Ten Steps to the Creator

 202Comment: Today the state of the world is such that the Creator, the Creator, who created this entire universe, increasingly seems to need a lawyer. Why did He create this? Why did He do this? I have divided the entire history of human relations into ten stages and would very much like you to act as a lawyer. Or in the role of the Creator: Why did You create this? How did it all happen?

Chapter One—The Primitive World

Question: Let’s start with the primitive world. We are interested in examining relationships that have already arisen. Everyone lived as one family. I killed a mammoth and brought it to the fire; everyone ate and everything was very good. There were simple relationships, and there were simple concerns. They lived, and it didn’t matter how long they lived. They didn’t bother with high philosophy. Man and nature—what could be better?

Tell me, please, how did nations appear with their own characters, with their own territory and borders? What was the Creator’s intention?

Answer: The Creator’s intention was to bring humanity to a state where it consisted of many opposing peoples, distant from each other internally and externally, so that they would begin to gradually realize as they developed that they needed to overcome their animal nature.

Question: Is it more comfortable for you, perhaps, to speak from the Creator?

Answer: I can speak from the Creator. I need to raise creation to the level of the Creator.

Question: Is this Your thought, the Creator’s thought?

Answer: This is my thought. And this was done gradually so that people would begin to realize themselves and their opposition to the correct nature and coexistence with each other.

Question: So you created these good “children” who sat around the fire, and everything was fine with them, more or less normal, man and nature. And you wanted to set them apart, right?

Answer: Yes. So that they confronted their nature, so that they counteracted it.

Question: What was their nature?

Answer: An egoistic nature.

Question: These people sitting around a campfire?

Answer: Yes. Little by little they tried to overcome each other, to resist, and to fight. What is mine is mine, and yours is yours.

Question: Did you introduce all this? You, the Creator? Intentionally?

Answer: Yes.

Chapter Two—Wars

Question: Nations, borders, character, clothing, music—differences appeared. In general, all this appeared. And wars.

Again, You, the Creator, why did You pit the nations against each other? Was it impossible to live within borders? We have already separated them. Why was it necessary to bring peoples and countries together?

Answer: It didn’t all start with nations. It started with wild animals, with all kinds of bugs, cockroaches, everything.

Question: Did you also put these wars in them?

Answer: Of course! Into all living things! Every living thing must fight for its life.

Question: Why did you decide that it should be this way?

Answer: Egoism was growing. This is mine-mine, yours-yours. And then mine is mine and yours is mine. And thus development continued. Wars, countries, walls, and fortifications arose. I take everything from you. And from here egoism continued to develop within a different framework.

Question: What was your plan? Was this how to pit nations together, destroy borders, and so on?

Answer: It was so that they would consciously make sure that they could not be against each other. So that they would come to the conclusion that they must coexist in peace and unite with each other. And this must be achieved through increasing egoism.

Question: Was it impossible to immediately determine this point?

Answer: No, you can’t. Otherwise you won’t have an equilibrium system. You need one and the other, two opposing forces. And the person between these two forces would have to control them.

Comment: That is, You, as the Creator, placed man as a yo-yo. The toy that moves up and down.

My Response: No, not a yo-yo! A person must always choose for himself the highest level, which is the overcoming of altruism over egoism.

Chapter Three—Strange People

Question: Wars, showdowns, and deaths began. Things went well; history started unrolling. And at this moment 4,000 years ago, the Creator, that is, you, decide that another nation should appear in the world. Another nation whose fate was determined from the very beginning. Subsequently, this nation will be called Hebrews, Israelites, the Jews.

Tell us about this plan of yours, the plan of the Creator. Why is there suddenly a need for this nation?

Answer: A group must appear that would understand that it is imperative to prefer peace to war.

Question: But it was possible to take some kind of people because nations already existed at that time. Was it possible to identify these people?

Answer: They all existed in continuous wars. It was necessary to find some people who would realize that other principles of human existence are possible in the struggle over hatred in oneself and toward others, without wars.

Question: So there is hatred toward others?

Answer: Yes, it is natural. And in this case, by rising above this hatred, nations would develop by looking at this nation. Therefore, a nation appeared that should have been an example.

