Question: In prayer, is it better for us to focus on the ten, or can we place the hearts of the entire world Kli in it?

Answer: You can include everyone in your prayers, and I really encourage that. But remember that you must first pray for your ten so that it can unite everyone and thus rise to the Creator.

When everyone strives for unity, it is very easy to achieve. The main thing is that you are all directed toward Him.

To obtain the property of bestowal, you need to unite with each other.

Then your quality of bestowal will coincide with the quality of bestowal of the Creator, and you will feel that you are in the same world as Him. Everything will fall into place.

Question: How can we transfer our common pleasure to the Creator?

Answer: If you transfer your pleasure to each other, then eventually, you begin to feel a sense of bestowing to your friend and therefore to the Creator.

Our job is to determine how to move closer to the full disclosure of light in our desires because this is what the Creator wants. It is a work of intention, and we must do it that way.

Question: What is the state of Shabbat (Sabbath) in a Kabbalistic ten?

Answer: This is a state where there is nothing to correct; everything is already corrected, everyone is in complete connection with each other as if you were suspended in the sky.

Question: You said that in our world on Shabbat people walk and talk differently. How can we come to such a state where we feel as if we were suspended from the sky? What needs to be done?

Answer: Indeed on Shabbat people walk slower, do not argue, do not rush anywhere, and do everything as if they were on vacation. But external, physical actions do not give anything.

Nonetheless, in the ten, you should also treat each other with kindness and consideration, you should be help each other and be in contact with each other, and you will gradually feel what kind of atmosphere it is.

After all, the feeling that you are suspended from the sky is a state where you do not want to be governed by earthly qualities.

Question: Is it necessary to restrict all desires to the minimum, even those that do not interfere with connection with the ten?

Check it out with your friends. If desires bring you closer to each other, they will bring you closer to the Creator.

Question: How do we determine the required minimum? After all, each person has their minimum.

Answer: If you do the right things, you will not have to think about how much you receive and how to receive less.

Question: You said that as a result of the spiritual work, the ten will become like one body and appear before the Creator. How does this happen?

Answer: This is done by the Creator from above. But in order to help Him as much as possible, you must be ready to unite in one desire and strive for one goal.

Comment: We try to do this during the lessons and at all our events, but it does not work out.

My Response: No, it is slowly working out, but it has not yet come to the point where you feel it in your sensations. To speed up this process, you need to focus on making sure that your desires are similar to each other.

Question: We compose a prayer every day and try to build a common desire. Is it better to focus on one thing?

Answer: Yes, on what is important to us today.

Question: Should the restriction be conscious, or does the light correct us automatically?

Answer: You cannot depict the right path for yourself. Therefore, it is better not to ask such questions; simply adhere to the quality of bestowal, to the Creator, from the bottom of your heart.

Do what you can. The less you think about yourself and the more about your friends, the closer you will get to the Creator. Correct the connection between each other until you lose the feeling of your own individuality and begin to feel only the common group instead of yourself.
