Question: What is the repentance of the ten that leads us out of exile and brings us to deliverance from egoistic desire?

Answer: If the friends in the ten feel that they have fallen into their egoism and do not have the strength to rise from it on their own, then they have no choice but to turn to the Creator, to cry, and to pull themselves out of this state with all their might.

Question: How important is it to expect salvation every day, and what does this add to the ten?

Answer: This adds urgency that with each question, with each appeal, you increasingly desire that the Creator stays in your sensations.

Question: Our ten experienced a very strong descent, and now we have risen. We decided to meet physically. What advice would you give us?

Answer: By all means, it is good. Physical actions give something, but, in principle, they do not symbolize anything.

Just pick a couple of good articles that talk about unity between you, and discuss them when you meet; you will feel how much you are already internally connected.

Question: What needs to be done to be given a soul?

Answer: Unite the desires of the people in the ten into one great desire to bestow so that it resembles the Creator in some way.

It is the common soul of the ten. It may be that some feel it and can already use it, and others still cannot.

Question: What does it mean to do good in the ten?

Answer: To do my best to help each friend with whatever he needs to advance.

Question: But this is not enough. We do not have many needs for the ten to grow.

Answer: Try to do what your friend wants so your forces join his forces, and he would achieve what he wants.

This is the meaning of “‘Folly of follies,’ said Kohelet,” meaning that he assembled all those follies into Kedusha, and from them come great unifications (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 560, “Generations“).

Question: How can we transform “folly of follies” into holiness?

Answer: This is something we accomplish gradually.

Even if we do not clearly understand what we are doing, the Creator continually distances us from one another and from spirituality each day. Yet we persist in striving to draw closer to Him. Thus no matter what, we are engaged in this work.

Question: How exactly can this be brought into holiness? For instance, if we are working in the ten and the Creator disconnects us, do we then reunite?

Answer: This process naturally shifts to another degree. As soon as you complete what you were required to do on your current degree, you transition to a different degree, even if you do not feel it and do not think about it.

What does the proper incorporation of each individual in the ten mean?

If we connect with one another and feel the Creator at the center of our unity, it means we are in proper connection with each other. When everyone removes their individual egoistic desires and strives only to uplift one another, then everything will work out correctly.

Question: What speeds up of correction of the desires of the ten, and how can we achieve it?

Answer: Speeding up the correction of the desires in the ten is possible only if we constantly think about it and act for the sake of it at all times.

Question: How should one properly handle situations where there is a shared understanding of the importance of connection and a desire for love of others, yet in specific aspects, emotions flare and make it impossible to achieve correction and grasp what the Creator wants from us?

Answer: Proper work in such situations involves never straying from the thought that this very work is what lies before you.

In all life situations, no matter who you interact or work with, no matter what stirs within you, your sole desire is connection with one another, so that you may gain greater strength to receive for the sake of the Creator.

Question: How can I break away from my egoism that constantly grows?

Answer: Egoism does not grow beyond the measure it was initially created. It simply reveals itself more over time. You should rejoice in this revelation and attribute it to the Creator. This is how the Creator gives you the opportunity to correct it.

Question: There is a great fear of losing the ten because of my growing egoism. After all, I love them very much and I feel that I can harm them. What should I do?

Answer: You must convince yourself that using the desire to get closer to the Creator and receive from Him is the state of your entire ten. Therefore, do not be afraid to receive, to ask and receive again.

Question: You said that we connect intentions with the friends, and in this united intention we will be able to feel the influence of the Creator.

What does it mean to connect intentions with friends?

Answer: Connecting intentions with a friend means that you take the friend as an example and do everything possible to draw closer to them. It does not matter how much you force yourself.

In essence, there is no need to force anything. We just need to be together, in an embrace, trying to get closer with ever greater common desire.

Question: Should I take examples of bestowal that I observe in a friend and try to integrate with them?

Answer: Yes, you could say so.

Question: What is this good inclination that eventually will win, as it is said: “The elder will serve the younger”? What does it mean?

Answer: It means that a person must choose from the one who shows up last, as it was with our forefathers. After all, the power of good appears to us last.

Question: How can we serve it and choose it every time?

Answer: This is what our union is for, it is so we have the strength to always choose the power of benevolence.

Question: But a person cannot stay in the power of good; we constantly fall into evil. Is there freedom of choice here?

Answer: There is. A person makes a promise to move toward the Creator all the time and constantly strive for connection with his friends and upward to the Creator, against his egoism. By acting this way, one confirms and keeps the promise given to the Creator.

Question: The Creator addresses us each time through different states: depression, corporeal problems, lack of attainment, emptiness, through anything, and it is as if we refuse to connect with Him immediately. How can we shorten the time it takes to turn to Him?

Answer: I believe the best approach is to agree in advance to everything the Creator asks or demands of us. This is the most important thing.

Question: What is the place for blessing the Creator?

Answer: The place for blessing the Creator is our heart.

Question: What is this spiritual action—the covenant?

Answer: A covenant in the ten means that all ten participants agree to set everything else aside and work solely on uniting with one another. This covenant must be maintained by them at all times.

Question: We constantly pray in the ten; we ask the Creator for all the friends, for the world Kli, for Bnei Baruch, for you. But recently, we lack strength. Are there any means other than prayer?

Answer: No, there are no other means.
