Question: If I carry a state of rejection to the ten, how do we work within the ten without falling into the left line and making it worse if the friends have a similar state?

Answer: Add up your states with the rest and achieve a positive effect.

Question: Why is it important to state the intention before the lesson? When I hear my friends, my heart opens. What happens when everyone says the intention and comes to the lesson with it?

Answer: You get a common intention. You connect with each other, and it means a lot. You open a common Kli, vessel.

Question: When we meet with other tens, we interconnect, open up to each other, unite, and feel great inspiration as if the Creator is between us. At our ten meetings, it all goes away and is erased as if we are shy and do not appreciate each other. How do we work with it?

Answer: The Creator shows you that you are not trying to keep yourself in a state of unity with each other all of the time. It is bad. There must be the importance of friends.

Question: It happens that during the lesson the head is empty and does not want to think, and the heart is full of love for friends, for the world Kli, for you, and for the Creator. Is this a normal state?

Answer: The normal state is when both are included in the work and you feel very close to each other.

Question: How can we help friends who do not accept connection with other tens that are experiencing hatred and negativity?

Answer: You should say that any manifestations of hatred between you must be rejected. We need to rise above all calculations.

“Love your neighbor as yourself” does not include any past or present calculations: “I love him, but I do not like this one,” and so on. No. This is how we should treat everyone. There are no calculations, sufferings, tricks, or anything like this. Just love.

Question: You said that when you give your friends freedom of action, then you will be free yourself. How can we give friends the greatness of the Creator correctly, so as not to put pressure on them or take away their freedom?

Answer: Open your heart to your friends and let the Creator influence them through your heart as He wishes.

Question: When we gather with our friends, we can see how selfish everyone is; they do not want to unite and exalt the Creator. But when everyone makes efforts on themselves and restricts their egoism, it turns out that everyone wants to work for Him and exalt Him. Can this common desire be considered a revelation of the Creator and His greatness?

Answer: No. On your part, this is a certain rapprochement with the Creator, but absolutely not His revelation in you and not equivalence of form.

Question: It is written that the work itself is the reward. And it is like we were waiting for something else.

Answer: You are waiting for the appearance of the Creator’s qualities in yourself.

Question: Rabash says that in order to annul one’s egoism, everyone in the ten must acquire the force of the whole ten. How can we do it?

Answer: It is very simple. Put everything together and share among everyone. It turns out that you form a ten, although, let’s say there are only four of you, and everyone has the strength of a ten. That is when you can perfectly, easily, annul your egoism.

Question: You said that a person should pray for Malchut of infinity. What does it mean?

Answer: For the global Malchut, which includes absolutely everything.

Question: I connect with my ten and ask for the ten. Where is the connection with the global Malchut here?

Answer: The difference is only in scale. This cannot be divided into parts. Spirituality is not divided into parts.

Question: How do I move from the scale of the connection with the ten to the global Malchut?

Answer: It only depends on how much you increase or decrease the integration of parts.

Question: How can I increase the integration of parts when I feel connected with my friends in the ten?

Answer: Increase the incorporation and love.

Question: Is it within the ten or do I need to add something to it?

Answer: Within the ten. It does not matter how much you add, or how much you subtract.

Question: You said, “Either you give thanks, or you give the Creator a place to work.” If a person has been awarded with a state of gratitude, how can one give a place to the Creator?

Answer: When you unite in one mutual desire to bestow, you open a place for the Creator.

Question: And how do Kabbalists give a place for the Creator to be revealed between them? How do they feel His manifestation in the group?

Answer: They invite Him, attract Him, force Him, and beg Him; they try in every possible way to attract the Creator to the group. And then they see the result; by connecting with each other, they form a common desire in which the Creator manifests Himself.

A common desire in the ten arises when you are striving for the same goal. You try to get closer to each other, and if you succeed, then you move on to connection of one ten to another, and so on. As a result, you should feel the general force that fills you, surrounds you, embraces you. This will be the beginning of the manifestation of the Creator.

Question: How can a desire be shared if each friend has his own taste, his own shade of this desire, feeling, and understanding?

Answer: You will feel that it is common because to this extent the Creator clothes in you. And He is one.

Question: Will we all feel together that the Creator clothes in us?

Answer: Not only all together in the ten, but all eight billion in the world. What is the difference?

Question: How can we make each of our actions precisely so that we guide ourselves correctly?

Answer: You just have to think about it, strive for it, and everything will work out. The Creator will tell you what you still lack, and you will correct yourself.

Question: What are the changes that happen to us as a result of our spiritual work? How do we feel them and how are they manifested?

Answer: Changes happen in us to the extent that we come closer to each other. After all, it is in this case that we become similar to the Creator.

If we come closer to each other in the ten, we come closer to the Creator to the same extent. Then we can measure our coming closer to the friends with our coming closer to the Creator, and vice versa the nearing to the Creator is measured by the extent of our coming closer to each other.

Question: How can we keep the fact that we want to change at the boiling point?

Answer: We have to think about the goal all the time and calculate where we are relative to the goal: closer or further, higher or lower, together or not. In accordance with this, we will feel how much we are moving toward the goal.

