Today I am constantly getting hit by nature. How can I make sure that it does not strike but will stroke me so that everything is good: the sun shines, the rain, the clouds, everything is in due time, everything is good? So that I would live without knowing any bitterness?

I would not exist the way my body exists, but at a higher level where I understand nature, where I connect with it by my “I,” because I consciously enter into harmony with it.

Suddenly I begin to connect to the layer of nature where it controls me, I come into contact with it and feel myself in an eternal, perfect layer of nature. It is higher than the animal level I exist in now.

For this, we have been given the science of Kabbalah, with the help of which we can recognize the part of nature hidden from us. Therefore, Kabbalah is called a secret science. When we see these laws and feel their impact on us, we can build our behavior in accordance with them. This is completely real and clear because I see how I should act.

Kabbalah is indispensable here. Therefore, it is revealed in our time. For the first time in the history of mankind it became necessary for everyone.

Question: Is it necessary because we have reached a certain level at which we must recognize the level of nature?

Answer: We have reached a very simple level—collapse, where we are in a general crisis of upbringing, family, health care, ecology, politics, finance, everything. We try to run away and close our eyes because we do not see a solution. Naturally, a person immediately turns on his restrictive internal systems. It is better not to see the bad tomorrow, I will live today.

But in the end, we feel that we need to understand something in our life; otherwise, we will not be able to exist. The younger generation already feels it clearly.

Today, millions of people in the world understand that we cannot live without the method of balance with nature, which Kabbalah speaks of. This understanding arises within a crisis state, within that detachment and emptiness that modern man feels.

Question: How is it possible to strengthen the connection with the Creator  to get an answer to my question?

Answer: It is possible to strengthen the connection only through a correct response and not in any other way.

The more that the friends participate in a connection with the Creator, the wider, deeper, and stronger it will be. You will begin to feel more precise harmonies, meaning that you will notice the higher elements of the relationship between you: why, what for, and so on.

This only depends on the extent to which you conduct a connection to the Creator through the group.

Question: In our world there is the so-called wisdom of the crowd. What is the difference between this united consciousness and the one in the spiritual world?

Answer: The fact is that, in our world, when we want to invest together in some common cause, we partially annul ourselves. Therefore, everyone expresses their opinion in order to achieve some good overall result. We kind of subconsciously use this Kabbalistic principle.

Nullifying myself, I add up with others; “Let’s try together.” As a result, we get something more or less perfect, better than each of us had separately. This is, in general, the correct principle.

But Kabbalists say, “Let us unite, not in order to compose some beautiful appeal or solve some riddle, but to create an empty space between us, where everyone puts himself, free from egoism.”

That’s when I push myself away and want to be here with others, then we collect all our parts free from egoism. This consciousness has nothing to do with everyone’s self. Basically, it is empty because we do not have it. We only create it by our own efforts and then a higher level, a higher consciousness, is manifested within it.

Question: Jung introduced the following concept of collective consciousness: unification based on common archetypes that are accepted and understood by all members of the group. What is the difference between this kind of unity and the unity of consciousness based on self-nullification?

Answer: Kabbalists have different goals and a different technique. The technique depends on the goal, what I want to achieve. I want to achieve the property of bestowal, to connect above myself with others. That is, I want to portray a property from myself that is not within me so that it appears above me. In this case, I am, as it were, the basis over which I wish to portray myself.

Question: So, the difference is in the level of connection with the information field?

Answer: Of course! Rising in this way, I do not bring any of my indignations, errors, or anything into this field. To the extent that I do this, I begin to feel it, at least a little of its radiation.

Comment: Today mathematics has developed greatly. Kabbalists have never known this. The only thing close to mathematics in Kabbalah is Gematria.

My Response: In principle, mathematics reflects the dependence between some parameters. So, if we take our desires on the one hand, and the desires of the higher field on the other, then as Kabbalah believes and reveals, there is nothing besides these two parameters.

Therefore, all our knowledge also consists of zero and one. We can write down any given in this way. Kabbalists describe the relationship between various stages, but describe it in the form of a condition: if you know how to approach changing yourself at some level, then make yourself the necessary instrument, feel and see what is being said.

That is, earthly sciences link various data into a single chain, but all this is not experienced by man, and exists as it were, outside of us.

And Kabbalah is a science that is felt by us, and first of all, it should tune us to this feeling, without detaching from nature. Therefore, it describes man and nature according to a completely different principle—as our steps to merge with nature.

Mathematics is the relationship between data. But the problem is that in our world all this happens in egoistic properties and therefore does not lead to similarity, but on the contrary, to differentiation, to rupture, as a result of which a multitude of all kinds of properties, formulas, interdependencies, and other things appear.

But when you walk only in likeness, then you almost do not need mathematics because in the spiritual world everything is graduated in 125 steps, and each of them has five levels. You must become like each of them. To do this, you need to bring your egoism to a state corresponding to a certain level. That is, everything is very specific.