Question: So there are nations that arose in the territories thanks to language, geography, and so on. Are you now talking about a nation that arose from an idea?

Answer: Yes, the idea of rising above hatred. These were the Jews.

Question: Did other nations also join it? Was it so composed?

Answer: Yes, gradually a collection of people gathered who called themselves Yehudim, from the word “Yehud—connection. And then they called themselves Israel, from the direction of movement toward the Creator—IsraEl. “Isra” means directly (straight to). “El” means the Creator, that is, directly to the Creator. And thus the whole story began to develop around them.

Chapter Four—And the Nation Began

Question: So, the Jews appeared. As you know, they appeared in Babylon and followed Abraham. It was his idea.

They entered the world and went to the Land of Israel where the Creator indicated to go. Along the way, they had to experience what slavery was, emerge from this slavery, and receive the Torah.

Please tell us about these stages: movement to Eretz Israel, slavery, and receiving the Torah. Why did you, the Creator, need to lead these people through all these sensations and states?

Answer: In order to bring them to full awareness and acquaintance with the Creator.

Slavery makes man dependent on man. And at the same time they must come to a state of only dependence on the Creator.

Question: That is, if I am a slave, I depend on the master. And did the Jews need to feel what that was? Precisely these people?

Answer: Yes. That is why they were in Egypt so they would feel that they depended on others and to get in touch with the supreme, with the Creator.

Question: Then they left Egypt and received the Torah. For what?

Answer: They received a clear list of instructions about what people should be like in order to rise even further to the Creator.

Question: So this was a list of laws, instructions. Did they demand it? Did they need to get this list?

Answer: They guessed that there was some kind of, if not a written list or a list carved on something, then at least a set of laws.

Question: Did they know that there was a set of laws?

Answer: Yes, of course. This is natural human behavior in society.

Question: What does it mean that the Torah was given to them?

Answer: Through several people, the knowledge was received that one must live exactly according to this code, to this principle. And they accepted it and moved toward the land of Israel.

Chapter Five—Temples Rise and Fall

Comment: The Jews entered the land of Israel, in which seven nations already lived. They seized this land, built a country and its capital, Jerusalem. King David, King Solomon—all these are well-known stories.

My Response: In principle, there was a capital. There was Jerusalem.

Question: Yes, that is, they conquered Jerusalem and made it their capital. Temples were built: the First and Second Temples. It is said, by the way, that the time of the Temple was the happiest time both for the Jews and for the world. But the Temples were destroyed.

What was the Creator’s intention? After all, the Temples were built at the height of love for one’s neighbor, at the height of this whole idea.

Answer: In a continuous struggle with oneself. Thus, they still developed and moved forward.

Question: Let them conquer the land, give them a capital, build temples and suddenly start destroying them! For what?

Answer: Building and destroying is generally the only principle of moving forward. It is impossible to move forward without destroying the old. We can see this from the time of the first king, King David, who fought for 40 years.

Question: Such a pearl was built. It may have been a struggle, but it was built. Temples were built. Why did You need to destroy them? Let everyone, as You said, begin to be like this; everyone began to build temples for themselves. After all, what You wanted had already been done.

Answer: Yes, but the principles of the existence of people in this state were, in general, built on love your neighbor. And in other nations it was on the terms of the reign of some family.

Comment: I see. It was, on the contrary, on other terms: I rule over others. Well, that’s good. Let them start to be like Jews.

You said that these people included the idea of love, and all nations had to become like these people, little by little. Why not…?

My Response: How could they perceive this idea?

Question: So could they not accept this idea? They were not able to look and perceive that “Oh, we want to live like this.” They were not able to?

Answer: No, this is all very difficult.

Chapter Six—Exile, For What?

Question: What happened is what happened. The Second Temple was destroyed, the Roman Empire began to rule, cleared this area, and the Jews were sent into exile for 2,000 years. The world at this time was pagan, one might say barbaric, with wars and the same thing, hatred.

Why was it conceived by the upper force to scatter the Jews, to lead the Jews through the world? They had their own state, and now they were led through the world.

Answer: It was to absorb this idea of ​​monotheism, love your neighbor as yourself, and so on, so that all of this can gradually come closer, enter, and take root in all of humanity.

