Question: Why, when a friend has some trouble, does resistance arise in the ten to work with his Hisaron (lack)?

Answer: Because this is not your own need, but supposedly someone else’s. The Creator deliberately burdens your hearts so that you overcome this.

Question: Does the Creator, by this, want to show that the friend himself, in prayer to Him, will feel the strength to rise and unite all friends?

Answer: No, the friend himself cannot do anything. He can only raise a prayer to the Creator and ask Him.

Question: What kind of work should take place in the ten when the Creator pushes it away and then calls it to Himself?

Answer: In the ten, we must work, trying constantly to come closer to each other and then to the Creator.

There are no other possibilities here except to create a common field of unity around us from which we turn to the Creator, convince Him to help us, and bring us closer to Himself.

Question: Will dissemination work allow us to receive the light of the Creator without feeling shame?

Answer: Yes, of course. After all, at that time you attract additional desires to yourself, place them under a common screen, and ask for them to be filled with light so that the Creator corrects them and raises them to His level. What more could there be? Therefore, it turns out that the most important thing is the work in the group.

Question: How can we stay only in thoughts about the Creator or at least quickly return to them?

Answer: It is with the help of a group. It is difficult to do this alone. It is necessary to study, read, and listen all the time. But it is much easier to do this with the help of a group.

When you are surrounded by the thoughts and statements of your friends, when you hear them all the time, you will be able to constantly remain in thoughts about the purpose of creation, about coming closer to the Creator.

Question: Once you said that we are created out of heavy and lazy material, I feel it more and more. Is it right to ask my friends to pressure me, or is it better to ask the Creator to correct it?

Answer: Each of you is becoming increasingly egoistic every day and therefore needs pressure and help so that your friends can pull you with them. That is deliberately done by the Creator so that you feel the need to connect with each other and thus move forward.

If you constantly talk about it, then it will be much easier for you to raise MAN for each other from the heart.

You should get a gradual feeling of approaching the Creator. Through this, you will see what will happen next.

Question: Let’s say a person invests in spirituality and does certain actions, what are the stages of his investment through these actions?

Answer: A person’s investment begins long before he begins to study Kabbalah.

In general, any action in our world, even if it is unconscious, forced, or directed only to maintain one’s body, is still recorded and taken into account. But it is taken into account not as personal, but as part of a machine that moves a person forward as a stage of evolution and instinctive development.

Then, when the person begins to act more or less consciously or even still forcibly, he looks at others and does the same; for example, the way it happens in our world group.

Look at what thousands of friends are doing. They are engaged in dissemination, are awake at night, translate materials from one language to another, and so on.

A person does not even understand why he is guided in this way from above. He feels the need: “I have to do this. This is how I feel that I belong to something big.”

Gradually, these actions become more and more conscious. There is a feeling in them that at first did not exist at all. Understanding arises in them.

After all, when you do the same thing all the time, you delve inside it. The action itself expands your perception, through your contact with what you are doing. You begin to feel the material that you are working with, the way it behaves, its response; Its model starts to be created in you. This is how we advance.

Question: What is the force of the Creator and the strength of His hand?

Answer: This is what the Creator must do to pull us out of egoism and raise us a little closer to Himself.

This is the work of the Creator. And we must always be focused on each other and the Creator so that we do not miss the slightest opportunity to turn to Him for help.

If we do not turn to the Creator, we lose contact with Him. He constantly wakes us up, but if we don’t respond, then the connection disappears. This continues until the next opportunity presents itself, when the Creator will be able to turn to us again and awaken us to a connection with Him.

Question: When a person is in a state of descent, what is the right way to ask for the help of the group to go through this? And after one overcomes everything and rises to the Creator, how can he or she pass this state to the group instead of starting to enjoy for his own sake?

Answer: He must annul himself before the group and perform with it all the actions that it desires in order to be included in it. Only by integrating with the group will one feel how he can help his friends, and continue to do this in accordance with his personal qualities.

That is, he directs all the strength that he receives to filling the desire of the group, which also includes his desire.

Question: You once gave us this exercise: do everything we do in life with the intention for the sake of the Creator. How does this habit help us? How quickly does it lead us out of the intention to receive for ourselves, or is it just deception?

Answer: It may be deception, but it still takes us to the next level because the habit becomes second nature.

The covenant of the eyes, which is caution from looking at women. And the prohibition on looking is not necessarily because it might lead to a thought. Rather, the real reason is that it extends from a very high root: This caution is because if one is not careful, he might come to look at the Shechina [Divinity] (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 67, Depart from Evil).

To look at the Shechina means that a person will want to receive all the pleasures of the world for himself, not in order to bestow, but for himself.

But if we aim for the goal, that is, to connect with the Creator, then we must always imagine Him before us and direct our gaze only to this most desirable goal for us and focus only on it.

And the more he works, the suffering increases proportionally. Finally, the suffering and the labor accumulate to a certain amount where the Creator has mercy on him and gives him a taste in the servitude of the Creator, as it is written, “Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 219. Devotion).

Question: What does it mean “Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high”?

Answer: When a person goes against his desire, above his natural powers, and wants to continue following the instructions of the Creator at all costs, then after this struggle that he wages with himself to fulfill the desire of the upper, the Creator shows mercy to him and gives him the gift of bestowal (Lishma).

Question: At first, we have to go in compulsion and trembling. Is the quality of awe acquired through our efforts or is it also given by the Creator?

Trembling is the fear of falling off the spiritual path and moving away from the Creator instead of holding on to Him despite all doubts and problems.
