Question: Let’s say I ask the Creator to change my qualities so that it would be possible to bestow and ask for friends. Am I asking for my private soul?

Answer: No, this is a mistake. This is egoism! Asking for yourself to be a bestower, to care for others, and so on is a mistake.

Comment: But I am asking to give it to me for the sake of bestowal.

My Response: No one needs it in order to bestow. And the Creator too. Bestowal can only be in unification. You have to ask for a structure, for the correction of the common Kli. Only from it can you bestow and do something through this structure.

Therefore, it is said: “An individual cannot separate from society and ask for himself, even to bring contentment to the Creator.”

This is not simple. There is a lot to figure out. It is a big problem. It is not so relevant for us yet. God willing that everyone will ask for themselves to be a bestower, to love friends, and so on. This is also egoism, but of the spiritual degree. But still egoism:

• Give me the strength to love my friends.
• Why should you be given strength? For what purpose?
• I want to love them.
• And why do you need to love?
• I will unite with them.
• Why do you need this unification?
• In order to bring contentment to the Creator.
• So, ask for that!

Ask for that. The most important thing for us is to understand that there is nothing else in front of us except the Creator and our common spiritual Kli, the soul, which must be similar to Him.

All we have to ask for is for this similarity of the soul to the Creator. That is all. Meaning, there is no me there, no friends, no group, nothing at all. There is a soul for which I ask.

Question: What is the difference between the light of mercy and the light of love? Is this the initial stage toward love?

Answer: It is the difference between the light of Hassadim and the light of Hochma. It manifests itself in a person in completely different circumstances.

In spirituality, there is the light of Hochma (wisdom) and the light of Hassadim (mercy). The light of Hassadim is weaker, the light of Hochma is stronger. Therefore, first we must come to the light of Hassadim, which gives us the opportunity to work with Kelim of bestowal.

And then we reach a state where we already have the light of Hochma (the light of wisdom), and will be able to work with Kelim of reception for the sake of bestowal.

Question: What does it mean that the Creator will reveal Himself between us as the center of unification?

Answer: By creating us, the Creator gave us the opportunity and mind to understand and feel that He can be between us. He is ready for this. He made preparations for this, which is why we can discuss it today. The time has come when we can reveal the Creator in our unity.

Question: What does it mean that He made preparations?

Answer: He created all of reality, the globe and the people on it, and revealed Himself in relation to them. And after He reveals Himself, we, on our part, must take several steps forward toward Him.

Question: You said the strength of His revelation depends on the unification between friends. What determines this strength of unity?

Answer: It is impossible to measure. I understand that, technically, this could be measured. It will not be now, but later when we can feel the screen and feel with what force we are attracted to each other and how we hold the Creator.

Question: The congress is a big gathering. How can I feel that I have my ten at this huge congress?

Answer: The entire congress is one ten. All mankind is the Partzuf of Adam, his ten Sefirot. There are no more than ten parts.

The fact they are divided into tens, and tens, and more tens does not matter.

This is necessary so they all can make their own small, correct contribution to the common Kli.

Therefore, we must think about the general, because everyone at the congress wants to be together as one common whole.

Question: Is the attainment of the level of oneness the initial part of the request or the culmination of spiritual work?

Answer: This action is revealed at every degree. It is felt by you in response to your efforts.

Question: How can one understand that a group is advancing?

Answer: If with each passing day the ten experiences more and more revelation in understanding the entire system of the universe, then it is advancing. You simply need to study, read, and try to see the world through every article you learn, and then you will succeed.

Question: Does our connection extend to those friends who were with us but have left the community? Should we continue any relationships with them?

Answer: If they do not come, then there is no need to. You can reach out if there is a specific reason, but generally, you should not pull them back forcefully or try to persuade them to return.

Question: What determines the transition from receiving the light of mercy for oneself to love in connection with the environment?

Answer: A person must change their attitude toward society, toward people, and toward the group. Then they will develop the desire, the vessel (Kli), in which they will feel connection with the Creator.

Comment: We must perform a correction in our connection in the ten to become as one. But the main correction concerning the entire society, all of humanity, lies in including their vessels, as they are the most important.

My Response: No, we are not yet able to think about all of humanity or even about all of society in this way.

But at least within our groups, we must feel that we are preparing for this.

Question: What is the difference between religious people’s fear of the Creator and the Kabbalists’ fear of Him ?

Answer: The fear that religious people experience stems from the fear of punishment. On the other hand, Kabbalists do not have this type of fear. Instead, their fear is focused on the concern that they might not fulfill the will of the Creator.

A serious prayer is required to transition from the one type of fear to the other.

Question: From time to time, we feel fear of the Creator. How can we maintain this state consistently?

Answer: It depends on your environment, on your friends. If you all think about this together, it is as if you are keeping a ball in the air. Just as a team can keep a ball in the air when playing together, it is the same here.
