Everything is mingled with each other and when the souls come out, male and female are mingled in them as one (The Book of Zohar, “Like an Apple Tree between Forest Trees“).

Question: Why is both masculine and feminine included in each of us?

Answer: It comes from nature. Our body is designed in such a way that it cannot have only one property; it has both male and female hormones, all kinds of properties. Even in the human psyche there is a masculine side and a feminine side.

Question: What is the function of the second half, which does not seem to apply to me, I am a man. Why do I need female hormones?

Answer: Without it, you would not understand a woman. Such one-sidedness would manifest itself in many things, and you would not be able to develop because the female component also takes part in your development. Conversely, there are some masculine qualities in a woman.

Question: Does it happen that masculine qualities prevail in a woman?

Answer: Yes, it can be detected even by appearance and not only by matching properties.

Question: What is a mutual guarantee in a person’s internal perception on a sensory level?

Answer: It means that you pray to attain mutual guarantee together with your friends, and in response, you receive the revelation of this quality from the Creator.

Question: I feel that I want to connect with the friends, but it may harm them. I realize I will not unite with them because I fear my egoistic influence on them. Is that part of the calculation and part of the mutual guarantee?

Answer: Partially, yes.

Question: How can I progress from this state?

Answer: Ask the Creator for the feeling of how you might harm your friend, and then you will see what to do next.

Question: What gifts can I give the Creator to buy His love?

Answer: Don’t pull the upper light to yourself with your ego, but want to bring it through yourself to your friends.

On one hand you are connected with the Creator and on the other hand with your friend, with one or many, or with all, bringing light from the Creator to them.

Question: Does this happen only through prayer?

Answer: In every way of this world. It can be with the help of a prayer, desire, or even without words, with actions.

Question: How do I make sure that I gave Him a gift?

Answer: You have to feel it. Ask the Creator to allow you to feel if you are acting correctly.

Question: You said prayer is needed to break through the bubble of illusion where we are separated. What kind of prayer is this?

Answer: We should not think about ourselves, but about our common desire, intention, and goal, of how we unite our desires into one perfect desire. We need to understand this well.

Question: What do we give to the Creator if He is perfection?

Answer: Our desire to be connected to Him, to adhere to Him.

Question: What do you do when a person wants to nullify himself, performs this action, but then becomes passive and indifferent? What is the mistake here?

Answer: The ten should hold him in its arms, let him try, and you will help him.

Question: Let us say his opinion differs from the others, and the others do not accept his opinion. Then, the friend seemingly annuls himself, but at the same time, he loses strength and cannot do anything. What should he do?

Answer: It is true that he has no strength because he does not yet have real, correct desires. It is impossible to receive strength from egoism.

In principle, the main thing is to pray, to ask the Creator for strength, and to understand where he was thrown and in what state. From all this, he will receive the right feelings, from which he will slowly rise to the Creator. He will see that he needs to ask.

Question: How should the group act? You said that it should hold him in its arms. What kind of support is that? Should we say that you have a different opinion, but we still love you? Or should we listen to what he says?

Answer: No, it is not necessary to listen. If you hold him, he would understand this and want to gradually free himself from your help and learn to hold himself.

That is, he should gradually become independent. That means that in any circumstances, he will orient himself toward connection with the Creator through his friends.

Question: Why is it important to maintain the understanding that everything we ask for and include in our prayer is what the Creator has awakened within us?

Answer: How could it be otherwise? Everything comes from the Creator. That is stated at the beginning of our prayer: “I am the First, and I am the Last,” and “There is none else besides Me.” By this, we strengthen ourselves and place ourselves in the position that the Creator has affirmed as our true state.

Question: And if we miss this moment, are we essentially missing the connection with Him?

Answer: Of course.

The person received an inheritance from his teachers not to let anything be built on this dust, except for the Temple (Rabash, Notes 804 “Raises the Poor from the Dust – 2”).

Dust is not soil, stone, or sand, but specifically, dust, meaning a part of the earth that is useless for anything.

When a person sees that they stand on dust, it indicates that there is no future, and they still do not have the foundation on which to build the Temple, a house of sanctity.

Question: To build the Temple, on our part, we need agreement with the Creator, patience, lowliness, and prayer. What does it mean to agree with the Creator?

Answer: It means agreeing that we are low in our desires and must unite with one another in prayer to the Creator to reach correction. That must be clearly understood both emotionally and intellectually. It is a good degree.
