Question: Unreasonable hatred and absolute love can arise between people without any physical contact with each other. Why?
Answer: The fact is that we love or hate because we have all sorts of limitations, the so-called Reshimot (information records).
We were taught that this is good and this is bad, habits and tastes were instilled in us, and on the basis of these factors, we either attract or repel one another. That is why there are such misunderstandings between us.
Question: Many people with whom I talk about love immediately become nervous and irritated. Like how much can you talk about this?! Love and unification are mantras and meanwhile the world is getting worse. All talk and no action.
On the other hand, according to Kabbalah, love is the law. But I’m not nervous when I feel the impact of the law of gravity on me. Yes, it does bother me since I want to fly and I cannot.
How can one explain or prove that love is the law? Will it ever be possible to do so?
Answer: It is not so difficult to prove that love is a law of nature. We see that everything is born and exists through love. But love cannot be without hatred because it must manifest itself over something else; we must feel it relative to something else. Therefore, in nature there are always two opposite concepts which complement and indicate each other.

Question: There are two forces in nature. They can be called love and hatred, good and evil, plus and minus, forces of attraction and repulsion. It is the balance between them that creates harmony. Can you say that love means harmony between two forces?
Answer: It means mutual complementing. A person should simply see for himself that if he loves someone, he wants to give him what he wants, from which he will rejoice. And vice-versa.
Question: You very often use the words “connection” and “love,” and you never get tired of it. Do you feel something different every time?
Answer: Yes. There are new shades every time. Saying the word “love,” I always feel a new fulfillment.
Question: How can we learn this?
Answer: Only through feelings. I have already said that love and hatred are sensory concepts that are not used in Kabbalah. Kabbalah is a science that operates with clear physical definitions.
Love is the force of attraction, hate is the force of rejection. And it can be measured.

Question: In the Kabbalistic practice all spiritual states are accompanied by disturbances. What kind of disturbances can there be and how do we use them for spiritual growth?
Answer: Our life consists of questions and answers. This is how we and almost all of nature are controlled from above.
But inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature is always presented with questions that are automatically answered. Thus, all of nature, except man, is governed by instinct.
While a person exists between plus and minus, questions and answers, he has his own interference in them and the need to scrutinize them. He must understand what kind of a question arises in him every time, relate it to nature, the Creator, and try to find the right answer.
If he positions himself in this way all the time, then he has the right attitude toward his life, to nature, and to the Creator. As a result, he makes it clear that any questions arise in him only for his advancement, attainment, and feeling of an ever-increasing understanding of the world.
All our lives we move in this way: plus-minus, left-right, etc. This is how nature influences us. Therefore, we should look at all the alleged obstacles that arise not as obstacles, but as auxiliary conditions by which we can further develop and elevate.

Question: When the Creator is revealed to me and I justify Him, relative to what does He appear?
Answer: He appears depending on how I feel in all my properties. I sense in them the right direction, the right pairing, the right movement toward a single, whole, absolutely good state.
Question: How can I tell if I’m not in an illusion? Maybe it just seems to me that I am justifying Him?
Answer: It emanates precisely when I must combine darkness and light, bad and good states, justify bad states and take strength from good states, I move forward in the middle line, not in darkness nor in light, but in the middle by connecting one line to the other. From them, I build my state.
That is, I build my relationship with the Creator so as to always be in a state when both darkness and light are equal for me. Thus, I have a clear reference point, direction, like a compass. If darkness and light are equal to me, then I correctly feel my state and the state of the world. And I have no problem, I know for sure that this is not an illusion.

Question: Can the wrong path affect in my feelings? For example, I am a total egoist and I don’t want to see or hear anyone. So suppose the system takes away my hearing, my ability to listen attentively, or even my sight, so that I will relate to others more attentively, read lips etc.
Answer: You don’t need to pay any attention to what the system does with you because you don’t know why all this has been prepared for you. Only later will you see that it was for your sake. You need to do everything only in order to find connection with the friends and, by studying the wisdom of Kabbalah, to reveal the upper world in this connection.
Perhaps at the moment you don’t understand how the upper world can be revealed between you, but when you begin to create the network of mutual actions between you, it will become the vessel of the soul, which means the place in which the upper light, the upper system, the upper knowledge, the upper feeling, will later be revealed.
This is how you will begin to reveal the upper world in the connection, break away from the self, and exist in the general system.

Question: There is a difference between moral principles and moral norms.
A moral norm is, for example, to give up a seat on public transport. Moral principles include humanism, altruism, collectivism, justice, mercy, peacefulness, patriotism, and tolerance.
Most people fulfill moral norms but not moral principles. Maybe this is because moral principles are less specific and everyone understands them in their own way?
Answer: Yes, they are less specific. We should learn to realize them inside ourselves by building an internal system of our thoughts and interactions. Then, we can gradually come closer to their implementation.
All sorts of norms, such as giving up your seat on public transport, have nothing to do with the correction of a person. These norms are intended to make a social product out of a person and nothing more. This is not what the science of Kabbalah implies. One follows some principles that one was taught but, at the same time, one do not correct oneself.
Question: What if it comes from love for your neighbor?
Answer: This means that it comes from selfish love for one’s neighbor. We must clearly understand the reason for our actions. Is it an attitude toward a common connection into one unified system with the comprehension of its unified higher power, or is it giving the human community a more decent look?

Question: Sufferings come because of the difference between what is desired and what we have. How can we learn to appreciate what we have correctly?
Answer: To do that, we must gradually understand what exiting yourself means.
That happens when the relation with the friend in the group becomes more important for you than the way you feel about yourself, and when your connection with him becomes more important than your personal interests.
If the connection with the friend becomes that important, it means that you rise above yourself and thus exit yourself. To that extent we can feel that the Creator is between us.
Does He exist? He certainly does, even right now! You just need to exit yourself and you will feel Him.
