Comment: There is always a layer of internal feelings behind your words. I understand what you are saying when you are explaining it, but I cannot convey it to others. There is always something lacking.
My Response: You will not succeed because my spiritual perception is on the opposition of two systems: egoistic and altruistic. And I somehow project this onto you. But you so far have only one system, i.e., you perceive what I say, but cannot convey it to another person.
Question: And if I were to manage to convey information to a person, would he be able to perceive it?
Answer: Every person can perceive it to some extent because you convey it to them in your instruments.
Question: When you speak in public, you have an internal exchange of information. People understand you, but when they leave a lecture and are asked, “How was it?”, they can’t really answer.
Answer: Nevertheless, they were able to feel something within themselves. They saw truth, logic, feelings, and verbal transmission of information and accepted my message. But they cannot convey and accurately define it. That usually happens the first time we perceive something new. But then you have to work hard to begin to recognize all this.

Israel were made by the Creator, the heart of the whole world. And so are Israel among the nations, like a heart among the organs. And as the organs of the body cannot exist in the world even a minute without the heart, all the other nations cannot exist in the world without Israel (Zohar for All, Vol. 7, “Pinchas”).
Some nations live so far away from the people of Israel that they have no connection with them, yet they exist. It is not just about mere existence, but about a deeper meaning, about connection with the center of the world, with the Creator, which for other nations can only be through Israel.
And since people subconsciously seek this connection through Israel and do not find it, this leads them to hatred toward the people of Israel. Thus antisemitism arises. People do not understand where their hatred comes from. But in reality, the internal reason lies in the feeling that they cannot find the center of the world through Israel, from which they could fill themselves and their souls.
Therefore, they blame the people of Israel and think that if they could eliminate them, they could somehow arrange their own existence. But it will not work out that way.
Israel must be the heart of the entire world, the center of unity through which all the world’s nations unite with each other and the Creator. The connection of the world with the Creator goes through Israel. It turns out that Israel must raise a prayer for all the nations of the world and feel their desire as its own.

Question: You said that we are connected to the nations of the world through Malchut. How do we work with this? What should we do with this common desire?
Answer: The nations of the world mostly stem from Malchut de Malchut, while the souls of Israel come from the first nine Sefirot within Malchut. Therefore, the souls of Israel can begin to attract light upon themselves and then channel it through themselves to all the nations of the world.
Although Israel goes first, when the nations of the world come to master the correction of nature, they will do much more than Israel as they comprise the main part of Malchut.
Question: How can I associate myself more with the first nine Sefirot than with Malchut de Malchut?
Answer: The first nine Sefirot represent the quality of bestowal. If you align yourself with the qualities of bestowal as much as possible in every movement you make, you will join them. No one will be able to take this from you; you will be in charge of your own destiny.

Question: Could it be that a ten that fulfills the condition of Bnei Baruch, the love of friends, is at the level of Lo Lishma (for oneself)?
Answer: Yes, because Lo Lishma (for oneself) or Lishma (for one’s neighbor) is manifested in their intention, but it is not visible from the outside.
Friends can do whatever is necessary and in their intention be completely elsewhere, that is, not advancing toward uniting hearts and not seeking mutual assistance. And this is the main thing.

In his article “Partnership,” Rabash writes about an ideal relationship where the husband works and brings home money and the wife’s work is to cook tasty meals, and everyone is happy.
That is a simple life example of correct relations. The husband brings earnings, which is his task, and the wife assures everyone is satisfied. That is the way it should be in every family.
Of course, we understand that Rabash lived in the previous century when a woman stayed home with children and pots and pans. She had enough work around the house. Nothing was closed for her, but she was not obligated to develop.
Through her labor and attachment to her man, she received from him whatever he had without making any mental effort. She received it only through her mere attachment and exertion of caring for her family.
Question: Does it mean that development does not depend on mental efforts?
Answer: No, at least for women that is true.

Question: It is said that every friend is obliged to fulfill his neighbor’s needs and leave oneself lacking. What do we sacrifice in the ten for the sake of our friends?
Answer: In the ten we must sacrifice ourselves to get closer to our friends and merge with them.
In principle, we do not sacrifice anything because, after all, we begin to understand that what previously seemed to us as an acquisition is, in fact, now like a prison. Therefore, we only gain by sacrificing for the sake of our unity.

However, we should know that one cannot achieve this on his own. Rather, it is said about that (Kidushin, 30), “Man’s inclination overcomes him each day and seeks to kill him” (Rabash, Article 16, 1984, “Concerning Bestowal”).
Question: Where can I get the energy to act for the sake of bestowal?
Answer: Ask the Creator. If the Creator wants you to have such an opportunity, He will give it to you.
Question: Why is it so arranged that I have to ask the Creator for fuel for the action of bestowal? After all, the Creator wants a person to be independent and free. Why can’t I reach this state myself?
Answer: Because you should feel what you get, what it gives you, what you achieve.
The Creator wants us not to be just independent, but independent in our egoism; otherwise, He would have created us differently. We are created to think only of ourselves. For example, when you think about someone else, you involuntarily begin to feel that you are thinking about yourself. This desire to think about ourselves and not about others is our nature, egoism. Therefore, we must come closer to the Creator and try to bring Him contentment by thinking about Him.
Question: Is it possible to bring contentment to the Creator directly without bringing contentment to the other?
Answer: The Creator is also the other.
Question: Does it mean that doing something for the sake of the other or for the sake of the Creator is the same thing?
Answer: It is not exactly the same thing. The difference is in scale. This is not easy, but in principle, it lies within the same boundaries.

Question: The Creator led the people out of Egypt by a long path. Does this mean that after exiting Egypt we must also go through a long path?
Answer: After leaving Egypt, we are still wandering all over the world.
Question: It turns out that if we are still wandering, then each of us has already been engaged in attaining the Creator and studying His laws in the past?
Answer: Yes. Today, there are no new souls in the world at all. We must understand that everything is prepared for us to enter the last, final stage of correction.
We just need to connect with the spiritual root to which we belong. This is enough to enter a state called the Final Correction (Gmar Tikkun).

Likewise, if the feet walk and the hands buy and give the food to the brain, the brain has the strength to think (Rabash, Notes 503, “Partnership“).
Just as the body with all its organs depends on the command from the brain, so in a family, the husband and wife complement each other, create a family, and everything else moves according to their mutual work.
Question: Who in the family is the brain, who are the hands, and who are the legs?
Answer: In the family, the woman does more work. And the husband brings her his salary.
Question: What kind of spiritual salary could a husband have?
Answer: The spiritual salary is what they create as a family; they give birth to children, raise them, and build a home. In general, everything they do, they share between them. To the extent that a woman desires to know what her husband studies, she gradually learns.
Question: And is this related to everyday life, to simple things?
Answer: Precisely to simple things in everyday life. If the wife does everything necessary for the husband so that he has food, health, and strength for work and study, then, from that she receives her share, not only in preparing and maintaining the home, but also somehow belonging to spiritual attributes.
