Question: It happens that when you turn to the Creator, there is a feeling of inspiration and relief, and sometimes, on the contrary, there is a feeling of dissatisfaction and emptiness.

What does this mean?

Answer: It means that you are dissatisfied with the Creator.

Question: If I feel depressed in relation to what is happening in the world, does this mean that I lack faith above reason? How do I switch to the positive?

Answer: Connect to your friends and raise your head to the Creator, but not physically. Just raise your questions to the Creator with a request for Him to answer them.

Question: Is it possible to soften my heart with the help of individual prayer and free it to receive the Creator? If it is possible, then how can I correctly build the intention for this individual prayer?

Answer: I think it is very difficult to do this alone. It is better if all the friends in the ten ask together with you.

Question: Should they ask with me or for me?

Answer: With you and for you, and all together for someone, it does not matter. The main thing is to turn to the Creator.

Question: How do we prepare to stand before the Creator with a true prayer that He will answer?

Answer: Every day, in every appeal to the Creator, we must ask Him for the same thing, the most important thing is to have a connection with Him through the ten.

Question: You said that a ten can open any gate in spirituality. Which ones exactly?

Answer: There are many gates that we have to go through, but the most important gate is the gate of tears. When a person has no strength left to turn to the Creator and is convinced that he is a loser and nothing will help him, then he bursts into tears and the Creator opens the gates to him.

Everyone who comes closer to Him passes through this gate.

Question: What should you ask Him at the moment when you really see that you are a failure?

Answer: Explore what you need, and ask for it.

Question: But what about the quality of bestowal? We are studying that we should ask precisely for it.

Answer: But if you don’t have any impulse for that, then what are you going to ask for?

Question: Is it important to just ask for what you lack, or to ask to be in connection with the Creator?

Answer: It depends on what you choose. Don’t make me choose for you.

Hence, one needs to pray pleadingly that the Creator will show him the truth by adding to him the light of the Torah (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 47 “In the Place Where You Find His Greatness”).

Question: It turns out that a person asks the Creator to reveal the truth to him, meaning, his evil inclination. This is a prayer from the left line. Is such a prayer correct?

Answer: No, we must ask the Creator to reveal the truth to us and shed light on our present state.

We need to relate all states, whatever they may be, to the Creator and try to see through them how the Creator wants to bring us closer to Him.

We need to reveal a constant connection with the Creator. That is what we have to think about and ask for.

Raising the hands is when he pulls himself without prayer from being a receiver, whether in mind or in heart, so there will be no hold to the Sitra Achra [other side] (Rabash, “The Meaning of Sins Becoming as Merits”).

After a person raises his hands, he prays to the Creator. He asks for the power of bestowal, the power of love. Nothing can be done without prayer.

We need to constantly work on ourselves, not give up, and be in action all the time to bring us closer together. And then we will see new, better states.

Question: One day, a woman had a dream that there was the Creator behind the counter of the store. “What can I buy from you?” The woman asked. “You can buy everything from me,” the Creator replied. “Then give me health, happiness, love, success, and a lot of money.”

God went into the back room and returned with a small paper box. “Is that all?” the woman exclaimed. “Yes,” God replied, “didn’t you know that my store sells only seeds?”

So, we have everything we need to grow? Seeds are given to us. The main question is: how can we understand this and how can we grow them? Watering, caring for, and so on?

Answer: This is the meaning of life. It is not easy to understand what the Creator requires of you and how you should behave every moment.

Question: Is this “growing seeds”? To understand what He wants from me and how I should behave?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But this initial one, that I do not need anything around, that everything is in me, how can I come to this?

Answer: You just have to believe in it. Everything is built into me; I just have to try to put myself in the right environment.

Question: Is it called “like seeds in the soil”?

Answer: Yes, and then everything that is necessary will sprout in me.

Question: What do I water these seeds with?

Answer: With your sweat.

Question: So my efforts and in general everything that I go through is what I water these seeds with?

Answer: Yes, and they will germinate.

Question: What would you ask the Creator if, say, He was standing in front of you?

Answer: In principle, the maximum wisdom is to agree with Him in everything. Cancel yourself completely before Him so that no thoughts and feelings arise in addition to what I get from Him.

Question: How do we reveal the Kli to hear the prayer in the ten?

Answer: The more connected you are between yourselves, the more you reveal your connection with the Creator. The work itself is very simple. You just need to strive for unification between you and through that to connection with the Creator every second.

Question: When you lose connection with your friends, your mind tells you that you need to pray for them, but your heart is not ready yet. You want to bestow to them, but you have no strength. At this time should a person ask for the strength to bestow or still to unite with his friends?

Answer: You should still unite with your friends. There is no escape from this. There should be a ten from which we turn to the Creator, ask Him for connection with Him, and He answers us in the same ten.

The ten is our “telephone” through which we talk with the Creator.

Question: How can The Book of Zohar be used to improve the situation in the world? I really do not want to read it abstractly.

Answer: Then read it with the thought that you are thinking about the world. Then you will understand this book more deeply.

Comment: But the text of the book has nothing to do with the events that take place in the world.

My Response: It does not matter. Read The Book of Zohar with the intention that the world will get better even if you do not understand anything. It is like medicine. Take it, and then you will see how it works.
