Question: I have found many answers to questions and an understanding and awareness of the world in Jungian psychology. Is there a connection between the wisdom of Kabbalah and psychology?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah and materialistic psychology are closely linked. But the idea is that psychology is involved with investigating the psychology of an animal called the “human.”

For every beast—a horse, an ape or an elephant—has its own behavioral psychology and so forth. So it is possible to learn the psychology of the human as a beast through the works of Jung and the rest of the scientists, because they investigate ordinary human nature.

But if you want to learn the psychology of the soul, then ordinary psychology won’t help you; it won’t be enough. Scientific psychologists cannot investigate it because they haven’t attained their own soul. Here the wisdom of Kabbalah is required.

Those who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah are people who feel that they must attain the meaning of life. But if ordinary psychology is enough for you, be involved with that; that’s your business.

The wisdom of Kabbalah is required for someone who cannot live without a clear answer to the question: “What am living for?”  But if this question doesn’t burn in you, then you can be involved with whatever you want. We don’t invite people who are involved with something else to us.

If we are talking about human behavior in our world, then this is ordinary materialistic psychology. It is correct and justified in the framework of our daily behavior and it investigates people and society with the help of our materialistic characteristics, and after that it is recorded and compiled into an entire method.

But if we want to investigate human behavior that rises above its egoistic characteristics, then psychology becomes the wisdom of Kabbalah there, because a person must change receptive characteristics into the characteristics of bestowal, transforming egoism into altruism, feeling himself exiting the egoistic body. And if he investigates these states and records them, then for him the result is a psychology called the “wisdom of Kabbalah.”

He will record this in the form of Aviut (the depth of the desire), Sefirot, worlds, and levels. Precise knowledge will appear in him about how his actions change according to his ascent above the ego, from connection with others and so forth. This will be a science based upon a revision, a precise perception of reality. Everything that we investigate in ordinary science we can investigate in this higher psychology called the “wisdom of Kabbalah.”

But the wisdom of Kabbalah is not at all involved with the behavior of an ordinary person in our world. Materialistic psychology is involved with this. That is its use. Before a person discovers the upper world, where he feels his altruistic desire, we are dealing with psychology.

And from that moment on, we are involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah. So Jung and all the rest of the psychologists were interested only in the level of our world. And they don’t exist above it.

The Torah, “Leviticus,” 20:11: And a man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon themselves.

This speaks about the higher degree versus the lower degree.

There is a special combinatorics between a father and a mother that is, among all the men who are at the highest level next to the father, and all women who are at the same level next to the mother. There is only one type of communication here: father, mother, and me. I will not be able to go up to the next level in any other way.

I cannot be in contact with either the left (female) or the right (male) part of the higher degree if they do not correlate to me. In this case, between the higher degree and mine there will be no regular communication, and without it the Light will not work.

Therefore, the prohibitions of the Torah are presented categorically, because if I wrongfully use the degree I am at now, although I have achieved it with a great difficulty, I will lose it. Therefore, there is a general rule: “It is preferred to sit and do nothing than to do something wrong.”

Question: In the spiritual world, all communications that do not give rise to the next level are forbidden. What does “forbidden” mean?

Answer: This is a ban for the wrong contact with the higher degree. If you are at the point at which you begin the contact, if you want to climb one degree higher to attain the Creator, every time you attain Him deeper and deeper, such a descent eventually lowers you.

This is similar to a child’s game when by advancing the chip you move towards the finish line and suddenly you are thrown backward.

Question: If we speak about the connection of the levels of the upper, the middle, and the lower, then the upper is the teacher, the middle is us, and the lower is the 99% of humanity. Sometimes we manage to feel the unity between us and sometimes we don’t. How can we constantly hold on to the point of unity in order to convey the importance of unity to the people?

Answer: In the articles of Rabash it states that the friends should gather and speak about the greatness of the Creator and the greatness of the teacher. Of course, neither the Creator nor the teacher needs that, but it is necessary in order to raise the students.

