Comment: If you read Ecclesiastes (Kohelet), then, in principle, there is nothing transcendental: time to gather stones, to cast stones…
My Response: No! Kohelet cannot be interpreted in earthly qualities.
The stone [Lev HaEven, the stony heart) is our egoism, which we cannot move. This is our most difficult desire, which we cannot cope with, and Kohelet tells us how it can be used.
In general, Kohelet is a work with the left line in our soul. The soul consists of three lines: egoistic—left, altruistic—right, and on their correct connection we build a third line—our spiritual elevation.
As a plus-minus, right-left leg, attraction-rejection – everything in nature consists of two opposites, which, when properly combined, set in motion the mechanism of our movement. Any manifestation of life is built on the comparison of two opposites over some material.
Here, basically, we mean working with the left line, with egoism, which is constantly manifested on the part of the left line of the soul. Therefore, Kohelet talks about how to work with stones, “time to cast stones and a time to gather stones.”
Question: Such a pessimistic little book?
Answer: No way! It is a joy, a great joy, when you read this book because it speaks of states in which a person can use all his negative qualities specially created in him by the Creator in order to create Evel, bestowal.
This so-called “vanity,” this quality of bestowal, must be expressed out of itself, i.e., it is these stones that are the lowest, coarsest, most inanimate desires to transform into the quality of bestowal, connections with others.
And thus, experience the entire universe in these corrected qualities until its very last, most delicate manifestation. Because the heavier the quality you have to fix, the higher the quality of bestowal rises.

Comment: We are unable to perceive whole phenomena; therefore, we do not understand what the universe, life, consciousness, or reason are. We try with our mind to break them down into some acceptable pieces and study each one separately. Thus it is difficult for science to explain a lot of things.
My Response: Science cannot have anything to do with consciousness. It uses consciousness as a given, but it cannot explore it. To do this, you need to be on a level higher than consciousness. We always use the top-down method. And how can we rise above our consciousness while in it?
Consciousness is the ability of a person to connect to the higher information layer.
Question: You said that “I” is what I feel in the semblance of an information field. That is, it seems to coincide with the definition of consciousness. What is the difference between them? What is the “I” that has consciousness? Is it a collection of my thoughts, a feeling, a sensation?
Answer: No. “I” is some kind of basis that does not disappear anywhere even with death. It goes through all the metamorphoses of our life and death cycles.
“I” is our original point in the system called Adam. Each of us has such a point, which represents our initial data, our coordinates. And we can’t get away from them, that’s how we were created.
Every person in our world has a place in the system of Adam, which exists so that we can change ourselves so that each point can connect to this higher system, to the field in which it is located, and fully comprehend it.
Question: How can we explain to a person who does not know that there is a system of Adam and in it one’s point, what is this “I”?
Answer: “I” is a part of the Creator from above.
Question: So it cannot be explained without the Creator?
Answer: The Creator is an upper force, the same field. We don’t attribute this power to some grandfather sitting somewhere. We’re talking about nature. The Creator and nature are one and the same. This is the highest consciousness, the highest thought.

Question: How should a person use his desires?
Answer: A person must understand that he applies his desires in their original egoistic form incorrectly. They are inherent in him by nature, but how to use them correctly, this he must learn.
In nature, everything is built on balance, on harmony. Everyone consumes exactly as much as they need according to the formula of balance.
If I find this formula, I will know what and how much I need to use and how I can optimally fulfill my desires.
Moreover, I will not learn from the surrounding society to chase after some kind of airy virtual values in which there is absolutely nothing valuable, but because society values them and believes that they bare fashionable, I must kill myself to achieve the same level of fashion.
When I know that I need to compare myself not with the trendsetters of fashion and other values, but I need to learn from nature what I should correspond to, then I will reach the best, most optimal, most beautiful level of existence.
In principle, we are already beginning to feel this subconsciously.
Question: But how is this possible?
Answer: Only if we discover nature and find out where these values, these laws, are in it, how we can get in touch with it and receive only good signals from it.

Question: Is there a difference between the concepts of “I” and “my consciousness”?
Answer: It depends on you: with what you identify.
Do you identify yourself with a part of the higher consciousness or just with how you feel in your mortal body? Do you identify yourself as existing in some kind of “organism,” for example, in a group? It all depends on your definition of yourself.
How else? Who will give you such a universal definition? Even if Kabbalah speaks about it, it still means nothing. The main thing is how you define yourself.
In fact, you are the highest consciousness. Moreover, you are not just a part of this consciousness because by revealing it, through it, you achieve merging with the whole consciousness, call it the Creator. This is your highest attainment, merging with it, but proceeding from an individual point, which is your “I.”
Question: And what is the individuality?
Answer: In the fact that in this case you represent what is called “Adam.” On the one hand, you comprehend the peak of possible revelation, which is no longer in nature at all. On the other hand, only you comprehend this, proceeding from your individual point.
Question: It turns out that “I” is something that includes absolutely everything, and at the same time something very individual, which no one else has?
Answer: Your individuality does not disappear anywhere. This is your primordial data from the general system.
But due to the fact that you connect with the entire system on the property of bestowal, you want to enter it, you seem to acquire the whole system. It becomes yours in individual receipt relative to your point. And it turns out that your very point, narrow, rough individuality, in fact a point, adheres with the entire system, which is infinity.

