Question: What is a common prayer?

Answer: A common prayer is a very difficult action. For now, it is best for you to turn to the Creator personally, each with their own feelings, their own problems.

Later you will start feeling you have the same problems and feelings. To be sure that you can justify and correct them, you need to turn to the Creator together.

This state will come; it is close. You will see that from a single person, it is only a preliminary, small step toward real contact with the Creator. We cannot interact with Him individually, each on our own, especially in our state, when we are on the threshold of complete correction.

Question: To ascend the degrees of human, we choose a group and a Kabbalistic society where we practice love for our friends and mutual guarantee.

At the same time, we isolate ourselves from other environments so they do not negatively influence us. Will this isolation not mean retreating from real life and our responsibility for what happens in the world?

Answer: First, you currently do not yet bear any responsibility for what happens in the world.

Second, as you gradually ascend, you will expand your horizon. You will see how you influence other groups, how all groups together influence the Creator, and how the Creator relates to each group. We will study all of this, and study it in practice.

Do not be afraid of anything. The main thing is not to miss lessons and to strive to gain as much knowledge about spirituality as possible.

Question: As a future Kabbalist, how can I help a friend come closer to the Creator?

Answer: First of all, you are already considered a Kabbalist. You can help him by further strengthening your connection with him and supporting him.

Question: In the ten, I see everyone as perfect, even if I notice flaws, I can immediately nullify myself. But in the corporeal world, egoism overwhelms me and prevents me from quickly seeing that I am the one who needs correction, not others. Why does this happen?

Answer: Because in spirituality, you have the support of the group.

Question: How should we “make (ourselves) a Rav” of our friends who teach us so they become a channel of connection with the Creator?

Answer: You should respect all your friends as if they are above you. There is no harm in listening to them as teachers.

Question: When we study sources, it is not difficult to see our friend as a teacher. But when it comes to lesson-related questions, some sort of struggle arises among us, and we cannot even make a decision. How should decisions be made in the ten?

Answer: Solely according to who your teacher is, what he says, and what you accept from him.

Question: Is it possible to overcome all the obstacles on a spiritual level, within the group, rather than on a physical level?

Answer: Yes, if we try hard to mentally bring the entire world into the group and resolve all global, personal, and any other issues specifically within the group, within the ten, in the HaVaYaH, where the Creator should be revealed. He is present there, albeit in a concealed form.

Question: What are spiritual disturbances?

Answer: Spiritual disturbances are the disturbances that arise in our connection with friends and in the collective connection with the Creator. There are no other disturbances. All the intimidating names of evil angels and other objects or phenomena represent qualities that drive us apart, but through which we establish correct relationships with each other.

Question: What are “weeds” in our desire, and how can we identify them if we’re egoists?

Answer: “Weeds” are egoistic desires that you try to use for spiritual purposes.

Question: But as an egoist, I don’t realize how this affects others. How do I gain the ability to see these weeds as harmful?

Answer: Because you are in a ten supported by the group’s collective opinion and by the entire world Kli this creates the conditions within you to perceive reality in this way.

Question: Does that mean friends should point out what in me are weeds?

Answer: They are already pointing it out. All your negative thoughts about the group, yourself, the Creator, and advancement all come to you from spirituality.

Question: How does one let go of the past desire to receive? Is this something individual for each person or is it shared within the whole ten when we are united?

Answer: Essentially it is individual for each person. However, at various stages of correction, we unite and collectively receive certain desires, intentions, and opportunities from the Creator.

Question: If I cannot do anything on my own, can I pray to the Creator to give the ten the right desire, and then I, too, will receive it together with them?

Answer: Absolutely correct! We can do this, and it will indeed lead us to connection between us and with the Creator, with the purpose of creation.

Question: It is said: “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord.” What does it mean to trust in the Lord?

Answer: We are talking about a person who takes everything that the Creator created for himself, and from this builds a path to the Creator, that is, tries to become like Him, to reveal Him.

Question: How can we try to convert everything that happens into bestowing to the Creator, into a connection with Him?

Answer: Imagine that at every moment of your life you have such an opportunity. And then you will see how you can turn all your actions, thoughts, desires, and intentions in order to ascend to the Creator, to become closer to Him.

Unto your seed will I give this land (Rabash, Assorted Notes 344, “Go Forth”).

Descendants are our next actions when I take on some obligations and strive to fulfill them, to change myself, and to take additional actions.

That is, it is the result coming from the previous state. This happens at every step of the ascent on the spiritual ladder.

Question: How can we practically take off the “white gloves,” meaning leave the artificial demonstration of good-hearted relations?

Answer: Removal of the “white gloves” should be slow, conscious, and only to the degree that you can control your states and circumstances.

When you control your states, you can allow some negative thoughts and feelings in relation to your friends, but at the same time you understand that the Creator triggers them on purpose, otherwise they would not appear.

We are not doing anything on our own. Even if we think that we are doing something, it only seems to us that way. The Creator is doing everything—there is none else besides Him.

When I let myself go a little this way and feel my bad relations with my friends in the group, I begin to understand that it is given to me to rise. It means I do not deny, cancel, or conceal my bad thoughts and feelings about my friends, but rather rise above them in spite of my current thoughts about my friends.

Overall, I feel that my attitudes to them are correct. What else can I do? This is why despite the fact that they are correct I want to be above them and control them this way.

It means you control the left line when you slightly unveil your egoism and allow yourself to feel the criticism toward your friends. At the same time, you are building the right line within yourself when you turn to the Creator and ask Him to give you the power to rise above this criticism. Thus you have two lines. This is already the beginning of creation of the soul that you will have to build. It is not even you, but rather the Creator when you ask Him.

Therefore, it is a good thing that you have always treated each other “with gloves.” However, it might be time to start taking them carefully off. When you do it consciously, by allowing negative thoughts you will feel as the owner of your state from both the negative and the positive sides.

You will see that your good state and your bad state are not yours, they come from the Creator. Also, the decisions to make bad and good states are not yours either. They also come from the Creator. And after that between these bad and good states and thoughts you will sense the Creator Himself.

Question: The light highlights a flaw in a friend that is in me because there is no other way I can see it. What are my actions?

Answer: If you see a negative quality in someone, you must ask the Creator to correct you until you stop seeing this negative quality in a friend.

Question: To keep repeating it as a constant prayer: “Correct me!”?

Answer: Sure.
