Question: Kabbalists take texts from the Torah, explain them, comment on them, and then say that this is Kabbalah. Is there a difference between the Torah and Kabbalah?

Answer: The Torah is Kabbalah. In Hebrew Kabbalah is called “Torah Emet,” that is, the “true Torah.” It talks about the inner meaning of what the Torah describes in an allegorical language.

In the “Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Baal HaSulam writes that Kabbalists had no other way to explain the structure of the upper world other than by using the language of this world. In fact, the Torah is not written about our world but only about the interactions of forces and qualities of the spiritual world.

Question: What came first Kabbalah or the Torah? What is the difference between them?

Answer: The Torah was written nearly 3,000 years ago and Kabbalah, the science of the control system of our world, appeared much earlier.

Question: In the developing society that is beginning to understand nature, will there be “a mother’s voice” warning about dangers?

Answer: Our inner voice will sound in us because we will feel everything through our connection.

This is not intuition, but attainment and revelation because we build a system between us that is similar to the governing force, and therefore, we reveal it within our system to such an extent that we come into contact with it.

This contact is mutual and constantly progressing. We see, feel, and understand everything we need. It is our mother, teacher, nanny—our everything. Through our system of connection, we influence the upper force that governs the universe and manifests itself in the connection between us.

Here we enter into completely different relationships: more real, more mature, and more internal. We begin to study the laws of commutation, the laws of behavior, and the laws of connection.

This is the most fascinating work because a person begins to create a totally new world. Moreover, he controls himself and society in alliance with the upper force until all of humanity comes to such a state.

Question: Does a person’s quality of a conscience indicate that he or she has been corrected to some degree?

Answer: From the point of view of the wisdom of Kabbalah, there is no conscience. Everything is built only on shame. When we say: “Where is your conscience?”, in fact, we want to say: “Aren’t you ashamed?”

Question: How should I respond to the fact that in most cases it is specifically people who are close to us that hurt and cause us pain? How does one overcome strong emotions? Should I be offended as a response?

Answer: We should focus on the Creator. Nobody is causing us pain except the Creator, and He acts through those who are close to us.

Question: What is the most important property for spiritual advancement?

Answer: The most important property for spiritual advancement is perseverance and patience.

Question: How do you deal with changes in mood?

Answer: I hold onto the only goal in life: not losing connection with the Creator. Therefore, I appreciate all my states and moods as a greater development around this connection.

Question: Do emotions depend on spiritual descents and ascents?

Answer: Spiritual descents and ascents help shape our emotions correctly. After all, if I feel bitterness and weakness during a descent, I simultaneously feel happiness because from the descent I already feel a taste of the ascent that I will have. Therefore, the spiritual state influences the emotion but doesn’t form it.

Question: I am involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah and my wife is waiting for external changes to happen: for me to be more compliant, kinder, calmer. Will this happen or is my development unconnected to my external emotional state?

Answer: You can tell your wife that this will happen soon.

Remark: There are many psychologists taking our Kabbalah courses. One of the lectures is even dedicated to explaining the difference between Kabbalah and psychology because it is not readily apparent.

My Comment: Psychology deals with a person’s behavior—with an egoistic being of our world. It studies the ways he reacts to things that happen to him.

Kabbalah deals with revealing who influences a person, what happens to him and what under influence, how he should prepare for his reaction, and so on. That is, this is a completely different level.

A Kabbalist and a psychologist have not only different goals, but also different audiences. One deals with ordinary people in our world and the other with people who study Kabbalah.

Question: Do you think that one who is attracted to common earthly psychology will not be drawn to Kabbalah?

Answer: Let him study psychology and not confuse it with Kabbalah. It will only harm him.

Question: When a person brings the Creator into his world, tries to justify Him, does it become psychologically easier for him?

Answer: If an individual begins to perceive the Creator, he discovers a completely different life: different concerns, different goals, different horizons!

There is no longer a place for psychology. The revelation of the Creator to someone in this world opens before that person eternity before him: completely different dimensions, different coordinates, different measures.

Question: Is there a correct use of the desire to nag and whine or a desire to slander?

Answer: Someone who yearns for the Creator does not have this kind of desires and actions.

Question: In your opinion, what is honesty? And why do I feel that it can already be used in the world, but I don’t see that the Partzuf Galgalta implemented it? Who else should raise MAN so that the Light of the direct path to the Creator would pass to the world of Assiya?

Answer: Honesty is gradually acquired to the measure that the egoistic deposits of one’s heart are exhumed. Each one raises MAN for the others and for the Creator.