Question: So You say that when there were temples and humanity saw that there were temples there, it could not perceive it. And was it necessary to destroy the temples in order to let the entire mass of people, Jews, through humanity? So that they would bring this idea there?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How did they carry it? There is a record in them that there were temples? Was there such a law among the Jews? How did they carry it?

Answer: When people mixed with each other, some kind of connections were formed. And the Jews began to create the Bible and their own books. And these books and this teaching gradually penetrated into other nations and took on all sorts of other forms in them. Those who, in principle, were perhaps far from ideals.

Question: Are You now hinting at the emergence of religions and spiritual movements?

Answer: Yes, of course. That is why.

In principle, other nations passed through this instruction, the Torah, and gradually became closer to the ideals of human love, connection, rapprochement, and so on.

Question: But did these religions still correspond to the characters of the nations?

Answer: Of course. We could see it.

Comment: But the source was the instruction, the Torah. The commandments were the source.

My Response: But they didn’t deny it; it was natural.

Question: No, no one denied it, everyone referred to this source. And was this the Creator’s idea?

Answer: Of course. Today, the whole world has, of course, altered all the conventions of the Torah to suit itself, but somehow it still more or less orients itself according to them.

Chapter Seven—Hatred and Expulsion of the Jews

Question: Jews would enter a certain country, begin to settle there, and lived in their own community, even tried to assimilate, or did not. The most famous period was the Middle Ages. This was Spain, and at a later time, Poland and Germany.

Why did the Creator need to lead the Jews through the nations, so that they would not be loved, so that they would be kicked out, so that all this would happen? To take the best from these people, for example? But why were they always being persecuted somewhere?

Answer: Yes, this is a very serious question.

Because according to human perception and human nature, hatred is perceived faster and closer than good relationships. It turns out that if you want some of your principles and rules to be internalized, they must go through rejection and hatred.

Question: Do You think resistance and hatred is first? No matter how high and good an idea is, at first I hate it? Why don’t I feel like this would be good for me?

Answer: Because everything comes from egoism. So there is nothing you can do. That is, human egoism began to resist this idea. And since the bearers of this idea were the Jews, they suffered from it.

Question: How did they justify the Creator, may I ask You? Burned in public squares, killed by hundreds of thousands—how did they hold up?!

Answer: What were they supposed to do?

Comment: They remained people who believed and had the Torah.

My Response: This is where it becomes clear how the Creator held them. On the one hand, hatred, on the other hand, strengthening of faith.

Comment: I understand the connection when they beat you and you stop believing. This is a direct connection. But here, on the contrary, they beat you, they burn you, and they kill you, but you believe, believe and carry this standard.

My Response: It is all the Creator.

Chapter Eight—Catastrophe, Creation of Their Own State

Question: So little by little we approached the Second World War. The Catastrophe of European Jewry. On the one hand, this was a huge tragedy, naturally. On the other hand was the push for the creation of the state of Israel.

It is known that the great Kabbalists Baal HaSulam and Rav Kook accepted this state. What did this mean for the world—the creation of this small dot, barely visible on the map—the State of Israel?

Answer: It doesn’t matter that it’s a small dot. The main thing was that this was again an indication in the world that this was the spiritual center of the world.

Question: So the world felt it?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And this strange vote at the UN. Was all this in general the feeling of the world that this place should be created?

Answer: They raised their hands and created it. I think it was done instinctively from above.

Question: But did the world need this place? And again it became a place of struggle and clash.

Answer: Naturally.

Chapter Nine—The Central Problem of the World

Question: Almost immediately with the creation of a state, wars began the next day. And these wars were for the existence of the state. That is, the Jews were fighting so that they had the state of Israel.

Why did the Creator not give the Jews this piece of land and let them live? Why was this place becoming almost the central problem of the world?

Answer: According to the state at that time, the opposition between the Jews was such that they naturally created hatred of the surrounding nations toward Israel.

When they clashed with each other, the Jews themselves aroused hatred from outside nations.

Comment: As You say: “We won’t be able to live in peace as long as we hate each other.”

