Zohar for All, Shemot, Item 81: It is written: “He took those arrows and lowered them to his nostrils. Blood came out of his nostrils, implying Dinim in red color.”

Question: How should we understand those phrases: “arrows,” “blood came out of his nostrils”?

Answer: Many of the terms in The Book of Zohar sound strange to us because behind all the images of the corporeal world stand upper forces, and we name them by names of our world.

Kabbalists took the earthy language to talk about the upper forces, their states, relationships, and combinations. They have no other way to describe the upper world because there are no words there. But forces descend from there to our world and we can take names from our world to describe the forces and properties of the spiritual world.

Therefore it is allegorically said “three arrows,” “nostrils,” and so on. And immediately there is a transition to another purely Kabbalistic language: HGT de Zeir Anpin. Thus, The Book of Zohar tells us about everything in a mixture because it wants to take you out of this world so that you enter the next depiction, the spiritual world.

It is as if it places before you two screens. You automatically look at the picture that depicts some images from our world. Yet in fact, you should try through them to penetrate inside and see the combination of two forces, the bestowing one (Israel) and the receiving one (Rome), and in what position they are with each other.

When a person recognizes them correctly, he becomes the third force between them.

Comment: Speaking about the definition of consciousness, you said that it is an image of the information field that is influencing us.

My Response: Of course, after all I am a product of this field. It comes first, and I am just a derivative.

Basically, who am I? We say that everything that exists in my sensations is what I feel, and that is why it exists. Without me it would not exist because it exists only in relation to me. It turns out that the world is absolutely subjective. Thus, we talk about ourselves as being just consciousness and nothing more.

Question: Then can we say that my consciousness works against the consciousness that is represented by the information field?

Answer: In some ways, yes because, in the end, this field wants us to use the consciousness that it creates in us to interact with it correctly.

Remark: In recent years, scientists around the world have been actively studying the phenomenon of spiritual sensations.

From the point of view of neuroscience, it is related to the activity of the lower parietal lobe of the brain. All tested subgroups have a similar sign of this sensation, when in a person’s consciousness the boundary between his personality and the rest of the surrounding world is blurred and a feeling of connection with something much larger than himself arises.

My Response: Correct. On the plane of our earthly psychology, this is exactly what happens.

Question: How can we evoke spiritual sensations, something that is defined in the material world as enlightenment?

Answer: True spiritual sensations do not depend on mental, physical, or moral efforts. They depend only on the person’s interactions with those around him when he, through the direct positive influence on others, reaches the revelation of the connection with the upper force of governance. But only to the extent he is able to rise above his ego.

Question: Is the brain activated in any way in that?

Answer: No. It could be a very simple person or it could be a great sage, it does not matter.

Comment: “From what I hear from Michael Laitman, the Creator wants us to love Him. Not each other, no, but Him. This is just an excuse: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In fact, the Creator wants us to love Him. What kind of jealous Creator does Laitman have? ”

My Response: It is said that He is jealous, cruel in His jealousy. The Creator is jealous of everything that is not directed at Him. The fulfillment that comes to a person from the Creator is incomparable with anything. And if a person is distracted from this, then, of course, the Creator here expresses His jealousy.

Question: So the Creator tells us: “You have no idea how much I have prepared for you, and you are wasting your love …” So, He seems to be saying that earthly love does not exist?

Answer: It is only given to us in order to come to an unearthly love.

Question: And in order to turn us to Him, He gives us all kinds of suffering, pain, and so on?

Answer: He does not give that to us, He just shows us His love, which we reject. And we feel this love, rejected by us, as suffering. And that’s all.

Question: So only love comes from Him?

Answer: Yes. And if you reject it, you turn it into suffering.

Question: What to do? What does He call us to? We do not see Him, we do not know Him, and we do not feel Him.

Answer: It doesn’t matter. You are given the opportunity to position yourself as needed in relation to Him. There is nothing else in nature.

Question: But is it necessary or not necessary to fulfill the earthly feelings first?

Answer: They should help us to get closer to the connection between ourselves, and to organize this connection between ourselves as much as possible in the quality of bestowal and love.

Question: Is this the desire of the upper one?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And then He will stop being jealous?

Answer: There is no jealousy, this is a completely different level—the level of absolute love.
