Question: Should we eventually organize everything so that every person in the world ends up in a ten?

Answer: If we receive an order from above, we will act accordingly. In other words, if a feeling of the Creator’s will is revealed in us, we will have to fulfill it.

Question: How can we sanctify our vessels? What does that mean?

Answer: It means that the light gives them a greater desire for bestowal.

Question: What does it mean not to yearn for the light as a source of pleasure, but to yearn for it as the quality of bestowal?

Answer: Receiving energy from the light is different from enjoying the light.

Question: What does it mean to create a Kli of the ten?

Answer: In order to create a Kli of ten, ten people unite to form one desire that they strive to realize.

If they are fully aware of it and are in it, this common desire is called a ten.

By fulfilling the requirements of unification, they begin to feel each other and the Creator.

Question: We have daily meetings of the ten. How can we sum up our unity at the end of the meeting and draw some conclusions to reinforce the Kli?

Answer: Of course, you can meet every day and discuss, but overall, even two or three times a week is enough to share your impressions of unification with your friends, talk about new things you can reveal in it, and how to rise higher and higher in unity, closer to the Creator.

Question: Do Kabbalists bestow to the Creator without any conditions regardless of whether they have pleasure or not? How can someone rise to such a level where there is no difference?

Answer: Ask the Creator for the opportunity to bestow even in the worst states.

Question: What about the best states?

Answer: In the best states it is natural.

Comment: In the article “The Creator Is Meticulous with the Righteous,” Rabash writes that in the best states, it is difficult to bestow because when you feel good, you are bribed.

My Response: That is true. What do you suggest?

Question: To find some way to rise above this. After all, it turns out that you are striving for pleasure from the connection with the Creator, which is wrong. How do you act correctly?

Answer: Strive to ensure that pleasure does not take away the correct intention—to bestow to the Creator.

Question: If we renew ourselves daily and start from a clean slate, what is the correct prayer for everything that was, is, and will be? Or should we focus on the present moment and ask for corrections now?

Answer: When we speak of what was, is, and will be, it reflects our attitude to the Creator as the source of everything. But if we ask Him to change us at the present moment, then we are talking about our immediate, moment-by-moment connection, and we turn to Him with this request.

Question: What is more important: to pray for your longevity or for the connection with you not to be broken?

Answer: Do not pray for my longevity or connection with me, but for your connection within the group and with the Creator.

Question: How can I develop a fear that I will be unable to bestow to my friend?

Answer: You should think about this, depict it, and you will acquire the attitude.

Question: What are the consequences if I do not bestow to my friends on time?

Answer: The worst possible consequences are spiritual descent, spiritual exile, or, in general, obstruction of the path.

All creations in the world are many organs standing one atop the other, and when they are all corrected, they will truly become one body (Zohar for All, Toldot [Generations], “These Are the Generations of Isaac”).

Question: Is each ten an organ of the common Partzuf?

Answer: You could say that it is part of some organ.

Question: How can we become spiritual organs?

Answer: That is not your task. Your task is to strive for connection within your ten, then in your hundred, your thousand, and so on. In other words, keep ascending in your connection.

Question: What is a created being in the world?

Answer: A created being in the world is an individual desire to enjoy, to feel that you are alive, egoism.

The Creator created man, meaning a system consisting of many desires and subsystems, all of which are directed toward correcting themselves.

Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the recognition of evil within ourselves?

Answer: See that there is so much of it in you that you can’t do anything about it.

Comment: Sometimes I see that there is too much of it.

My Response: That is good. Suffer from it, hate it, and try to understand why the Creator made you the most egoistic one.

Question: Should we help our friends in the ten come to the recognition of evil?

Answer: You can, but very carefully; otherwise, you will be stealing from them.

Question: How do we avoid stealing from them?

Answer: Do not tell them what is bad or good about them.

Question: What does bestowal mean?

Answer: Bestowal is when a person thinks about how to accomplish the task that the Creator has set for him: to become similar to Him, to become a human.

The fact is that our world consists of four levels: inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, and man.

Man is called “Adam,” which is translated as “similar to the Creator”(Edomeh). This is the state we must achieve. Kabbalah tells you how to do it. It is a method of attaining the Creator on the basis of similarity to Him.
