Question: How much love can I receive in order to pass it on to my group?

Answer: If it is true love, then there is no limit to receiving love and no limit to giving it. The whole problem is in receiving love that does not turn out to be limitless. Baal HaSulam writes that boundless love turns into hatred in us. We cannot answer it because we cannot limit it in our Kli.

Therefore, if parents endlessly love their child, then they disfigure him. After all, he does not have the opportunity to feel where the boundaries are. As a result, he begins to hate his parents. It comes from nature. He gets the desire to pierce them, to do something in spite of them, because they do not set boundaries for him with their love.

It is a well-known principle that we receive everything in our Kli in a limited form. Thus, when we give something to another, we must explain these boundaries, convey them along with our love: “I love you from here to here and no more.”

By nature, we are very limited and do not perceive infinity, which we will be able to feel only with complete correction. Therefore, if you give infinite pleasure to a small Kli, it turns into hatred. In no case should you do that.

But you can always add love to our work. Do not be afraid, you are still far from making it endless.

Question: Will states of hatred in spiritual work constantly arise, and must they always be covered with love?

Answer: The Book of Zohar says that the students of Rabbi Shimon, who wrote this book together, experienced such intense emotions toward one another that they wanted to kill each other. This refers to great Kabbalists on high spiritual levels.

Therefore, if you think that your minor negative attitudes toward others will simply transform into good ones, don’t; such hopes are futile. On the contrary, even more irreconcilable feelings toward others will arise within you, so that you will ask the Creator to change them.

He will correct them, and simultaneously awaken deeper egoistic desires in you in which you will feel even greater hatred. Then you will ask Him for even more correction, and He will continue to correct them.

This is how, step by step, hatred followed by love, hatred followed by love, you will move forward.

Thus, the greater a person becomes compared to their friend, the greater their egoism because the previous levels of egoism have already been corrected.

The true joy in spiritual work is the reward of faith above reason.

Is there joy in faith above reason? Of course, there is. The greatest joy is there because in this state a person is fully included in the Creator.

We should feel that we are pleasing the Creator in the ten. This should be our demand.

Question: How important is acting out joy when you do not feel it?

Answer: You need to tune in to joy and bestowal, and you will see how quickly this will advance you.

Question: How does the Creator open a person’s eyes and heart to His greatness?

Answer: The Creator does this with the help of light, and then a person receives the corresponding sensation.

To live in the ten in the greatness of the Creator means that each of the friends and all together they think only about how to reveal His greatness and move forward under the influence of this sensation.

Question: How can we properly correct those uncorrected desires that may have been hanging between us like heavy weights for years?

Answer: The fact is that we approach increasingly heavier desires gradually. The Creator reveals to us precisely the level of desires that we are capable of correcting.

Therefore, we should not run away from them, but, on the contrary, we should constantly bring them before the Creator. And then we will feel what is wrong between us, between us and the Creator. This is our work.

When a person moves forward and wants to be in harmony with the Creator, then he sees which of his desires contradict correction and hinder him. At that point, he turns to the Creator and asks for His help.

Question: What should I bestow to my friends and the entire ten from my desire to receive?

Answer: You must approach your friends and invite them to go to the Creator together and in such a way that you have no doubts that you are on the right path. In addition, you must give each other support and the right direction of thoughts and desires.

Question: What does it mean to give yourself completely to the Creator?

Answer: It means to be constantly in the intention to act for the sake of the Creator. If a person tries to adhere to this intention, then he has no descents.

Question: How can we help each other in the ten to reveal the common deficiency (desire) through which we can come to know the Creator?

Answer: In the ten, we must be connected to one another through mutual bestowal, mutual support, and mutual connection so that whatever each of us receives is distributed among all members of the ten.

If we think this way, we will begin to feel the connection within the ten. And then anyone who receives even a little from the Creator, from their action, from their prayer, will distribute this among everyone.

Question: How can we help each individual in the ten incorporate in the common deficiency in order to bring contentment to the Creator?

Answer: When you feel the need to turn to the Creator, draw in as many desires, sensations, and connections between yourselves and your friends as possible, and turn to the Creator so that He can unite and fill you.

Question: Is “faith above reason” always some kind of deficiency in the mind and feelings that I need to compensate for? Or is it preferable to remain in the sensation of the Creator despite opposing feelings?

Answer: If you feel that you have faith above reason and it fills you, then you have nothing more to worry about. You should focus only on how to thank the Creator.

Question: Can we consider failure as success, the meaning of which we will understand later?

Answer: No, we must still act, and in these actions feel the Creator’s attitude toward us.

Question: How can one maintain focus on building spiritual Hisaron (lack) in any state and patiently await joy from it within the ten?

Answer: This must be your constant effort. Then you will see what else can be derived from uniting with friends or what to request from the Creator or the group in order to always remain in the correct intention.

Question: How can one strengthen faith that the Creator is good and does good?

Answer: Strive to be like Him.

Question: We are trying to conceal our desire to receive in order to connect with our friends in the ten. How can we achieve revelation in our work with the help of the screen?

Answer: I want to receive the upper light on my egoism, which, by elevating me above the ego, will help me connect with my friends and, from our connection, turn to the Creator.

The essence of the screen is that with its help I work with my egoism and transform it into the quality of bestowal in order to connect with my friends and with the Creator. In response, the Creator gives us the strength to accomplish this.

Question: What does “he should take a wife specifically from his family” mean in spirituality?

Answer: It refers to the connection between souls—closer and more distant ones. Our forefathers and foremothers were, in a sense, relatives. This is written about in the Torah.

From a spiritual perspective, a “wife” represents a person’s connection with the Creator, which helps them reveal the upper.

Question: Am I correct in understanding that we must have a desire to receive for the sake of bestowal? Is that what “from his family” means?

Answer: Yes, any reception must be for the sake of bestowal. It develops from our soul.

Help your friends with what they need, and you will see that in doing so, your own desire to receive for yourself will fade.
