Seth,
Is it possible we can find in this lesson from Tony, also, a description from the language of roots of the first Commandment as in Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7 “You shall have no gods except Me” and what expressed in Exodus 20:4 to 20:7
Marcelo,
Here is a blog post from Rav Laitman regarding “You shall have no other god…” https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/publications/blog/laitman-com/232882We will open up all of your questions. For now, it is better that you ignite the flames of desire in your questions than we extinguish them with clever answers.
Write down you questions and let the desire to know burn inside, this is the foundation of a correct prayer and that is our most powerful weapon in spirituality.

I wonder if I will feel when I am practicing altruism, rather than ego-based action? Or is it easy to deceive oneself in this way, believing we are being altruistic, when we are actually being selfish or ego-driven? How is this related to self-doubt, or the “inner critic” that we hear?
Dina,
If you are holding a mug with a tea or a coffe in your hand, there is no self doubt or inner critic. It is a reality that in your hand is a mug. There is nothing to debate about.
Spiritual attainment is that clear, it’s not iffy or theoretical. The kabbalists are describing states that a person attains.

I have a question about something that seems a bit contradictory to me: if there is None Else Besides Him, how then can we be independent from Him?
There is said that we can only speak about a creature, if it’s really independent from the Creator (thats why in phase 1 and 2 there is not already a creature, only in phase 3 (the Malchut) because there an independent desire is forming.)
But this seems completely contradictory to the fact that there is nothing else than the Creator and that it’s the Creator that is operating in us, giving us thoughts etc. How then are we independent if everything that is done in us is done by the Creator? Are we really independent or do we just have the illusionary sensation of being independent ?
Bonnie,
Rav Laitman explains:
“Six hundred thousand” stands for six Sefirot of Zeir Anpin multiplied by ten Sefirot in each of them and then by ten thousand, the power of the ascent of Zeir Anpin to Arich Anpin which governs all corrections. 60 x 10,000 = 600,000. Hence, the common soul (the general, final, corrected state) is called 600,000 souls.

Hello,
Can we attain the quality of bestowal by receiving pleasures from our daily activities like eating, studying, loving, traveling etc? How can we give the joy to the Creator by doing our normal daily activities? How to elevate these simple desires, which are not spiritual, and how to use it intentionally not for selfish pleasure, but in order to bring joy to the Creator? Does it have something with the gratitude? Can you give me more details, please?Vladimir,
Yes, we will elevate everything that we do in this world.
It is as if we are living in two worlds.
In one world is our animal body who enjoys food, sex, money, honor, knowledge and power for example.
And above that is the spiritual reality where we have an intention on those actions.
Do I give a gift to a person, but hate them in my heart?
Or maybe I must yell at a child but in my heart it is done with love for them and to protect them from a dangerous situation.
These are examples from our world, but we will learn much more about this spiritually soon in our study.
