Question: If a friend in our ten goes through a state of descent and we feel it, how can we help him?

Answer: If a friend is going through a bad spiritual state, we must support him.

Understand that each of us experiences a spiritual state for the group and not for ourselves. We go through descents, ascents, and changes in our states only because the whole group needs it, not just one person.

Therefore, if I look at a friend and see that he is in a descent, he is not in it. The whole group, through him, must study this descent and pick it up. And so through each of us. We must perceive ups and downs as being given to the whole group together. In spirituality, we strive to be one.

How can I look at a friend and say if he is on a descent or an ascent? That is where we are! He experiences this alone because we have not yet united. And to the extent that we unite, we will feel all the descents and ascents of everyone together.

Question: How can remote groups be incorporated into a teacher, as Kabbalists once did?
I am afraid it is possible to miss the common ark and it will sail away, and in the next life, I will have to be born again in some unclear conditions.

Answer: First of all, the fact that you are afraid of missing something, losing, and being late—this is good. On the other hand, you must be sure that if you are in this place and trying to unite with your friends with all your might, you will definitely succeed. That is second.

Third, success does not consist of what you have attained, earned, felt, realized, and seen. Success consists of trying to think at every moment about bringing contentment to the Creator.

And then you will think less about yourself, about how to succeed, and whether you will have time or not have time, or whether you will be born in this world again. All these purely egoistic questions will not worry you because you will be above them in aspiration toward the Creator.

Question: Is it possible to connect hearts when some in the ten disagree that this is the only way to hear the voice of the Creator?

Answer: This is not good. We must reach a state where everyone desires and performs the same action and expects the same result.

Question: Sometimes friends say that they hear the voice of the Creator without connecting with the ten. How can that be?

Answer: I do not know. I do not believe that a person can do this without first connecting through acts of bestowal with other friends.

Question: Can the part of the group that agrees with this condition hear the voice of the Creator?

Answer: It is not likely that this can be achieved without the support of the entire ten.

Question: As a rule evil forces us to turn to good. Against what background is evil revealed? Should the feeling of evil be constant as an indicator of our progress?

Answer: Evil is not revealed in us because we strive for good. When we come to study Kabbalah, we are not interested in good and evil or all these categories in general. We are interested in comprehending the Creator, revealing the upper world, revealing the source, the cause, and the purpose of the universe, that is, everything above our life that controls it.

When I study, they tell me that to reveal the control system, the higher power, the upper world, you must unite with your friends. They tell me about the system of Adam HaRishon, which needs revealing.

To reveal it, I have to be in a group. Therefore, they include me in a group of friends to unite and mutually care for each other, etc.

All this is repulsive to my ego, mind, and soul, but I can do nothing. They explain why this is important. Gradually, under the influence of the upper light, I begin to feel the importance of working in a group.

Question: How can we unite to feel the revelation of the Creator?

Answer: Our main progress is through ascents and descents. Let us say right now I feel completely stupid. I do not remember words or how to connect a couple of phrases. My head is empty and I am clumsy in my desires and aspirations. I am dead! Even worse.

And then everything passes, and a new state appears. It becomes more and more apparent and colorful. I strive forward to my friends; everything takes on meaning and taste. And then again, tastelessness, decline, detachment, stupidity, etc. And again, colors, tastes, desires!

That is how we move forward. The most important thing is to unite in both men’s and women’s tens so that you always receive common benefits from the falls of some and the rises of others. Our work is like that of a rectifier in a Wheatstone Bridge circuit. When it works in a positive phase, it goes to a plus; when it works in a negative phase, it also goes to a plus. Everything depends on our unification.

If we unite correctly, the Creator will ensure that we complement each other, and our common downfalls and ascents will always be only in our favor and will have a vast overall effect. So let us take care of this. After all, this is only possible through our unification.

Dam (blood) means Demama (silence/stillness), as in, “And Aaron kept silent,” and “Be silent for the Lord” (Rabash, Letter No. 32).

Question: What is this power of silence? What is it expressed in?

Answer: It is a state when a person agrees with everything that comes from the Creator and agrees to remain silent.

Question: How can one correctly follow the Creator?

Answer: Following the Creator correctly means finding out in the group how fully you are connected with the inner power of the ten, and then you can be more or less sure that you are taking the right steps. All internal actions are performed only through the ten.

Question: You said to clarify what strength we reveal from our connection in the ten. How should we analyze this correctly?

Answer: In our attempts to connect we must try to see how those strengths and opportunities we lack are born from our unity.

In this way, we will understand what we can develop within ourselves. We must look for new states we have not felt before, i.e., new strength, new connections, and new opportunities.

In the habitual rhythm of our actions, we must see this new strength each time, how it is born each time we get closer to each other, and how a new opportunity emerges in the connection with each other.

Question: How can I convey the flame of striving for the Creator to my friends?

Answer: I don’t think it is possible, but probably through words anyway.

Question: Can we say that the Creator gives us a taste of His love, but then we can awaken it only through love for our friends, and this is a free action?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How do you constantly convince yourself to do this action, to love your friends?

Answer: Return to this action periodically until it is incorporated into your DNA.

Question: If Hisaron raises me to prayer, to merge with the Creator, this is good. Let it be so until the end of correction. Or should I still see the importance of my friends gathering in the lessons rises for me that my friends?

Answer: You have to collect and lift all this yourself.

Question: In letter 24 of Rabash, there is a phrase: “And may the Creator assist us in the corporeal and the spiritual.” I understand when we say that the Creator assists us in the corporeal. What does it mean to “assist” us spiritually? What kind of hope is this?

Answer: For Him to give us the correct desire.

Question: What does it mean to cherish the relationship of man to the Creator and the Creator to man?

Answer: So that the relationship between them is direct.

Question: We get a lot of blows and raise a lot of prayers. How can we move from the quantity of prayers to a qualitative prayer? I have a feeling that it is better to get one blow, but one that gets to us.

Answer: Quality will come with time.

Question: I have written down the conditions that should unite us: mutual guarantee, annulment, prayer for friends, “There is none else besides Him,” stay in one desire, and form a channel between the Creator and the ten.

That is what I just remembered. How do we observe all this at the same time?

Answer: There is nothing complicated about it. Nothing!

Question: But I can focus on a maximum of two conditions.

Answer: No, it is not on all of them together. All these conditions do not contradict each other. They only talk about your mutual relationship with the group. As much as you can glue into them, they can glue into you.

Proper interaction and communication between you are expressed in these conditions. You can stick a thousand different expressions on them. It does not matter. It is an open channel. That is all.
