Question: Why should I feel awe before the Creator rather than affection and gratitude toward Him?

Answer: We feel awe from the awareness of the Creator’s revelation when we attain Him. But in general, this is not mandatory; it comes by itself.

So let’s keep striving step by step to come closer to the Creator, to reveal Him, and will see what it evokes within us.

Question: How can we perceive this sense of awe to foster unity and love within the group?

Answer: Together as a ten turn to the Creator and implore, request, and plead with Him to lift you closer to Him. Use the simplest words, He will understand everything.

Question: In the ten, a great force is created that allows one to fight with oneself to annul egoistic desire. Does the force of egoism increase to the same extent?

Answer: No, the force of egoism practically does not increase. It is revealed slightly, in proportion to our spiritual ascent, so that we feel our connection to the spiritual ladder more deeply and recognize our connection with the Creator and with the friends at each degree more and more.

Question: How can we strengthen the connection within the ten so that it has the full potential to acquire qualities of bestowal?

Answer: You need to find a common language and shared feelings between you, otherwise the Creator will not raise you. Coming closer to the Creator is only possible through connection with each other.

To reach this, listen to what your friends say, try to feel their desire for spirituality, and be inspired by it.

Question: How can the principle of “make yourself a Rav” be implemented through the principle of “buy yourself a friend”?

Answer: If I make a friend a Rav (teacher), I thereby learn how to make him someone who is greater than myself.

I keep going until I feel that everyone above me.

The correct way to annul before my friends is when I bow my head to them, when I consider them above me, and therefore I can learn from them, and accept what they say as something higher.

That is what it says: make yourself a Rav, and in this way you will advance.

This is the most correct state. If each person makes himself lower than the others, he learns from everyone.

Question: What is the correct perception of the ten?

Answer: The correct perception of the ten is when I begin to imagine it as uniting into a single, unified whole within which the Creator resides. That is, the attribute of bestowal and love connects them together and is revealed within them. This structure is the connection of the soul with the Creator.

If I imagine it this way and desire to be included in it, this becomes like a compass for me, like a true direction in my development.

Question: When friends have very different opinions, it creates problems in the tens. What is the correct approach to resolving problems in the tens?

Answer: Each person can keep their own opinion. This does not bother anyone. But at the same time, one should focus on the connection within the ten and the revelation of the Creator within it.

You will never be able to align your opinions. Even if it seems that you think alike, you will not be able to check your thoughts. It may sound the same for a moment, but no more than that.

Question: We all get our knowledge from the right sources, from lectures and workshops. What can we add or take away to elevate a friend, to support them without belittling them?

Answer: Perhaps there is nothing we need to add or take away. If we put in the effort to come closer, then we genuinely form a unified Kli.

As we draw closer to each other, we draw closer to the Creator and can understand what exactly He wants from our ten.

Question: How do we break hearts of stone?

Answer: You need to attract all your friends into one common connection. When you are in it, you should work on making this connection like a boiling bath in which stones melt.

The stones are all the friends’ hearts. By boiling together, they melt and become one big stone. We must go through this.

To accelerate our spiritual growth, we need to be as close to each other as possible. It is best to compress into one heart and ask the Creator from it.

Question: Should I voice internal contradictions in the ten to improve our work?

Answer: No, you should not. But you can discuss this topic when you read the relevant excerpts from the articles. Then you can speak for yourself, not about your personal states, but rather about what is written about it in the articles.

Question: And if there are no contradictions, is this an indicator that the work has come to a stall?

Answer: If there are no contradictions, it is very bad. If you do not fight with the Creator several times a day, you have problems with Him. A person should feel that he is dissatisfied with the Creator, that he disagrees with His governance, and that everything is wrong and should be different.

All this is sent to him by the Creator so that a person begs Him to help him justify all these feelings. Then he becomes righteous and justifies the Creator.

Question: Is there any way to measure development in the ten? For example, such and such a relationship in the ten is the first grade of education. The manifestation of other relationships is the second grade of study, etc. Do I know that for the first ten years of working in the ten, I spent in the first grade, the second ten years in the second grade?

Answer: You have to feel it for yourself. I cannot tell you anything because it cannot be expressed in words. That is, when you start to see, not just feel, but compare your possible states, then you can talk more specifically about your feelings.

And so there is nothing to talk about, like with a baby with whom they are cooing and that is it. So let us hope that soon you will start babbling.

Question: Is there any sensory parameter that you can rely on? Let us say I cannot get up for class, which means I am in second grade; I cannot talk to my friends, which is a plus for me, third grade.

Answer: There is no such thing. At each stage, in each state, negative and positive forces manifest themselves, and in this way you adapt them to yourself, and learn from your own experience. And to tell you in advance which classes you are taking will not help anyway. I can, for example, name all 125 steps that we should climb, but they will not tell you anything.

AB, SAG, Ibur, Yenika, Mochin, ascents, and descents—you study all this, but you still do not have adequate sensations, and therefore you do not know where you are. When the appropriate sensations come, you will immediately begin to give them names from what you have studied.

To reach the goal of creation, we need to unite among ourselves, become like one person with one desire, meaning with one heart, and think only about how to attain the goal.

This means revealing the Creator so that He manifests as the center of the spiritual system, and we realize what the purpose of creation is, what we live for, and what we exist for. This is the goal of our lessons.

Attainment of the Creator depends on our efforts, on the fact that we try not to miss lessons, that we are united with each other, that we write down the main points of the study, and that we ask questions on the topic. Thus, within a few months we will start feeling our connection, and the upper world at the center of this connection.