If we raise those through whom we receive the Light, we thus connect to the upper source and begin to receive bestowal from Him. Then the understanding of unity and the connection with the upper source are revealed among us.

When we go out to the external circles, the feelings and understandings of this unity and the connection with the upper are conveyed to them.

Just like children who learn many things from their parents, whether they want to or not, and imitate them in different ways like their characteristic behaviors and habits, and their positive and negative responses, so will the external circles receive our feeling of unity and connection to the upper source. This happens in a natural manner.

The wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t speak about anything that is supernatural, but only about how to learn to be one whole in order to be in harmony with the still, vegetative, and animate levels, to learn from nature, which is what everyone is calling for today.

People used to believe that we had to conquer nature, that we are above nature and smarter than nature. Now everyone is beginning to understand how stupid and much more limited we are than nature. Nature is perfect!

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how to learn from nature and how to reach a state in which we will discover its total integrality, the deep and total mutual connection. If we attain that, the masses will also accept it and perceive it since our thoughts and feelings will flow unto them. They will begin to think like us and also perceive everything as we do.

Why is it that what people think that whatever happens on one side of the world is suddenly understood on the other side? It is because we are all mutually connected.

Therefore, when we go out to people and connect to them, the direct mutual connection works. We will perceive their different yearnings and they will perceive ours. Their shattered yearnings and their egoistic desires will force us to yearn for unity in order to correct them. Our unity and connection to the upper will help them perceive it and focus themselves in that direction for correction.

What Determines The Effectiveness Of Dissemination?

In the News (from Svit): “Altruism is not an innate quality, but is instilled by society similarly to egoism. Therefore, it is in the hands of society what values are to be instilled in a person.

“Leading scientists have come to the conclusion that people’s predisposition to altruism is formed as a result of human interaction with society.

“Willingness to help each other is not innate. A child constructs his behavior due to communication and interaction with others. Thus, the desire to help is not caused by genetics.

My Comment: Of course, they do not mean true altruism, but just the egoistic one, our natural one. True altruism can be manifested in us only under the influence of the Upper Light, Ohr Makif and in it we will feel the upper force of bestowal and love, called the Creator.

In the spiritual world there are no lines, no forms, no bodies, nothing. The spiritual world is a world of two forces: reception and bestowal, and there is nothing except them. There are no distances in the spiritual world; it does not require volume in contrast to our world, our universe.

After all, before the Big Bang, due to which our universe was formed, these two forces had to create a space, in which a spark of higher energy broke through, and a new creation—forces, planets, galaxies—began to emerge.

Therefore, the material world requires space, a place. We cannot imagine what it is out of space; we live in it. Moreover, our space is three-dimensional, and we are not able to navigate without these three axes.

Our problem is that we exist in a very clear, understandable world in which everything is visibly defined; everything has its place, and we know how much it takes.

This does not exist in the spiritual world. The spiritual world is the world of forces, the world of properties: reception and bestowal, and only these two forces act in it.

Question: But where is this spiritual world?

Answer: There is no such question as “Where is it?” After all, in order to answer where, we need to point out the place, but it does not exist.

The Media as a Tool of Separation

In our days, society and power are completely separated from each other as between them lie the media that for huge sums of money turns the election process into a farce.

Modern means of communication do not fulfill their purpose. They need to connect people: parents with each other, parents with children, children with each other, men, women, men and women, people and the government, and so on. The media should provide all of these forms of communication between us.

Otherwise, what are they for? Where do they gather information? How do they process it? How do they present it? Where are the people who must stand guard over the common good? They are not there; entirely different interests drive the editorial offices.

We treat the media too lightly. On the one hand, we disrespect and ridicule it, and, on the other hand, despite all the scorn, cannot escape its influence. No matter how much we despise it, in the end, they laugh last, laugh in our faces and do whatever they want.

