Question: What does it mean to be in the lesson?

Answer: It means to be present in the lessons and strive to unite everyone so that all the friends are connected to each other and through you to the Creator. And the correct global connection is when each of the ten fulfills this condition.

Question: How can we prepare for this?

Answer: There is no need to prepare; that is how you act when each of the ten wants all the friends to connect with the Creator through him.

Question: Can we help each other rise above the egoism that is unfolding between us?

Answer: Of course you can. You must help your friend by showing an example, hug him, cheer him up, keep him from falling, and be in constant connection with him.

All of the souls extend from the soul of Adam HaRishon, for after he sinned in the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, his soul divided into 600,000 souls (Rabash, Article 10, 1984 “What Is the Degree One Should Achieve in Order Not to Have to Reincarnate?”).

Adam HaRishon is a system of desires, which in the beginning were as one desire, and then shattered into 600,000 parts, then into many more parts, and more, so that in each of the created beings, there is some part of the common soul “Adam.”

Therefore, during our lives, and even during several life cycles, we need to try to change those egotistic desires that we reveal in ourselves into altruistic ones.

To do this, we must be in a group, among friends, learn correction from them, and they must learn from us, and through our efforts, we will help each other rise from egoism and obtain actions of bestowal and love.

Advice to a person who has begun to study the wisdom of Kabbalah: “Do anything you want, just do not leave!” Do not leave the group, this society, this place where the Creator brought you from the very beginning and said: “This is your destiny! Here you can advance. You have been given this place, and I will wait for you at the end of the road.”

This is how you need to treat this opportunity given by the Creator, and it is very important to stick to this path and hold on to this environment as much as possible. I know from my own experience that sometimes a student has a burning desire to run away, to give up everything, but there is no choice, one must try to hold on.

Moving to another group or another ten is a big problem. After all, the environment has already made room for this person, and now one is obliged to fill it. The ten must work on him and connect him with itself, like an organ with a body.

We know how complex and dangerous an organ transplantation is, and what complex preparatory work and subsequent rehabilitation it requires until the foreign organ takes root and starts working like a native one. The same thing happens to a person when changing tens.

The Creator organizes the ten and the best conditions for advancement for us. But we think that we can change it as we want. Of course, in our egoistic perception of reality, we see it in this way. But in fact, this is wrong. We must take this very seriously.

I do not know now whether this will be a strict condition until the very end of the correction because before us there are stages that no group in this world has ever gone through. But for now, we must try to tie ourselves to the ten in such a way that the departure of any friend feels like the cutting off of an organ from the body.

Question: How or through what action do we accustom ourselves to prayer so that our hearts agree?

Answer: We explore our thoughts and desires and try to bring them closer to each other.

Question: Are there any example of how to do this?

Answer: When you hear what your friends say, try to be with them in your heart.

Question: The best state for my friends is when they are in faith above reason. Then they have no claims against the Creator. How can I help them have faith above reason? Or is this still a group action? What means are there besides prayer?

Answer: Nothing exists except prayer. You and each of us must listen to the friends and be with them with all our hearts because connection happens precisely in the heart.

Question: The Creator demands us only to unite. How can we check in the ten whether we have achieved unity?

Answer: Checking for this happens when you feel the same opinions, desires, and aspirations when communicating with each other.

Then it follows that you work as if out of one common heart.

Question: In order for our prayer to be accepted, do we all have to realize in the mind of the heart that we cannot unite?

Answer: The Creator shows us this. We should strive to unite, as if we are speaking from a common heart, from a common desire, from a common intention, but at the same time, we will feel some difference between us. The Creator does this to bring us closer and closer together.

Question: When we rise above evil, do we not just cover it up because we need to ascend to the point of love. What is this feeling?

Answer: Do you want me to convey feelings to you?! How is that possible?!

Question: But what kind of love is this?

Answer: It is impossible to convey. It is a feeling that arises from the inner unity of hearts.

Question: Then, how do we rise above evil, overcome it, and transform it into love?

Answer: Unite the hearts.

Question: You said that the attainment of true reality is the attainment of spirituality. Is there a concept of an imaginary spiritual reality?

Answer: If it is imaginary, then it is not real.

Question: When we read about the righteous in the lessons, feel the state they were in, and thank them that such information comes through them, can we say that we are at some degree of spiritual attainment?

Answer: No. That is not yet a degree, but this is a preparatory state.

Question: I see my flaws in my friends. Does it mean that by praying for them I ask the Creator to correct me?

Answer: Yes, because you cannot ask for yourself since you are an egoist, but you can ask for your friends.

Question: At each degree, the main thing is faith above reason, which elevates us. But we must also desire the revelation of the Creator. Do these two desires—to reveal the Creator and go by faith above reason—not cancel each other?

Answer: No, they do not cancel each other. You will see how much faith above reason opens your eyes.

Question: By gaining experience from mistakes that do not lead to connection and bestowal, we develop some skill of how to avoid mistakes. Can this be called preliminary attainment, or is this some kind of psychological level of correction?

Answer: No, you should just rely on integrating with the group, and then, together with the group, your mistakes will be minimal.

Question: What role does the ten play in individual comprehension?

Answer: You perceive spirituality in the Kli (vessel) created by your ten.

Question: Why with these precise friends and not with others?

Answer: This is determined by the Creator.

Question: Is it possible to feel the state of a friend only when we are together at the same level in spirituality?

Answer: No, not necessarily. If you strive to understand each other and connect with each other, then it is possible in specific connections.

Question: Rabash’s articles pull me to a state I am not yet at, but want to be. After this, when we begin sorting them out, the mind and the egoistic nature turn on and seek some kind of justification.

How can I make sure that the entire ten and I will catch up with the state of Rabash and the desire of the heart?

Answer: The fact that you feel the difference between your mind and your heart is already good. The fact that you can even control yourself is also very good.

Now, you just need to check whether you agree with your heart and mind and whether you can bring them closer to each other. Then, you will feel what is essential in them and what is secondary.

The bringing together of heart and mind depends on how one aligns oneself with the Creator, the group, and the teacher. And then it turns out that he can simultaneously work in both the heart and the mind.

Question: Do we only need to be concerned with correcting desires, and the agreement of the heart will be the test?

Answer: Heart and desire are the same thing. If you check your desires, it means you check your heart.

Question: When I try to stay on the subject, I notice that I am failing hopelessly. Why?

Answer: To show you where you are. Therefore, this is good.

Question: We do not want to pray with our hearts because we fear losing. How can we stop being afraid of losing the feeling of this illusion, i.e., our egoistic life? Where is my ten in all this?

Answer: You need to find the ten. You need to feel the ten. You just need to adhere to the heart of your friends.

Question: It is said: “Do not judge a friend until you are in his place.” Does this mean that we should completely abandon the assessment of the actions of our friends? Or is it not worth dwelling on it? What should be our attitude to this?

Answer: The main thing for us is to take care of coming closer to a friend so we can understand him correctly. After that, we can do other actions.

Question: A prayer from the heart should be such that we are not afraid to lose all our egoistic desires. Why?

Answer: A person must be willing to lose all his egoistic desires to be able to connect with the ten. That should be his prayer.
