Question: What determines that we are playing with false pleasures in the ten?

Answer: It is the fact that instead of engaging in bestowal to the Creator from your unity, you engage in reception.

To replace these pleasures with real ones, find out how to begin connecting with the Creator in the Kli of bestowal.

Question: How important is it to come out of false pleasures? How important is reaching complete unity in the ten?

Answer: It is very important. How do you achieve this? Think about it and strive for it. Try to connect with each other and create a common Kli together.

Question: Our ten has entered a period when we no longer want to play with toys, we do not want to receive false pleasures. Where should we start to turn all the pleasures into the right ones?

Answer: Start by checking yourself: How do you treat your time, which is given to you by the Creator at every moment, what do you do with it? That is where you start.

Question: Can we say the responsibilities we take on in the ten for the sake of unification are a great help from egoism?

Answer: No, this is a great help from the Creator who made it so we could unite in the ten and thus move forward with the help of friends.

Question: Are we able to enjoy loving each other? Or is this not a goal, but an intermediary stage in attaining the Creator?

Answer: We will be able to love each other only if we see the manifestation of the Creator in the friend. This is the only way we achieve love.

Question: Should we satisfy the material, egoistic desires of the friends in the ten, or only those related to spiritual goals?

Answer: In general, if I relate to my friends in the property of bestowal and want to give to them, then any of their desires are my opportunity to give.

Question: When you receive fulfillment from the Creator and feel that He is giving it to you, how do you return this pleasure to Him?

Answer: There is no need to return anything. When you do something, always think that you want to please the Creator with it. Do what is good in His eyes.

Question: We say that we are moving toward spiritual conception (Ibur). Where are we headed now? How do you assess our current state?

Answer: We are moving toward such a unity where we will truly feel ourselves connected together like a small body. This is the state of Ibur where we have nothing but a common point formed from the connection of many points.

Question: Can this be felt in your own group of ten or in any random group of ten?

Answer: It makes no difference. In spirituality, there is no difference at all. We say a group of ten because there is nothing but that. And if there are thousands or millions of groups of ten, it is still one group of ten. It depends on the scale at which you measure it. You can increase the scale tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a millionfold, and then narrow it back down to the minimal, rational one-to-one scale.

In spirituality, one to one is the ten Sefirot, the group of ten. It contains practically everything created by the Creator. In order to unite and correctly envision this group of ten, we sort of break it down into its components and then try to reassemble it, explore how we can connect, achieve some kind of conjunction with each other, and so on.

What does Kabbalah fundamentally deal with? It addresses the laws of communication between egoistic individuals guiding them to organize into a single integral altruistic system known as the ten Sefirot.

The scale, whether larger or smaller, does not matter. It is the same system. We do not need to correct the whole world, all ten billion people; we need to correct ten people.

Question: You said that only in connection with the upper force is the work of correction possible, and this is the prayer of the ten.

What should our request be so that we truly connect with the upper force and have the opportunity to be corrected?

Answer: Your appeal should be to a single Creator from a single ten.

To receive something from the Creator, you must be like the Creator—united in one system.

A sign of your connection with this force and the ability to work with it is that you receive support, correction, and a certain impact from the Creator.

Question: Why is talking to the ten about your personal feelings, experiences, and sensations not allowed? How can I harm myself and my ten with this?

Answer: When you reveal your personal feelings, you harm yourself and everyone else. We can only talk about our common aspirations. Period! That’s it!

I see that this is not clear to you yet. Therefore, accept it as a law. There are many laws that we follow and live by until we understand their necessity. If you do not do this, you will harm yourself, specifically yourself.

Question: At conventions we usually gather in random tens. What is the path that I should I take with it? What should I strive for?

Answer: To annul yourself in order to connect with the ten in one integral, small system where each of us practically disappears and we feel something common: integrality, mutual complementing of everyone in everything.

Sometimes we go from the perspective that we need to bestow to the Creator, and for this, we must connect. Or we can take another path: first think about the friends, not to mention the fact that this is necessary for establishing contact with the Creator. Both ways are valid. This is called “commandments between people and the Creator.”

Question: What efforts should we make to feel no difference between faith and knowledge?

Answer: Try to be aimed toward the sensation of the Creator constantly.

Question: How can we not miss moments of revelation of the Creator and be in constant interplay with Him?

Answer: It depends on you. The Creator is always ready. You should check what is better or worse when you can turn to the Creator, unite, and strive toward Him.

Question: What is this state when the shadow of the Creator is revealed to us?

Answer: It is the opposite state of the Creator. That is not a descent but doubt, a lack of faith, i.e., still some connection.

Question: How can we help a friend who separates from us?

Answer: Only by praying for him, and you will see how quickly he feels it.

Question: How can we judge light and darkness by the criteria of the Creator?

Answer: You have to learn this. We need to study the meaning of light as defined by the Creator, the meaning of darkness as defined by the Creator, and the difference between them.

Question: Is it correct to use physical examples to aid in developing a spiritual community?

Answer: We should take examples only from the books of Baal HaSulam and Rabash and use them to evaluate every action.

Question: What seems beautiful to us is not always true; we can be influenced by trends or education. What is a “true” spiritual work?

Answer: True spiritual work is when I connect with my ten, hold them together through my efforts, and attract them to come closer to the Creator.

Question: Rabash writes that only the person himself must believe in the immense importance of being worthy of the king’s presence. What does this action “must believe” mean?

Answer: A person must believe that the upper force is guiding him toward the spiritual goal.

Question: Does our soul already know the truth? How can we make a “true” choice through the soul, even in worldly matters?

Answer: You do not know this yet, but ultimately, we will come to this, and you will receive notification of the truth from there.

Question: How can we keep ourselves above egoism if two friends are making remarks to each other in front of the entire group about how each should change?

Answer: You should talk first with one, then with the other. Ideally, the entire group should take it upon themselves to embrace them with warmth.

Question: If you cannot talk about your sensations and feelings in the ten, what should you talk about?

Answer: It is not customary to talk about personal internal feelings in the ten since you can harm yourself and your friends by doing this.

What do we usually talk about? About the greatness of the group, the greatness of the Creator, and what we should strive for, not me personally but all of us together.

You cannot talk about what you are experiencing, how you feel, your emotions, and personal aspirations.
Basically we discuss what is written in the articles.

Question: During workshops, there is warmth and good connection between us. Is there any spirituality in this or is it egoism?

Answer: We should feel the warmth coming from our friends because we are in such a close-knit society. This is very good.

Anyone who does not feel this should work on feeling this. Everyone should suffer with their friends, worry with them, and rejoice with them, we should be working in unison and harmony.
