Our actions lead to us having a correct request or prayer, and that is what the Creator can respond to.

There is the Shattering of the Vessels in the world of Nikudim, then come the Worlds of ABYA, then emerged Adam HaRishon, and then the Shattering of Adam HaRishon.

We call it the world of Ein Sof but it’s not a world as we study in the worlds of AK and ABYA. We’ll find many more worlds too. But for practical purposes there are 5 worlds.

Friends can keep any customs they wish. As an organization we focus on the internality of the Torah, and not on external details. In other words, whatever you see is because as individuals, each decides what he wants to wear and do beyond the protocols of reaching the Creator in the heart.

I assume you mean treated badly in your life outside here. You’re asking as though nature provides me clear connections between how I behave a the results I see. But we know there’s no such causal linkage. That’s why everyone behaves however he wants, as devious as he can get away with. That ego is why one gets treated badly.

Because something more is expected of me, an internal change, and the efforts required to make it.
