Question: The anniversary of the birth of the language Esperanto was celebrated recently. Esperanto was an attempt to construct a language that would unite all people. It was a great idea and a good try, but in the end, it achieved nothing. Why? It seems that the intention was correct: for all to speak the same language.

Answer: What for? It’s unnatural.

At one time, when we were closer with one another, we spoke the same language. That was in ancient Babylon. And then, with rise in mutual rejection, we suddenly started to speak in different tongues. This was the “destruction of the Tower of Babel,” when people internally stopped understanding one another.

They internally distanced themselves from each other with their different aspirations; their interconnections with each other became estranged and that’s why they stopped understanding each other to such an extent that they starting speaking different languages. All the languages of the world came from that. And that’s why they all went their separate ways. That’s how we live to this day.

Question: Then why not have a language that unites everyone? By the way, two million people speak Esperanto.

Answer: None of them speak it. These two million are spending time with each other like any other common interest group.

Nothing will come of this until people begin to feel that they should once again become one, that they have a common base, a common goal. Then they will find that is a common language that they will be able to speak.

The inner language of a person will be revealed, people will simply understand each other, even without words, internally translating the thoughts of one another. That language will definitely appear! But only after humanity decides that it wants to be united. At the root of the shattering that occurred in Babylon was egoism. If we begin to rise above it, we will once again unite in our mutual understanding of each other. No language is needed for that.

That’s why Esperanto will not give you anything. It’s that same Babylon with different languages. Out of all that same confusion they made a new “salad,” which only reminds us about the past, the shattering, and the distancing from each other.

Question: If people really want to unite, to become one whole, then the language will appear by itself?

Answer: Yes. They must concern themselves only with their spiritual, soulful, connection to each other, and then they will know in what language to communicate.

Dear Friends!

I have been running my Facebook page for years now. When I opened this page I was driven, of course, by a feeling of deep pain and compassion for all of humanity.

After all, every day our goals and desires are fading more and more; we are abandoning everything only to exist. Our hard, selfish nature confronts us and does not allow us to enjoy life in any way. We involuntarily live this short number of years, which is given to us, and no one enjoys it.

An era has come when the science of Kabbalah can be revealed to all. With its help, we can really make our lives happy, balanced, and peaceful. I see what can be achieved with the help of the hidden forces of nature, which the science of Kabbalah allows us to disclose and properly manage.

This is why I opened my Facebook page. I truly hope that it will help us all attain a good and peaceful life on the next upper level where all our wishes can actually be fulfilled by us. I wish us all success in achieving this. Get to know what the wisdom of Kabbalah has to offer humanity.

Good luck to all of us!

Question: There is usually a feeling of great emptiness that emerges after conventions. How can you prepare for it, or could it be that you shouldn’t worry about it at all?

Answer: You shouldn’t worry or think about the great emptiness since there cannot be a state of emptiness. We will keep discovering it and keep filling it over and over again.

If you are connected to other friends, you will not feel emptiness since you will constantly fill them or they will fill you. There is a cyclical flow between you in the ten so that you will never find that you are empty or full to a greater degree than you should be.

Torah, Deuteronomy 28:35: The Lord will strike you on the knees and on the legs with a terrible skin eruption from which you will be unable to be cured; [it will eventually cover you] from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

If those desires that must work for bestowal, connection, and love work for the opposite side, then you will feel leprosy in them.
The lesion of leprosy (egoism) will spread throughout the entire body of your soul. All your ten Sefirot will be damaged by all kinds of egoistic lesions so that you will not be able to feel the Creator or the Upper world and you will suffer from this.

Question: However, the sons of Israel are allowed to enter the land of Israel. So does this mean that they match this desire? And, suddenly, it is written in the Torah, “The Lord will strike you…”

Answer: Do you think that the land of Israel is a Garden of Eden (paradise) where you enter and everything is ready for you and you do not think and worry about anything anymore?

Yes, you corresponded to the entrance to this land, but there you still have a lot of work to do. There is nothing more dangerous than to be in the land of Israel when you must alter all the desires for bestowal and love.

Previously, these desires were on a lower level and, therefore, it was enough to have had a neutral attitude toward each other, which is called “Forty years of wandering in the desert.” These are the same desires you had previously in Egypt during the four hundred years of Egyptian slavery and you—being in all kinds of egoistic relationships—could not get rid of them and suffered greatly, realizing that they are scary, nasty, and terrible.

