Question: How do I become a tool in the hands of the Creator?

Answer: Completely annul yourself before the Creator and thus continue your work throughout the journey.

You have a mind and a heart that you must glue to the Creator so that what comes from Him fills them. Then, you will be able to do whatever the Creator desires.

Question: But it is a problem for us to agree with everything that is happening. Is there something else needed?

Answer: If you want to perform such exercises in the ten, it is best to focus on the desire that the Creator fill your mind and heart and that all your actions, thoughts, and decisions would come only from connection with Him. That is being a slave to the Creator.

Question: Why does slavery of desire always lead us to a dead end, but being a slave of the Creator promises us absolute freedom?

Answer: That is His wish.

Question: With what or with whom can we compare ourselves in the ten? Is it possible to take an ideal ten as a benchmark and compare ourselves with it?

Answer: No, we cannot see the ten outside of ourselves in the correct form, not at all. We must examine our ten and aim it toward the Creator. By identifying our egoistic qualities within it, we ask the Creator to correct them.

A person must constantly examine himself regarding how he evaluates his friends and whether he looks at them with a good or evil eye.

Question: Can we combine all the desires accumulated during the day into one desire and bring it to the ten?

Answer: No, a person has many different desires that change throughout the day. One must identify them, unite them, and elevate them, and turn to the Creator and ask for their correction. This is what everyone in the group should do.

Question: If we talk about spiritual beauty, can it be said that this is the revelation of qualities through the ten? In other words, by displaying my qualities, do I recognize flaws in myself, or do my qualities still reveal themselves and the ten helps me turn them around?

Answer: Until you come to absolute integration between you in the ten, flaws will manifest in each of you, and will affect the others. Therefore, you will constantly need to take care to correct your flaws in timely manner, each time in something different.

Question: Do I see these flaws through the ten or does the ten show them to me? How do they manifest in us?

Answer: Usually, they manifest in connection with friends. But, in general, they are revealed by the Creator.

Question: If someone in the ten reaches a higher degree, do the others also end up on it or does everyone stay on their own degree?

Answer: Imagine that now your entire ten is in our lesson. We are all trying to unite, and the whole ten strives to be like one person in whom all desires, all goals, and all intentions come together. This is the state we strive to reach, and we will achieve it.

Then we will be one subject who wants to attain the Creator. But the strength in it will be from ten, the intention from ten. In accordance with this, we will break forward.

Question: You said that a woman’s desire runs in depth, and a man’s desire in breadth. How does this connection and filling happen? How can we feel this point in the ten?

Question: Is it enough just to ask the Creator to correct a flaw? What else is required of us?

Answer: Only to ask for complete correction.

Question: When a person wants to become Israel, but realizes that the body does not let them work for bestowal, what do they turn to the Creator with? What do they ask for? Is it to adhere to the friends to receive a new deficiency?

Answer: If a person’s deficiency (Hisaron) increases, will they have more opportunities to come to bestowal, to progress? Of course not. They will not be able to progress, even with the lack they currently have.

Therefore, we expect a greater connection between us and an aspiration toward the goal. Then, we can hope that we can cry out to the Creator in such a way as to become capable of rising above our initial state. That is the hardest thing—to break away from the ground like a rocket.

Question: What does the most minimal but common deficiency in the ten mean? How do we come to it?

Answer: By despising your egoism and trying to break away from it by any means.

Question: When you reveal the evil in yourself or a friend, how can you use these moments to advance in the ten?

Answer: When evil manifests itself in each of us, we must all try to accept this evil as common and rise above it. In this way, we will accelerate our progress.

Question: If a person overcomes hatred and climbs Mount Sinai, it means he has learned to love. Is it hard work to learn to love?

Answer: In general, yes it is hard work.

Question: How can we develop such a desire for the Creator that the need for the greatness of the Creator is felt as the need for breathing and that only this revives us and gives life?

Answer: Think about it, then your thoughts will turn into prayer and force the Creator to help you.

Question: What does it mean to regard each desire of our friends in the group as our own desire?

Answer: If a person has children, when they ask for something, he begins to feel that their desires are necessary for him to fulfill: to obtain what is needed and pass it on to the child. We can do the same with our friends.

Question: How should we properly work with each other’s desires to generate and transmit the light of correction?

Answer: Accept the desires of our friends as our own.

Question: What do you do in a state of complete disappointment and lowliness when you do not feel a connection with the group and consequently do not have the opportunity to connect with the Creator?

Answer: When feeling your lowliness, insignificance, and absolute hopelessness in your attempts to connect with the group, you should try to sense joy from reaching the right point.

When a person sees that he is incapable of doing anything, he has the opportunity to grasp onto the Creator and see that the Creator gives him a chance to rise.

Question: Can the suffering of our friends due to our insufficient unity in the group be equated with the suffering of the Creator?

Answer: Yes, then we can respond to the Creator exactly as He requires from us.
