bring oneself closer to such sensitivity?

Answer: This is why we study. What we have been reading all this time we need to somehow absorb within ourselves and try to tune in to perceive reality above our egoism, against it, so that the truth is always more valuable than lies.

You need to constantly monitor that the ego does not rise above you. There is nothing more important than controlling how much you are above it.

Question: What is the right way to resolve disagreements in the group? Where should we start?

Answer: Start with wanting to replace your current relationship with love.

Question: What is the importance of turning to the group for support?

Answer: By turning to the group you develop your connection with it, and it begins to act on you through the Creator.

This is very important.
