Question: Is the Temple our properly built relationship?

Answer: It is our correct common soul that we reveal among ourselves.

Question: What is the basis of this common soul? After all, a building collapses if the foundation is unstable.

Answer: Yes, the same is true in our case. The basis of the common soul is our egoism that we glue and hold in connection with each other because each of us annuls himself before the other.

Question: A person who works in our world group or simply often comes to meetings and days of unity sees more images that are closer to the truth than someone who bothers more about corporeality and sees more false images. Does it turn out that someone who connects more often with friends has an easier path to determining the truth for himself?

Answer: No, in no way is his path easier or faster. In order to reach the spiritual level, one needs to go all out, to do some work. Only in this case will you gain access to some spiritual level, and then to the next one, and so on.

So, it does not matter where you live or who you are connected with. All that matters is your inner need for the sense of truth. You need to constantly direct yourself to ensure that the truth lives in you.

Therefore, you should constantly monitor yourself.

Question: Who can help in a situation when a person cares about corporeality more than he needs and loses this facet of truth?

Answer: No, he will not be allowed to immediately escape from spiritual advancement. There are such “guards” on the path that keep us in spirituality.

Question: What is the difference in the perception of the Creator’s light between various people? Does it depend only on efforts or on some properties the Creator gives?

It seems that some people feel the light without making an effort and some, on the contrary, cannot come to feel it through their efforts.

Answer: The Creator reveals Himself in both ways. Therefore, we need to make efforts, and how the Creator advances us toward Himself is His business. The main thing is to ask Him to draw us toward Himself.

Question: Does the Creator hear our desires or the strength and effort in our desires?

Answer: The Creator hears everything, all our nuances, what we want to receive, what we turn to Him with, etc.

On the negative side, if a part of the nation does not want to keep the Arvut, but to wallow in self-love, they cause the rest of the nation to remain immersed in their filth and lowliness without finding a way out of their filth. Baal HaSulam, Article “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]” .

We exist with one another in integral connection, and it creates both positive and negative problems.

The positive component is that we help one another and complement one another. The negative one is that if someone lacks something in the integral group, then everyone suffers.

Therefore, the fact that nature made us integrally connected is good and bad. It is good in the sense that each of us adds to the common Kli, while the bad thing is that when we do not give, we steal from this Kli.

One has to understand that the integral spiritual Kli is very sensitive and reacts to changes of everyone whether positive or negative.

After the Kabbalistic group left Egypt, its serious development began. Before this, there was practically no spiritual development since the most essential thing that manifested during this period that we all go through is the growth of egoism.

After that, we can start talking about corrections. That is, we have acquired egoism and begin to feel that it is not easy for us to connect with our friends. We are not ready to be in the same harness with them.

Therefore, we need an upper force that will unite us over egoism. This higher power can be called “Creator,” “Pharaoh,” or “Egypt”; it does not matter what. And here our work begins.

Baal HaSulam, in the article “The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee)”, writes that, However, while they were still mingled with the Egyptians, a portion of their needs was necessarily given into the hands of these savages, permeated with self-love.

What is he trying to say? While we are in egoism we cannot achieve complete connection because between us are our egoistic desires—the Egyptians.

Question: What efforts should we make to feel no difference between faith and knowledge?

Answer: Try to be aimed toward the sensation of the Creator constantly.

Question: How can we not miss moments of revelation of the Creator and be in constant interplay with Him?

Answer: It depends on you. The Creator is always ready. You should check what is better or worse when you can turn to the Creator, unite, and strive toward Him.

Question: What is this state when the shadow of the Creator is revealed to us?

Answer: It is the opposite state of the Creator. That is not a descent but doubt, a lack of faith, i.e., still some connection.

Question: How can we help a friend who separates from us?

Answer: Only by praying for him, and you will see how quickly he feels it.

Question: How can we judge light and darkness by the criteria of the Creator?

Answer: You have to learn this. We need to study the meaning of light as defined by the Creator, the meaning of darkness as defined by the Creator, and the difference between them.

Question: Is annulment a skill?

Answer: Annulment is when you have no personal involvement in the future. You are like a slave who is obliged to do everything your master tells you. But at the same time, you do not expect any reward. You fulfill his desire not involuntarily, but consciously, of your own freewill.

Question: Is revealing the friend’s Hisaron my goal?

Answer: You cannot reveal his Hisaron and you never will. You strive with all your desire to help him. You do not reveal it for yourself, but wish to fully participate in it. In this, you are his slave.

Question: Is light something necessary for our correction or something we earn and become worthy of receiving?

Answer: Initially, only one quality exists: the quality of bestowal. It creates the opposite quality of reception. The quality of bestowal is called light, altruism; the quality of reception is called darkness, egoism. Both qualities coexist; the quality of bestowal is primary and the quality of reception is secondary.

The task of the Creator (the property of bestowal) is to bring the property of reception to similarity with Him so that it is on the same degree as the Creator. In this way, the Creator reveals His greatness, how He can create something opposite, yet equal to Himself.

This is the principle of the origin of creation, and we must reach this state. Since we were created from the quality of reception, we must create an intention on this property to use receiving for the sake of giving because receiving is our nature and it does not change.

And then the greater the egoism I work with in my property of receiving, with zero, first, second, third, fourth, the more I ascend. That is how it works.

So the quality of reception is not harmful; it is nature. Nature can be neither bad nor good. The only thing we need is to work with the quality of reception revealed in us with the intention to bestow.

If I receive for the sake of bestowal, then everything is fine; by this I bestow, although in principle my action is an action of reception. Only the intention changes. Thus, everything is determined by intention and not by mechanical action.

Question: Is it correct to use physical examples to aid in developing a spiritual community?

Answer: We should take examples only from the books of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and use them to evaluate every action.

Question: What seems beautiful to us is not always true; we can be influenced by trends or education. What is a “true” spiritual work?

Answer: True spiritual work is when I connect with my ten, hold them together through my efforts, and attract them to come closer to the Creator.

Question: Rabash writes that only the person himself must believe in the immense importance of being worthy of the king’s presence. What does this action “must believe” mean?

Answer: A person must believe that the upper force is guiding him toward the spiritual goal.

Question: Does our soul already know the truth? How can we make a “true” choice through the soul, even in worldly matters?

Answer: You do not know this yet, but ultimately, we will come to this, and you will receive notification of the truth from there.

Question: How can we keep ourselves above egoism if two friends are making remarks to each other in front of the entire group about how each should change?

Answer: You should talk first with one, then with the other. Ideally, the entire group should take it upon themselves to embrace them with warmth.

Question: The value of corporeal things depends on advertising. There is a prohibition against sharing one’s spiritual states and experiences in spirituality. How can we correctly advertise spirituality to friends?

Answer: We need to support friends who yearn to come closer to the Creator and then gradually we will come to feel what the Creator feels. By striving to be closer to Him, we will begin to see the world as the Creator does.

Question: So I say that a particular friend in the group is probably close to the Creator; therefore I envy him. Is that right?

Answer: Suppose you think so and are confident about it. You must be responsible for your words, especially when you speak about someone else.

Question: Then how do I advertise spirituality correctly?

Answer: You do not need to advertise it.

Question: I cannot speak about myself, but I can about a friend. How can I be sure that he is close to the Creator? Today he is close and tomorrow, God forbid, he might show a different side.

Answer: That is why you should not advertise. If a person constantly strives for the truth and desires to move toward it with friends from within their connection, this gives us confidence that he is on the right path toward the right goal.
