Question: What is the correct intention that the light of the Creator will enter into?

Answer: The correct intention is to make an effort to do a good deed to bring souls closer to each other so that the Creator can reveal Himself in them and they can feel the pleasure that He can dwell within them.

The correct intention is to unite our desires so that the Creator can fulfill them.

Question: I feel that I cannot cope with my ego! Should I tell my friends about it or keep it to myself?

Answer: That you cannot cope is clear. But don’t look to discuss these issues with your friends as they have their problems. Instead, seek connection with the Creator.

Be wholeheartedly connected with your friends and at the same time turn your heart toward the Creator.

There is no need to involve your friends because you are in one state and each of them is in a different one. The most important thing is to seek connection with the Creator, and based on your connection with the group.

Question: So should I pretend that I am in a good mood?

Answer: Of course, always keep your friends in good spirits. Especially when you are in a low state.

Question: What is this state where my egoism desires the Creator? And even not just the Creator, but the quality of bestowal. How, while denying bestowal, can I want it? What is this state?

Answer: Gradually, under the influence of studying and working in a group, the importance of the quality of bestowal will arise within you.

You will feel how you begin to respect this quality; it becomes valuable to you because by possessing it, you can transcend time and space. There would be no difficulty or problem for you because the quality of bestowal is above our world.

Our world is the quality of reception, while the upper world is the quality of bestowal.

Question: I feel my egoism has grown significantly. You said, “Either we annul egoism, or we elevate the importance of spirituality.” What should I do?

Answer: You should be glad that more and more egoism is revealed in you. You distance yourself from your friends; you do not want them, you do not want a group or any connection with others. These are all signs of growing egoism, and you should be glad about it.

That is, the left line develops in you, the growing ego, and the right line, correction, working with the ego despite it, must be aimed toward connection.

You must attract the upper light in order for it to create a second force in you, the force of attraction, so you will have two forces: the right and the left.

The fact that egoism is growing and you feel that you do not love your friends, do not want them, and push them away, are all signs of closeness.

Question: What is the Kabbalistic meaning of the holiday of Shavuot?

Answer: The meaning of the holiday of Shavuot is the receiving of the instruction for revealing the Creator to the people living in our world. This is the Torah, or more precisely, the science of Kabbalah.

Shavuot is unique among all holidays because we received from above, through certain people, the revelation of the method that provides the foundation for revealing the Creator to people in our world. This method is called the Torah, or Kabbalah, or the true Torah.

Essentially, this is the only thing we need to achieve in this world. It is the goal we should strive for. Everything else is transient. Therefore, I very much hope that people, year by year, especially in connection with this holiday, will increasingly understand its significance.

Question: If we delve a little deeper into the essence of this holiday, why was it necessary to bring people to a state of hatred? As it is said: the children of Israel stood around Mount Sinai.

Answer: It had to be this way; otherwise, we do not feel the need for the method of connection within us.

If we feel that we can reach the highest level of our development—on the level of the Creator—as if on the top of a mountain, which can only be climbed if we overcome Sinai (the state of hatred between us), then the method of overcoming mutual hatred, mutual rapprochement, which allegorically represents climbing the mountain, can only be achieved with our active participation, our serious work on ourselves. This is the entire method of implementing the Torah.

That is why we received it. To the extent that we implement this method, we attract the upper light upon ourselves, which changes us, brings us closer together, and binds us to one another. This is what we must achieve.

Question: Why is it called the holiday of Shavuot?

Answer: Because it precisely measures the time from the exodus from Egypt: 49 full days, seven weeks, which we precisely measure from the rejection of our egoism (Pesach) to the state where we can receive the instruction for rising above it, that is, the instruction for changing our egoistic nature.

Breaking away from egoism for 50 days, we begin to correct egoistic desires into intentions for giving and loving. And then we reveal within them the upper force, the upper state, the upper world.

Question: What do I do during these 49 steps?

Answer: I correct all my egoistic intentions corresponding to each of the 49 steps—seven weeks. Everything else needs to be studied.

Question: You said that the ten is a device that can captures the spiritual field. How can we feel that we have become this device?

Answer: Just as a compass captures the magnetic field, so do we. By gathering together, we create an instrument for perceiving this field, and it orients us, moves us, and nurtures us.

As the compass needle starts to turn in the magnetic field, we work in the ten until we begin to feel the spiritual field between us, which shapes us and moves us forward.

This is an inner sensation for each person to the extent that one annuls oneself before the ten.

Question: What does it mean to let the Creator into the mutual guarantee?

Answer: When we talk about mutual guarantee, we mean the right connection between people. That is, we ask ourselves how we should be united in order to represent a reliable earthly system of interconnected people.

There are people who understand that their egoistic desires play with them so much that they are unable to control themselves. If we look at humanity from the outside, what is happening to us simply defies any justification because we are trying to destroy, humiliate, kill, and suppress each other. We are motivated to do this by our inner desire, which does not allow us to exist in peace.

We need to neutralize the evil inclination in a person in some way. There is only one salvation for this—the force existing in nature that is able to balance our egoism. But we need to attract it to ourselves. This positive force is called the Creator.

Question: When I receive the revelation of the perfection of the Creator, where should I move further in my intention?

Answer: If you feel that you receive everything from Him and you feel good this way, thank Him for it.

As soon as you begin to give thanks, your Kli (vessel) that is filled with this pleasure will be emptied.
Gratitude and prayer, gratitude and request, expand the Kli like nothing else.

Question: How can one be ignited with such desires in which the Creator will be manifest? Sometimes you recall the past and feel like you’re not investing the way you did back then.

Answer: This is good because this is required so you would ask. All our desires, especially unrealistic desires and dreams, are necessary for us to ask the Creator. Only for this.

Collect them all, and nag Him all the time, keep asking. You will see that this is the only thing that helps—not your brains, not your memory, nothing. Just nag like a child who is always picking at an adult and demanding something from him. This is how you can succeed; there is no other way.

Question: Often a person comes to study Kabbalah out of despair and is searching for the meaning of life. When does a person need a group?

Answer: When a person, according to the state of his soul and according to internal preparation in this life or previous lives, is ready to begin the right advancement toward spirituality, then he is brought into the group.

But that does not mean anything. Some people come to the group and start getting used to it very quickly. They understand that it needs to be done like this: I am in a group and must fully connect myself with it, and then together, as a team in the army, we will attain the upper world, the Creator.

Some people come to the group, but internally disagree that they should be connected to the rest. For what?! How? What does connection have to do with it?! The Creator develops them in advance in arrogance, pride, etc. In general, it is hard for them.

They do not understand at all what it means to get closer to others, to connect, i.e., they go through a completely different development system, knocking about and twitching. However, if they stay on this path, they will eventually reach great heights, but after a longer time than the others.
