Question: What does it mean to look at the world through the eyes of the ten?

Answer: To look at the world through the eyes of the ten means that I see in everything only the revelation of the Creator in relation to people who want to connect with each other in order to reach Him, to rise to Him, and to be connected with Him.

By acting in this way, we connect and arrange ourselves parallel to the Creator or against Him, and then we can feel His reflection within us, His attitude toward us. This is the revelation of the Creator to the created beings.

Together, all ten people, we tune into the Creator, to this wave, to this force, like pendulums that begin to swing in unison.

Question: Is it possible to explain this law of the Creator from the point of view of physics?

Answer: Of course. It is a common force that operates throughout the universe. By its gradual influence, first of all on us, on people, it wants to bring all creations—inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human—to one single image, that is, to connection with each other so that everyone complements everyone else.

Question: Is it possible to assume that proceeding from the law “the particular and the general are equal,” it is enough to unite into tens in order to reveal the upper force?

Answer: Yes, a ten is enough. Even two people are enough. When two people mutually desire to rise above their egoism, unite with each other in order to adhere to the Creator, and do everything clearly and correctly, although it is very difficult, they can achieve their goal.

If people unite in a ten, then it is much easier for them to unite with a hundred people, with a thousand, and so on. At the same time, the sensation of the revelation of the Creator also becomes much stronger.

Question: A person consists of billions of different molecules and atoms, but looking at him, I see a whole body. Is it the same with the Creator? Does he see ten as the smallest cell? Or does He see us separately?

Answer: The Creator sees everyone. But in order for us to interact with Him, we need to be like Him. We achieve similarity if at least two people unite with each other, i.e., when each annuls his egoism and connects with the other. However, it is easier and more correct to do it in the ten.

Question: How can we use human shame correctly?

Answer: First we need to study this quality well so that we can unlock it and become free from it, free from our egoistic or mental animal shame.

I must say that the new generation is already moving toward this. It does not recognize various external attributes, such as beautiful clothes or far-fetched salon appeals. Young people can wear T-shirts, shorts, and worn sandals. They are more outspoken; they do not hide behind an ostentatious state of success or behind an ostentatious order, and so on.

Meaning, they do not hide. “Life is s—t, there is nothing good in this state!” They have everything in a somewhat nihilistic form, but in general, they are not afraid to open up and be frank. This is very good.

There are great prerequisites for starting to properly master the attitude to shame in groups of these people. ”Shame should not be for who I am and what I am. If you don’t like something about me, then tell those who made me. And not even to my parents, but to some forces of nature. This is how I was born, this is how I was brought up, a certain amount was invested in me in some way, and here’s the product for you—this is me. I look at myself and am dissatisfied with myself. But what can be done?”

In order for us to somehow redo all this, first of all we need to understand that we should not blame ourselves for who we are. We should not be proud and wear it like a badge, “That’s what I am, I’m tearing my shirt off! Look, I spit on myself!”

There were such philosophies in the past and they still remain today. This humiliation of oneself causes some kind of rise, as if, above oneself.

We need to properly relate to egoism and to ourselves so as to separate what is given to me from what I have to do myself. And what I have to do myself is just to connect with a group of people where I create the right relationship between us. Kind, correct relationships with love will cause the appearance of an upper degree among us, an upper force—the Creator.

This is our next degree, which we must discover and exist on. Our existence will consist in that we will increasingly accumulate strength and good mutual connections between us. And this next degree will manifest itself more and more along all 125 degrees that are possible in it, along a spiral.

In this way we will rise to our complete correction, to the world of infinity. But from the very first minimal degree, from the emergence of the right good connection between us, we will already begin to feel that we are outside the material world. And this degree is waiting for us.

Mutual guarantee means that we completely depend on each other, as if we are sitting in a boat in the middle of the sea at risk of drowning in our egoism and finishing our lives in this way. If we want to reach the shore, we must stick together so that everyone helps the other.

No one will come to our aid from the outside until we help each other ourselves. Therefore, we must feel that we are in the same boat under the threat of dying. Only if we help each other get out of the ocean of common egoism surrounding us from all sides, can we be saved.

Imagine yourself in a boat in the middle of a raging egoistic sea. If we support each other, then the sea, with its inner force (the force of the Creator), will take our boat ashore.

