Question: How can I get the feeling of the measure of receiving the light for the sake of the Creator?

Answer: You do not have such a measure of sensing the light to tell that such a measure is good and a little less is already bad. Therefore, it remains only to ask the Creator to teach you how to measure your capabilities and how to ask for the maximum.

Question: What does it mean to make even greater efforts in spiritual work?

Answer: Your intention for the sake of the Creator should be as strong as possible. Think about it constantly, and remember that you can add something else.

Question: There is a lot of tension in our ten at the moment, and an outright war is going on between two of us. Is there a particular correction intended for our ten, and how do we come to it?

Answer: You must rise above all tensions, unite with each other, and from this common connection turn to the Creator and call on Him to be revealed among you. He is obligated to connect with you and share the common desire to dissolve you in Him.

Question: Before receiving any spiritual pleasure, does one understand that he will suffer after that?

Answer: Maybe he understands, but advancement is more important for him.

Question: What does the expression “If you leave Me one day, I will leave you two” mean?

Answer: This is a condition set by the Creator. If you lose your desire for the Creator, it means that He has left you, and therefore you are moving away from Him.

That is, you leave Him, not because you do not want Him, but because He did not want you.

Then, you must conduct a serious study of why this happened, correct what He did not want you for in the past, and develop a new desire for Him. Therefore: “If you leave Me one day, I will leave you two.”

Question: How is this expressed in the ten?

Answer: We cannot even think about relaxing in the ten. We need to think about how to warm our friends up to the ever-increasing contact between us.

A person must repent to the extent that it is “unto the Lord your God.” That is, he should feel that “the Lord is your God” personally, and then the flaw of the tree of knowledge will be corrected. (Rabash, “What is the Meaning of Failure in the Work?“)

We undertake the obligation to rise in faith above reason so neither our faith nor our reason are harmed in any way, and we will thus correct the problem of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge.

The revelation of the Creator’s desire lies in the fact that each of us discovers some of our problems, flaws, and sins that constantly drag us down. But we want to be part of the community of Israel and therefore want to return.

That is, a person wants to feel that the Creator is omnipotent, and wants to belong only to Him and do everything so that the Creator is above him. This is called correcting the flaw of the Tree of Knowledge.

Question: Can we clearly feel the Creator’s desire in the ten to fulfill it? And if we do not feel it, do we believe that we are fulfilling His wishes?

Answer: No, it is not enough to believe in it. You need to know it.

Question: When I look at the world, I feel an internal, endless cacophony of different desires and forces as if I have turned on a hundred TV channels at once. How can I transform this cacophony into a dialogue with the Creator?

Answer: The fact is that as the issues before us are resolved, we increasingly evoke the upper light that resolves these problems. We exist in relation to this light, which arranges us and shapes us into the necessary form, the correct ten. In this way, we move forward.

Question: Annulment is when a person does not have the feeling of the bread of shame. How can one accept this low state without feeling shame? Is it possible?

Answer: Of course, it is possible. It is not necessary to take it personally that I am so low or fallen. That is the creation that the Creator created, and I have to give Him my personal steps and put everything in its proper place.

Question: How can we draw life forces, not from the Klipot, but from the holiness of working for the Creator?

Answer: You need to ensure that any contact with spirituality evokes a sense of tremendous upliftment within you and gives energy to your desires for advancement and attainment.

Question: How can we help our friends on the spiritual path?

Answer: In principle, this help should be mutual since we can only attain the spiritual world if we unite into one group. When we help our friends, we help ourselves.

If several people, not necessarily ten, unite with each other, they correct their egoism. The Creator specifically created the ego, which distances us from each other so that we can try to be attracted to each other and form a single system.

We cannot completely unite because each of us is an individual egoist. Still, we can, despite our egoism, make a restriction on ourselves, not use the ego, and create altruistic connections between us.

That is, we remain egoists within ourselves, and between us we form altruistic relationships, even love.

If we gather together in such a system in which there are many egoists closed within themselves, but they try to unite with good forces, then the surrounding light of the Creator acts on them and unites them into a structure called the soul or Adam since it becomes bestowing like the Creator. That is the state we need to achieve.

Question: What is the right environment for realizing the point in the heart?

Answer: In any point that attracts us with its corporeal pleasures there are three sources of attraction: envy, lust, and honor. We must use them so that on one hand we work with them, and on the other hand we distance ourselves from them.

Rabash writes about it in Note 119. Hence, Klipot [shells/peels] give one an awakening to enter Kedusha because they want to be rewarded with great lights. That is, the Klipot themselves want to come to the light and thus push a person toward actions where spiritual light is present. This is called Lo Lishma [not for Her sake]. Afterward, from this Lo Lishma, he can be rewarded with Lishma.

It turns out that the system of Klipot is very interesting. On one hand, they collect spiritual pleasures, attainments, understandings, and feelings, and thus attract a person. But on the other hand, they do not provide proper fulfillment. Instead, they irritate and pull the person even more toward them.

In this way, a person develops a great desire and a genuine longing to connect with the Klipot. However, when a person is within them, he begins to feel that it is precisely envy, lust, and honor that pull them away from these pleasures. Therefore, being in the Klipot helps a person not to immerse in them further but rather to free himself from them.

Question: When a person strives toward the Creator above their suffering to bring Him contentment and is willing to work without any taste, where does the feeling of joy come from?

Answer: It comes from the fact that the person is advancing toward the Creator. The state of Hafetz Hesed (one who desires nothing for themselves) is impossible without joy.

Question: If there is no joy, does this sadden the Creator?

Answer: Of course. To generate joy, one must constantly think about it. The more you think about it, the easier it becomes to express it later.

Question: Do the three states Hafetz Hesed, the process of correction, and the corrected state bring equal contentment to the Creator?

Answer: Certainly not. They bring contentment to the Creator only to the extent that a person can process these states, bring them closer to oneself, and turn to the Creator with the help of each state.
