Question: How can the world Kli tens properly merge into the convention?

Answer: I open my heart to everyone. Let everyone enter it. Everything that I receive from the Creator, I am ready to give to everyone. I constantly take care of this connection between us. Then we will succeed.

Question: But we will go through many different states at the convention. Something will distract me, maybe even throw me out of the state of unity. How do I stick to this particular point?

Answer: Don’t get distracted. Stick to all the hearts, gather them in your hands, and hold them together as one common heart. This is the only way you will feel constantly connected with the whole Kli and with the Creator. The main thing is to think about unity, about the common heart of the convention.

Question: Precisely when I work in the ten?

Answer: You don’t work in the ten, you work in everyone.

Question: In preparation for the convention, we are solving simple issues of the corporeal world, for example, where the congress participants will sleep and what they will eat. Should we look for an opportunity to direct these ordinary desires to the Creator?

Answer: No, everything should be built by a ladder. Since you are gathering with your friends, you must make sure that there is an appropriate place, food, and everything you need. There is no need to turn to the Creator for this.

We turn to Him only so that He will connect us and send us special desires and connection of the hearts.

Question: With what desires should I come to the convention in order to bring contentment to the ten and the Creator?

Answer: With the desire to connect all the friends within yourself. You take the whole group, embrace it both physically and mentally, and raise it to the Creator.

Question: Now at the convention, we will gather with friends in the tens and try to feel the internal connections between us. How can we come together to the first condition of the prayer that only the Creator can correct us?

Answer: Talk about this with your friends and make sure that they think the same way that only the Creator can correct your condition.

Question: And how can we together with the whole world Kli cultivate this common cry?

Answer: To do this, you should try together to get as close to each other as possible, embrace everyone, feel the vibrations of your friends, and unite with them so that there is no space between you.

Come together, bring yourself closer to a global connection, and we will make a big correction in the world.

Question: Lately we have been not just making prayers, but some kind of cry and demand to the Creator to help us correct ourselves so that we can have peace in the world. What is it?

Answer: This means that your heart begins to really open up and demand correction. This will lead us to universal correction.

The most important thing in our work is to unite and feel like we exist together, as if we are one, so that a group or several groups, or all students in general, stop feeling that there is some kind of separation between them. And then we will feel a greater revelation of what we want to attain.

Question: What does “the soul teaches a man” mean?

Answer: This means that a person perceives through his soul all the problems that the Creator puts on his path so that he can ask Him for help to overcome them.

Question: How can we not be afraid of obstacles on the path?

Answer: On the contrary, rejoice if problems arise before you because this is a reason to once again contact the Creator, complain to Him, and make some demands.

He will listen to everything with pleasure since He Himself creates obstacles for you so that you will turn to Him, and He Himself will help you overcome them. If it were not for problems, then you would have no reason to maintain contact with the Creator.

The result of the correct appeal to Him should be the feeling of the Creator, His force, because only with its help can you deal with all your problems.

Question: Is there something we bestow to the Creator in this approach?

Answer: Our requests are what we bestow to Him.

Question: How can a person move to the right line from some neutral state?

Answer: I do not think that a person can instantly move to the right line because he still has a lot of various properties that are opposite to the Creator.

You must collect the correct attitude toward the Creator from your ten, demonstrate it to everyone, and ask for confirmation that you have the correct attitude toward the Creator. Then a right line will begin to appear.

At the same time, you develop strength in the right line. In this case, you attract the whole Kli to this line, and thus reach its correction, but only through yourself. Then the rest of your friends should follow you.

In other words, when you call on the ten to unite with a certain intention, for a certain purpose, and the ten agrees and unites with you, then they are already together in the right line.

Question: How can I check if I am in the right or only in the left line?

Answer: You are in one line if all three lines come together for you, and you are in the right line only when you are able to be in connection with someone and fully justify what comes to you.

Hence, The Zohar makes the precision of telling us that it is from the great ZA, and this is why it said, “patriarchs.” They are called “flower buds,” which means plantings, since they grow like plantings. First, their measure was as that of NHY. Afterwards, in Yenika [suckling], they became HGT, and then, in the first Gadlut, they became HBD of Neshama. In the second Gadlut, they became HBD of Haya.

