Question: What is the upper, absolute, force of nature that is controlling all creation? In what way is it different from the basic forces of nature that are known to science: gravity, nuclear, and electromagnetic?

Answer: All other forces that humanity discovered by means of intellect exist on the same level as the intellect where we also exist and study them. If we developed in a different form and on a different level, then we would have discovered different forces and a different world.

The difference between all of these forces and the upper force of nature is in the subjectivity of our perception of them. Everything depends on the individual, on the level from which he investigates and comprehends. Without the individual, there’s nothing and it is impossible to say that anything actually exists.

Question: But what if we are to look at it not subjectively, but objectively?

Answer: That’s impossible; we are incapable of objective observation because we were created with specific qualities by the upper force. If I am not observing some phenomena, then it does not exist. It appears only in my perception and in the form that I am able to perceive.

Question: Then what actually exists?

Answer: Nothing exists other than the single upper force that is the foundation of all nature. But we are only able to perceive this force as various forms and different qualities, depending on the form and qualities I create.

Question: So we perceive this one single force in the form of some fragments, depending on the level of our development? Will this perception change in the future?

Answer: Everything depends on the individual because the world exists within his perceptions, and other than him there is only one upper force, called nature, creating our entire life. All revelations exist within us as effects of this one force.

Everything that I see, sense, think, everything within and around me, all my emotions and reason, all these are revelations of the upper force. A person is given the ability to separate from this force and in that separation experience himself existing in a particular reality that we call this world.

Question: What is the quality of this single force?

Answer: Its only quality is bestowal, giving, emanation, a source that constantly gives, gives, gives… That is how we experience it. We do not reveal the force itself, rather its relationship to us, its bestowal.

And we realize that with the very first act of bestowal, this upper force created the ability within us to feel its influence and to differentiate between it and ourselves, experiencing ourselves as existing outside of it. This specific differentiation is what allows us to experience our own existence and a reality surrounding us.

Question: Will perfect children be born when humanity gets rid of egoism and becomes perfect?

Answer: Yes, absolutely perfect. The world will become a living world, everyone will do good unto each other, and there will be no evil.

Question: Will the words from Isaiah’s prophecy: “And a wolf shall live with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie with a kid; and a calf and a lion cub and a fatling [shall lie] together, and a small child shall lead them” come true?

Answer: If egoism is fully corrected, how can one harm another?

Question: What will the wolf eat? What will satiate it?

Answer: Bestowing unto others, it will not need any other food.

When the world gradually reaches the end of correction, the details will begin to disappear from our feeling. The levels of the still, vegetative, and animate nature, and man will transcend to a non-material level; because the ego will not be able to exist the way it does anymore, there will be no matter.

Matter is merely an emotional illusion that we are given so that we will do our job and return to the altruistic attitude, to the attribute of love and bestowal.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that there are 10% of altruists in the world. If the Creator created the ego, have these altruists been created in order to set an example?

Answer: In spirituality, 10% of altruists (in relation to the tenth part of the Partzuf) sustain the world. In our world, we need the same thing. If the world were made of 100% egoists, it could not exist.

There must be altruistic egoism, even with the intention for my own sake, in order to dilute this world a bit.

Torah, Deuteronomy 27:17: Cursed be he who moves back his neighbor’s landmark. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

“Moves back his neighbor’s landmark” means to steal from the other person what was allotted to him from above and to use this to work on himself. By this, you steal from him a chance to correct his soul; you somehow obscure this possibility, do not give enough, do not direct him properly and do not participate together with him in his own action of correction.

Such a state is called a curse. It is as if a person strikes his own soul with a terrible ulcer. That is, all those desires and aspirations that he must create in himself to become like the Creator, he partially transforms into qualities that are opposite to the Creator for the sake of petty egoistic gain, and he cannot do anything with himself.

Usually, this is a consequence of his wrong connection with the environment. After all, only in the environment can he find the force that will help him to resist all the temptations supplied to him by the Creator.

He, on the contrary, cuts off an opportunity for mutual connection with others instead of helping them to not cut off “spikelets from the edge of the field.”

There are many different conditions in which a person—by supposedly doing good for another—actually does him bad.
We see that most of the Torah laws seem in our world to be not quite fair, to put it mildly. And this is really so.

For example, many people oppose the fattening and the slaughtering of livestock that we do in order to provide us with meat, food, furs, and various products from animal skin. They believe that humans should not do this. We gained power over animals, in the form of reason, not in order to use them this way.

