Question: In Rabash’s article “What Is, “The Shechina Is a Testimony to Israel,” in the Work?” it says that there should be a demand from the lower ones that the Creator give both light and the Kli (vessel).

What is the difference? How do we demand the light and how do we demand the Kli?

Answer: It depends on the person. The Kli is the uncorrected qualities that the Creator sets before us. We must evaluate them and raise them to the Creator so that He corrects them. That is how we pass our path, gradually from an uncorrected state to a corrected one.

And light is the force of correction.

Question: Why is speech and action so important? After all, the evil inclination is inside us, in our thoughts and feelings.

Answer: The main thing is not to reveal to the outside what is in your heart, in your soul. The fact is that if you guard it inside, you will gradually be able to fight it.

And if you talk about it out loud, then it gets out of your control and does not come back, you let your thoughts go into space. Moreover, by doing this, you can harm those who are nearby.

Question: Should we learn to be silent and speak only when we want to unite? Do you need to learn silence as much as possible?

Answer: Absolutely right. This is the best.

Question: As a result of the second restriction (Tzimtzum Bet), four worlds appear: Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya. Worlds are concealments. Why exactly after the second restriction do these filter worlds appear?

Answer: In order to begin to interact with the Creator, we need some degrees along which we can gradually approach Him. Therefore, the whole desire created by the Creator is divided into four parts, four degrees.

They are called the degrees of HaVaYaH (the name of the Creator). As we climb these degrees, we attain the name of the Creator and thus come to His revelation.

In principle, HaVaYaH creates these concealments, the four worlds: Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, and Assiya. What is meant here is not the corporeal worlds, but the spiritual ones, which are measures of the Creator’s concealment.

By revealing the connection with the Creator at a certain level, a person rises first to the world of Assiya, then to Beria, and so on, up to the world of Atzilut.

Question: Rabash writes that a person can work either as a majority and receive enlightenment in the form of surrounding light or as a person with the intention for the sake of heaven.

I do not understand; is it bad to receive the surrounding light? On the other hand, Rabash writes that this is not enough at all.

Answer: If we are connected between us and all the time want to be even closer in our spiritual connection in order to eventually become like the Creator, that is, a vessel for holding the Creator between us, then we become one common whole.

In order to motivate the Creator to give us the opportunity to work for Him, it is enough for us to unite.

The closer we are to each other, the more we are similar to the Creator and He will relate to us with more attention and effort.

The Creator is ready and obligated to help a person in everything. Therefore, there is nothing insurmountable in this.

Question: What is the difference between the light of the Creator and the greatness of the Creator? How do they relate?

Answer: It is practically the same thing and is only determined relative to a person. It depends on how much one truly wants to feel the greatness of the Creator and to sense that the Creator fills the entire world.

Comment: But the light is what is under the control of the Creator and the Kli (desire) is under the control of a person.

My Response: This needs to be sorted out. When a person experiences this feeling, he begins to understand the difference. But for now, one should only strive to imagine how the Creator fills the entire world.

Question: When after great suffering I come to the sensation of the Creator, and the Creator heals me, becomes my salvation, comfort, and rapidly fills my entire world, how can I transition from this state of escaping from suffering to revealing the Creator for the purpose of serving Him?

Answer: You must come to a state where you are ready to completely nullify yourself in order to feel the Creator. To feel how the Creator fills the entire world.

If we start to investigate, we will quickly understand that we, the people of Israel, are to blame for what is happening. We have not followed the straight and right path, which is called the path of the Torah. Therefore, we must now correct our path.

And in this, we need to support and strengthen each other so that instead of lamenting and regretting, we can look truth in the eye and figure out how to move forward on the path to unity, peace, and common harmony and how we can also explain to our enemies that the way to universal harmony lies only in unity among all, so we would stop fighting and proving one’s righteousness, as such a path does not lead to a solution.

The strength of our people lies only in unity. And if we direct our unity toward the Creator, we will find ourselves at the center of creation. From this point, we can achieve success, not just by defeating someone by force, but by proving to everyone that global unity is possible above all enmity and will be the solution for everyone.

We should not consider ourselves righteous, acting at the pinnacle of justice. If that were the case, we would not be in the situation we are in today.

In reality, our condition is no better than that of any other nation or group. Everyone is in complete confusion and global shattering. Therefore, we must know that there is no truth behind anyone. The truth lies only in turning to the Creator and wanting to draw closer to Him so He will care for us.

The only way to escape the trap in which humanity finds itself is if everyone wants to join the central point that gathers all the humanity together and leaves no one outside that center. There will be no good or bad, no disputes between nations and religions; everyone will be obligated to accept all others as members of one community because all people are brothers.

The Creator gave us all an egoistic, evil nature only so that we could rise above our egoism and acquire a good nature against it.

We must understand that humanity has fallen into such darkness that no one comprehends where the truth is, where justice is, and how it is possible to live in peace. If there is no external war somewhere, there is an internal war. Therefore, to bring about the right balance, we must change ourselves.

I wish for people to discover the upper force that can unite all people into one group, into one people of the Creator. Then, we will be in the right state.

May the Creator gather us together into one people and teach us how to relate to each other, what to feel and think about each other. Otherwise, these wars will not end today or tomorrow, but will continue for many, many years.

Therefore, we must demand the Creator to show us the right direction in our development and the right attitude among all nations and all the people.

Question: How from individual work on exiting the will to receive do we connect together in the ten?

Answer: Each of you should be above the individual will to receive and yearn to connect only in the will to bestow. In this way, you perform the appropriate actions and the Creator influences them with His light, and you gradually enter into the will to bestow.

If you show your friends an example of a desire to connect with them, then the upper force passes through this example, which influences them as well.

Question: It is written: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” We are constantly revealing layer after layer of egoism in us to the point where we really begin to hate ourselves.

How then can I love my neighbor as myself if I hate myself?

Answer: You should try to love your neighbor. Today you are still in egoistic feelings, but you love yourself. In the same way, start loving others. This is “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Question: Should the group develop anticipation of pleasure about future degrees and refresh memories of good states that were in the past?

Answer: Yes, absolutely. This supports a person on the spiritual path.

Question: What is the life force, and how do we receive it from time? After all, there is no time in spirituality.

Answer: To the extent that you want to rise above your nature of reception and yearn to be in nature of bestowal, you begin to come closer to spirituality, you receive new forces, and you discover the source of these forces—the Creator.

Question: What is the life-giving force of holiness? Does it exist within us now?

Answer: The life–giving force is the force that holds you and gives you the strength to learn, hear, come to lessons, interact with friends, and so on. Of course, you have it within you. If this force did not exist, you would be completely exhausted.

Question: How can you convince the body that it is obliged to receive life force from spirituality?

Answer: Constantly tell it about it.

Question: When a person comes into contact with Kabbalah a little and sees it as hard work, he begins to use it to justify himself, not the Creator, friends, or the whole world. Can we say this is how the world’s nations learn to serve their king and pray to idols?

Answer: No, this is incorrect. If the science of Kabbalah is hard for a person, this does not mean he can use it as it suits him.

Comment: Let us say I find out that everything is from the Creator and stop making efforts in something. In a way, I am relieving myself of responsibility by saying everything is from Him.

My Response: No. You are not finishing the second part of the sentence. Everything from the Creator is what is given into your hands to correct.

Comment: When the work feels difficult, they tend not to finish the second part of the sentence.

My Response: But what can you do? If you run away midway, you will not get to the end.
