Question: How can one understand that a group is advancing?

Answer: If with each passing day the ten experiences more and more revelation in understanding the entire system of the universe, then it is advancing. You simply need to study, read, and try to see the world through every article you learn, and then you will succeed.

Question: Does our connection extend to those friends who were with us but have left the community? Should we continue any relationships with them?

Answer: If they do not come, then there is no need to. You can reach out if there is a specific reason, but generally, you should not pull them back forcefully or try to persuade them to return.

Question: What determines the transition from receiving the light of mercy for oneself to love in connection with the environment?

Answer: A person must change their attitude toward society, toward people, and toward the group. Then they will develop the desire, the vessel (Kli), in which they will feel connection with the Creator.

Comment: We must perform a correction in our connection in the ten to become as one. But the main correction concerning the entire society, all of humanity, lies in including their vessels, as they are the most important.

My Response: No, we are not yet able to think about all of humanity or even about all of society in this way.

But at least within our groups, we must feel that we are preparing for this.

When a person is rewarded with a temporary illumination of Kedusha [holiness], it is considered that he has entered the Temple.

The ruin of the Temple is when the illumination is taken away from him. (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 566, “Cast Their Seed Among the Nations”).

Correctly using the glow of holiness means thinking only about the correction of the common Kli, the common soul, which is called Beit HaMikdash (Temple).

This is not a building that can be built in Jerusalem, but our common soul, which we create from all individual souls through unification, and inside it, in every heart, we prepare a place for the Creator.

You can sustain the glow with the help of prayer for correction, for merging of the hearts. We must unite all our individual desires into one desire, and the Creator will fill it.

Question: Why does the body surrender and allow a person to work for the Creator only when there is true love for Him?

Answer: This is the effect of the light. Sometimes the Creator allows people to feel such an attitude toward Him. This is done so that a person can understand what it means to be closer to the Creator or further away from Him.

Question: You said that peace is correction through love. Is it appropriate to ask the Creator to send peace to the world? Or is that too much?

Answer: No, it is not too much. However, it is best if this is tied to you and your ten.

Question: You teach us that ultimately everything depends on the correct request to the Creator. How can we ask correctly from the heart of the ten?

Answer: Try to imagine the pain the Creator feels when we are distant from Him and how much pleasure we can bring Him if we ask to draw closer to Him and to be included in Him. That is very important.

Question: If I see flaws in others, it is as if I am looking at myself in a mirror. Is the right action to immediately turn to the Creator to correct myself? How can I make this action automatic, or would making it automatic be a detriment?

Answer: It depends on what you ask for. If you ask for the correction of this quality in yourself, naturally, you should expect yourself to change in some way. If you are asking for friends, you should see how much they are changing. But in any case, there will be changes.

Question: If the transgression I see is mine, do I need to say automatically, “This is me? Do I need to be corrected?”

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does this mean that any request is about correcting yourself?

Answer: This is how it is. Do not worry. The main thing is to ask.

Question: And if I ask for correction of a friend without seeing specific flaws in him, does it mean I do not have them either?

Answer: This also happens.

Question: So you do not always need to instantly attribute any flaw to yourself, right?

Answer: No, but when I ask for the correction of some flaw, I can ask for myself at the same time.

Question: While working within our ten we make great efforts to unite, but when we meet with other tens, the sense of unity is much stronger. There are no barriers, only the power, strength, and unity of thoughts and souls. How can we retain such a gift within our group? Does this mean we are ready for connection with the world Kli?

Answer: Perhaps you are already ready, but it still must be strengthened and developed.

Question: How should our efforts and love for the Creator be properly balanced? Sometimes it seems that one cancels out the other.

Answer: Try to connect everything, and from that place ask the Creator for closeness with Him.

Question: If some are interested in Kabbalah and listen to our materials a bit, but do not have the desire to make an effort to study on their own, should we encourage them? Or should we wait for their Reshimot to be revealed?

Answer: It is always worth encouraging them, even for your own sake.

Question: If the heart reveals not only love for the Creator, but also questions for Him, how can this be corrected quickly?

Answer: Try to ask questions while simultaneously expressing love.

Question: Is the desire to receive for the sake of bestowal the same as love?

Answer: In general it symbolizes a good relationship.

Question: If the ten pray together and receive a response from the Creator, should we say that the ten did the work or that the Creator did a good deed for the ten?

Answer: No, the request comes from below, from the person or the ten, and the Creator responds from above through the ten and perhaps directly to each individual.

Question: In our harsh world, there is a feeling that all of us have hearts of stone.

But we so deeply want to ask the Creator to make these hearts soft, like clay, from which we could sculpt a vessel and connect. What can make our hearts soft, collective, and unified?

Answer: The light of the Creator; if He influences us with His light, we will instantly turn into very soft lumps of clay that are able to unite with one another and we will feel Him within us.

Question: We learn that the most powerful prayer is in the ten. How can I draw the power of the ten into my prayer when I ask for them?

Answer: When you invest in your friends in the ten, they can help you to the same extent. But if you don’t, in a way you separate yourself from them. Then what can you demand?

When you ask for them, you can draw the power of the ten into your prayer only if you have a certain preparation and connection with each other.

Question: What change should I feel when I raise my prayer?

Answer: You should feel that the Creator responds to your prayer, lifts you a little toward Him, and you understand more where you are, with whom you are connected, and how you can take part in the general correction.

Question: But at the same time am I asking not for myself, but for the entire soul?

Answer: Yes, but you are involved in it; it comes from you, so everything is credited to your account.

Question: We mainly work in the ten, and I first focus on my friends. How can I switch from my friends in the ten to the entire soul?

Answer: We do not quite understand how this is done yet, but we will get there. We only need to master this path when a person, based on his small egoistic desire, receives an impetus, rises closer to the Creator, tries to contact Him, and asks to use all his spiritual desires, his entire soul in this connection.

Question: Are all my spiritual desires something that also applies to my friends?

Answer: Yes.