Now you must correct them for the sake of bestowal and love and this is the highest and most difficult form of correction. Therefore, the entrance to the land of Israel—that is to the state in which a person has ascended to this spiritual level—involves very complex and responsible work.

This includes constant, moment to moment problems that you must solve within yourself, generating love for others from within yourself. This is the only way to be in the land of Israel because it demonstrates the ever-increasing similarity to the Creator, to the force of bestowal and love.

Question: Are the “boundaries” of Israel known? Can I know how long I will suffer or for how long I will have to work on my egoism?

Answer: This is one hundred percent known!

It is written that you are leading the land of Israel according to a certain parameters and these parameters expand more and more until the entire globe is covered. In other words, all the desires of humanity must be converted to the quality of bestowal and love for each other. Absolute love represents the end of universal correction.

If you do not do this, you will be struck by leprosy. Sometimes such a lesion is even necessary for you to see and correct it. After all, there are desires that can be corrected without exposing their full egoistic essence and there are such desires that you obliged to unfold in their full, egoistic, stinking state; they can be corrected only when you see to what extent they devour you.

Question: Why is it written, “The Lord will strike you on the knees and on the legs with a terrible skin eruption from which you will be unable to be cured”?

Answer: These are the degrees of the soul: NHY, HGT and HBD. You will feel as if small worms are crawling on you that eat your flesh and then gnaw on your bones; your flesh gradually disappears and nothing remains of you. You will have these spiritual torments until you will be able to turn them into the quality of bestowal and love.

Question: How is The Book of Zohar organized?

Answer: The Book of Zohar is a commentary on the five books of the Torah and is divided according to the sections of the Torah. There are many parts of The Book including the preface.

The Torah describes the states of the upper spiritual worlds. The Book of Zohar describes the same thing, but in commentary closer to Kabbalists. It opens everything to a person.

The Torah is not intended to reveal the upper world to a person; it is simply a record of spiritual states. The Book of Zohar helps a person attain the upper world.

The Torah is a book that tells about all the depths of the management of our world, that is, the upper world, in all its details. And The Book of Zohar is a commentary, which explains what is written in the Torah but in an allegorical way. Therefore, only a Kabbalist can understand it.

But still it is closer to a person, and thanks to it we begin to realize what is said in the Torah itself.

“The Preface to The Book of Zohar” is a volume that describes the basic control system of our world. It is a collection of articles, each of which describes a certain control system, a specific node, a control unit, for our world. The Book of Zohar includes some other articles, such as “Idra Raba” and “Idra Zuta,” which express more internal depths of the system.

It is similar in our world. If we study some part of a car, the power system, for example. We study the carburetor, how it prepares the mixture for combustion in the engine, etc. That is, the work of a particular system is allocated in separate blocks. The same is true of the articles in The Book of Zohar: “Idra Raba,” Idra Zuta,” and “Safra de Tzniuta.”

Question: What is unification? Is it a result or a process?

Answer: Unification is a gradual process in which we unite our yearnings for the upper world, for the Creator, for the connection between us above our egoism. It is the unification of our points in the heart in the aspiration for the Creator in spite of the egoism.

Torah, Deuteronomy 28:30: You will betroth a woman, but another man will lie with her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not redeem it [its fruits].

This is about the connection of Zeir Anpin and Nukva.

When Zeir Anpin and Nukva, the male and female parts, fit each other, being in the quality of bestowal, there is a correct connection between them and their progeny are new-born souls.

If Zeir Anpin cannot perform the correct conjugation with Nukva, then wrong progeny are born called “sea devils,” “ghouls,” “devils”—small nasty qualities of a man in this world.

These include envy, jealousy, deception, and meanness—anything directed to the detriment of others. All desires that harm others are generated precisely by the wrong connections of Zeir Anpin and Malchut, which pull a person down because he must work for them.

Question: It is written: “But another man will lie with her.” That is, the desire will still be corrected?

Answer: Yes, but it will be corrected by another force, another intention, and it will rise due to its connection with the correct Zeir Anpin.

And the bad consequences mentioned above arise precisely because you wanted to deal with it. In other words, those parts of Zeir Anpin that will make a wrong connection with Malchut will create souls with all kinds of flaws.
