Question: What will help you quickly recognize material and spiritual disturbances as help and realize that nothing is an obstacle, but on the contrary, it would awaken and give even greater striving to the group, to the Creator?

Answer: If you find out what stands in your way to uniting in the ten and turn to the Creator so that He strengthens your unity and gives you even more strength to connect, everything will be fine.

Question: How do I keep an internal connection with the ten during the day?

Answer: I do not think that is possible. You will still fall-rise, fall-rise. After all, there is no such condition in the world as to stay in one place.

Question: What are the signs of a person who feels impurity, and how can this be corrected to reach a connection?

Answer: If you want to receive for yourself rather than for the sake of the Creator or the friends, this is called a state of impurity (Klipa).

It is possible to correct the Klipa into a state of holiness (Kedusha) only with the help of the upper light. A person must raise his or her prayer to the Creator and ask to be transitioned from the degree where one feels the control of the desire to receive to the degree of the desire to bestow, to become similar to the Creator.

Only through prayer can we correct ourselves and come closer to the Creator and His revelation.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that everything is already arranged, and all the worlds are ready to receive us, but a person holds on to their egoism and does not let go. What can we add here?

Answer: We must grasp that person and lift him or her above their state. Then, he will feel where he is and where we are pulling him. That is what we must do.

Question: What helps us most to come to a pure heart? How can we acquire it?

Answer: We purify our hearts through the love of our friends and open them for others.

Question: You said that man is the first to ask the Creator. What did you mean by that? So does the Hisaron of women must somehow always pass through a man?

Answer: In general, yes. The main thing is for a man to raise his prayer to the Creator.

Question: I see flaws in myself and my friends. I appreciate them greatly, but these flaws prevent me from seeing them as great. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Answer: Yes, but we need to work on these flaws. Show them your example that you have the same flaws and are working on them.

Question: If during the connection in the group something opens up between us within reason, should we raise it as a group above reason? If so, what is the right way to do it?

Answer: If something is revealed to you within reason, then based on the connection between each other, try to rise above reason together, and then you will succeed. Try.

Question: Will this effort come from our good connections?

Answer: You will see it.

Question: How do I become a tool in the hands of the Creator?

Answer: Completely annul yourself before the Creator and thus continue your work throughout the journey.

You have a mind and a heart that you must glue to the Creator so that what comes from Him fills them. Then, you will be able to do whatever the Creator desires.

Question: But it is a problem for us to agree with everything that is happening. Is there something else needed?

Answer: If you want to perform such exercises in the ten, it is best to focus on the desire that the Creator fill your mind and heart and that all your actions, thoughts, and decisions would come only from connection with Him. That is being a slave to the Creator.

Question: Why does slavery of desire always lead us to a dead end, but being a slave of the Creator promises us absolute freedom?

Answer: That is His wish.

Question: The degree of overcoming faults in us determines what stage we are at. If we add gratitude to the Creator and our friends, how does this affect the degree?

Answer: Gratitude strengthens this degree. It does not lift us, but strengthens the degree.

Question: What does it mean to be in a spiritual framework?

Answer: It means constantly being in connection with the Creator.

Question: Lately I have felt a great responsibility to not bring hatred into the world. When I feel hatred, I fear that I am destroying it. What is the correct prayer in this state?

Answer: The most correct, simple prayer is to ask the Creator to be revealed to everyone in this world, and then everyone will understand why they live and how to live.

Question: After reading an article, everyone takes something out of it according to their feelings. How can we synchronize so we come to one common understanding and feeling?

Answer: It depends on the Creator. He cannot yet give all of you a common impression of some spiritual objects at the same time. You are yet lacking a common Kli for this.

Question: Did I understand correctly that no one in the ten can attain the next degree until everyone does the previous one?

Answer: No, this is not entirely true. A person can rise and independently incorporate in different tens. It is still ahead of us. The main thing is to strive for connection.

Question: What can we do with the desires of the material world that are constantly growing?

Answer: As much as possible, they should be satisfied, but not at the expense of connection in the group.

Question: With what or with whom can we compare ourselves in the ten? Is it possible to take an ideal ten as a benchmark and compare ourselves with it?

Answer: No, we cannot see the ten outside of ourselves in the correct form, not at all. We must examine our ten and aim it toward the Creator. By identifying our egoistic qualities within it, we ask the Creator to correct them.

A person must constantly examine himself regarding how he evaluates his friends and whether he looks at them with a good or evil eye.

Question: Can we combine all the desires accumulated during the day into one desire and bring it to the ten?

Answer: No, a person has many different desires that change throughout the day. One must identify them, unite them, and elevate them, and turn to the Creator and ask for their correction. This is what everyone in the group should do.

Question: Should we desire to adhere to the Creator because this makes us partners and helps Him fulfill the purpose of creation?

Answer: The Creator does not need our help. But we should go exactly according to our feelings and learn from the Torah.

The most important thing our teachers tell us is to learn from the Creator by His actions. And His actions are bestowal, love, and unity.

Question: How can I verify that I am performing all actions based on connection with the Creator?

Answer: If you perform these actions based on connection with your friends and want to come closer to the Creator, then you can perform these actions with the Creator. But first, there must be unity in the ten.

Question: If we talk about spiritual beauty, can it be said that this is the revelation of qualities through the ten? In other words, by displaying my qualities, do I recognize flaws in myself, or do my qualities still reveal themselves and the ten helps me turn them around?

Answer: Until you come to absolute integration between you in the ten, flaws will manifest in each of you, and will affect the others. Therefore, you will constantly need to take care to correct your flaws in timely manner, each time in something different.

Question: Do I see these flaws through the ten or does the ten show them to me? How do they manifest in us?

Answer: Usually, they manifest in connection with friends. But, in general, they are revealed by the Creator.

Question: If someone in the ten reaches a higher degree, do the others also end up on it or does everyone stay on their own degree?

Answer: Imagine that now your entire ten is in our lesson. We are all trying to unite, and the whole ten strives to be like one person in whom all desires, all goals, and all intentions come together. This is the state we strive to reach, and we will achieve it.

Then we will be one subject who wants to attain the Creator. But the strength in it will be from ten, the intention from ten. In accordance with this, we will break forward.
