Question: We feel or try to feel what the Creator can do, we observe and analyze it. But what can the created being do? What does a Kabbalist feel when he can actually do something if he can do something at all?

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah is the method of attaining the properties of the Creator by a person while still living in this world. One can be like the Creator to the extent that one attains the upper properties. This is what he can do. But it is his business whether he can do so. It depends on how much he devotes himself to it.

Question: What is the concept: “inner woman” in Kabbalah, and how can I use it?

Answer: It is your inner egoistic desire, which has been partially corrected. The altruistic part of this desire is called your “inner woman.”

Question: There is a statement in one of your articles: “Our egoistic desire is greater than our ego, greater than pride. After all, if it were the other way around, we would break and shatter to death, but we would not bow.” How is a desire different from the ego? Why is it greater and how does this save us from total shattering?

Answer: The desire to enjoy for my own sake is called the ego. This is our whole nature. Absolutely. There is nothing else in us. Only the desire to enjoy everything we can imagine as a source of pleasure.

Question: I am greatly confused about the mutual connection between the person and the Creator. It seems like some medieval religion.

Answer: It is not religion. The Creator is the general force of nature in which we exist, and it includes all physical, chemical, and all the other laws.

After the point in the heart has been opened in a person, and he does not leave it even if it is black and there is no light in it, no filling, one realizes that it speaks about something higher than this world. One believes that it is better to be in this state of uncertainty and depression than in the animalistic state of our world.

And he begins to pay attention to his spiritual development. The black point gradually develops all kinds of movements in him in one direction or another. That is, a person rushes toward spirituality, then somehow falls behind, trying to approach this either from a scientific, mystical, or emotional point of view.

In general, he does everything that the great Kabbalists Baal HaSulam and Rabash advise: he reads a lot, he studies, he engages. But still, he is moving forward very slowly, almost without changes.

This is a process of internal accumulation of information, sensations, which is still unclear to us. After all, the way the sperm enters the uterus and begins to develop in it is also completely hidden from us and only after a while it makes itself felt. The same happens to us.

The only problem is that a person’s spiritual development can take many years. Ultimately, insight, awareness, and sensation is also not his spiritual birth but only a certain stage when he feels being in the upper world but still does not understand what is happening to him.
