Question: We are egoists. How can you moderate your egoism that wants everything at once and be content with a small, but common achievement for everyone?

Answer: We perform many actions and turn to the Creator with many requests.

Each of them, as it were, returns to us. Thus, we divide what we receive from the Creator into small parts, and little by little, we receive for His sake.

That is how we gradually get closer to the Creator, in the ten, and not each individually.

We must reach the Creator in a state where we can beg Him to give us a small part of His light, which we can endure to receive for the sake of bestowal.

Question: I am capable of more effort. I feel it, but cannot do it for some reason.
How can a person use their full potential?

Answer: Just exert with all you have to unite with your friends and from your friends to the Creator.

Comment: I feel like I can do anything, but in the end they are mere specks.

Answer: No, these are not specks! These are sparks, small portions of upper light that should be cherished.

Man is discerned as having three bodies:
1. The inner body, which is a clothing for the soul of Kedusha [holiness].
2. Klipat [shell of] Noga.
3. The serpent’s skin (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 247, “A Thought Is Regarded as Nourishment”).

Question: What role does Klipat Noga play in correction?

Answer: Klipat Noga is between holiness (Kedusha) and impurity (Klipot) and facilitates correction by sometimes being in Kedusha and sometimes in Klipa. With its help, we correct creation.

Question: How do the desires and thoughts of the Klipat Noga differ from the snakeskin, and do you even need to learn to discern them in yourself?

Answer: This will happen gradually, like in small children who still do not discern anything and then begin to feel more and more all kinds of nuances that exist in every desire, in every action.

Question: How can the feeling of the Creator’s joy be conveyed to the group?

Answer: Open your heart and pass it on. Try to connect with the Creator and your friends in the ten and feel how your heart opens and everything in your heart pours out to your friends and through them to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to open yourself to the Creator? What is this action?

Answer: Ask the Creator to help you open your mind and heart and feel in them closeness to Him, i.e., to be connected to Him through feelings and thoughts.

Question: If my friend is ill and I want to get connected in him so that the Creator can cure him, should I interfere in this or let it remain as it is?

Answer: You should get closer to your friend in your soul, connect with him, and help him in your feelings—not physically, but internally. You will see how quickly he recovers.

Question: Should we help each other regardless of what the Creator gives to everyone, or would we be interfering with the Creator’s program?

Answer: Yes, by doing this we would be interfering with the Creator’s program.

Question: How can we ensure that the cause of pleasure is always only the Creator and not pleasure itself, i.e., that the pleasure would come from the fact that the Creator has it and not vice versa?

Answer: The fact is that we, who consist of the desire to receive, are constantly connected with the Creator and are always directed toward Him.

Our problem is that we do not feel or realize this. Therefore, Baal HaSulam says that all our work is to direct our mind and heart to the Creator.

After all, when we direct our thoughts to Him, our work is called work in the mind. And when we direct our hearts to Him to give Him everything, this is the work in the heart. Thus, we adhere to Him with both our mind and our heart, two fundamentally different properties that we have for connecting with the Creator.

In order for both the mind and the heart to always work only for the Creator, it is necessary for our feelings, thoughts, and desires to be in Him.

Question: When reading the primary sources, it seems that the Creator sets very strict conditions for us, and egoism shrinks. How can we love the Creator in a way that we gladly agree to fulfill these conditions?

Answer: The Creator’s conditions seem strict to us because they are too heavy to fulfill individually. But if we implement them with mutual assistance, they are perceived as doable.

There is no greater pleasure, happiness, and sensation of an open world than nurturing such feelings toward the Creator.

Open these books and you will find all the good orders that will appear and the end of days, and you will find within them the good lesson by which to arrange mundane matters today as well, for we can learn from the past and by this correct the future (Baal HaSulam, “The Last Generation”).

Question: You have always said that Kabbalah is not concerned with our world at all. It lifts a person into the upper world and describes spiritual states.

It turns out that Baal HaSulam was the first of the Kabbalists to write about the arrangement of our world?

Answer: Yes, before Baal HaSulam, almost none of the Kabbalists wrote on this topic. For the first time in history, he began to describe our world, the upper world, and the transition between worlds.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that he is not one of the most outstanding representatives of the human race, and if he has opened these books and took some information from them, then in principle, any chosen ones of the generation, with a little effort, will be able to find in these books everything that is required to build a society.

Why does he write so modestly about himself?

Answer: The fact is that those who study Kabbalah see his achievements anyway. And what should he write to those who do not understand anything about it?

Question: And when he talks about the chosen ones of the generation, who is he talking about?

Answer: About the first persons of the generation, the sages. People who do not study Kabbalah will not be able to take information from these books and build a society of the future. After all, how would they know what to do?

This knowledge is not transferred from the boss to the performer. Those who will directly work with the world and organize it as humanity of the last generation should master the wisdom of Kabbalah and its techniques.

Question: Baal HaSulam emphasized that he takes the principles of building a future society so close to his heart that he can no longer restrain himself and he decided to reveal this wisdom.

He wrote these lines at the end of his life. Doesn’t everything written before that prove that he revealed Kabbalah to people? After all, he is the author of a huge number of books.

Answer: He meant that he had not yet revealed this kind of information to the world.

Question: The ten can lead a person to fall and in the same way to rise. Can one friend lift the entire group? And how can this be done?

Answer: No, he cannot. Indeed, in this case, all the friends must completely reset themselves, i.e., cancel themselves and completely adhere to him. And he will cleave to the Creator. Of course, it is possible to do this, but we still need help.

Question: Why does it happen that one person can bring down the whole group?

Answer: It is the same. Take examples from our lives such as climbers working in one team. If one falls, they all fall.

Question: Lately, there has been a feeling of emptiness. I do everything to unite with the ten, but the emptiness only grows. With what thoughts should I feed this emptiness? Or is it better to leave it blank?

Answer: You all have to unite as one ten over this void, and then it will gradually decrease and disappear.

Question: How can we try real bestowal so that the heart and mind serve exclusively the Creator?

Answer: It depends only on your request, prayer, and nothing else.

There is no golden key or secret lock cipher here. Just check yourself for the purity of your thoughts and feelings directed toward the Creator, correct them all the time, and ask Him to correct, direct, correct, and accept.

We must put our hearts and minds together and try to make them work in the same way toward the goal. That will lift us to the Creator.
