Answer: Attaining the ten Sefirot means that a person goes through all their properties that are imprinted on him, associates with them, and becomes like them. Thus, he passes through the world of Atzilut.

Question: How do these properties pass through the worlds and become imprinted on them?

Answer: Each property manifests itself before a particular world and by passing through it, gets colored. as it were, in it, and moves on.

Question: Suppose we want to reveal ten Sefirot in the ten. Everyone feels unity and connection with the friends. What does it mean that the ten Sefirot are starting to manifest in this, and each property has attained this feeling?

Answer: A person feels himself consisting of these properties, wants to feel the Creator in each of them, and thus reveals them within himself.

The Field Where the Future World Will Grow

934The ten (a Kabbalistic group of ten friends) can be perceived as a field in which we are obliged to do certain work.

If our work is correct, our future world will grow in this field, the correct, kind one. In this field we will find the Creator who blessed this field. In this way, we can move forward on the spiritual path.

We are looking for the Creator in our life, where is He? We want to reveal Him, turn to Him, meet with Him, and advance in our lives by following Him or being next to Him, no matter how, as long as we are together with the Creator. It is like a little child who does not know where to go, but he sticks to his mother right next to her and walks with her.

If a person connects with friends and completes the full ten, this group becomes a holy society where one eventually finds the Creator. This whole group is like a field blessed by the Creator, and together with them, one can move toward the goal of creation.

The Creator gave you this group so you could achieve the goal of creation. But this field may remain bare and unseeded or even overgrown with weeds and thorns without yielding useful fruits.

Or maybe, on the contrary, you connect with your friends, strengthen them, and wish that a good harvest would grow in this field, which could provide the whole world, all of humanity. Then this field that is overgrown with thistles will turn into a fertile arable land blessed by the Creator.

To do this, we need to unite and thank the Creator for caring for us and leading us to the end of correction. And the more we unite and become closer to each other internally, the more we will strengthen our connection, called the field, until we realize that we need the blessing of the Creator. And without the help of the Creator, not a single seed will sprout from the earth.

Therefore, all our work consists of connecting and turning to the Creator, asking Him to help us work properly in this field, and to grow such a harvest that can saturate and fill all creations.

To Attract the Light of Correction

938.05Question: How can we build an intention to be giving in relation to the environment?

Answer: Our intention is to receive for the sake of the Creator. And what does it mean for the sake of the Creator? When we connect with each other in a single ten, twenty, thirty – it doesn’t matter, then in this way we attract the upper light, and it corrects us.

Question: When the Creator gives a strong desire to unite, how can we not waste this light? Is it enough to hold everyone in your heart and lift them up to the Creator?

Answer: No, you won’t keep anything that way. You must immediately connect with your ten and rise together using this light, this excitement that you have felt in yourself.

Question: Some friends believe that we should create a “magnet” of unification, and then the Creator Himself will attract it.

Answer: Don’t expect anything from the Creator, act on your own, and if you can’t, then ask the Creator to help you.

What Kind of Prayer Should it Be?

276.01Question: As is known in our world, fear is based on desire. That is, if I am afraid of something, it will happen. Is it possible to change fate if, with the help of prayer in the ten, all fears translate into trembling before the Creator? What kind of prayer should it be?

Answer: It should be an ordinary request that a person supports at the highest level he is able to.

Then, the Creator cancels the fear that He caused in a person and replaces it with another feeling, a more favorable one. After all, a person no longer needs to feel fear because he does everything to rise above the degree of fear to connect with his friends and the Creator.

The Purpose of Disturbances

562.02Comment: It says that if fear overcomes us, we must investigate and study that it is not by chance.

My Response: You must understand what you are asking for or you will receive a reverse reaction from the Creator and will not be able to identify that it comes to your appeals to Him.

Question: But, in essence, we have constant contact with the Creator through the ten. When I realize that I have become detached from it and connect this with the Creator, that He did it so that I think little about the ten, and through the ten about Him, how do I correctly engage in the work?

Answer: The Creator never creates such obstacles for us. He does not want to detach us from the ten or from the purpose of creation. It all depends only on us.

Disturbances are meant to make us even more attached to the Creator and to turn to Him with requests more often.

When Does the Force of Bestowal Appear in the Ten?

934Question: What will help us realize our interdependence within the ten and the world group and maintain the intention to bestow before each action?

Answer: Just as we currently want to receive everything for ourselves, we should desire to bestow everything to our friends in the ten and through them, to the Creator. Bestowal indicates that I think about my friends and ask the Creator for them to receive everything they desire.

If the ten can unite and direct all its desires to the Creator, it means that there is a force of bestowal within it.

Revelation of the Shechina to the Created Beings

938.03Question: What is the revelation of the Shechina to the created beings?

Answer: It is the revelation of all souls connected correctly. When a person attains this, the entire vessel the Creator made is revealed and  He is ready to fill it. The revelation of the vessel is more than just feeling the ten; it is Malchut of infinity.

Question: Should I first feel the suffering because the ten is not receiving the light of correction, and then the ten should feel the suffering of the Shechina?

Answer: No, it is you who should suffer that you cannot correct the Shechina because all your friends should gather in it, and you want them to have the intention to pass the collection of all your desires to the Creator.

Question: How can I inspire the ten to think about the Shechina and build an intention in one direction? After all, I do not know what is in the hearts of others.

Answer: It does not matter what is in their hearts. You just need to talk about this among yourselves, and gradually, through your conversations, the upper light will begin to work on the heart of each friend.

How to Move on to Spiritual Trembling?

294.3Question: What is the difference between physical and spiritual fear? Physical fear is my instant reaction; how can I move to spiritual fear with the same speed?

Answer: To do this, you need to be connected with your friends so that you learn from each other how to provide yourself with confidence so that fear cannot paralyze you. It is very important.

Question: Can my individual fear shift to the ten, and then we will not be able to thank the Creator?

Answer: It does not matter. Fear comes from the Creator who gives it to everyone to the extent and in the form you need to experience it and rise above. But in general, everyone must go through this fear.

The Correct Connection

938.05Question: We all have different perceptions of reality. Should we strive to make it one and the same in the ten?

Answer: We should only strive to ensure that we all strive toward the Creator and support each other. And everything else is as it turns out.

Question: By connecting our hearts, can we see reality through the eyes of a friend without distorting it with our qualities?

Answer: To do this, you need to neutralize your egoism and connect with your friend in his desire. This is the right connection, and we must strive for it.

Question: If I see a friend who is angry, or is in fear for himself, or is offended by others or the Creator, what is the action of connecting with him on my part?

Answer: Calm him down, hug him, draw him to you, and take a couple of steps forward with him.

The Power of Working with Faith

528.04Question: While working in the ten on faith above reason, it turns out that someone has a small stone (faith above reason), someone has a big one (reason), some can rise, some cannot. Why is that?

Answer: Because you are all different. Each of you has your own stone. But by working together, you strive to unite in order to lift one common stone.

Question: So everyone must do this with the strength of all?

Answer: No, each with their own strength. You always have the strength to work correctly with faith and not even entertain the thought that it is something difficult. You must understand what you receive from the Creator and move toward closeness with Him.
