Question: Lately we have been not just making prayers, but some kind of cry and demand to the Creator to help us correct ourselves so that we can have peace in the world. What is it?

Answer: This means that your heart begins to really open up and demand correction. This will lead us to universal correction.

The most important thing in our work is to unite and feel like we exist together, as if we are one, so that a group or several groups, or all students in general, stop feeling that there is some kind of separation between them. And then we will feel a greater revelation of what we want to attain.

Question: How can a person move to the right line from some neutral state?

Answer: I do not think that a person can instantly move to the right line because he still has a lot of various properties that are opposite to the Creator.

You must collect the correct attitude toward the Creator from your ten, demonstrate it to everyone, and ask for confirmation that you have the correct attitude toward the Creator. Then a right line will begin to appear.

At the same time, you develop strength in the right line. In this case, you attract the whole Kli to this line, and thus reach its correction, but only through yourself. Then the rest of your friends should follow you.

In other words, when you call on the ten to unite with a certain intention, for a certain purpose, and the ten agrees and unites with you, then they are already together in the right line.

Question: How can I check if I am in the right or only in the left line?

Answer: You are in one line if all three lines come together for you, and you are in the right line only when you are able to be in connection with someone and fully justify what comes to you.

Question: When a friend has obstacles and problems in the ten, it seems so simple and easy that I want to give advice. But is it better to show an example or continue to sort out the situation?

Answer: It is best to show an example. If this example is displayed correctly, it is necessary to repeat it.

Question: What is a free, strong desire to merge with the Creator?

Answer: A free, strong desire is a desire that is freed from Klipot and rushes to the Creator.

Question: Are the various temptations of the material world the biggest obstacles for us, or is it still a bad relationship between us?

Answer: In fact the biggest obstacle lies in the relationship between us in the group. The obstacles may be of a completely different type, but that is the reason.

Question: There are states when, after connecting with friends, you feel lightness and joy from connection, and sometimes there are states when serious heaviness occurs. Are both of these states correct or not?

Answer: Both are correct. In general, all states are necessary because all of them, one way or another, twist us and direct us to the Creator.

Question: When we are in a state of ascent, especially at a convention, we unite and feel pleasure from the light of the Creator.

If we do not make further efforts, but remain in a state of enjoyment, will we sooner or later fall?

Answer: Yes, as soon as you lose movement between yourself and forward toward the Creator, you immediately lose your state and fall back into sole egoism.

Question: If at the moment of the fall we begin to act with the help of the group and the sources, then we rise again?

Answer: Yes, but you cannot use it at the convention, there is no time, it is not the right state. At a Kabbalah convention, you should just feel each other and thus not lose your heart.

Question: Is the state of ashes a descent to the inanimate degree or a transition to the human degree?

Answer: The state of ashes can be at any degree; it is when a person simply loses a sense of where he is, with whom he is connected, and so on.

Question: What determines which quality currently dominates us?

Answer: It depends on what degree a person is at.

Question: Does the ten as a whole also go through all four degrees: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and speaking?

Answer: Partly, we have to go through all these degrees individually and all together.

Question: Should our dissemination include different degrees or focus on some of them?

Answer: No, it should not. You have to disseminate in a way that it will be clear to everyone.

Similarly, in spirituality, first, one needs to receive from below upward. At that time, he can only receive and not add.

But afterwards, in the second state, one can add as well (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 166  “Two Discernments in Attainment”).

Question: What do we receive from below upward: Hissarons (deficiencies) of the nations of the world or do we collect those sparks of light that fell into Klipa?

Answer: We collect all the sparks that have fallen into our egoism. We do not want to work with egoism, but we collect all the sparks and raise them, and from this our holy image begins to be created, which is aimed only at bestowal.

To do this, we try to be closer to each other and ask the Creator to connect us so that we feel who we are and what state we are in.

Question: How does love for the other lead to love for the Creator?

Answer: How else can one love the Creator? You only can based on the fact that you can practice by loving the other.

When you work on yourself and want to rise to the quality of bestowal and love, it turns out that first you have to get closer to your friends, feel yourself in unity with them, and then, based on this common feeling, you will be able to turn to the Creator.

Question: So there is no way to love the Creator directly? But many people have a feeling that they love the Creator. What is it? An illusion?

Answer: They just say that because their ego pushes them to do it: “A connection with the Creator? No problem, we are friends with Him. I love Him and I want Him to love me.” This is clear. But this is not what is required.

Question: Does the Creator love each of us directly or only through the whole of humanity?

Answer: Each one of us and all of us together, whatever you want, He knows each of us.

Question: Then why shouldn’t we treat Him directly, but through others?

Answer: The fact is that in order to develop the right feeling for the Creator, you must first reach the quality of love for your friends. That is, love for friends is a tool. When you reach this, then you will be able to communicate directly with the Creator.

With your friends, you will continue to be in a state of love, friendship, connection, and adhesion. You will always need them. You yourself will not want to give them up, because this is the Kli, this is the basis from which you come closer to the Creator.

Spiritual advancement lies in closer connection between friends, in turning to the Creator, and in revealing the Creator from a common point of unity. This state indicates that you are together with the Creator.

In this case, you can raise the point of unity to the level of permanent unification. There is nothing complicated about this, it is as easy as one, two, three. The only problem is that you do not want to listen to it and hear it.

Question: How can I turn to the Creator from the point of connection if I am an inveterate egoist and do not feel anyone except myself?

Answer: Try to turn to the Creator as a representative of your group, and this is how you will advance. Each one turns to the Creator on behalf of the ten, asks, and demands that the Creator move you forward.

Question: So when I try to formulate this request, I immediately imagine my friends, the ten, and I think from the state of connection?

Answer: You feel them all together, and from this common feeling you turn to the Creator.

Question: But if everything is predetermined from above, as Kabbalists say, then my friends’ destructive habits also come from the Creator. Can studying Kabbalah correct them?

Answer: We can correct anything we want if only we act in accordance with the laws of the spiritual world.

Question: What exactly should the mouth and heart be equal in since not everything that roams in the head and heart can be expressed in the ten?

Answer: You can say anything. I think that our friends are ready to understand and accept everything you say.

Question: What if it offends and leads a person astray?

Answer: So think before you speak.

Question: If the heart and mind have come to a state that they are important to each other, can they convey through the mouths the importance of unification to the group?

Answer: Even without uttering a word, you influence the group and become one with your friends.

Each degree in spirituality is a reality, and everyone sees the reality, just as all those who come to the city of London in England see what is in the city and what is said in the city (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 98 “Spirituality Is Called That Which Will Never Be Lost”).

Question: When we are united by some common desire, do we feel the light in it the same way?

Answer: No, everyone feels it individually.

Question: Then how can we have the same feeling if different people, different tens, connect?

Answer: Baal HaSulam gives an example that all visitors to London experience approximately the same impression.

Comment: But someone comes to London for shopping, someone to visit, someone to visit the royal palace.

My Response: It is exactly the same as you. The attainment of the spiritual degrees takes place in accordance with your needs.