The people of Israel were assembled from representatives of all seventy nations of the world to serve as an example of mutual guarantee for everyone else. This group has become a small kernel of connection within the entire vast humanity. The whole history of humanity forces the people of Israel to disperse around the globe in order to convey this message to humanity through philosophy, science, and most importantly, religion.

We are yet to reveal that only this force operates in the world and controls it from the center of reality. Now we are approaching the final stage of this development; it depends only on us whether we will reach it the easy way or through great suffering, problems, and wars.

The entirety of humanity has reached a state when it is ready to listen to the issue of mutual guarantee. Every day we feel more and more how connected we are with each other, so much so that it is impossible to separate us. All nations, countries, and governments are trying to somehow single out and isolate themselves, but nothing will work. We only plunge ourselves into suffering, through which we will understand more clearly that we are tightly connected and can achieve success only through mutual guarantee.

Otherwise, the world will not calm down. It will experience wars and difficult scrutiny. Someday, however, after many years of suffering and problems, we will realize that everyone depends on everyone, and there is no other force capable of governing us except the force of mutual guarantee.

All of humanity is in one small boat in the middle of a big raging sea. If we do not recognize our mutual responsibility, we will plunge ourselves into great troubles. Of course, in the end, we will decide that we are obliged to be in mutual guarantee.

Today, no country in the world can exist without connection with other countries. And it would be desirable for these connections to be positive. After all, bad connection causes troubles to others, and boomerangs back to you. Only through some human, normal agreements is it possible to come to peace.

Thus, we will learn that only mutual care and mutual guarantee can lead us to a good life. Then we will discover that there is another goal—to acknowledge the global force that operates in the world. It is impossible to govern the world without knowing this basic law of loving one’s neighbor as oneself.

This is no longer a simple caring for each other, but complete rejection of the egoistic approach. Instead of foreign ministers helping each country take care of itself, there will be other ministers taking care of the connection between everyone and its mutuality. After all, we will not be able to exist otherwise.

This will lead us to the need to study the laws of mutual guarantee, that is, the laws of the true reality. We live at a time when for the first time the world feels its integral dependence, interconnectedness, and therefore, responsibility to each other. No one has the right to do what he wants, regardless of others. After all, we see what this leads to. Everyone has to take the entire world into account.

This is how we come closer to the truth, which is not found in any country, in any government, or in any person. The truth is above us, and it lies in the good connection from each person to all people.

Question: In the laws of our world, the number “10” manifests itself in a variety of areas. For example, in physics, it is a 10-dimensional structure of our space in superstring theory. In mathematics, it is the decimal system of calculus.  In biology, a flock of more than ten animals is considered very strong, and tough. In anatomy, if we consider the human body, it has ten fingers, toes, etc.

Is there any connection with a spiritual number “10” with spiritual forces?

Answer: Yes. All these phenomena come from a spiritual root. The upper force goes through ten degrees until it creates a lower force that can be reflected back in it.

The connection from the top-down, from the Creator to the creation, and from the bottom up, from the creation to the Creator, can only be through ten degrees, Sefirot, emanations.

The upper force has built our material world through ten degrees, ten phases.

Question: It is written in the Torah that we must give away the tenth part of everything we receive. What does it mean?

Answer: The fact is that the highest part of the spiritual system, Keter (crown), comes directly from the Creator. The influence of the Creator spreads through nine degrees and reaches the last tenth degree, Malchut, which wants to receive all the actions of the Creator into itself.

Despite the fact that Malchut receives from the Creator everything beautiful, good, kind, and eternal, this separates it from Him in qualities, since He is the giver and it is the receiver. Therefore, if Malchut wants to attain the Creator, to get closer to Him, to be not just receiving and distant, but bestowing and close, it makes a restriction on its desire to receive and begins to act: as the Creator is to it, so it is to Him. This is its correction of its nature.

By making the restriction on the last phase, you perform the opposite action, that is, you already receive in order to bestow. You continue to receive into the previous nine Sefirot, but not into Malchut, and you perform these receptions in order to be connected with the Creator, to bestow to Him.

This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah studies: how we can become similar to the Creator and thus get closer to Him.

Question: Is this why in our world this is manifested in the form of the law described in the Torah that the tenth part of the earnings, harvest, and generally everything one receives should be given either to the Temple or simply be detached from oneself?

