We will succeed in destroying the Jews because they are separated from one another; hence, our power against them will certainly prevail (Shamati 144, “There is a Certain People).

Question: What is our power?

Answer: The thing is, egoistic forces want to enter our environment and divide us so that we are not united among us. In such a case, they distance us from the Creator and can do whatever they want with us.

But if we unite among ourselves and with the whole world, then our collective power will represent the spiritual force. We need nothing else beside that. Our strength lies only in unity.

Question: What do we lack for such unity to become an example for the world?

Answer: We lack coming closer to each other and attempts to eliminate all bad thoughts and desires that flow from one to the other. We must rapidly gain strength and speed of unity in order to dispel all opposing thoughts and actions.

Question: If some situation occurs in the ten, what does it mean that we clothe it in reflected light in our relationships in order to reveal the Creator?

Answer: If we have the right relationship with each other and hence the right attitude toward the Creator, then we unite and turn to the Creator together in our desire to receive from Him in order to bestow to Him.

When we act this way, as a result of our work, the light of the Creator clothes in our intention toward Him, and to this extent we receive from Him.

Question: If one of our friends does not agree with some situation, how can the whole ten make a correction instead of him or help him do it?

Answer: Unite as much as you can despite the fact that you are a half or a quarter of the ten, it does not matter. Act as you need to, and everything else will come.

Question: At what stage of spiritual development does a person attain the first ten Sefirot?

Answer: Ten Sefirot gradually open up to him to the extent that he wants to be with his friends and direct all his desires and thoughts to the Creator.

Question: Can we ask to have light all the time in the ten, and when we are filled with it, then we will build a screen?

Answer: No, you do not determine this. You are only asking for correction in order to be closer to your friends and help them to be filled with light.

You should strive to be good instruments in the hands of the Creator, that is, to wish that the Creator fills the whole world with goodness through you.

Question: What kind of work should we do in our Kli to fulfill the desire of the Creator?

Answer: We must unite among ourselves in one desire with which we can turn to the Creator, and He will fulfill it.

In other words, by uniting, we want to affect and bestow on each other. This property fills our common desire; we turn to the Creator and ask Him for the upper light to fill us with the intention of bestowal.

Question: The Creator desires connection with us, and our job is to achieve connection with Him. How can we quickly find this first contact in each state and then develop it?

Answer: In each state, we should strive for greater unification so that the small desires of each one will unite with the others, and we will feel a greater desire with which we can already turn to the Creator, and He will fill it.

Question: How can we check that our requests to the Creator are correct?

Answer: If your thoughts coincide with those of your friends, and you jointly join in turning to the Creator, you achieve your goal.

Question: What are the qualitative efforts of our connection in our tens and our global group?

Answer: Qualitative efforts consist of thinking about our unification, and this action attracts us with its quality. After all, when we rise to the level of the Creator, we can influence all of nature, which will become unified as a result of our efforts, and then we will be invincible.

Humankind will see from our example how to act; it will also strive for unity, and the whole world will rise to the level of the Creator.

Question: How important and necessary is it to read articles and pass them through the four phases of direct light?

Answer: We cannot yet pass anything through the four phases. We do not have that ability yet. Just read the sources, try to attract all the light that can come to the egoistic desire, illuminate it, and correct it.

By working in the ten, you raise your desires from below, and the light descending from above corrects and fulfills them.

Question: What does it mean to awaken vessels in order to reach greater bestowal through them?

Answer: It depends on what we desire. If we truly want to develop new vessels of bestowal (Kelim de Hashpaa), then we draw the upper light from above, and it illuminates those desires in which we can receive for the sake of bestowal to the Creator.

Question: If there is such an awakening from above as the desire to cling to our teachers Baal HaSulam and RABASH, what kind of awakening is expected from us from below?

Answer: Desire and prayer. The desire to find out what our teachers have bequeathed to us and to fulfill it.

Question: On one hand we must use the methodology we are studying, and on the other hand we want to get what the Creator gives you. How can we combine our work and the expectation that only He gives anyway?

Answer: We must do everything we can and expect the Creator to make His distribution. But in principle, only the Creator determines everything.

Question: Can a friend artificially create conflict in the ten by criticizing another friend or rudely addressing her, motivating this with the desire to give the group a reason for internal group work?

Answer: It is forbidden to criticize anyone in the group.

Question: What does it mean the Creator chooses the lot?

Answer: It comes down from above.

Question: Do we already have Kelim of Haman, or do we still need to grow them?

Answer: We do not need to grow anything; we only wish to receive these Kelim of Haman and the Light of Mordechai in them.

To do this, we must look for ways to unite, although we are all egoists. By turning to the Creator with a request for unity above egoism, we will be able to receive a common Kli, a common desire, suitable for receiving the upper light. It is our work.

Question: What do we lack in unification to come to this request, and would the Creator raise us?

Answer: Together you must compress into one common whole. Strive for a single desire that you could direct to the Creator so that He would correct it and fill it with the light of Mordechai.

There is nothing complicated here. Connect your desires and ask the Creator to fill them with the highest light.