My Response: Yes. We ourselves create such hatred between us. And by doing this we call upon ourselves the corresponding external forces.

Question: So, do you think that it was impossible for Jews to live here peacefully?

Answer: No! They could not live peacefully among themselves! They argued with each other all the time. This is your synagogue, this is mine! These are the left, these are the right, these are the Moroccans, and these are the Yemenis. And so on.

Comment: But you said that this was a people in which an idea lived. These people were coming with this idea.

My Response: These were people who were not yet ready for this idea. They were not ready to rise above themselves, above universal egoism.

Chapter Ten—It Is Not Simple

Question: This war, which began on October 7, 2023, is the murder of Jews, barbaric and terrible. Please tell me, can it become some kind of turning point in the life of Israel and the world?

Answer: I don’t know. It all depends on how the Creator wants it.
I’ll be honest. I do not see forces in Israel itself that can change it. We hate each other; we are in constant disputes within society.

Question: So do we have to understand this? Is this what should come into us?

Answer: Yes. This problem still remains. Look what happened before the war. Where were all the generals?! Where were all the border guards who cleared the way for all the Arab crowds?! And so on. What is it?! This speaks of the general demoralization of society.

Question: After all, we started with the fact that 4,000 years ago a nation was created who followed an idea. They passed through time, passed through countries, came here, and as you say, continue to hate each other and so on.

Please tell me, when will this point work, what is this idea that these people followed? After all, it exists somewhere! How to grab onto this point?

Answer: That is not known yet. I’m not pessimistic. I just look ahead and do not see this point.

Question: The great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam said that a nuclear third and fourth world war are possible; do you suddenly feel that this is possible?

Answer: I agree with that, yes.

Question: If yes, then what is all this for?

Answer: So that, in the end, Jews and all humanity as a whole will realize the need for a complete correction from egoism, an ascent above this hatred.

We Are Suffering because of the Tower of Babel

115.05Arkady writes:

Dear Michael Laitman,

As I understand it, the Tower of Babel is the root of all troubles. There was one nation, they built a Tower, and the Creator broke it and mixed their languages.

What for? All the terrible things that are happening today are from there.

Please explain these actions of the Creator. You keep saying that He is good. Why did He break the tower, mix the languages, and cause a quarrel between everyone? What for? It all started so peacefully.”

It is written in the Torah (Bereshit, Genesis, 11:4): “And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered upon the face of the entire earth.”

This is how it all started. What is wrong with that, please tell me.

Answer: There is nothing wrong. The Creator did not want it to be like this.

Question: Later it becomes clear that He did not want it to be like this. But what was their transgression? They wanted to build a tower.

Answer: They wanted to be all together, build, and live, be one commune, respect and love each other, and so on. But the Creator wanted it to be according to His conditions and not theirs. This is why He disrupted it all.

Question: What is the Tower of Babel in the spiritual sense?

Answer: It is an egoistic elevation of corporeal life, which is elevated to the state of love for one’s neighbor based on egoism.

Question: Are you saying that this is the main mistake?

Answer: Of course! They do not need the Creator, they do not need anyone: “neither God, nor king, nor hero.” Just us, the common people.

Question: In principle, was this construction of the Tower of Babel by and large at the heart of communism and all revolutions, “peace to huts, war to palaces,” that is, “we will manage?”

Answer: Yes.

Question: When does a person build this inside himself? He is building a career for himself, he is making money, is this when he is gradually building the Tower of Babel?

Answer: Yes, but this is to a small extent. This is not the highest goal. Because in the case of the Tower of Babel, they built it for themselves forever. But here, even though a person is building a career and everything else, he knows that he will die.

Comment: And there, if they could do it, then, as they say, we will reach the heavens.

My Response: Up to heavens, yes. This “up to heavens” is a big problem; the main one. That is, you can build a tower, but do not touch the Creator. You will not reach Him.

Question: Arkady further asks: “What is it that the Creator does not like here?”

“And the Lord said, ‘Lo! [they are] one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they have commenced to do. Come, let us descend and confuse their language so that one will not understand the language of his companion.’

“And the Lord scattered them from there upon the face of the entire earth, and they ceased building the city” (Bereshit, Genesis, 11:6-11:8).