Question: I am experiencing an uncertain state. On one hand, there is a great regret that no matter how hard I try, I cannot come closer to the friends. On the other hand, I am afraid that the Creator will fulfill my desire and give me the quality of bestowal, which is not very attractive to me. What should I do in this state?

Answer: You should stop making calculations and just hold on tight to your friends; pull them to yourself and you to them, and only in this movement will you find the Creator. He is between you.

Question: If the work itself is a reward, then we should ask the Creator for as much work as possible, the more, the better. At the same time, should everyone ask for themselves or for the ten and the entire world group?

Answer: For everyone. The Creator knows best what to give to everyone. Do not worry; everything is prepared in advance until the complete correction.

Question: As we develop, the Creator reveals new portions of evil to us. And if evil manifests itself in the group somehow cyclically, like previous stages, how can we properly enter a new stage and break this circle?

Answer: Constantly pursue the same goal: I have to rise above my egoism and act in the direction of benevolence toward my friends in the group.

Question: If a person does not raise a prayer for the correction of his nature, is it the Creator who does not honor him with a dialogue with Him, or is it a person’s laziness?

Answer: The Creator waits until a person develops the necessary qualities that will put pressure on him from the inside and force him to come closer to Him anyway.

Question: Let us say a friend participates in lessons, makes maximal external efforts, and comes to meetings, but does not know what else can be added to bring more benefit to the ten, what could you tell him?

Answer: Nothing. Let him read articles about it, there are many of them. But, in principle, what he has to do is serve his ten and be with it in heart and soul.

Question: How do I know when to annul myself and when to lessen myself?

Answer: Ideally, we should always annul egoism and always include the desires of others instead of our own.

Question: Is it necessary to keep such a line when we lower and annul ourselves all the time?

Answer: Do not worry, you are not lessening or annulling yourself yet. But if you put others above yourself, then you will begin to feel the spiritual world in the difference between you.

This is why he who pleads mercy for his friend, they cannot both receive the granting of the prayer at once because only he needs that thing, meaning that salvation—to feel the greatness of Kedusha [holiness] called “raising the Shechina from the dust” (RABASH, “What Is, ‘Anyone Who Mourns for Jerusalem Is Rewarded with Seeing Its Joy,’ in the Work”).

Question: What is the essence of mercy? And what do we ask for a friend?

Answer: We ask that a friend be connected with the rest in a ten in which the Creator could be fully revealed. This is what mercy is.

Question: In the same article, Rabash says that one must ask both for society and for a friend. Does it mean they are the same thing?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Without any transition? Or are they different stages?

Answer: A person loses his temper, and for him there is no difference. He simply asks that the Kli, vessel, be corrected in its external part.

Question: And how can we ask for a friend or for society if the Creator is not important at this moment?

Answer: First you must increase the importance of the Creator.

Question: But we are talking about the state when the Creator is not important, you have to ask. And how can we ask if He is not important?

Answer: Ask.

Question: You said that the Creator and I will be in the same connection as like talking to a person. How can such communication be imagined in the center of the ten where we unite? How does our interaction with this center with this connection happen?

Answer: If you connect with each other in the ten, then to this extent you can connect with the Creator and start a dialogue with Him. And then you have to identify what questions you have. Write them down, scrutinize them between yourselves, and with whatever you find necessary to appeal to the Creator, that is what you address Him with. These can be questions, wishes, all kinds of greetings. Only in short and from all together.

Question: And what I feel from the connection, and I turn from this connection to Him, does that count? Or do we need to formulate a question literally in the ten?

Answer: It is better if you formulate a question, discuss it, and only then ask it together.

Question: What does it mean that Kabbalists ask the Creator a question from the connection? What are they waiting for? Do they want to hear the answer, feel it, see it?

Answer: This is the rise of MAN, the rise of Hisaron, the rise of desire, the rise of what they lack, to get closer to the Creator.

The goal is to get closer to the Creator. Rapprochement can be in the equivalence of qualities. So, all the questions are about how similar our desires are to the desires of the Creator.

Question: Is this a request: “Help us to come to the similarity of You,” or “Tell me how to do it”?

Answer: All this. Only if this is your joint desire, which you have discussed with each other, formalized, and are now raising it together to the Creator, then it will definitely find a place for Him and invoke an answer.

Comment: You said earlier that there will be the same communication with the Creator as with a person.

My Response: Of course. It is even said: “So that the Creator is not a stranger to you.”

Question: How will we feel the connection with the Creator, His answer? What will it be expressed in?

Answer: Ask and start feeling in yourself, start looking in yourself: “In what thoughts, feelings can I sense the Creator? He sent it to me; He definitely sent me an answer right away. And where can I find it within me, in what code, in what language? How is this done?” It is like in computers. It is necessary to look for it: where is His answer?

You can have it in your thoughts, in your intentions, in your connections with your friends. Start digging, poking around.

Question: If He has already sent an answer, when did He send it?

Answer: He has no time, no problems. Usually, His answer is ready before you ask. Because your question also comes from Him, from the Creator.
