Kindness without Additions

528.02Question: What does the concept of kindness without any additions mean?

Answer: It is an absolute, pure good without any egoistic additions to the extent that we can isolate it and hold only on to it.

Question: How can we move from egoistic to pure love in the ten? Do we do it ourselves, or does the Creator transition us due to our requests?

Answer: As much as we want to be in a real non-egoistic connection between us, we are closer to the Creator. He is correcting our connection.

Ask Without Stopping

534Question: In an ordinary society, we are afraid that our egoism will be hurt and we try to pacify it. Why is it in the ten that egoism breaks through without restrictions; why is it so uncontrollable?

Answer: Because it is in the ten that we have to correct it. But we do not know what the level of initial egoism depends on. This is how our initial conditions and many other parameters with which we are born are set.

Question: What can I do if I understand in my mind what the recognition of evil is, but I cannot feel it in my heart?

Answer: Ask all the time without stopping like a child who wants something and you cannot get rid of him in any way. This is the way you should ask.

Questions about Spiritual Work—14

626Question: A person wants to be good and not just to pretend, but flaws are constantly being revealed in him. Can he build an intention that the Creator would change this in him for the sake of the friends?

Answer: He can ask the Creator for this.

Question: To what extent should the recognition of evil develop in us so that we can come to love of others?

Answer: The recognition of evil must be complete.

Question: Where can I find an example of an image of a person that I can follow and imitate?

Answer: These are your friends in the ten. Without this, you will not advance.

Question: When we work for the sake of bestowal and do not want anything in return, it is similar to the feeling of losing taste in a meal. What should we ask for in a place of this emptiness and lack of taste?

Answer: We must always ask the Creator to work with us.

Question: We should not wait for compensation for our egoism. But what if there are a lot of thoughts about this compensation in my head? How can I calm them down, how can I fight them off? It is impossible to find a foothold; there is confusion in my head.

Answer: Hold on to the Creator through the group. It only depends on Him to what extent you will be corrected.

Why Do You Want To Be Good?

528.01Question: Can friends in the ten do and say what they want? After all, it is our custom to justify a friend. Or do we need to demonstrate a good attitude to the ten before we can feel the other?

Answer: This is not simple. The question is why are you doing this. Is it in order to look good in the eyes of others so that you do not get beaten up and scolded?

Why do you want to behave well? This is the problem, because as soon as you have no restrictions and others do not see you, you will immediately change your behavior and start doing whatever you want.

Therefore a person’s education should be such that he constantly feels himself standing before others. It is not a matter of fear that they will see that he is bad and can punish him, but he just wants to be a different person.

In the ten we cannot do whatever we want. We must behave such that everyone feels good with us.

Symphony of Hearts

934Question: How can we harmoniously enter the symphony of hearts?

Answer: You should be connected with your friends in the ten and try to complement each other all the time so that you can feel and understand each other’s hearts. And then you will feel how mutually connected you are and that the Creator is playing on your common heart.

The Creator is like a bow of a violin, and we are like strings. Try to develop your connection so that the melody of the relationship between you and between you and the Creator is played all the time.

Question: If everyone’s heart is a musical instrument, do we play like an orchestra or are we all a single instrument?

Answer: We are either one instrument that includes absolutely everything or a multitude of instruments playing like an orchestra. But it does not matter. The main thing is that there should be consistency between us.

Over time, we will learn and feel how all nature plays—birds, animals, people, fish, no matter who and what—everyone is included in this game, and everyone eventually praises the Creator.

Question: How can we become a bow in the ten? Sometimes when I play, I feel that it causes rejection in others.

Answer: The main thing is to hold hands together and move forward. One word and another that you all understand together, and advance this way.

Don’t Wither in the Ten

528.01The Creator gives a point in the heart and brings a person to a ten where he falls into the hands of his or her friends and feels safe. In this calm state, one begins to “fall asleep.”

And what should you do? You must take on some work in your own or in the world group and do it with all your might; otherwise, you will drown and wither in your ten.

Question: How can one come to a state where one person is responsible for the whole group?

Answer: When we connect, we turn into one man. This is how we appear before the Creator, as one man with one heart, one desire and one man from all of us together.

Questions about Spiritual Work—11

963.5Question: How should I relate to the pleasure from meetings of the ten?

Answer: Enjoy; just make sure you understand that you receive pleasure from the connection with the friends.

Question: What should one choose: a meeting with the ten or watching a lesson alone?

Answer: Undoubtedly, a meeting with the ten. You can listen to the recorded lesson later.

Question: Is it true that suffering and pleasure are the carrot and the stick from the Creator?

Answer: Let it be so for now. Later, you will see that both are carrots.

Question: Is efficiency in spirituality the ability to quickly rise above states?

Answer: Yes, from a descent to an ascent.

Inevitable Change

231.01Question: At the moment, we do not have external constraints that would force us to stay in a virtual connection. How do we get back to physical meetings? What is the difference whether we work in the ten or gather together with all the tens? There are no restrictions but they remained within us, and we got stuck in them.

Answer: I see that after the virus there are many changes in each of us and between us, between the tens, and in general groups. There is nothing we can do about it. We must understand that such changes must obviously take place.

We, in Israel, also have big changes in the groups, in numbers, in connections, and in the way we unite. I think that it will take some more time, and maybe it will turn into a new state and not somehow return to the past.

Every one of us must work in their group. The tens are by no means canceled; the wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about their necessity. Connection of the tens, however, will begin when we come closer to the common desire. As it is said in the Torah when they entered the Land of Israel, they began to unite and correct themselves. I hope this will all become clear soon.

Sensitivity to Friends

528.02Question: There are states in the ten when you feel ascent, joy, and love for friends. It seems that everything is fine. But suddenly friends leave with great criticism. Does it mean that we do not see the real state of the friends in the connection but only our egoism?

Answer: It happens in different ways. How can we rise above egoism without revealing it?

Question: How do we step over our states and see what friends really feel?

Answer: You have to imagine this even if you do not see it. You have to justify them.

Of course, you may not notice that a friend is feeling bad. Therefore, we need to talk about it and try to think good about everyone.

Question: In developing sensitivity to friends, we experience two polar states: either you are completely insensitive or, to the contrary, you are very worried and overreact about anything. How can one control this sensitivity?

Answer: I cannot advise anything. Keep going and you will see that you will still come to the correct result. Just continue, every day, so that there is something new in your relationship and in your appeal to the Creator.

Overcoming

528.04Question: What does it mean to work for the Creator? Is it when we work on overcoming rejection and disagreement, annul ourselves, and experience a state of lowliness from this?

Answer: It is necessary to overcome rejection only in the connection between us and not individually. It will not do anything. It is only in the connection. This is called overcoming.

Question: Is it when the ten connects and asks the Creator?

Answer: At least a few people from the ten.
