Question: It is said that by setting myself up for equality with the friends, I align myself with the Creator. Now I am at the lowest degree of my development.

How can I equalize myself with Him, and why is this necessary in my current state?

Answer: We must try to get closer to the friends in one common desire and thereby get closer to the Creator and connect with Him.

As soon as we begin to connect with each other and try to bring this connection closer to the Creator, we will begin to feel how the Creator, for His part, is increasingly turning to us and purposefully raising us to Himself.

And so we will move toward each other: the group on the one hand and the Creator on the other.

Question: How can we grasp the line where we can still receive something for the sake of the Creator and where it becomes a descent for our own sake?

Answer: We can discern this only in the light of the Creator.

The Creator influences us with His light in which we clearly distinguish when we act for the sake of others and when for the sake of ourselves.

Question: Should we somehow capture this light in the connections between us, feel it, and prompt each other?

Answer: No, you can’t feel it together. Each person feels the light as a result of their individual efforts to bestow.

Question: Should we give our soul to the Creator every second of our lives, or does our soul not belong to us anyway?

Answer: We must give absolutely everything to the Creator because everything that is in us, we received from Him. Both the good and the bad, everything that happens in us, manifests and comes to us from the Creator. Therefore we must direct ourselves, each and all together, toward Him. And then we will succeed.

We desire nothing in this life and this world except to receive the right intentions from the Creator, the right desire, and to strive for the goal of creation.

Question: How can all the good and bad coming from the Creator be transformed into giving to Him?

Answer: By wanting to rise above all this in order to adhere to the Creator.

Question: What is an evil state, i.e., evil itself? I feel like I am in a soap bubble in this state, and I am looking for a way to get out of it. Where does it come from and how is it connected to the global system?

Answer: This is a state where my egoism rules over me and I cannot do anything about it. I tremble all over, and I do not know how to tear it apart, burn it, or do anything to it. I can’t do anything; it is still dominates me.

This state of hatred toward it and at the same time its power over me is wonderful. It is the recognition of evil.

Question: We cannot rely on knowledge since they are receiving Kelim. The same applies to feelings since they are false and cannot be trusted.

What can we rely on if above the knowledge there are Kelim of bestowal, which we do not have yet? It turns out that we are hanging in the air.

Answer: When you are hanging in the air, try to hold on to each other. And then you will understand that your common desire is beneath you as a solid stable platform on which you can lean, stand, and not be afraid to fall.

Question: What is the main work of the ten at this intermediate point when we do not have support yet?

Answer: Only to hold on to each other!

Question: Will our path be suspended all the time, or will some solid ground appear on the way?

Answer: It will definitely appear when you reach it.

Question: How is the Creator revealed in a group when its members annul themselves before each other?

Answer: The Creator is revealed gradually according to our ability to rise above our egoism and connect with our friends solely through bestowal and love. It is within this collective desire that He is attained.

Question: Can we still build the Creator if not all the friends are working toward bestowal?

Answer: Yes, you can. Even if only half the group is working toward bestowal, you can still build an image of the Creator to depict Him before you and yourselves before Him correctly. Then, everything will be in order.

Question: Why does Rabash consider a group essential for spiritual growth?

Answer: This is not only Rabash’s view but the view of all Kabbalists since the first revelation of the Creator in our world.

As soon as people in our world began to attain Him, the wisdom of Kabbalah emerged among them, and they established the principle that the most important thing for those studying Kabbalah is to strive toward the Creator.

Question: Kabbalists say that all of humanity must come to correction. However, people, in general, are far from spirituality. Can we expect a radical correction of humanity through the methodology of Kabbalah in the foreseeable future? Or is the main focus our individual path?

Answer: We need to study the wisdom of Kabbalah with the aim of connecting with each other in our tens, within which we can reveal the Creator. From there, we will feel how tens can come together to form a larger group. That is our path.

Question: How is it that we as a ten come to a single opinion and all our spiritual accumulations become one accumulation?

Answer: Although our efforts in the ten are felt and appear differently, they all ultimately unite into one effort: attainment of the Creator.

Question: What does it mean “to be ready to die for the ten” in a spiritual sense?

Answer: “To die for the ten” means to completely renounce one’s egoistic goals for the sake of the ten.

Question: In what way should the feeling of the greatness of the Creator expressed so we can carry out the principles of bestowal?

Answer: All of this is expressed within a person. A person should feel how the Creator has revealed Himself to him and wishes to assist in his spiritual advancement.

Question: How does one attain the force of the Creator to work for the sake of bestowal within the ten?

Answer: You must show each other that you are working in this way, and then you will inspire in each other the same desire.

Question: What is the temple of the human soul and where is it located? Why do we not have a connection to it?

Answer: The temple of the human soul is in the Creator. When we strive toward the Creator, we simultaneously reach toward this temple.

Question: Everything comes from the Creator. The points in the heart, our thoughts, everything that happens all originate from Him. Does anything depend on me? What is my role, my responsibility?

Answer: Your role and responsibility are revealed specifically within the collective group where you are to bring all the friends, including yourself, to the united state in which you are all completely similar to the Creator.

Our goal is to achieve elevation to the highest level of creation. No one will leave you halfway uncertain about where to go next. Therefore, we must unite to the point of fully attaining the Creator and the entire system of creation. So be prepared for this.

By studying the upper world, we gradually begin to realize that it is based on bestowal and not on reception like in our world. That is why we learn to bestow.

Although our wisdom is called the wisdom of receiving (Hochmat haKabbalah), in its essence, it is built only on bestowal. So we will learn to bestow.

Question: How can I check the sincerity of my intention to bestow? After all, I can quite easily convince myself that my intentions are not at all egoistic and are aimed at the group, but deep down, I am deceived.

Answer: It will always seem to you that you are already in the quality of bestowal and love for the friends.

But then it will gradually be revealed that this is not so. It’s okay, this is the system of revealing egoism.