That is, Arkady believes that all the problems began with this.

Answer: Yes. That is, they will not be able to come to a common egoistic result. This result should be: we are all together and therefore we all feel good.

Comment: When we say the phrase: “United nation, we are together, and we will defeat everyone. One nation is invincible”…

My Response: No, this is not enough to defeat egoism. There is also a need for a Creator here. This is the desire of the Creator.

Question: Then on what basis can a tower be built so that it does not collapse?

Answer: Bestowal and love for each other and for the Creator.

Comment: When you say “and for the Creator,” this is difficult. A person does not see or feel Him.

My Response: No, “for the Creator” does not mean some kind of God, somewhere there, so high up that he is not visible. “For the Creator” means a connection between us that we raise above ourselves.

Above yourself, that is, “love your neighbor as yourself.” Then above all this, you raise the ideal of the Creator, who created all this above our egoism.

Question: That is, my nature is “I, and everything is for me,” and here, on the contrary, I want to rise above this so that everything is different, everything is for the other. Is this called building a real tower?

Answer: Of course. Then it will stand forever.

Question: Why do we build towers all the time? After all, it collapsed a long time ago, historically speaking, and we continue and continue to build these towers.

Answer: Humanity needs this. Towers, pyramids, mausoleums—all this is necessary, a person needs it.

Question: Even though they are all falling apart and will definitely fall apart?

Answer: Yes, but we are still building.

Question: Why do we have this in us?

Answer: We need this symbol. We are building a house for our egoism.

Question: So we need a symbol that we can pray for all the time. Is this what they call “praying to other gods”?

Answer: Yes. It can be temples, it can be pyramids, no matter what form it takes.

Question: In what case will we stop building them?

Answer: Only when the Creator is revealed to us.

Comment: At the same time, we do not know when He will be revealed.

My Response: We do not know, but only in this case. Revelation will completely cover our dreams, plans, future, and everything! That is, when He is revealed to us, we will understand that all this was complete nonsense and that we built it all in vain.

Question: You say that the Creator is mercy, kindness, and love all the time, and so on. Why is this such a cruel mercy that it lasts for a long time, that blood has been shed for centuries? Wars have been going on for centuries, but He still does not reveal Himself. Why?

Answer: He is revealed under certain conditions! What do you want from Him? He must be revealed in the state of His absolute unity with people. But it does not exist. And so far, there are no inclinations for this.

Question: The unity of the Creator with people? In which case?

Answer: If we are similar in qualities to Him, that is, if we are like Him, He will be revealed.

We Are Not Obligated to Wait till the End of 6,000 Years

933Question: Has the possibility of unity and mutual guarantee ever been realized?

Answer: Yes, the possibility of realizing unity worldwide first emerged in ancient Babylon 3,700 years ago.

Abraham attempted to accomplish this, but was able to take only a few thousand people with him out of Babylon who, under his leadership, were able to form a mutual guarantee among themselves. The rest scattered around the world.

Today the entire world resembles a global Babylon, and we must return to global mutual guarantee on a worldwide scale. This task must be completed in a maximum of 217 years, but it could end much earlier, possibly even in our time.

Currently, the year is 5783 according to the Jewish calendar. We do not have to wait until the year 6000 as we can attract the appropriate forces and accelerate this development.

In case the world follows the path of suffering and is pushed forward by evolution, then it will continue until exactly 6,000 years. But if it follows the path of light, drawing spiritual actions, corrections, and changes in us, then time will compress to just a few years, and that is all.

After all, 6,000 years are 6,000 changes. These are no longer years as we transform them into our inner changes. However, if we will not do this, then physically on the timeline they will still have to be realized within 6,000 years under the pressure of nature. And if we add the pressure of the right environment to nature, then we will accelerate both the path and the time.

Predisposition to Spirituality

937Question: If Kabbalah is not transmitted genetically, but only through education, why is it believed that the Jews have a genetic spiritual code?

Answer: Because they had already performed spiritual correction once, i.e., they were in these conditions.