Answer: Yes, you cannot receive one tenth of what you earn. This part does not belong to a person. It belongs to the Creator.

Therefore, a tenth part is usually given to charity, to spread knowledge about the Creator in the world and to give people an understanding of how to interact with each other, with the Creator, how to rise above their egoistic nature, and so on.

Comment: According to the Torah, every ten had to have a leader who influenced everyone with his wisdom. And so on up to the heads of the tribe. But then this structure ceased to exist.

My Response: No, it is not that it ceased to exist. It was decided to continue this state until complete correction, but then everything was drowned in common egoism.

Previously, there were tens, thousands, and tens of thousands of people who were interconnected and created a spiritual field between them that helped them to be in the quality of mutual bestowal.

If a massive number of people think about the same thing and aim for the same goal, then everybody inevitably aims for this goal.

Question: Do you think that in the future, humanity will be divided into tens and hundreds in the same way?

Answer: I am sure that people will want not to be divided, but rather to unite.

Question: The concept of the ten comes from the structure of the ten Sefirot. And where did 50 and 100 come from?

Answer: The fact is that you continue to count by tens, and you reach five tens, up to a hundred tens, and so on.

Question: But why not 60, not 70?

Answer: All these actions, on the one hand, are multiples of ten, and on the other hand, are multiples of five: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut.

In principle, the minimum number of people who must be in connection with each other in order to be in mutual guarantee, in the quality of bestowal, and become like the Creator, should be five. But if there are ten, then, of course, this is already a more extensive system.

Question: How can one fulfill the Creator’s program without feeling satisfied as a result?

Answer: Why not feel satisfied? You have to be satisfied and you have to be in joy from it. Only joy should be the result of the action of bestowal! Joy from the feeling that you are in others, that you bestow to them, and that you are for them, and in this you are like the Creator!

Comment: But there is such a formula when you do it so that the Creator won’t even know.

My Response: The Creator knows everything! But I have to tune myself as much as possible to bestow and therefore I imagine that I am doing an action that even He does not know about.

It is impossible, but I have to imagine it so that this action will not be egoistic and instead is outside of me, not for myself.

Question: Igor writes: “Why do I live in doubt all the time? Why do I have to choose something all the time and at the same time suffer every time I have to decide something, even the simplest thing, like which sneakers to buy, not to mention a car or an apartment? But the worst thing is that today I do not know who is right, who to listen to, who to follow. My question is: How can we make decisions?”

Answer: Do not listen to anyone. Follow absolutely no one! In no way and to no place! You have to feel that you are in a vacuum each time and there is nothing around you, nothing to lean on, no markers, no signs where to turn, what to turn to, or how to step. Nothing.

You have such doubts that there is nowhere to put your foot in this life and you do not know where to step. That’s it.

This is a wonderful state! When you have only one thing left—the opportunity to turn to the Creator and feel that you depend only on Him! That’s all. This is the most reliable state. And the most correct one.

Question: So, are you saying we can only rely on Him and not at all on anyone else?

Answer: Of course. If He gives us such states that we feel that there is no one else besides Him to rely on, this is a great salvation. It is in order to always have such questions whatever they are, so that I find answers only if I aim for the Creator. Then everything gets solved on the way.

Otherwise, we cannot do anything. These constant doubts are all we need in this life. Everything comes from the Creator and turns into doubts, indecision, and questions in my egoism.

And I refer it all to Him, together with my egoism. I adhere to Him. And in this form, I am waiting for a decision. Not even just a decision, I am waiting for action so that the Creator Himself will do it, perform it. It is the same as when you take a baby, put it in front of you, move its legs, and teach it how to walk. Just like that.

Question: What you are saying, can it be applied to any issue at the lowest, every day level, at any level?

Answer: At any level.

Question: Up to the highest?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Will I hear the answer then? If I tune in, will I hear the answer?

Answer: Since the Creator is perfection that includes everything, there is no small, big, or insignificant event for Him in creation. Absolutely all of them are equal.

Question: So, are you saying that the little steps of this little man, of the baby, lead to dad, to the father, over there? Is this what He wants, that we slowly, in small steps, get there?

Answer: Naturally. You just need to feel that He places your feet. He directs you to Him precisely with the help of these questions, failures, states of uncertainty, and so on.