The flower buds are the patriarchs, who entered in a thought, and entered the next world, Bina. This refers to the Ibur [impregnation/conception] of ZA, since during his Ibur, he rises to AVI, who are called “thought” and “the next world.” Aba is called “thought” and Ima is called “the next world.” There is the beginning of the construction of ZA in three within three, which means that HGT are clothed inside NHY (Zohar for All “The Flower Buds”).

We are talking about the states our desires go through, which gradually develop to a level where we can perceive creation through them.

A certain level of desire development is called “Ibur“—gestation, then “Yenika“—suckling, etc. That is, these are states of a certain connection with the Creator.

For example, in our world, the embryo completely annuls itself in the mother’s womb. The same can be said about spiritual birth, when I do not use my egoistic desires at all, annul them, and thus find myself in some kind of connection with the Creator because I do not receive for myself.

Suckling is a state when I, together with my supposedly egoistic desires, begin to receive gradually, but only to grow and become like the Creator. Then, having absorbed the properties of the Creator in the prior stages, I am already working for bestowal. This is called the state of greatness.

Question: When a friend has obstacles and problems in the ten, it seems so simple and easy that I want to give advice. But is it better to show an example or continue to sort out the situation?

Answer: It is best to show an example. If this example is displayed correctly, it is necessary to repeat it.

Question: What is a free, strong desire to merge with the Creator?

Answer: A free, strong desire is a desire that is freed from Klipot and rushes to the Creator.

Question: Are the various temptations of the material world the biggest obstacles for us, or is it still a bad relationship between us?

Answer: In fact the biggest obstacle lies in the relationship between us in the group. The obstacles may be of a completely different type, but that is the reason.

Question: There are states when, after connecting with friends, you feel lightness and joy from connection, and sometimes there are states when serious heaviness occurs. Are both of these states correct or not?

Answer: Both are correct. In general, all states are necessary because all of them, one way or another, twist us and direct us to the Creator.

Baal HaSulam, who wrote a commentary on The Book of Zohar, says that “flower buds” are the action of the beginning of creation. That is, the Kabbalist sort of sees and wants to convey the process of the development of creation, by comparing it with the flower buds that appear in the land. In this way, he gradually reveals to us the beginning of all creation.

Therefore, in the article “The Flower Buds” we are talking about the evolution of nature in our world until man appears. Then it explains what happens to this man.

It says in the “Introduction of The Book of Zohar“: The flower buds have appeared in the land; the time of pruning has arrived, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land (Rashbi, Zohar for All, “The Flower Buds”). It means that the whole of nature at all its levels—still, vegetative, animate, and human—in its development is gradually approaching a state where a person can begin to act as the peak of its creation.

This process is considered an external manifestation of nature’s development, as well as the internal development of a person. After all, everything that happens is carried out at all levels of nature, including the spiritual one.

Question: Let’s say “flower buds in the land” we can understand somehow: the land symbolizes a common desire and the flower buds represent the manifestation of the intention in this desire. What is “the voice of a turtledove is heard”?

Answer: This can be considered as a manifestation of the Creator’s call for a person to begin interacting with all other levels of nature.

The speaking has virtues: 1 – It acts against the will of the Landlord. 2 – It is not confined to its contemporaries like the vegetative, meaning it is independent of the environment. 3 – It also feels others and can, therefore, care for them and complement them (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 115 “Still, Vegetative, Animate, and Speaking”).

To act against the Master’s wishes means to act against the nature that the Creator has placed in us.
The owner, i.e., nature, the Creator, requires one thing from us, and we choose a higher level. We go against the Creator because we do not want to obey our egoistic nature. We want to be above it.

Question: How does a Kabbalist choose whether now he is going against the will of the master or the will of society?

Answer: It is according to one’s perception of their life. That is already felt in a plant, an animal, and even more so at the speaking level.

To move from the speaking level to the human level, we must go through all the previous levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and speaking. And then we will achieve a complete sense of nature and accordingly, the Creator in whom we all find ourselves.
