Question: There is division in our ten. Some of the ten are only for joy and some are in different states. So the ten set a condition that everyone should gather together only in joy, and if you are in a descent, you should turn off the camera. Is this correct?

Answer: When a person goes to a meeting in the ten, he must be in an elevated mood. This is a mandatory condition; otherwise, the Creator will not accept his prayer.

Question: The more I study, the feeling of joy in me calms down more and more. It is as if it is hiding inside.

What should joy be like? Is it a feeling that you hide inside or should everyone see that you are happy to serve the Creator?

Answer: Joy should be common and all-encompassing in that you and your friends express your common desire to reach the Creator in order to bring Him your desire and fill Him.

Question: The world exists on mutual bestowal. How can this concept be developed within the ten?

Answer: Mutual bestowal within the ten means that each of you cultivates love for your friends and is focused solely on this.

Question: What if a friend is not actively participating in the circle of bestowal within the group? Can the others bring her into the circle, and how?

Answer: They can, but it is very difficult. It requires literally infecting her with the necessity of bestowal.

Question: You always look optimistic. Is it possible to learn optimism from you?

Answer: Since there is a Creator above me who guides me, then, of course, I am constantly in joy and constant connection with Him.

If you believe the Creator controls everything and there is no one besides Him, then you must be connected to Him all the time and feel eternity and perfection. Get used to this and thank the Creator.

Question: Should we come to the ten with a smile, kindness, and warmth, regardless of whether you are an optimist or a pessimist?

Answer: In any case you must do what the Creator requires of you. Then you will see where you may get an opportunity to thank Him.

Question: We often hear a friend say: “I cannot give any more.” How should we work with this “I cannot”?

Answer: Offer your help. By helping them, you help yourself. So there is no need for either of you to think that you are taking away part of their work or pushing them forward. All of this comes purely from the attribute of bestowal.

Question: In the Psalms of David, the phrase “Seek My face” is often repeated. Does seeking the face of the Creator mean seeking joy?

Answer: Seeking the face of the Creator means seeking His revelation. It is more than joy.

Question: When we are in a state of descent, we most often feel bitterness. How can one find joy in such a state?

Answer: Think about the proper state: the Creator lifts you up, you connect with Him, you feel how He embraces you and holds you like an infant, and you cling to Him and find joy in that.

Question: All sources say that in the multitude of people the greatness of the Creator increases. How can each ten include the global group in its prayer to increase the joy of the Creator?

Answer: In your intentions and nothing more.

Question: We speak of the need to feel joy and love for the Creator. What should we do to bridge the gap between hearing about it and actually experiencing it?

Answer: You need to lift your mood automatically, both for yourself and for others, through yourself. Try it and you will see what it brings.

Question: What does it mean to receive blessings from all sides?

Answer: From women, from men, from those who are distant and those who are close, from friends, and the Creator, a person must strive to restore and maintain his connection with all these sources. Gradually he will begin to sense that he can receive fulfillment through these connections.

Question: What does it mean to receive a blessing in the ten?

Answer: It means that within the ten, there is a feeling of the Creator addressing them. In this case, they can connect and direct the connection emerging between them toward the Creator. In this way, they establish contact with Him.

Question: How can perfection in the ten be achieved?

Answer: By each person desiring to receive with the intention to bestow to the other.

Question: What is the inner dance of the ten that gives unceasing joy?

Answer: If we are constantly looking for an ascent, then we will naturally begin to descend and rise from it. Such ascents and descents are called a dance that we must remain in; that is, we need to constantly seek how to rise to spirituality and beware of being lowered.

Our egoism will always work to lower us, and we must be grateful to it for the opportunity for another ascent. This is the correct work with our egoism.

Question: Is this ascent of the soul, the dance of the soul, and love for the Creator a support within knowledge?

Answer: No, all this is above knowledge. Within reason we do not see, feel, or sense any taste.

Question: How can you make the ascents and the descents happen at a fast pace so that the joy never stops?

Answer: You must be responsible for the state of spirit in your ten, and then you will achieve a lot.

Question: When we study the Torah in the ten, we read it first as a text. What happens to us when we suddenly begin to see, as Baal HaSulam writes, the upper worlds: Yetzira, Beria, and Atzilut?

Answer: These are levels of attainment, levels of connection, and levels of mutual influence between you and the Creator. At some point, you or the ten begin to feel these levels and everything that happens in a different key, like a child who has grown up and now feels the world and others differently.

Question: How does this happen with a Kabbalist? Does he come to the lesson, read the text as it is, and can rise to the sensation of the upper worlds? Or is it some kind of cumulative process over the years?

Answer: For a Kabbalist, this is a cumulative process. In addition, he is at a certain level to begin with.

Victor asks:

Your Moses led the people to the land of Israel, he did everything that the Creator told him. And then, when they had already approached the border, the Creator suddenly said to Moses: “Turn over your duties—you will not enter this land. You will die here on this mountain.”

How is this possible? It is clear that people committed all sorts of sins before the Creator, but Moses was His devoted servant. Let him enter, he was waiting for this moment so much!

Comment: Indeed, in the Midrash Rabba it is written even more coolly. There are even thoughts of Moses, who says: “I have walked so much, let me at least touch this land! After all, I was walking and dreaming of entering this land.”

My Response: You walked and dreamed of fulfilling the desire of the Creator every day, every minute, with every step.

Question: Is this the main thing? Was it my goal to come to this, in fact? Is this my final test, then, which I have to pass?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this not cruel?

Answer: It may seem cruel to us.

Question: Is it necessary that I deserve to enter there? Or do I have to, as you say, annul myself and work as He guides me every moment, and that is it?

Answer: You must devote yourself to the Creator every moment.

Question: Then there is a question. It is written there that there were sins of the people, and there was the sin of Moses. Can it be said in relation to the sins “Because of your sins you will not enter.” Can this happen?

Answer: In general, yes. It is written this way.

Question: Is not to sin a possible option, or will we sin in any case?

Answer: It is impossible.

Question: So, we sin?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Can we say that today humanity is being punished by the Creator for not entering a land?

Answer: In general, yes. Of course, judging by our daily states, we are undergoing punishment. But on the other hand, this punishment is still purifying us, changing us, and bringing us closer to the Creator.

Question: Can I come to terms with what is happening while I am living with this thought?

Answer: What else can you do?

Question: Does it mean that I am going through purgatory?

Answer: Yes, You need to grasp the fact that you must adhere to the Creator every moment and stick to Him as much as possible.

Question: Let us say a person has been awarded the sense of adhesion with the Creator and considers the bestowal that he makes as a gift from the Creator. Can he ask to receive for the sake of others?

Answer: If he purely bestows and has no desire to receive for himself and does not want to use it, then he can ask to receive for the sake of a friend.

Question: How can I tell if this feeling is genuine and I did not invent it myself?

Answer: There is no way. Just act. As a result, you will begin to feel which of your desires were genuine or false and what you can do with them.

In other words, through reinforcement in Torah and work, he was rewarded with repentance from love, when sins became as merits (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 354, “Abraham Gave All that He Had”).

In order to strengthen in the Torah and in the work, each member of the ten, despite having multiple obstacles of all kinds, must try to break through them and connect with the Creator in such a way that all the obstacles further strengthen his connection with the Creator and attach him to Him.

And when sins become merits, you feel how the Creator’s attitude toward you changes, and you begin to understand that everything you previously evaluated as bad was actually for your benefit.

Question: What does it mean “to be rewarded with a response out of love”?

Answer: It is a state when a person asks the Creator to give him strength to relate to the Creator with love.
