Question: Whom does a teacher of Kabbalah follow?
Answer: I hope that I am following my teacher. I am already connected with him, but, speaking in an earthly language, I can report to him with a calm and open heart, as I realized everything that I received from him. And I am not ashamed of what I have been trying to do after his death.
Question: Can Rabash [1] see what you are doing now?
Answer: What does “seeing” mean? This is a single system that penetrates all information flow from beginning to end along the whole desire called “creation.”
Rabash is at a level in which he includes us within him. We are within him. Every Kabbalist who is on a higher level includes those lower than him within himself.
We are within Rabash and receive the Upper Light [2] only through him, and he is within Baal HaSulam [3], and so forth. This is a system of concentric Sefirot.