Comment: Usually Bina represents water, but you say that in a cave it represents air.
My Response: In this case, Bina is like air. We must understand that these are allegories. Many peoples still live in various caves or shelters, but this does not give them anything extra.
What is meant here is that a person consciously chooses such a state, such a model of behavior, that would raise him above egoism called earth so he would acquire the quality of altruism, the quality of bestowal, the quality of connection with others, called Bina.
A person creates such qualities in himself through his own efforts. He attracts the quality of light, of the upper world, the quality of bestowal. This, in general, is the power of the Creator, the power of Bina, with which one organizes something like a shelter in himself. Although one cannot fully ascend and move to a higher level in the spiritual world, at least in his state he creates a bubble for himself filled with a higher quality and exists in it.

Do I Exist Or Not?
The whole difference in how much we feel or do not feel the Creator is determined by how much we appreciate Him. Unlike the corporeal world, in the spiritual world there are no distances. The more important the Creator is to me, the closer He is to me. If I disrespect Him and do not want to come closer to Him in my qualities, then I do not see Him.
It turns out that to bring the most high closer or to come closer to Him, I need to change my qualities according to His qualities and begin to appreciate Him.
Yet how can I appreciate the greatness of the Creator if I cannot see Him? In nature, there are many concealed forces that we do not perceive with simple senses, but only through various devices. All modern science works in this way, by revealing phenomena that are invisible to the naked eye. They can be revealed only with the help of special devices or complex calculations.
If we discovered the world only through our natural senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—we would have remained animals. The human degree is special because we are able to discover phenomena in nature that cannot be revealed with our five senses.
This is why we discover radio waves, gravitational forces, magnetic attraction, and celestial phenomena in the universe. All this is above our sense organs.
The Creator is a force that includes all phenomena, the entire world is located inside Him. We are also inside of Him. When we say that the Creator is far away and we are coming closer to Him, these distances are only relative to attaining Him and not in the sense of distance. The Creator may feel far away or close in our attainment, but we all are inside of Him.
The Creator is the place of the world, the entire world exists inside of Him. Therefore, we only need to develop our senses in order to feel that this space; this reality in which we exist is all the Creator.
Then we will discover that there is no empty place in the world. This air around us and the cosmic vacuum beyond the Earth between the stars is not really emptiness but one continuous field of desire that fills all space, operates in everything, and fills everything. All this is the Creator.
We, who are physically weak and limited, can awaken the Creator and ask Him to reveal such senses in us that will make us equal to Him so that by adhering to Him, we also will fill all reality with our desire. After all, we want to come closer to the desire of the Creator—the desire to bestow. Then our work will end in filling the entire universe with ourselves and will be in adhesion with reality itself, which is the Creator.
This is an amazing prospect, and is worth remembering when we are overwhelmed by small, egoistic calculations.

My new article on Linkedin “Different People, Different Worlds”
One sees white where another sees black. One thinks that something is good, and another is certain that it’s bad. Different people, different worlds. How can we collaborate when we are worlds apart, closed inside our shells, and with completely different viewpoints? And, why are we built like this to begin with?
Why is our view so important to us? Our view represents who we are; it is the expression of our self, our ego. If someone disagrees with me, it undermines the foundation of my being, makes me feel unworthy and insignificant, and therefore insecure.
Each person is born with a unique set of traits and qualities. Each person grows in a certain family, under certain conditions, receives a certain upbringing, and lives through different experiences. Each person is influenced through media outlets and social media networks, and all those factors make us who we are.
Because of all those factors, we see the world through different filters, unique glasses that each one wears. This is why it is so difficult, or actually impossible, for us to understand other people. As a result, we find ourselves in constant conflicts. As we try to prove that our view is correct, we forget that each of us is unique, and we end up engulfed in endless ego-wars that lead nowhere but to frustration, despair, and depression.
Why is our view so important to us? Our view represents who we are; it is the expression of our self, our ego. If someone disagrees with me, it undermines the foundation of my being, makes me feel unworthy and insignificant, and therefore insecure.
As long as we are taught that we must compete with each other, we will keep harming one another and regard each other’s uniqueness as a threat. In order to turn our individuality into a socially constructive factor, we must add another layer to our education.
That layer has to do with nature’s complementing contrasts. We have to remind ourselves that all of life consists of contrasts that complement one another and enable each other’s existence. Just as there would be no birth or growth without death and decay, there would be no growth in opinions and ideas without conflicting views. In nature, opposites do not destroy one another; they complement one another, embolden one another, and guarantee each other’s existence. This is nature’s integral formula, and unless we understand its importance and apply it to society, we will destroy each other instead of strengthening each other.
Walking a long journey to reach one’s goal does not happen by hopping on one leg. It happens when we use both legs, left and right, to get to our destination. Human society should be likewise. Our destination is unity, and the only way to get there is by fostering a bond between us. That said, we will have no impetus to bond unless we feel that we are separated and hateful of each other, and must bolster our unity in order to rise above our hatred.
Therefore, when we come across a person whose views we despise, we must keep in mind that that view is there not for us to patronize, but as a basis for building a stronger connection. This remoteness that I feel is my impetus for building closeness, and there will never be another impetus besides the opposite of what we need to build.
People who feel no conflicts with others have no reason to unite; they are content as they are, uninterested and largely indifferent. Only people who are different, who are worlds apart, can ever build true unity, a strong connection, and, ultimately, true love.
