Question: How can we work on increasing hatred for the desire to receive when there is some fear of awakening hatred inside?

Answer: If you are connected to the ten, you can awaken this evil and not be afraid that it will charge at you like an angry dog. The main thing is to connect with your friends, and then you will succeed.

Question: We know that without love, there is no hate, and without hate there is no love. Can we use this law, or is it too early?

Answer: You have to love the love and hate the hatred, push away the feeling of hate and attract to yourself the feeling of love.

Question: We tune in to the Creator through the light coming from Him. How do we feel the point where we should make a restriction on the desire to receive and start working for the sake of bestowing to the Creator?

Answer: We should always try to feel mutually connected in one circle, in the center of which we want to reveal the Creator. A circle is a ten. Everything that we have from our connection with each other, we want to pass on to the Creator.

Question: When a person sinks to the bottom of his egoism, he reveals that he is a nobody since he cannot fix anything and cannot blame anyone for this. And here there is a hole, emptiness. How can you believe that this can change?

Answer: We must fill this emptiness with the quality of bestowal, rapprochement, and love.

Question: We hate the evil in ourselves, i.e., the desire to receive. But we cannot hate each other because we reveal the evil within ourselves. How is it possible that two people hate each other? And that is the question.

Answer: This is not a question, this is reality. If two people hate each other, then they hate the same property, only in different people, each in the other.

Question: Should the evil principle know that we hate it?

Answer: Of course. There is no need to hide it.

Question: What should we do if we in the ten do not feel either the front side or the back side of the Creator?

Answer: Love each other, and you will find the Creator among you.

Question: The primary sources say that you need to work from the impression that the work you are doing is great and holy. And if I don’t find such impressions in myself, can I impress others? Or do I have to put myself in a certain state first and impress others from it?

Answer: No, you can try to impress others, and this will give you a clearer sense of what you yourself lack in your heart. Then you will demand with great zeal from the Creator that He explain your condition to you.

Comment: But it feels like a snowball, because you’re not in a good state anyway, and then you go out into the environment, feel the difference, and dive even deeper into your condition.

My Response: So what if it makes you even more immersed? He who has not submerged cannot come up.

Comment: It’s just very difficult to interact with the environment because it turns out to be a complete separation, and you’re afraid to move because every movement seems to confuse you even more.

My Response: Well, let it be confusing. Then you will feel that you really need help. The main thing is to feel an urgent need for help. So don’t worry that you feel lost, abandoned, and weak; it is all good. It is all right.

A person who was very ugly came by his way. He told him, “Hello rabbi,” but he did not reply. He told him, “Vain, how ugly is that man, are all your townspeople as ugly as you?” He replied, “I do not know, but go and tell the craftsman who made me, ‘How ugly is this vessel that you have made’” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 56 “Torah Is Called Indication“).

We are not talking about any external manifestations of a person but about his internal qualities. Ugliness is one of the expressions of human egoism. The Torah never talks about external ugliness, only about internal ugliness, which needs to be corrected.

Comment: When I see ugliness from the outside, wanting to correct it, I catch myself thinking that I justify myself more than I strive for my own correction.

My Response: This is how our egoism manifests itself. Therefore, keep learning, and gradually you will put up less and less with the fact that you see the world as bad. On the contrary, you will see yourself as bad, and the world more or less corrected, normal, good, and kind.

Invest in the ten, get closer to it, and you will quickly get completely different answers from the Creator.

The true correction is that you feel more and more attached to the group and are ready to work and live for the sake of your friends.

Question: When thoughts about myself begin to overwhelm me, how can I not plunge into this baseness?

Answer: We must always hold on to the Creator and get closer to Him together with our friends. Only with the help of your friends can you hold on to Him. But this does not give any guarantee since only from descents do you approach a real ascent.

Therefore, you need to constantly strengthen the connection between each other. If there is a ten in which everyone thinks about everyone, nothing can lead you astray. Nothing. Even if you get ups and downs from above, no matter what, everything will be only for your benefit.

In the ten, every person is important, and if everyone succeeds in uniting with the rest, then this will be able to raise all friends higher and higher.

Question: What are the practical actions aimed at making an individual descent become the ascent of the whole ten?

Answer: It is necessary to combine personal descents with global descents and ascents. If I am able to turn to the Creator and ask Him to raise me from my personal descent to a higher degree, and He does this, then I am strengthened at this higher degree and begin to receive for the sake of the Creator.

Question: And if there is no sense of the Creator, but only a sense of friends?

Answer: Then, you have to continue working until you begin to feel the Creator. Start bestowing to your friends, influencing them, and then you will see that the Creator is hiding behind them.

Question: How do we pray for what we lack?

Answer: In your own words. Tell me in your own words what you think you lack in order to be fully connected with your friends and with the Creator.

On the other hand, what in your egoism would you like to get rid of in order to adhere to your friends and to the Creator?

Comment: I literally hate my egoism.

My Response: Great! So you have something to ask for.

Question: We all are trying to unite above our differences. Our goal for the connections between us is to reveal the force of the Creator, love, and eternity. How can we convey all this to the whole world, to the people of Israel?

Answer: You must try to connect through your hearts, and then what is in your heart will flow into the others’ hearts. You will feel it. Just work on it as a group.

Question: What determines the volume of our internal space where everyone can be placed for internal unification?

Answer: It is the size of the heart. And to work effectively with this thought, you need to open your heart to everyone.

Let us all embrace together and ask the Creator to bring us closer in a tighter embrace. That is how we arrive at a quick final correction. Baal HaSulam writes that we are already in the last generation, the generation of Moshiach (Messiah). What should we do? Just wish in your heart for this to come true for everyone.

Question: In article 241 of Shamati, Baal HaSulam writes: “Call upon Him when He is near.” By what signs can we understand that the Creator is close to us?

Answer: When we think about the Creator, we want to get closer to Him. When we have some kind of relationship with Him, it means that we are close to Him. At this time, you must definitely turn to Him and raise your requests.

Question: The article also says that if a person does not take advantage of the opportunity, he remains as before. What does it mean to “not take advantage of an opportunity”?

Answer: If you are given the opportunity to ask the Creator to draw closer to Him and did not do this, it means you did not use it.

Therefore, you must constantly tune your heart to turn to the Creator, especially together with your friends, and then you will definitely have the opportunity to contact Him, and an answer to your request will come from Him.

You must always try to feel as if you are tuning into this wave with your heart, and your request will not be sent into the void.
