Question: Based on our discussions, it seems important for us to reveal the Creator because we were chosen for this.

We should simply accept this as a fact and from this state form a prayer. What is special about such a prayer?

Answer: The fact that you want to find contact with the Creator and only through this contact, connection with Him.

Question: If I send a prayer to the Creator every morning after having united the hearts of all my friends by name into one heart, does this prayer have the power of the ten? How strong is this prayer even though I do it alone?

Answer: Ideally you should try to feel the response of the Creator in your common connection in the ten. If you persistently try to do this, you will start to feel it.

Question: Within us lies tremendous spiritual force. How can we unlock this force in which creations are to unite with the Creator? Is it only through the screen?

Answer: Only through the Creator. The Creator will do everything necessary, both the screen and the connection.

Question: What should I internally ask the Creator for?

Answer: It is up to you what you ask for. It all depends on your relationship with Him, what desire the Creator evokes in you, and with what desire you approach Him. Ask to understand this desire and ask to fulfill it so that He can help you with this.

Question: When people get intoxicated from the “wine of Torah,” can they lose the desire to purify themselves?

Answer: No. It is a special kind of intoxication. It elevates degree by degree.

Question: In the article “Who Comes to Purify,” Baal HaSulam talks about two states: the state of coming and the state of coming and going. What is the difference?

Answer: The difference is that a person comes with a problem and leaves with a gift.

Question: How does a constant prayer correctly combine with joy?

Answer: Joy in prayer, prayer in joy. There are no contradictions between them.

Question: How can one reach the attribute of “the one who came to purify” and stand before the Creator?

Answer: The most important thing is to study the sources, try to feel each article, and then you will be able to present yourself to the Creator.

“And then pray” means that everyone should examine himself and see how much effort he is giving to the society. Then, when he sees that he is powerless to do anything for society, there is room for prayer to the Creator to help him and give him strength and desire to engage in love of others (Rabash, Article 17, Part Two, “The Agenda of the Assembly”).

Question: In the article “The Agenda of the Assembly,” Rabash writes that after a person has checked himself, realizes he has no strength, and turns to the Creator, he must think that his prayer has been accepted.

What does it mean? Is it that you don’t receive an obvious answer, but must think your prayer is accepted?

Answer: Nobody receives an explicit answer from above. It is just that when we put a lot of effort into getting closer to each other and clinging to each other, all together in this circle of friends trying to achieve some kind of joint effort, we begin to understand how important it is for us, how necessary it is, and, in general, how real it is.

Question: It seems to you that you turn to the Creator but do not receive an answer. That is, the friends do not become important in your eyes. Is it different from how it works when what you ask is what you get?

Answer: No, they become important. There is no such thing as “asked and received.” Gradually, the friends become closer and begin to feel that there is truly a connection between them. And then they can test it in their sensations.

“He who comes to purify is aided.” This means that one should always be in a state of “coming”  (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 131 “Who Comes to Purify”).

A person should always check whether he has something to turn to the Creator with.

The Creator is only waiting for a request for correction. This is a pleasure for Him, this is the best state for Him.

Therefore, as soon as we find out what needs to be corrected, we need to check ourselves and turn to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean: I have been aided to get purified?

Answer: You are helped from above by being pulled up.

Question: What actually brings a person pleasure? Is it the act of bestowal to a great person or to the Creator, which in principle are the same thing, or is it the equivalence of qualities when I feel that I am like Him?

Answer: It is the equivalence of qualities. Being similar to the Creator is a very high level. By achieving this, you completely adhere to Him and become absolutely like Him! Therefore, there is no higher state than a person coming closer to the Creator.

Comment: In all sources it is written that the Creator does not think about Himself. He does not have such thoughts. He is like an energy station that only emanates, gives, creates, and unites all of nature, starting from inanimate substances and ending with humans. So in principle, I want at least to have such inclinations.

My Response: To achieve that, you really need to ask the Creator to give you such a nature. This cannot be manifested in a person in a natural way without asking!

Question: What gives a person the guarantee that they will not remain in their egoistic nature for the rest of their life and will be able to reach equivalence of qualities with the Creator?

Answer: There is no guarantee. We understand that we are governed by the upper force and it is interested in us getting closer to it, uniting with it, and working together with it to correct ourselves and the world.

Question: How does a person determine whether their pain stems from distancing from the Creator or from lacking fulfillment of desires? After all, there is confusion that occurs in the descent.

Answer: Everyone should integrate with their ten and reveal their reaction to what the Creator does. Then all the friends will have a clearer picture of what is happening to them.

Question: If someone in the ten experiences suffering from a lack of fulfillment, can we build a true spiritual deficiency above this? Or is it the individual work of each?

Answer: No, this can be a group effort.

Question: What should our prayer be about?

Answer: Prayer should always be about coming closer to the Creator. Then suffering will disappear.

Question: What should the quality of our prayer be?

Answer: The quality is very simple; it is from the heart. Open your hearts and the Creator will feel what is in them. Everything is attained only by the power of prayer to unite, to rise, and to kill egoism in us.

Question: How can we literally wrap everyone in one blanket of love and how can we connect everyone with one prayer?

Answer: You should discuss this among yourselves and ask the Creator to join in your request, your prayer. Then everything will work out.

Question: When a person hears the same constant question of the sinner in himself, what should he do to advance from this repeated question?

Answer: Turn to the Creator so that He can help him rise above egoism and see his condition from this height. Then he will advance correctly.

Question: It turns out that he constantly fails to reach the measure of this request.

Answer: There is a saying: God, grant that a person prays day and night.

Question: Can we help a friend kill the sinner within himself? Or is this an independent work for everyone?

Answer: Everyone must do this independently, but with the help of the environment. You can help a person, but he must act independently.

Question: What do we need to keep in the center of the ten in order to pass through the darkness when exiting Egypt?

Answer: The most important thing is to go by faith above reason paying no attention to any obstacles, taking one more step, and another step, and another. Thus, gradually, we will exit Egypt.

Question: If a person truly reaches a state where all his thoughts, desires, and aspirations are directed toward the Creator, then a second before and a second after exiting Egypt, how does his attitude toward the Creator change?

Answer: Before exiting Egypt, a person is in a state of pleading, begging the Creator to help him escape from there, to rise above egoistic problems.

And literally the next moment, he feels gratitude for what the Creator has done for him.
