Question: Why is the plan of creation arranged in such a way that bestowal gives rise to resistance?

Answer: In order for us to reach the correct direction in our desire and intention, we need both the forces that move us forward and the forces that push us away from advancement.

Therefore, we must clearly understand the state we should be in now: in a continuous request to the Creator to unite among ourselves and with Him.

Question: How do we clarify our common desire in order to turn to the Creator in the right way?

Answer: By talking with one another. When you read excerpts from articles of Baal HaSulam and discuss them, common desires arise in you with which you turn to the Creator and ask for advancement.

Question: How is a true prayer connected with love for one’s friends?

Answer: A true prayer can exist only through the aspiration to connect with one’s friends. There is no other way.

So let us define this state in which we are completely united with one another and with the Creator.
When we build this state within us and direct it toward the Creator, we will feel how much closer it brings us to Him. At that point, we can pause and examine whether we have truly come closer to Him or not.

If we have drawn nearer in some measure, what do we do next? Once again, we raise our desire to the Creator in yearning to be together with Him. In this way, we constantly move forward in relation to the Creator, drawing ever nearer to Him.

Question: It feels like we lack the words for prayer. Does prayer express itself through words or through feelings?

Answer: The prayer is revealed in the process of searching for those feelings within me that can connect with the Creator and how I turn to Him.

Those states, those requests are the very desires I want to uncover in order to attain the Creator.

Question: So this happens only within me?

Answer: Yes, only within you.

Question: How can I feel that not only my life but also the lives of my friends depend on my prayer?

Answer: You simply need to deepen your thoughts about how connected you must be with all your friends, at least during the congress. Then you will begin to sense, to some extent, the force of connection you wish to attain.

Question: What is the perfection of our prayer?

Answer: It lies in the certainty that if we reach the right kind of prayer, the Creator will surely answer it. In this way, we attain the goal. We will understand this through the states we go through as each one leads us closer to adhesion with the Creator.

Question: How is this different from our current states?

Answer: The point is that we still have no true connection with the Creator. Feeling that some force governs us does not mean we are connected with it.

We call out to it, we feel that we lack it, that without it we are completely abandoned, but if we persistently strike at one point, we will certainly achieve adhesion with the Creator.

Question: Besides uniting at congresses, raising a common prayer, working in tens and dissemination, attending lessons, and reading the sources, what else can we as a community and as individuals do to bring Israel to correction and become an example for the whole world?

Answer: We must ask the Creator for unity, to show us the unified point of connection among us so that we always have such a center of connection, and that only this would be important to us.

Question: How can we now make our hearts similar to the Creator’s so that He may dwell in our shared heart?

Answer: We need to imagine the connection between our hearts, and from this collective heart, raise a prayer.

In principle, it is not so far from us. Let’s try to do it together and discover where else we can draw closer to one another.

Question: When a person faces utterly ugly situations that cause great pain, he can understand that this pain gives him the conditions to work with the heart for the right kind of prayer. But when he keeps striking through this pain in prayer, he realizes he has no strength left. How can he remove himself from this pain and use it as a condition for the proper prayer for everyone?

Answer: A person must realize where this feeling of pain comes from—from the Creator. Why? Because despite his thoughts, the person is actually close to the Creator.

Therefore, we must strive toward the point of connection with the Creator. And when we reach it, we must leave ourselves behind and envision ourselves fused with the Creator.

That is the purpose of our prayer.

Question: What should one focus their efforts on in spiritual work: feeling the individual desires of the friends in the ten or on sensing the collective aspiration without being distracted by particulars?

Answer: It is more effective to concentrate your efforts on collective aspiration. First I recommend finding this shared yearning, connecting to it, accepting it as your own, and using it to move forward.

Each person must feel that the entire ten depends on them. You must take the ten into your hands and carry it toward the Creator. That is exactly what we need to feel.

The ten should live within the heart of each one of us so that we constantly sense it, never let it go, and in this way, carry it to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to open the heart? What is power over the heart?

Answer: Power over the heart means that I can direct my heart and decide how it should work, whether it will be open or closed to others, strive forward together with someone or not, and so on. This is the work within the heart.

Question: When we make an “attack” on our own heart, what is our main mistake?

Answer: That is something each person must discover for themselves. Matters of the heart cannot be handed over to another. In general, we can talk about it, but in essence, only you can precisely determine it for yourself.

Question: Rabash writes that I must awaken my friends’ hearts. Do I have to commit myself, or does the Creator oblige me to do it?

Answer: It does not matter if it comes from you or the Creator. But you must awaken the hearts of your friends. The most important thing for you is to be united with everyone and to awaken their hearts.

Question: The congress is approaching, and it seems that each one attending must add an extra effort to achieve our common goal. What is this super effort?

Answer: To unite for the sake of feeling the Creator in the center of our unity.

Question: How can we eliminate fears and doubts that arise along the way?

Answer: There is no way to do it individually. Only together by holding on to each other and working together on the recommendations of Rabash will we be able to come out of the darkness into the light and at the same time not lose anything but gain.

Question: If some friends cannot attend the congress virtually or physically because of work, how can they connect to their tens?

Answer: Connect in any way you can through devices, phones. Do everything in your power.

Question: Can we say that the Kli (vessel) of a ten becomes included in an even greater Kli?

Answer: Undoubtedly. All Kelim (vessels) are included within one another.

Question: So does that mean the ten itself shouldn’t really exist separately, but should merge into others?

Answer: Don’t dictate what “should” be! From what you feel, you must understand that this is what the Creator is sending you, and that is what you must work with.
