Question: Egyptians are desires and thoughts that lead me away from spiritual work. What does it mean to kill an Egyptian?

Answer: To kill the negative intention within oneself.

Question: How can we soften our path since it is challenging?

Answer: Through love for our friends. By increasing love among yourselves in the group, you can do whatever you want with your path and spiritual development.

Question: Every day I complain to the Creator. Why do people fight, why do earthquakes and floods occur? How can we help the planet Earth avoid these sufferings?

Answer: Change yourself so that you relate to all earthlings as good human beings and explain to everyone that love is the highest quality we can receive from the Creator, and it will correct everything.

Question: I feel indifferent to what is happening in the world. Should I emotionally engage in what is happening? What is the right attitude?

Answer: Indifference arises when you cut yourself off from the group, from the masses, and interest in getting closer arises from the fact that you are getting closer to your friends and want to create some common desire together.

Question: Often in work teams there are cases where you have to either listen to or take part in criticizing an employee for his actions. Where is the borderline between slander and simply seeing a person doing something wrong?

Answer: This is not called slander. There is no need to criticize anything. You just need to draw a conclusion and make a decision accordingly. If someone talks about someone in a certain way, then you may need to physically react to it.

Question: This is a work situation in which we identify some actions of the employee?

Answer: Yes, and we need more clarifications of this kind.

Question: It is written that slander kills three people: the one who speaks, the one who believes the speaker, and the one who is talked about. This is written in the Talmud. What advice can be given here?

Answer: From time to time, we should create such platforms within the team where you can discuss someone’s protest against someone so that people learn from this.

Question: So if we are talking about a person in his presence and telling him to his face what we think is the truth, this is not called slander?

Answer: No, but all this needs to be thought through and not revealed point blank, in front of everyone, so that all participants understand that this is being done for their benefit.

Question: On the fifth day of creation, God created animals and birds, i.e., animate desires. What is the difference between vegetative desires and animate desires?

Answer: There is a huge difference! Imagine what would happen if only vegetative desires existed in our world.

How does the Creator approach the creation of man? Through the creation of vegetative and then animate desires. And then man appears.

Question: It is said: be fruitful and multiply. What does it mean that a person discovers this commandment within himself?

Answer: He must think about how to put the commandments of the Creator into action and take care that his Kelim (desires) constantly grow because the greater his desires, the greater the connection with the Creator.

Question: How do you keep a balance between good and evil?

Answer: We cannot maintain such a balance. We do not need this at all since these calculations are inherently egoistic. We must try to surrender fully to the Creator.

Live in a state where you feel completely open to the Creator. Gradually, these feelings will settle in you and take their place.

Question: The exodus from Egypt is the last material frontier of the egoistic world. Beyond it there is a conditional line, where after crossing it, a person begins to feel love and bestowal of the Creator.

What is this transformation that we are undergoing?

Answer: This is the last correction, which is called the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).

It occurred when a group of Kabbalists led by Moses exited Egypt, united with the Creator, received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and thus attained their final correction.

In other words, all this has already happened. Today, we, under no circumstances, need to go to Mount Sinai and climb it. The only thing we have to do is to be internally and spiritually ready for unity in the movement from heart to heart.

Then, we will feel the state called one nation in one heart. That is where history leads us. Everything that happens in the world is only necessary for us to complete it. We live in the happiest time.

Question: It is written, “And the children of Israel sighed from the work, and they cried out, and their cry rose up to God.” Where does this cry come from?

Answer: It comes from a sense of helplessness that people want to unite to succeed and receive fulfillment from the Creator through their efforts, but they see they are unable.

From this, their cry arises, like a drowning person who can do nothing in the sea except cry out for help.

Question: It is written that a person can discover love in a good way or with harsh judgments. How is this related to the feeling that I stand before the King and can reveal this love in two ways?

Answer: This is an emotion; therefore, I cannot convey it to you. Either you desire to increase good within yourself and thus come closer to the Creator, or you demand something to come closer to the Creator.

That is what we do in life. You can ask, cry, and thus draw closer, or make a demand.

In principle, a person should reach such love for the Creator with which the Creator loves him. But this is practically an unattainable degree. That is the end of all corrections.

All spiritual states that a person must go through are inherent within him in potential.

In principle, the Torah and Kabbalah first describe the process of creating creation from top to bottom. But when a person begins to spiritually ascend on their own, from bottom to top, they enter into these same states through which they descended, only now they are revealing the forces that already exist within them.

After being filled with the upper light, one restricts oneself because a person feels shame. Then the process of concealing the Creator begins, followed by the subsequent attainment, where a person reveals the Creator to the extent of one’s similarity to Him.

Question: What is the difference between the similarity to the Creator when a person ascends from bottom to top, and the one that was on the sixth day of creation?

Answer: The difference is significant. In one case, it is done by the Creator, and in the other case, creation is given the opportunity to create a likeness to the Creator from within itself.

On the sixth day, this happened under the influence of the forces inherent in potential. But when we ascend from bottom to top, we take these forces and realize them ourselves and create a human out of ourselves, Adam – from the word “Domeh” (similar).

This means that everyone must write the Torah in their own heart, in their own desire.

Question: How can we check if we are ready to work in self-annulment with all our hearts?

Answer: The evidence is how much a person can dedicate himself to the goal.

Question: The connection with the Creator has degrees. What kind of work helps you see a new degree and not just have a connection?

Answer: Connect with your friends and try to reach the Creator through them, that will be your building of the degrees.

Question: Is the revelation of evil a state or a degree?

Answer: This is a state where I feel how opposite I am to the Creator. At different degrees it comes and goes.

Question: Why does the Creator give man the power of faith?

Answer: Because a person is very eager to do this.

Question: If the Creator gives harsh judgments to someone in the ten, how is it right to react internally and externally to show this reaction?

Answer: Help a friend in any way and quietly pray for him.
