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.

Question: How can we constantly check that we have not strayed from the spiritual path?

Answer: It is only in a group when you unite and feel that you are all at a single point, in a single desire, everyone leaves his “I,” unites with others, and comes to merge with the Creator.

Question: How is the confidence of a Kabbalist expressed? How is it conveyed to the outer world?

Answer: The confidence of a Kabbalist comes solely from their connection with the Creator. To the extent of their union with the Creator, they are confident that they will not make mistakes, that they will convey to people what they need, and thereby help them.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that there are two paths to realizing the idea of Kabbalah. The first is the natural path of development, a path of suffering. The second one is the path when people, after some educational process, will be able to advance to altruistic properties consciously. How can this take place?

Answer: The preliminary stage of the second path of development is realizing the evil of our egoistic nature. I think it is already happening.

In other words, all current confrontations, crises, and wars between Russia and the Western World have to change humanity gradually and show that no one wins anything in a war and there are no victors.

We are practically going through this state. We means all of humanity. That is because at the end of the days, meaning at the end of human development, we will not be dividing ourselves into countries, not even into continents, but instead, we will begin to aspire to rise above our nature. That is much bigger than mutual agreements between people, countries, etc.

Even though we do not realize it yet, I hope we are already starting to learn the laws that will bring us to complete correction.

Question: In our world, we know what it means to love parents, children, men, women, and friends. How is the love for people similar or different from the love we develop within ourselves?

Answer: We want the love we can channel from the Creator to pass through us to all people so that everyone feels they are receiving love from Him.

Question: I see in the external world how people are closed in themselves and don’t see others. Within our society, I understand everything: there is prayer and personal example. But what should we do in the external world?

Answer: Gradually, people will develop and also desire to have the quality of bestowal. Wait a little bit; we are just beginning our work. We need to write and speak more about this.

Question: It is said that when a person goes to the market to earn money, they should push away thoughts of private providence and act as if he is doing the work without the Creator. Can we not combine everyday actions with thoughts of the Creator? Why should we push these thoughts away?

Answer: No, you should not push away thoughts of the Creator. However, we should still not distance ourselves from global providence.

Question: How can we distinguish between the two impacts of the Creator on us to choose which to say first: “There is none else besides Him” or “If I am not for myself, who is for me”?

Answer: You need to cleanse your heart a little, and then you will understand the attitude of the Creator toward you.

Question: In which case will I have the opportunity to say: “If I am not for myself, who is for me”? Because it is always convenient for me to say: “There is none else besides Him.”

Answer: Of course, that is always better.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that we need to increase love for our friends because this is enough to compensate for all your deficiencies. How can we practically implement this advice?

Answer: This is something that friends must decide among themselves. When you start to reveal the faults in your unity, everything will work out accordingly.

Question: But love for friends seems like some kind of ephemeral feeling. How can we increase it among ourselves?

Answer: As it is said: “Love covers all transgressions.” Everyone in the group checks themselves and their attitude toward each friend, and then they see what needs to be corrected. This is your work for today.

Question: The sages say that a fool loses what is given to him. How can we not lose what is given from above in spirituality?

Answer: If you hold on to this together and not separately, then you will be able to hold on to everything that the Creator sends to you. He will give you important things as He sees you striving to lay hold of spiritual things together.

Question: How can we not be afraid of falling and how can we enlist the support of the Creator?

Answer: Be together in one ten and hold on to each other. Then you will not have these problems. You should feel like you are with your friends.