However, the Torah speaks about totally different things: It says that, precisely by developing animals, raising them, caring for them, fattening them, killing them properly, and then cutting and using them, we elevate their purpose to be for the sake of the development of man. This is the same thing that each of us should do to the animal that lives within us: develop it correctly, grow it, and kill it within yourself in order to be able to feed man.

You should act this way with animals outside of you as well as with your own animal that is within you.

Question: It is said that everything is created for a person. Does this mean that a man is like a “crown of nature”?

Answer: Yes, if he behaves correctly, he can use this to grow a man or Adam (meaning similar to the Creator) from himself. If he cannot do this, he is even worse than an animal. If people had studied the laws of nature correctly, they would have seen that kosher cattle slaughter is the most correct way. We just need to look at this objectively.

Question: What is “love of your neighbor” for the person of the last generation?

Answer: This is an absolute realization of oneself, which consists of loving one’s neighbor and acting only for his benefit by revealing the desires of the other and fulfilling them through your efforts.

The real realization of a person is a state passed through filters, which is absolutely opposite to the present one. We will be in adhesion with the Creator in accordance to this.

Question: Does a person, while being realized through his neighbor, find in himself some additional incentives? What does he discover in himself?

Answer: Infinity.

Through realizing myself for the sake of my neighbor, I reveal the infinite opportunities to give and to fulfill! In this sense I gain infinite states, because I am in all others and the entire world is in me.

Question: What is this force that compels the development of the entire world: all of nature and humanity?

Answer: We exist within a force field called nature, which includes within it a multitude of various forces. We divide this force into levels: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human, or according to the scientific approach used to study it: physics, chemistry, biology, etc. We define it, according to the trajectory of our development, as a cause and effect relationship.

Within this field there are areas that are completely unknown and incomprehensible to us. All of nature is a single force. The further we advance in our understanding of reality and the deeper we investigate nature, the more we are convinced that it is a single force.

Our perception becomes increasingly more integrated and global; we already understand that there is no separation between physics, chemistry, biology, and zoology; rather, each is an aspect of a single form. It is only due to the limitations of our perception that we are able to tune into a single reality that appears to us in the form of separate fragments. We are simply not able to see all of creation in the form of one picture, one force.

But gradually, according to the degree of our development, we begin to understand that this is actually a single picture, a single force, within which we exist. And this force develops us and gives us the possibility to get to know it. This force called nature, as if it itself, wants us to recognize it.

A person studies nature with his own abilities given to him from birth, and that is why, of course, he is limited by time, movement, space, and his own perceptions. He is not capable of clearing his brain and reprogramming it anew. This is because humanity is the result of a lengthy evolutionary process, which took place under the influences of various activities and forces extending over billions of years.

A person is a result of the development of nature. And that is why a question arises: being that man is an inseparable, integral part of nature, is he able to study it? Because in order to do this, it is necessary to rise above nature.

Only recently, on the cutting edge of science, we have begun to understand that time and space are relative, that instead of matter, there can be energy. But energy is something that disappears, which means that matter too can disappear.

It turns out that all the endless tons of matter that we see in the universe is not matter but energy, that is, something ephemeral and disappearing. In essence, our universe is empty!

Furthermore, cause and effect can change places, and that which seemed to us as being the cause, can be discovered to be the effect, and vice versa. It is possible that the event that needs to occur now, produces the cause for itself, and not the cause producing the event.

There is a phenomenon described in quantum physics where particles that are separated from each other by cosmic differences are observed to be connected to each other. And if one of the particles spins in a particular way, then the other particle, that is billions of miles away, spins the same way. And it’s not that one particle mimics the actions of the other, rather the two of them are bound together. Neither one of them is the cause nor the effect, but everything is a unified whole and is in such a form that we are unable to conceptualize it with our intellect because our intellect is so extraordinarily limited. It turns out that because of this, all of our investigation of nature is extremely limited.

Question: Do we have to admit that there is a great deal we don’t know?

Answer: We know almost nothing! Since our perception of mathematics and physics is also the result of the way we are made. And if we were made differently, we would have a different sort of mathematics and 1 + 1 would not equal two.

It is only an assumption that 1+1=2. If we replaced our sensory organs, then we would see a different reality. All of nature surrounding us would seem completely different.

But the force that develops nature can be accepted as absolute, existing outside of us. This force created nature and us in such a form that enables us to study part of nature, to a limited degree. And if we actually want to study nature, then we must rise to the level of this force, for which it is necessary to acquire new abilities.