The Jews are the same ancient Babylonians who left together with the Babylonian priest Abraham, who brought them together into a state of universal mutual guarantee. That is why this group is so cursed to this day, because after all, it is obliged to bring this method to the world. If the world accepts the method, it will develop at an accelerated scale, and if not, it will develop on a natural slow scale of time. That is the whole difference!

Question: How are spiritual records and spiritual experiences stored in each soul?

Answer: They were deposited in the partzufim of the soul, in the internal state it has passed through, which does not disappear anywhere. It seems to leave a person’s feelings; he does not feel his past, but he can again awaken it in himself.

Therefore, those who were once genetically in this state are more predisposed to spirituality. But the rest…look how many students we have from all over the world!

Humanity can be divided as follows: those who already were once in a spiritual state; these are today’s Jews who are obliged to make corrections and pass everything that is possible onto the world, and those who were not in this state but feel the pressure today. They, too, need to make corrections according to their current spiritual component that is pushing them forward.

But real Jews, who were already in the spiritual state once, are obliged to correct themselves; otherwise, they will be tormented even more.

Connection with the Habitat

740.01Question: What is the basis for the creation of countries? Why are there a lot of different countries and not one common country?

Answer: Everything comes from Ancient Babylon, in particular the settlement of people according to their egoistic qualities.

In Ancient Babylon there were 70 spiritual roots of 70 tribes. But they were all connected by egoism, by one aspiration for the Tower of Babel.

When this system stopped working, everyone started to hate each other, and in order to not unite and not fight, they scattered all over the world: some to the east, some to the west. Later, the great migration of peoples happened again but after many centuries.

Question: If this phenomenon has roots, then why is it happening this way?

Answer: Every nation is drawn to a certain place! Let’s say, the Eskimos went north. It would seem that there is nothing to do there! Yet, they stuck to that earth and besides digging out some roots from under the permafrost and breeding deer, they have nothing else. But they still live there and do not want to change their habitat. That is it! They are simply stuck to it!

But when a person moves from place to place, he as if loses connection with his land, with his juices.

Returning to Babylon

115.05Question: Why does each nation have its own function? For example, for many years Germany supplied the whole world with tsars and kings? There have been several empires (French, German, Spanish, British, and Portuguese), which in principle held the whole world in their hands.

Answer: We should look for the roots of this phenomenon in ancient Babylon where the relocation of people started, why they settled in certain areas, why they developed at a certain period of history, and why history was realized through them in such a way.

Everything comes from the ten Sefirot of the three million people of ancient Babylon. If we study this, we will see how it was implemented.

Today a universal intermingling is happening, and again ancient Babylon begins to manifest itself, only in a new form. There is practically not a single village in Europe in which Turks, Arabs, Africans, and other peoples do not live.

Today you walk around Paris as if you are walking through the Maghreb. If earlier it was felt that there are Parisians and visitors among them, today a dark-skinned population prevails. I am by no means a chauvinist, but I am simply saying that the world is moving toward intermingling of nations.

Language—The External Expression of Inner Essence

525Comment: Hebrew is the language of Kabbalah. But why is it that you can perfectly convey the subtleties of the soul in Russian too?

My Response: The thing is, in my native language I can express the essence of spiritual feelings concisely, clearly, and correctly. I once had an excellent vocabulary everyone admired.

However, over forty years with limited use, both in volume and time, there is little left of it. But still I speak quite precisely, as far as one can express spiritual feelings in Russian.

It has a vast scope of necessary words for spiritual expressions, not precise, but sensual. On our earthly sensory level, this is an excellent language for explaining the spiritual. But a little above, it won’t work anymore.

Over time, as we delve into the upper world, we will see the roots of all languages. But the Kabbalists did not give us the key to them. After all, any language still comes from our nature, from our essence.

Therefore we can express the spiritual essence also in English, Hebrew, Russian, or almost any language because they express the inner essence of a person externally. But we don’t have the key to them.

Should we go up to look for that key? Do we need to? I do not know if this will still be in our future. We don’t have much time left to correct this world and rise above languages, above all the sounds and symbols that separate us. We just need to connect in feelings. In the spiritual world there are no differences between souls, which is called “soul to soul.” So there will be no need for languages.

