Question: How can we increase the lack (Hisaron) in the ten so that it resembles the lack of the Creator who wishes to draw us to Him?

Answer: Constantly think about why you lack connection with the Creator and ask Him to increase this connection.

Question: That is exactly what I do. I constantly think about my lack of connection with the Creator, but this only increases my disappointment in myself.

Answer: No, the Creator needs your joy. You should rejoice that you have a desire for Him. This is a mandatory condition. A person must always be joyful that the Creator reveals Himself a little to him, draws him to Himself, and then he strives and approaches Him. This is very important.

Question: You said that only in connection with the upper force is the work of correction possible, and this is the prayer of the ten.

What should our request be so that we truly connect with the upper force and have the opportunity to be corrected?

Answer: Your appeal should be to a single Creator from a single ten.

To receive something from the Creator, you must be like the Creator—united in one system.

A sign of your connection with this force and the ability to work with it is that you receive support, correction, and a certain impact from the Creator.

Question: Is there a difference in the impact on the Creator when we pray out of suffering or joy and gratitude?

Answer: Of course there is. When we thank the Creator, we are closer to Him, and if we ask to cancel the suffering, we are far from Him.

We must not be grateful for suffering. It is unnatural. We must correct ourselves and be thankful for the correction.

Question: Should a person regret that they cannot delight the Creator as much as He wants to delight everyone?

Answer: Yes, one should think about this and ask the Creator to give us such vessels of bestowal (Kelim de Hashpa’a) when we can gather everything we reveal and receive, collect it together, and pass it on to the Creator.

Question: Is there a difference between prayer and a request to the Creator?

Answer: No, essentially it is the same thing.

Question: We should ask the Creator to awaken love for others in all of humanity. To achieve this, should we make calculations based on the quality or the quantity of our unity?

Answer: Both quantity and quality. Ideally, there should be ten friends aiming for the highest quality of connection between them.

Question: When I sit in a lesson with my ten, a lot of unrelated thoughts run through my head. I understand that during the lesson I should pray for my friends to be able to bestow to them. How can I succeed in this?

Answer: First of all, during the lesson, we should initially think about how to help everyone unite. I was brought here by various egoistic goals and rewards. But now that I am here, I should think about how to do what will benefit others, and I do not need any personal gain. My benefit will be only in bestowing to others. Then I will truly exist in the spiritual space.

Question: But what is the process itself? I understand that I need to ask the Creator for my friends. How do I do this? How can I check whether I have asked or not?

Answer: This will manifest in gestures, words, thoughts—in everything within you. If you do it only for others and not for yourself, it is felt. A person kind of floats in the air; at this time, he is considered an angel. An angel is a natural altruistic force.

Question: What should I do with the resistance that increases?

Answer: Work on it. This is how you acquire the screen, meaning you ask the Creator to give you the ability to act correctly.

Comment: But the resistance stops me.

My Response: No, you must ask. Ask and act. Act and ask.

Question: Is it enough to just remember this?

Answer: Try not to leave this state. If you do, return immediately! Meanwhile, ask the Creator not to throw you out of it again. After all, it was He who made you forget and leave the thought about your friends.

Start working, and you will see how a different order of thoughts will gradually form within you; you will begin to exist outside yourself. This will slowly allow you to distance yourself from your “I,” from your egoism.

Question: What should prayer be like? After all, we must ask the Creator not only to take away suffering and, through this, to better connect with Him, but also to correct the shortcomings that caused this suffering.

Answer: No, we only need to think about how to change our relationship toward suffering and where it comes from.

Question: If we pray for help for a suffering friend, is the entire ten undergoing a general correction of our connections?

Answer: Yes, you must join as if immersed in it. Then everyone can give a little strength to reduce the friend’s suffering.

Question: With thoughts and feelings that you are in sadness, trouble, pain, and grief, do we show dissatisfaction with the Creator?

Answer: In general, this is true. You just need to figure out why you are dissatisfied and why the Creator wants to give you such a state. What can you do about it? How do you get out of this state? It is your job.

Question: What is the factor that influences the feeling of the Creator’s answer to prayer?

Answer: It is as much as I am connected am I with my friends and I can connect myself with them to have one united Kli.

Question: What is the difference in the perception of the Creator’s light between various people? Does it depend only on efforts or on some properties the Creator gives?

It seems that some people feel the light without making an effort and some, on the contrary, cannot come to feel it through their efforts.

Answer: The Creator reveals Himself in both ways. Therefore, we need to make efforts, and how the Creator advances us toward Himself is His business. The main thing is to ask Him to draw us toward Himself.

Question: Does the Creator hear our desires or the strength and effort in our desires?

Answer: The Creator hears everything, all our nuances, what we want to receive, what we turn to Him with, etc.

Question: All day I have been intensely working on the thought of how to ask for my friends in order to bring them closer to the state of Ibur (conception). How can I exert more effort in order to create a real state of attack to reach this level?

Answer: I see no other way than to act on my own, to ask for myself, and to ask for others so that we can all annul ourselves and become one common spiritual body that only thinks about annulling its egoism at the very first stage.

To annul oneself means to fully integrate into each other, to think only about others and not about oneself. In this way, we perform the most productive spiritual action that we are capable of today.

And further, based on the fact that we will go “out of ourselves” and as if entering others, a completely new state will arise—altruistic egoism, which we will apply for the sake of others, not for ourselves. This is what we need to do.

But right now, we really need an attack on our egoistic thoughts and calculations so that all of them are only for the purpose of getting included in others and working as if in the body of our friends, helping them. Therefore, it is said: “Let each one help his friend.” After all, each one cannot ask and pray for himself; only for others.

Question: When we turn to the Creator for our friends, how do we annul our own participation in this?

Answer: When I ask for my friends, I try to make it so that I do not think about myself, as if I do not exist, but only they do. And where is my personal involvement? My personal involvement is only in that I ask for them, that I extend my request on their behalf, but no more than that.

Question: If a person perceives pleasure egoistically, like a harmful habit he can’t get rid of, and he suffers from the need to enjoy for himself and wants to get rid of this suffering, is this still aimed at his own benefit in order to ease his own suffering?

Answer: It all depends on the intention. Why do I want to get rid of receiving? Is it to make me feel nicer, pleasant, warmer, or more comfortable? Or do I want to stop receiving to be closer to the Creator?

And here, too, there are several questions. How egoistic is your desire to get closer to the Creator? Maybe you genuinely want to pay attention to Him and at the same time a favor.