Money Decides Everything

Question: How could we allow them to do this? How did we provide such opportunities?

Answer: It is money. Once, the newspaper belonged to a man with a certain ideology, versed and educated, but then the situation changed. Now, if I have enough money, I publish a newspaper, buy a television channel, or a radio station, I have content managers, and, in the end, open a studio in Hollywood. In a word, I begin to stuff the world with what works for me. Moreover, I wrap my message in such a wrapper so that no one could even identify me.

This applies to politics. The media serves those who pay. It all depends on money without any connection with ideology. Of course, these sites—which are associated with, let’s say, the “left” views—cannot immediately jump to the other end of the spectrum, and that is why every leader who wants to influence public opinion chooses what fits him best. Moreover, it is not really a secret about which news channel serves whom.

Undoubtedly, leaders build everything on the principle of grand brainwashing of the masses. In fact, the media lives on this. Despite the rant about democracy, the people affect nothing. People vote for what they were persuaded to vote for.

Learning Unity

Question: How do you turn the media from the factor that separates the government and people into the connecting factor?

Answer: The problem is that there is no one to connect. Everyone is ill: the people, leaders, and the media.

So, first, you need to run an education program for the media at all levels to teach people an objective approach and introduce them to the correct values, independent of affiliation with various parties and politicians.

We need higher values of unity, universal connection. When people understand that this is their salvation—that it should be the goal to which the leaders take them—then we can organize a discussion. Let all the key leaders sit down in front of us and talk about their platforms, and we will ask them clarifying questions and make our choice.

In fact, we do not need one person at the top of the power pyramid, but a “council of wise men” similar to the Sanhedrin, those who care about the people’s welfare and, above all, about unity, which requires appropriate education through which we will become the true people of Israel. After all, without unity, we are not the people.

Then, together, we will see that this unity is enough to correct all of our problems.

The Unity of the People and Authorities

Question: Why is it a council of wise men and not a wise king?

Answer: For us, a council is better because we will not find a person capable of taking this role. We need a group, a team, a meeting like the Sanhedrin, where, in contrast to the Kinesset, they do squabble among themselves, but come to an agreement.

If you act on the basis of the principles laid down in the foundation of the people of Israel, we would be able to revive true management. When everyone understands that the goal is to love others as oneself and that all steps should only lead to this, then there will be a unity of educated people and those wise men that they chose.

In other words, wise men must grow out of the people, not out of a corrupt political system. They must be connected with the people, go to the people. Their entire work, in essence, is an educational activity.

Question: How does the relationship between society and the authorities look?

Answer: They are a single entity, acting as the “head” and the “body.” The people are conscious that the leadership of the sages leads them in a correct good direction, takes care of them, trains them, and provides them with tools and principles that allow them to settle down in the family, with children, at work, and everywhere. People grow and rise from day to day in the understanding of values and their responsibilities, in good relationships. The people become united.

Question: Is this possible?

Answer: It is necessary. This is written in our primary sources. We see this in the studies of the laws of nature. So, we certainly can and must come to this.

Comment: The method of correcting the relationships between people, which is the remedy for every illness, nullifies all of modern medicine.

My Comment: But we don’t need it either. The current health care system doesn’t care about a person, but only about itself. The media conveys information that arouses fear, and no one cares about people.

What is the actual problem? Humanity has long reached such a level in its development that it can fully provide for all its needs. This was true in the 70s of the last century, but everything has come to a halt since the questions of “What’s next?” and “Why should we go on living?” have come up.

But man didn’t think about that and new problems have to be created in order to make it will be clear that we live in order to solve them. Otherwise such questions will come up and will make both the elite and our leaders feel bad.

Thus everything began to revolve around creating different imaginary needs, and health issues are not imaginary at all. Consequently, medicine has gradually reestablished itself by creating new symptoms, so that by using medicines that help heal certain symptoms, people will stay busy spending money on medicines and traveling from place to place in order to seek treatment, etc.