Languages originated in ancient Babylon, as people stopped understanding each other. Everyone began to speak different languages. But if we speak the same language, then in the end I think it will still be Hebrew because all the symbols, sounds, and the structure of our speech organs are explained and spelled out in it. All the methodology, literature, and sources have already been prepared for us by the Kabbalists of antiquity.

Thus, except for the two related languages Hebrew and Aramaic, all other languages appeared in Babylon when egoism delivered a blow to the small humanity who lived there and began to divide it. The egoistic division between souls was the reason all other languages were created.

But the moment we begin to connect, all these languages will also connect among themselves. I do not know how to describe it, but they will combine together again into one common verbal apparatus.

Answer: It is because the Kabbalistic group that left Babylon with Abraham and organized a separate existence for itself according to spiritual laws took this language as their main language.

Aramaic was also used in Babylon. Aramaic and Hebrew are the source of all other languages. This is confirmed by many scientific studies.

The group of Abraham existed for 3,500 years before the collapse of the state of Israel that occurred 2,000 years ago, and they used this language as their own because they were in spiritual attainment.

The Jews wrote in this language about their spiritual attainments. The Bible, the Prophets, the Holy Scriptures, the Talmud, and the Mishnah are written in this language.

While in exile the Jews did not use Hebrew in everyday life, they only taught the Torah in it because they had fallen from the spiritual degree. Now we are reviving this language because we want to rise to the spiritual degree.

When Did the Point in the Heart Originate?

115.06Question: Can you briefly explain the benefits of egoism? How did it lead us, and to what stage did we reach where it already became poison for us? Has it been helpful all this time?

Answer: Since ancient Babylon, egoism had to be remade. Abraham called for this, but no one could hear him then because there was no point in the heart in people. It wasn’t that it didn’t wake up, it wasn’t in them. It manifested itself only in a certain number of people, in those 10,000 to 20,000 Abraham took away from Babylon.

I give such figures because the great 12th century Kabbalist and philosopher Rambam, a researcher of the era of Abraham, writes in his writings that tens of thousands of people left Babylon with Abraham.

Abraham wanted to correct everyone, but it did not work out because only a few had the primordial point in the heart, the desire to rise above the corporeal level of existence.

We can say that initially it originated in only one person, Adam, and then through him it began to spread like a virus to others. For 20 generations it reached such a state where in Babylon, under Abraham, tens of thousands of people were infected with this spiritual virus. They joined Abraham and he led them away from Babylon. The rest of the Babylonians were left without this point.

As Abraham’s group was isolated from everyone, they developed it in themselves first under his leadership and then under the leadership of Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph, and David.

This continued until the destruction of the Second Temple when they completely fell into the same state as all the other Babylonians who had spread and multiplied all over the world by that time.

The Constant Growth of Egoism

115.06The three developmental stages of the Jewish people are symbolically called the forefathers—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or the right, middle and left lines. Sometime after leaving Babylon, this society needed additional development, which can only happen when greater egoism is revealed, is corrected, and it is risen above even more.

In the past, Abraham pondered how the absolute quality of love and bestowal could be reached. Later, he revealed this problem and found the solution: there needs to be a constant growth of egoism above which his group, this small nation, will keep rising.

Therefore, the next stage of development required an increase in egoism within this group and the revelation of its second stage (the first was revealed in Babylon), over which they needed to rise.

But it is not that simple. At first, egoism grows and everyone takes it well, falls into it, and begins to work with it. That is, all kinds of selfish motives dominate, influence, and subdue people. They try to rise above them by adhering to the same methodology, the ideology of Abraham, to unite and care for each other rather than for themselves, as much as possible.

The Torah (Bible) mentions this struggle, about the nation going through the Egyptian states, how they fought among themselves and together against their ego, against the Pharaoh, the new level of egoism that continually broke out between them.

Abraham’s group was in Egypt for 210 years. This is a conditional measurement of units of time, just like the four stages of direct light at the foundation for the four-letter name of the Creator, that is, a formula in which there are always four components of successively developing stages.

Therefore, the egoism that manifested in them consisted of four stages, and the time of the Egyptian exile it was called 400 years. In fact, it lasted 210 years (conventional units), and the remaining exiles fell to 190 years.
