Question: What is the difference between forming a union of love and connection in the material world and in the spiritual?

Answer: A material union is based only on material benefits and promises, while a spiritual union depends solely on a shared aspiration toward a common goal.

Question: So does this mean there is no light from the Creator when people form a union in the material world?

Answer: No, there is nothing from the Creator. For that, there are lawyers, judges, and so on. They can be consulted.

Question: If our group has the sole desire to attain love for the Creator, but we are still in the material world, how can we determine that we have formed a spiritual union in the group and that the Creator is the guarantor for us?

Answer: The Creator is not a guarantor for anyone. We must be guarantors for each other. You should thoroughly study the article on mutual responsibility.

Question: How do good relationships between us reveal the Creator?

Answer: The mutual assistance you wish to provide each other connects you, and a vessel (Kli) is formed in your ten. In this case, then the Creator can positively influence you. However, if you do not treat each other well, the Creator will not influence you.

So build the correct relationships between you—a Kli—and you will quickly begin to feel the presence of the Creator.

Comment: When I connect with a friend there is an awareness of evil. I understand that I am causing harm and I want to correct it. Therefore, I ask to be given the force of bestowal so that I can help my friend.

My Response: You are asking for yourself anyway. It does not matter that you are hiding behind some good words. You are asking for yourself!

You must ask for the ten; this is the most important thing. Because in spirituality anything less than ten does not exist. There is a filter there where only ten can pass. Ten means even two if they are correctly connected with each other. Ten is a Partzuf.

Question: So the Creator gives me the recognition of evil, and I abstract myself from this feeling and still ask for my friends even if I feel bad myself or if I feel like I am a bad element?

Answer: Without a doubt. How can you think and ask for yourself if you feel bad? Why does the Creator make you feel bad?

Comment: Yes, I feel that I am harming the group by doing this.

My Response: This should be expressed differently: are you asking for yourself, for the group, or for the Creator?

Baal HaSulam writes: “One must not exclude oneself from the public and ask for oneself, not even to bring contentment to one’s maker.” That is, one must think about the soul! After all, all actions on the part of the Creator are needed only to show us how shattered our soul is. Therefore, all requests should only be about connecting the ten in order to influence the Creator through it.

Question: What is Arvut in the ten?

Answer: You make an alliance with each other that you will go together as one person with one heart to the Creator and combine your efforts to force the Creator to reveal Himself to you. This is what we have to do. Then each of you will get whatever everyone receives together.

Question: How do we make this alliance? Are we making an agreement or signing something?

Answer: No, you do not discuss much. You simply become a group that combines all your aspirations for the Creator into one whole, and the Creator responds to it.

Question: There is always an issue with such an alliance, because some keep it in the ten and others do not. How can we make this a common force?

Answer: You must work on this, unite with each other and build your connection so the Creator would surely reveal Himself in it. The Creator reveals Himself only in the similarity of qualities. If you have the right, kind attitude toward each other, the Creator can already reveal Himself.

Question: There are certain rules Kabbalists must observe: come to the morning lesson every day, pay maaser, and participate in dissemination. Is this what we are talking about when we talk about Arvut?

Answer: Yes, about that too

Question: What is the minimum framework for us to come to the Creator to uphold Arvut?

Answer: To do so, you must treat each other exactly as you would treat the Creator.

Question: There are different people in the ten: some come to class every day, some do not. Does this count as Arvut?

Answer: In general, this is Arvut, but not a complete one.

Question: In a prayer is it possible to ask for us to be able to unite with each other and pass the full measure of light that the Creator wants to transmit through us to the peoples of the world?

Answer: Yes, it is possible.

Comment: What is the relationship between the quality of a collective prayer and the readiness of each ten? And vice versa, how does each ten depend on the collective prayer for its advancement?

My Response: It is a very close relationship. Therefore, we need to take care of one another and be critical of how each ten reveals itself in relation to others in order to provide the correct understanding of moving forward.

Question: Can there be unification without obligations?

Answer: No.

Question: Who sets these obligations?

Answer: Everyone who participates in the unification.

Question: And what if there are disagreements?

Answer: Gradually people begin to understand each other and agree on certain conditions, requirements, and issues.

Question: What should we invest in the unification to fulfill the Creator’s desire?

Answer: Whatever is required. The most important thing is a person’s readiness.

Question: It is said you can receive the light of mercy from the Creator if you ask, not for yourself, but for the society, for the holy Divinity. What does it mean?

Answer: This means that you are asking for filling with the highest light of mercy, the light of Hassadim.

Question: We work in a group, but are we talking about the whole world here?

Answer: No, to feel this light in the group is enough. In other words, you can sense the holy Divinity in the ten.

The holy Divinity is a good relationship between you in the ten. Ohr Hassadim determines it.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that the salvation of the Creator can only be found in effort beyond human strength. We constantly exert effort in our ten during daily lessons, meetings, and calls. But what does it mean to exert effort beyond human strength?

Answer: These are efforts that a person cannot make, but he still exerts in them and hopes that the Creator will add what is needed to his efforts.

Question: What are these efforts, for example, in the ten, that I cannot make? Is it some kind of addition, like another meeting or another prayer?

Answer: Mainly it is prayer. It seems like we are doing everything physically, yet we are not achieving the desired result.

Question: What is the benefit of praying for my friends not only during the ten meetings but constantly, without a set schedule?

Answer: The benefit is that you will continuously channel your prayers and the Creator’s responses through you to them, and in doing so, you will become like a leader in the group, pulling them along with you.

Question: It is said that pure and impure are a matter of a person’s perception. When will we feel that we are pure? Should we check this somehow?

Answer: How will you check it? You can only ask the Creator to reveal your true state to you.

Question: Can we reach one single truth in the group?

Answer: That is how it will be, not now, but at the end of the path. It will be recognizing the revelation of a single desire for all and filling it with light.

Question: When a person finds their love and creates a family, a couple, isn’t this primarily an egoistic action? How should we treat this?

Answer: You should not treat this in any particular way. A person should check whether they are acting out of a good attitude toward others or out of an evil one. That is all.

Question: You said that it cannot be that the truth harms someone. In terms of dissemination, we cannot tell the whole truth there, can we?

Answer: You should always say what benefits people and what is pleasant for them. These two conditions must always be met. You are offering them a method by which they can reveal the meaning of life, its purpose, and how to achieve it. The third condition is to speak the truth. If you adhere to these three conditions, everything will be fine.

Question: The congress is a big gathering. How can I feel that I have my ten at this huge congress?

Answer: The entire congress is one ten. All mankind is the Partzuf of Adam, his ten Sefirot. There are no more than ten parts.

The fact they are divided into tens, and tens, and more tens does not matter.

This is necessary so they all can make their own small, correct contribution to the common Kli.

Therefore, we must think about the general, because everyone at the congress wants to be together as one common whole.
