Question: Adam HaRishon had one program and the Creation had another. Are we starting to follow a third program?

Answer: No, there is only one program called the plan of creation (Machshevet haBriya), and it is constantly working. Depending on what level the souls (desires) are at, more or less broken, this program behaves one way or another. It is just like in a computer, there is nothing complicated here.

Question: Then why do we say that we are returning to the state of Adam? He did not have any egoism, did he?

Answer: There was, but it was hidden, which is why it shattered. Adam had everything. There is nothing new; there is only revealing data.

Question: Will we still have this egoism after the final correction (Gmar Tikun)?

Answer: Billions and billions of times more. Otherwise, how will we achieve a vast corrected state without a huge ego?

Question: Is it right to remember good impressions from previous connections in the ten and use them to reveal new connections in a new ten, or should we start from scratch and not take anything from the past?

Answer: You do not need to start from scratch. Start with the good connection you already have with the upper and wish to strengthen it.

Question: You say, “Open your heart.” Who opens the heart first: the person or the Creator?

Answer: The Creator always opens a person’s heart, but this is already a response to a person’s prayer.

Question: Love should come from above when we feel friends closer than ourselves. How can we hasten this?

Answer: Try to relate this way to the Creator.

Question: What comes first: love for the Creator or love for friends? Do we come to love the Creator through the love of friends or vice versa?

Answer: You can do it both ways. Generally, we come to love for the Creator from the love of friends. We still do not know what love is, and we can mistake almost any good feeling for it.

Question: The nature of egoism contains the spirit of foolishness. Can it be avoided through internal work?

Answer: No, you cannot avoid it. The Creator specifically develops it in order to give you the opportunity to grow more and overcome egoism.

Question: Why does a person lose the importance of what the Creator gives over time? Why does the value of what is received decrease?

Answer: Because a person must constantly exalt the Creator in their eyes. If they forget about it, the Creator immediately falls in their eyes, and they have no one to turn to.

Wherever I mention My name, meaning that you will give me the possibility to attribute My name to your actions (Rabash, “The Path of Truth“).

Question: How can we incorporate this into our lives so that we always give the Creator this possibility?

Answer: By desiring for the Creator to start working with you, addressing Him from all states, and always trying to engage Him in a dialogue, meaning, attempting to speak with the Creator and waiting for His response.

Question: In what form does a Kabbalist receive the Creator’s answer?

Answer: Most often in the form of what happens to him.

Question: Does it mean that we feel something as a reaction of the Creator in events and sensations?

Answer: Yes, the correct reaction is that we accept everything from the Creator: both good and seemingly bad. We only want to come closer to Him through our appeal to the Creator.

Question: Can we say that our action of bestowal consists of active connection; for example, during a lesson, preparing for a lesson, studying and working in the ten are the desire, the passive vessel for work in active connection, and the work is the request for correction of the vessel, its fulfillment, and transmitting the light to the entire world?

Answer: Yes, this should be our intention. Therefore, before we open the computer and connect with our friends, we need to think about why we are doing this: to be connected together in one single vessel, to direct it to the Creator, and to reveal the Creator within it.

If we direct ourselves toward connection with friends, toward reading articles, and each time overcome various obstacles with an effort, we naturally receive much greater benefit from this.

Question: What is the first point of contact with the Creator in the ten?

Answer: The first point of contact with the Creator occurs when the Keter of the lower connects with the Malchut of the upper.

The Keter of the lower, that is, the Keter of the ten, is the force of your bestowal. It rises and reaches the Malchut of the upper.

Question: Let’s say that we have gathered with the friends and formed the force of bestowal, Keter between us. How can we now connect with the Malchut of the upper?

Answer: With each other you form your common Keter, and all that remains for you is to connect to the Malchut of the upper. To do this, you must connect all your desires for bestowal, i.e., all your Keters, and raise them to what the upper one desires from you.

Question: How can we feel the Creator in our feelings in order to connect our Keters with Him?

Answer: By forming a connection between yourselves, you will be able to feel what the Malchut of the upper one is, rise to it, group together, and grasp it. This is what we need to do.

Question: The Creator corrects our souls slowly and in portions. Is it possible to speed up the stages of spiritual growth, and what does it depend on?

Answer: It depends on your connection in the ten. If you turn to the Creator on your own, this is one thing. But if several friends ask together with you, and even better the whole ten, the Creator answers immediately and as directly as possible.

In spirituality, we can only strive for ever greater connection. In this way, we protect ourselves from losing important elements of our path along the way.

In order to create a relationship between us, which is called the spiritual world, we need support. Therefore, Kabbalists say that since one person alone is insufficient in the entire scope of the universe, 600,000 souls were created, i.e., the main vessel (Kli) in a shattered state.

Subsequently, this main vessel further divided into millions, even billions of particles.

As egoism manifests more and more, the number of these particles increases so that each one, like an individual atom, can correct itself and connect with other particles based on correction, on the basis of the qualities of bestowal.

Initially, these particles were connected to each other by the Creator’s force in the quality of His bestowal. Then this quality of the Creator disappeared, ascended. Now, we must begin to once again attract the upper light into the connections between us so that it reassembles us into the structure called “Adam.”

Thus, as stated in Baal HaSulam’s Letter 4: You lack nothing but to go out to a field that the Lord has blessed, and collect all those flaccid organs that have drooped from your soul, and join them into a single body – into a single desire. This is what we must engage in. This is our only task. We should have nothing else before our eyes.

In this world, I act automatically: I work, take care of my body, my family, and everything else. But why do I do all this while living as if in a dream? It is in order to connect with other souls and reveal the Creator to the extent of our connection. The Creator manifests as the light that connects the separate shattered parts.

If this is so, then it is natural that the Kabbalists, who began to attain these states individually, immediately realized that this must be done together, formed a group in which people mutually help each other and create such combinations of desires and aspirations that helps their connection.

Question: How do we determine what we need to stay on the spiritual path, what we should discard and what else to develop?

Answer: We must constantly develop and increase the connection between us and the Creator.

To increase the connection in the ten means to need each other more and more. I look at my friends and see that I cannot do something without a particular friend or something else without another one. This one sets an example for me, this one annoys me, but all of this pushes me to work on myself. That is, every person in the ten is necessary; that is what the Creator does.

Question: If I have a negative impression of a friend, is it still very valuable? Is this some kind of important signal from the Creator?

Answer: Sure. Least of all I expect positive feelings from them, on the contrary, negative feelings are more suitable for my work on myself.
