Question: Is our task not to try to solve anything ourselves but to once again ask the Creator to come closer to us and thereby accept any of His decisions?

Answer: Our work comes down to the fact that we want to be connected to the Creator, to adhere to Him, and that is it. After all, any other action would always be incomplete and imperfect except for the one that leads us to adhere to the Creator.

Therefore, we need to think about it, which is the easiest thing because we should not interfere with the Creator’s care for us.

Question: How do we interfere with Him taking care of us?

Answer: Perhaps with your wrong requests.

We must always strive to be as close to each other as possible, to help each other as much as possible, and to imagine as much as possible that we are in a continuous and great connection with each other. And to the extent of the quality of this connection, we can reveal the Creator. Attaining the Creator is our most significant task—something that the world lacks so much.

As a result, we will reveal the Creator to the whole world and thereby give Him maximum pleasure, since His property of good that does good is revealed to both sinners and righteous. Then the entire world Kli will be filled with the light of the Creator.

Question: Sometimes you say that the Creator does not exist, that He can only be revealed in bestowal and good relations between us. So to whom do we pray if the Creator has not yet been revealed?

Answer: It does not matter that the Creator has not been revealed relative to us. We simply ask Him to understand us, come closer to us, and bring us closer to Him.

Question: How can we feel the Creator’s desire toward us at every moment?

Answer: For this one must strive to be in bestowal toward the Creator. Then, through the equivalence of form, you will sense His attitude toward you. Through His response, you will feel that you have made the right step toward Him. And to always be ready for the Creator’s response, we must consistently and clearly approach Him, and not leave it from time to time, but continuously gain strength of pressure on the Creator, strength of drawing closer to Him.

Question: How can I verify that my prayer is sincere and that the Creator responds to it?

Answer: The Creator gives you such circumstances. What you feel in yourself as fulfillment is the Creator’s answer.

Question: What is this special prayer when I pray for a friend’s health? Sometimes no matter how much I ask, the friend remains sick. Something is happening that I cannot influence. How should I relate to this correctly?

Answer: You need to rise to the level where you can see that everything depends on you. Every person, all the people in the world, in every moment of life, depends entirely on you. So you just need to elevate this importance.

Question: What does it mean to create a Kli of the ten?

Answer: In order to create a Kli of ten, ten people unite to form one desire that they strive to realize.

If they are fully aware of it and are in it, this common desire is called a ten.

By fulfilling the requirements of unification, they begin to feel each other and the Creator.

Question: We have daily meetings of the ten. How can we sum up our unity at the end of the meeting and draw some conclusions to reinforce the Kli?

Answer: Of course, you can meet every day and discuss, but overall, even two or three times a week is enough to share your impressions of unification with your friends, talk about new things you can reveal in it, and how to rise higher and higher in unity, closer to the Creator.

Question: If we renew ourselves daily and start from a clean slate, what is the correct prayer for everything that was, is, and will be? Or should we focus on the present moment and ask for corrections now?

Answer: When we speak of what was, is, and will be, it reflects our attitude to the Creator as the source of everything. But if we ask Him to change us at the present moment, then we are talking about our immediate, moment-by-moment connection, and we turn to Him with this request.

Question: What is more important: to pray for your longevity or for the connection with you not to be broken?

Answer: Do not pray for my longevity or connection with me, but for your connection within the group and with the Creator.

Question: How can one stay focused on the source while suppressing one’s ego to achieve at least minimal contact?

Answer: It is by turning to the Creator and asking for the force of bestowal rather than the force of reception.

Question: I understand a prayer directed outside of me. We say, “Give me this, give me that.” But what should a  prayer “inside me” be? What is it?

Answer: Inside me is egoistic and outside me is altruistic, for the sake of others.

Question: Against the background of strength gained from the convention, I did not feel small; on the contrary, I felt like I was as great as our friends. Is it good to remain in such a state or should I humble myself a bit?

Answer: It is good to stay in that state. Do not be afraid to feel great. Just as a hen covers its eggs with its body to hatch them, you can act similarly toward others.

Question: What is the part of a prayer when we say: “The Creator is great, merciful, and mighty”? We know that prayer consists of gratitude and requests. That seems more like praise.

Answer: But that is what is in your heart. You feel and say these words based on what you are feeling.

Question: Can praise help when someone is in a state of descent and cannot move forward?

Answer: No that would be a lie. It is impossible to lie to the Creator.

For even a thief in hiding calls on the Creator. For this reason, it does not require Mochin de Gadlut to keep the branch from cutting from its root (Baal HaSulam, Letters, 18).

Question: What does this mean?

Answer: It means that even “a thief in hiding calls on the Creator,” thus, there is no need for the upper light to guard him so that he does not disconnect from the Creator.

Question: Religious people are born with the name of the Creator and live with it. How can I come to a state where there is none else besides Him and I begin to love without knowing who, just as they revere Him?

Answer: The thing is, there is a big difference between your path and theirs. The Creator Himself gradually brings you to Him and pulls you toward Him.

Question: How can I attract the force of overcoming and work only for the sake of the Creator?

Answer: You need to ask to be able to change what descends upon you from above through your desire.

Question: If I ask, while in Lo Lishma, about what will come of my work and I do it with the intention of annulling myself, is there room for a personal request here?

Answer: There is almost never room for a personal request. You can have a personal one only after you rise to the level of a common request.

Question: To reach the first spiritual degree, do we need to awaken a certain number of souls? How will this happen?

Answer: It will happen through the correction of those who have already been awakened.

Question: We are at the finish line coming to the convention. Tens are working to their limit if I can put it that way. What is more important at this point: to connect strongly or to ask the Creator to connect us?

Answer: When do you think you will be able to achieve connection?

Comment: When we ask Him together.

My Response: That is exactly what needs to be done.

Comment: So it is essentially one action made up of two parts. Our goal is to connect, but we cannot do it on our own, so a prayer to Him arises.

My Response: Yes, you do so every day until you see that you are connected.

Question: Will the Creator let us know?

Answer: Of course.

Question: For a Kabbalist, what is the magnetic field that helps the point in the heart and egoism to exist?

Answer: Our heart is an organ that attracts everything it likes and rejects everything it dislikes. We must place a screen before our heart and engage not with what pleases us, but with what can destroy our egoism and connect us with the Creator. In other words, we must connect with our friends through our heart, and in this way, we will draw closer to this.

Question: How does the point in the heart turn into a screen (Masach)?

Answer: It happens under the influence of the upper light. If, in unity and prayer, you turn to the Creator, you will attract the reforming light (the light that returns to the source), and it will begin to correct you.