Question: Was this scenario laid in advance? Did people consciously examine this option in advance?

Answer: Of course. We can see advertising on TV for products that are 99% absolutely unnecessary. We have no need even for the one percent that is left, but we only think that we need them. After all, we have become used to advertising, are nourished by it, and the ideas it sells us have already become an inherent need. Therefore, we look for what else we can buy. We cannot manage without these things anymore, just like a drug addict who cannot manage without drugs. We are used to being obliged to watch commercials and implement what they advertise.

A few years ago I was in the hospital after a car accident and I saw how patients behave. One of them constantly spoke to the doctors like they were old friends. When I asked him why he spoke to them that way he answered proudly that he had had 12 operations. It is as if he wanted to say, “Look I am your loyal patient, I am yours!” and subconsciously, they treated him as if he was one of theirs—”He is one of ours!”

This means that it reached the state that they were making a living off one another. It is just like cops and robbers who cannot manage without each other. The police have to solve crimes or conspiracies and therefore cooperate with the mafia so that it will give them some clues or sacrifice one of its accomplices. The police arrest the victim and present it as their achievement, but usually it is the mafia that gives them the lead.

It is the same here. It has become a custom, and it is very interesting to observe the beautiful work of the ego from the outside.

Society imposes its values on us and feeds us these values as if they are a business dinner. They teach us to love, have children, raise them, build, play societal games, consume certain medicines and to be connected in a certain manner. It is all based on the notion of how to fill our day with worries, work, tasks, and not allow us time to think about the meaning of life.

But humanity has already developed to the point where this issue becomes vital. In order to make sure that we don’t engage in it, the authorities have denied us of all our free time, down to the very last moment.

The point is that the question about the meaning of life is much greater. If a person doesn’t find this answer, he becomes so depressed that he cannot overcome it. He doesn’t feel pleasure in anything: not in food, sex, family, his children, in nothing. Therefore the elite suppresses this question.

But the time has come to reveal the meaning of life to the masses. On one hand, it is as if we are playing on the edge. But on the other hand, we say nice things such as, “Let’s live in unity, let’s begin to love one another so that everything will be good.”

The wisdom of Kabbalah is not intended to arouse revolutionary passions in any one, neither in the elite nor in ordinary people. It doesn’t call people to fight but offers to make a soft revolution in a peaceful manner. This is the true spring, when after the long frost, after the inner emptiness, the gradual return to life begins.

Question: Will the elite agree to that?

Answer: The leaders will also change along with the masses, since we all change together. They will begin to realize that, first of all, the environmental situation doesn’t allow us to remain on the same level. We can see what is happening to us.

Disrupting the ecological balance involves a much greater imbalance of the whole earth. No one knows how many billions of dollars have been invested this year and are still being invested in order to overcome the environmental disasters all over the world.

Along with ecological and climate problems, we will also encounter nutritional problems since we have polluted the soil even at the level of thoughts and feelings. But when the authorities begin to change, they will see that everthing has a limit and it is nature that limits us.

They will realize that we have to acquire a totally new perception, and instead of money that has lost its value, a new coin will appear that is related to the communication between people.

Money is a method of connection that emphasizes how much greater you are and how small I am compared to you, and how we can satisfy each other’s needs. In Hebrew the word “money” (Kesef) stems from the word “cover” (Masach), which means that I cover the difference between us.

New methods of communication between people will emerge instead of relationships that are based on money. They will become popular, because society itself will begin to change. If it were only the environment that changed, we would still remain the same puppets and the authorities would continue to endlessly play with us. But because everyone will change, the perception will also change, and the authorities will operate in a totally different manner.

I believe that this will happen in the near future and I hope to see at least the beginning of this change. This is what I am living for.

We assist in the hastening of time. Our ideas automatically flow into society since we are an integral part of it. Accordingly we hasten the development of the elite as well.
