Question: We say that we are correcting the connection between us. If I do not feel a Hisaron (deficiency) in my friend even though he has problems, should I work on my feelings and use shame? Is it correct not to wait for the Creator to reveal it to me but to somehow activate these forces within myself?

Answer: You wish to connect with your friends and find a new source of energy in your unity that will bind you together, reveal new qualities in you, and push you to make a collective step forward, which was not the case before. This is what you want to achieve.

Question: So should I simply disconnect from personal interests and focus on the collective desire to reveal the Creator?

Answer: Of course. You should have this desire even before the lesson.

Comment: But my friend’s corporeal concerns are my spiritual concerns. He may be facing problems right now.

Answer: Do not take that into account, it will only distract us from the goal.

Question: Could Adam HaRishon have revealed the Creator as the good that does good if he had not eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil?

Answer: That is correct. That is why the Creator orchestrated a specific fall for Adam so he would descend into his egoism and through this egoism come to understand the qualities of giving and love and transform it into altruism. It turns out that the Creator created the evil, and from this evil man makes good. And although we do not perceive it this way, in the end, we achieve this result.

It turns out that the Creator, who created us and our world, made us fall from our initial level and lose the attribute of faith. Nevertheless, we keep moving forward, unite with one another, and we thus reach a state of return where we can draw closer to the Creator and say with an open heart that we wish to be connected to Him.

Question: What does the revelation of the Creator between us mean? How do we feel it?

Answer: The attainment of the Creator between us occurs when each person sees the Creator, who is revealed before him in others.

Question: While not on spiritual levels, can we reveal Him or not?

Answer: No. How could we? He is revealed only on condition that we unite and desire that our unity reveals the Creator to each of us.

Question: So are all the ideas that those who come to Kabbalah have about some connection with the Creator false?

Answer: In general, yes.

Question: I am growing and developing as a person on the animal level, and my animal desires are constantly growing. But if I engage in spirituality, my spiritual desires also constantly grow. In the end, I can’t focus on anything, and I keep getting pulled from one thing to another. How can I balance spiritual and material life?

Answer: This is not balanced by us. A person should take care of their animal life reasonably, and dedicate all the rest of the time and effort to spiritual attainment, which means striving for connection with others in the ten to become more like the Creator.

I can’t tell a woman that she must get married and have children, that is her personal decision. As for men, they are, in principle, more obligated to be married than women. We strongly encourage men to marry because they become more stable, diligent, and consistent. But a woman is stable on her own, so there aren’t such strict requirements for her.

Ultimately, whether or not a woman marries is her choice. But the goal is to devote as much time as possible to spirituality, and to material things, let me quote the original source, only the necessary amount.

And add a bit more joy to your life; this is very necessary. If you don’t feel joy in life, it means you are blaming the Creator for your discomfort.

Question: It is said that if a person does not believe that there is something divine present within the concealment, then he flees from the battlefield. We seem to understand this, but why is it so difficult to believe in practice that there is something divine present within the concealment?

Answer: I don’t think it’s difficult. And who creates this concealment? It is a special action of the Creator, and another special action is His revelation. Both are done by Him.

We need nothing but the right prayer, the right request to the Creator to remove this concealment. And when you feel that everything is revealed before you, you will simply be amazed at what you can see, feel, and be filled with. It will lift you up as if you have become a balloon.

Question: What is the difference between a descent and exile, and how can we avoid confusing them?

Answer: A descent is the loss of the importance of spirituality in my eyes. I feel that compared to what I had before, I have now fallen and no longer value spirituality as I once did. A descent is necessary to lead me to a subsequent ascent.

Exile is a state where I have no connection to spirituality at all, not with descents nor with ascents. I am simply disconnected from spirituality, meaning I don’t feel more or less connected to it, and it doesn’t concern me.

If it does concern me, if I feel much worse than I did yesterday, then it is not exile, but a descent through which the Creator is urging me to return to Him.

Question: How can you infect a ten with your Hisaron?

Answer: If we are connected to each other in the ten as much as possible and we begin to talk about our states, then we come to the realization of why we are together, why we cannot be connected more than now, and the reason for our spiritual illnesses and suffering. In this way, we come to the point of turning to the Creator and asking Him for healing.

Question: If a person physically suffers from some disease, is this help for a spiritual growth?

Answer: Of course this is help. After all, a person could be sick and not feel that he is sick, or die and not feel that he must die. Therefore, all feelings concerning pain, illness, and healing that the Creator evokes in a person are necessary in order to help him recover.

Question: How do we establish a dialogue with the ten as with the Creator that includes the whole world?

Answer: It depends on your states within the ten and outside of it.

Question: What is more important, dialogue with the ten or with Him?

Answer: Of course, dialogue with the Creator is higher, but without going through the ten, you won’t be able to reach Him.
