Question: You said we build the reflected light from Malchut to Keter with a ten. How? What is this action?
Answer: Try to feel it. Ask the Creator, and try with your friends to be connected so you have the reflective ability of the Kli where instead of receiving, you are ready to bestow. You can reflect the light in a ten if you have a common desire.
Question: Can we say that the common desire is the Malchut of our ten?
Answer: Yes, it reflects the direct light that comes to it.
Question: In our common desire, do we first feel the light, or do we try to bestow, build an intention and reflected light?
Answer: First, you make a restriction (Tzimtzum) and build a Partzuf of reflected light in the opposite direction, from receiving to bestowal, so that your Malchut becomes like Keter.
Malchut de Or Yashar (direct light) is Keter de Or Hozer (reflected light). And vice versa, in the reflected light, each Sefira located above the Malchut of the reflected light is clothed with properties corresponding to it. In this way, you compare yourself with the Creator.
Question: What does it mean that we rise at least a little above our Malchut in the direction of bestowal?
Answer: To rise means that you are ready to accept all the light that comes to you and forces you to accept it only after you make a restriction (Tzimtzum), a screen (Masach), and a reflected light (Ohr Hozer) on it. Then this light can clothe you and fully reveal itself in you.

Question: How can I overcome the feeling of my insignificance? What can I hold on to in these moments?
Answer: These are not moments, but a constant feeling. It will grow gradually and then disappear. How can you cope with this? Only with the help of the friends, by inspiring each other and turning to the Creator together so that He can correct this state.
Question: Is it possible to open your heart to the friends in these moments?
Answer: Yes, you can, but only to your friends.

Question: How can we correctly layout our plans so that they would be directed to the Creator?
Answer: Most important is aspiration to the Creator. A little lower in importance is everything that can bring you to an action for the sake of the Creator. Then there are other actions that together will lead you in the near future to work for the Creator, to unite with your friends, and to fulfill His desires.
In this way a person gradually creates a sphere in which he constantly turns with his friends, with the group, with our lessons, etc.
Within this sphere, a person begins to give importance to every direction, as if he weighs it. Thus, a clear system of aspirations is gradually organized in him: what is important, what is secondary, etc.
Question: During the day, a person experiences a lot of various influences on his decision-making, on his plans. Is he able to process every decision in his life through this network of priorities?
Answer: There is no need if these are corporeal goals; it is only the ones that are aimed at spirituality.
Question: For example, when I have to make some choice in life I weigh how it can get me closer to the Creator, how important it is for me or not. Is it possible to process my corporeal decisions through this measurement?
Answer: Yes, although in general, it is very far from the correct usage. It is possible to make a mistake.

Question: Who belongs to the whole society (Klal)? Can this be said about us?
Answer: No, we belong to a separate class of people who seek the Creator, wish to rise to His level, feel Him, and be in connection with Him. This is our task; this is our life. But ordinary people do not think about this.
Question: Does it mean that we cannot advance without feeling defilement? Is this even necessary?
Answer: Why? No matter what state I am in, I can always turn to the Creator with a request. There is no state in which He would cut off the connection between me and Him. I can be, God forbid, the worst of all that exists and still turn to Him.
Question: But how can we advance from the feeling of our evil nature if we do not reveal it and do not feel like that?
Answer: Start acting this way, and you will see that it will be revealed to you, and how badly you will think about yourself.

This is the meaning of “If he is rewarded, he takes his share and his friend’s share in the Garden of Eden” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 285, “A Person Builds a Building”).
The Garden of Eden is the degree at which we are connected with each other and with the Creator and we feel Him in the connection between us. Thus we complete our efforts and reveal that we are in a state filled with the light of the Creator, His presence, and His help to us. Accordingly, we wish to fill Him with our love and our connection.
The part of the neighbor is that part that is most corrected in each friend and that can connect with the other vessels in the ten.
Question: How can one be rewarded with drawing this part of the friend?
Answer: Through constant thoughts of connection.

Question: How can we, as a group of ten, draw closer to fulfilling the commandment to love one another?
Answer: Imagine that you are in a group of ten. You see it in front of you either mentally or physically. Now imagine that each of you must extend a thread of love to all the others. This network of love that you want to feel is essential. In this network, you will eventually begin to sense the Creator.
Question: How can this love be checked at any time?
Answer: By observing your reactions and the reactions of the Creator. To sense His response, you must explore all the possibilities and see where you can be closer to the Creator and where you are further away.

But in the future, when he engages Lishma, he will build for himself so that he himself will benefit from his work.
We should also interpret “this world.” When one engages in Torah and Mitzvot for his own sake, when the aim is to receive, he cannot benefit from the building he is building.
An hour of Torah and an hour of prayer is similar to a brick over a brick. By this, a large building is made, according to the value of one’s work in Torah and Mitzvot (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 285, “A Person Builds a Building”).
If we want to draw closer to the Creator, we must unite among ourselves. Therefore, this rapprochement and mutual incorporation in the ten forms a certain area between us, i.e., the very house we enter.
Then, we discover that according to what we have built, the Creator is revealed. This is how it works: we build a place, and the Creator fills it.
It is said that I will build and live in this home and not another. “I” refers to the one who desires to create a house from bricks, where each brick is a desire that I combine with other desires and create a common structure.
Properly placing spiritual bricks from lesson to lesson means that all the friends think about how to draw closer to the Creator and take part in this process. The common spiritual brick of the ten in the construction of the Temple is mutual help and joint prayer.
Question: Is each home a separate structure or part of our common Temple?
Answer: If you wish, you can build the Temple together; if not, then it is built only by the one who performs the correct actions.
