Question: What does it mean that I have to annul myself before my friend and my friend becomes a zero before me, and everyone does the same? Is it something that I see or are they doing it in reality?

Answer: Everyone tries to annul himself with regard to others: you annul before friends, and the friends annul before you, and everyone becomes annulled before everyone until the complete dilution of “me” in the space between you.

In order to see the annulment of friends, you have to annul yourself. In order to see that they are uniting between them, you have to connect with them. Only in the degree of these two states will you be able to see them correctly and will they see you correctly. Thus you will unite.

Question: Do I understand correctly that the more we connect, the brighter egoism is? Or is egoism annulled by true connection?

Answer: Egoism is annulled only at the end of the path, and now we need it in order for us to ascend.

What will we rise above if we do not have egoism? We rise above it step-by-step all the time: higher, higher, and higher. And it is gradually growing. It turns out that the bigger a person is, the greater is his egoism. Otherwise, we will not grow spiritually.

Question: At the beginning of the journey, the desire was strong and pronounced, but over time it seemed to decrease and fade away. What is the problem?

Answer: The problem is that you do not feel the support of your friends, and therefore, your desire remains alone and weakens.

Question: What practical advice can you give to strengthen the consistency of the desire to see the greatness and perfection of the Creator?

Answer: Pray, ask that you have only this aspiration.

Question: How can we work correctly with the desires that distract us from spirituality when even the force of overcoming and coming closer to the group does not help?

Answer: Pray to the Creator so that He will give you the ability to protect yourself from this desire that you consider harmful.

All our desires are from the Creator. Everything that is in us is from the Creator.

So let us find out from Him what is good and what is not good and what we need and what we do not need.

If some thought not directed at the purpose of creation distracts you, leave it, do not try to correct it somehow, and try to distract yourself from it.

Question: What kind of exercise can we perform in the ten for the correct work in connecting our individual and common desires?

Answer: By combining individual and common desires, we must aim to create a place for the Creator, which is called Shechina, so that He can be revealed there.

Desire is called a place. But Shechina is not just a desire. Shechina is a collection of all our desires in which we want to connect in order to give place to the Creator. Otherwise, He has no place.

It is written about Abraham, “Walk before Me, and be wholehearted.” RASHI interprets that he does not need support. About Noah, it is written, “Noah walked with God,” that he needed support (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 214, “Known in the Gates”).

Question: From the article it follows that Abraham did not need support, but Noah did.
What is the message of the Creator for our generation on the eve of the convention? What do we need now?

Answer: We need support and an explanation of what we must do, how to unite, what to desire, and what stage of our connection to reach between us.

Question: Does it mean that our generation should make more of our own efforts?

Answer: Partly, yes. On the other hand, since we are in a generation far from Abraham, we still must understand that we have a specific condition. Overall, a good condition. We are very close to the Creator, although we do not yet feel how He treats us and how we influence Him. But still, these conditions exist.

Question: Are we reaching the level of partnership with the Creator now?

Answer: We feel a connection with the Creator, but it is not yet tangible.

Question: How does our egoistic mind become spiritual, and how do these changes occur in the ten?

Answer: The egoistic mind becomes spiritual gradually under the influence of the light of the Creator.

The closer we come to each other, the more we unite and the more we will be able to invite the influence of the light of the Creator upon us. This light will unite us, and under its influence we will come closer to the Creator and become like Him.

We will go through all this in our feelings and begin to feel how we are getting closer, uniting, and thus gradually approaching the goal.

The articles of Rabash contain the entire Torah. He takes it from the highest level and lowers it to our level so that we receive it in the most suitable form, which helps us grow and internally organize ourselves to achieve higher levels. Therefore, Rabash’s articles are the highest source for internal work.

The main thing is to try to penetrate them with your heart, not your head. Open your heart and strive to feel the Creator, and only then begin some movements inside the heart to find an even closer alignment with the Creator.

How can we bring our hearts closer to Rabash? Only by connecting with the hearts of our friends and opening our hearts. There is no other way.

In a few days, we will gather for a congress, which is entirely based on Rabash’s articles and is called “Life in the Ten.” I am very excited and look forward to this congress with great trepidation because the Creator has given us everything we need. Everything depends on whether we can realize what we have received, and our putting all our strength into it.

The whole path is open to us. We can now take off to the goal and reveal all the components we need to collect and attach to ourselves along the way. The main thing is to be highly concentrated. I truly hope this happens to us.

The process when a ten becomes one single whole is a gradual process of gathering people into tens, then tens, tens as units, into hundreds, and so on. This is how the spiritual pyramid is built, and thus we come to “one man.”

Question: How can we go through this process at the convention?

Answer: We will not be able to go through this process yet. Now we have to think only about our tens and how to connect them to such an extent that we feel what is before us. This is not the ultimate goal. It is still very elusive for us, but we need to know about it, think about it, and talk about it.

Question: Some of us go through difficult states. How can a ten raise them to the Creator?

Answer: Connect, despite the fact that everyone goes through a special state in their heart, in their desires, in their life circumstances, connect together. Then you will see why we need a group and Kabbalah in general.

Question: How can one constantly be in prayer for the ten and ask, ask, ask the Creator?

Answer: Pay attention to the slightest changes in your relationship. Then you will have reasons and words with which to turn to the Creator.

Question: How can I use a private state to raise a ten and not load it with the heaviness on my heart? By dividing the state to everyone, I make it easier for myself, but I burden others. Would it not be harmful to them?

Answer: No, by no means. In any circumstance, what you do, you do for everyone: in your questions, in your answers, and in your actions.