And in our world, because we work in an egoistic Kli (vessel), we break it into many parts, and we get a huge mathematical array. We cannot connect it in any way: where can we get this single formula that connects the entire universe into one whole? This cannot be done through our egoistic perception.

And although we actively use mathematics, in principle, it is all built not on similarities, but on differences from nature. Spiritual mathematics is based on completely different principles.

Comment: A few decades ago, the human factor was emphasized in the relationship between men and women.

My Response: Today, this factor does not exist at all. Even then, a man was very small, ostentatious. Men and women played flirting games with each other. It was a superficial, external culture.

But inside, it wasn’t like that. People had a little selfishness, less demand on each other. They were more dependent on society: I can’t get a divorce, I’m held back by some social framework, laws, and conventions.

None of this is happening now. I calmly talk about everything: who I am, what I am, what my sexual inclinations are, what I have on the side. And nothing. I’m free, I’m an adult, and that’s it.

It turns out that the family in this form cannot exist for a long time. We are leading ourselves to its final disintegration. This is only hindered by the fact that there are still various societies in the world, for example, Catholic and Muslim, which are against divorce.

China and India have not yet outgrown their traditional framework. Wait a couple more years, and we’ll see the world in a perfect farce. Then people will finally understand that they have broken all the boundaries with their egoism and made themselves unmanageable. And without control, we go into such chaos that a person just has to close their eyes to not see anything. This is the only way he can be saved.

It is then that people will come to understand that they need to know the source of nature, why this happens, how to correct themselves and their attitude to nature. And then they will need Kabbalah.

Question: What does it mean to correct yourself?

Answer: To correct means, without limiting yourself, to properly manage your egoistic nature. Egoism is good because it moves us forward. But it moves us incorrectly, because we are under it, we indulge it.

And if we can manage it properly to move toward the goal set by nature, if we see our future, which in principle is already prepared for us, then we will achieve universal harmony.

The problem is that a person does not know what is ahead of him, what will happen today in a minute, and even more so tomorrow. And Kabbalah reveals this perspective, and it becomes clear to us where to go. And then immediately there is a correct analysis of good and evil, what needs to be eliminated and what does not.

But today, everyone judges the world by himself, everyone believes that he is right. And so the world is what it is.

Question: In the ancient part of Hebron there is the Cave of Machpelah where, according to the Torah, our forefathers are buried: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. According to tradition it is said that this is the burial place of Adam and Eve.

“Machpelah” means double cave in Hebrew. We know that in Kabbalah, any name has some meaning. Why is this cave called a double cave?

Answer: It is because the Cave of Machpelah is a combination of two worlds—our world and the upper world. Although the bodies of our world rest there, the spirit of the people buried in it is the spirit of the upper world.

Question: When you say “two worlds,” do you mean two qualities: receiving and bestowal—Malchut and Bina?

Answer: Yes.

Question: It is said that the Cave of Machpelah is the second holiest place after the Temple, which was once destroyed. Is it worth visiting such place physically?

Answer: Yes, it is. Rabash wrote that Baal HaSulam went there. When Rabash asked him: “Why?” he replied that a person should strive for the place of his ancestors. All the forefathers are buried (although the word “buried” is an allegory) in Hebron.

Question: It is interesting that a cave is a special place in the earth where you can live. But, in principle, it is impossible to live in the earth.

From the point of view of Kabbalah, the earth is Ratzon, desire, and there is no life there. And suddenly, it turns out that there is a place in the earth where you can live. What is it?

Answer: Nature (naturally) or man (artificially) creates a place that has all necessary conditions for a person to exist as if outside the cave. In this case, the cave is both a protector and a guardian.

We know that the author of The Book of Zohar Rabbi Shimon and his son lived in a cave for a long time. As the sources tell us, many of our forefathers settled in such places.

But the point of the cave is not to burrow somewhere in the ground and hide from someone. Its meaning is spiritual.

That is, on one hand, a person in general annuls and hides from everyone. On the other hand, it is precisely in his humbling that he combines the properties of Bina and Malchut: the property of bestowal of the upper world and the property of reception of the lower world.

Thus, in the earth in which there is, in general, nothing suitable for human life, he forms such a place, creates in it (in Malchut) such conditions that would be equal to the air (the upper world), and so he lives. In other words, thanks to Bina, the quality of bestowal, you can live in a cave.

Question: What does it mean to make a covenant with the Creator? What covenant we are talking about?

Answer: Covenant means that we already have mutual conditions that say in my aspiration what I commit myself to do for the sake of the Creator, and I ask the Creator to help me be able to realize my qualities, my aspirations, for bestowal and love, for adhesion with Him.

Question: Can we say that a person is doing some actions for connection in the group? At first, of course, this happens without any feelings, and then when a person receives the quality of bestowal, he already begins to feel spirituality, which is called we shall hear, and enters a state of equivalence of form with the Creator. Is this already called a covenant at some minimum level?

Answer: Yes. But first, he simply performs actions with his eyes closed, without any obligations and reaches a state where actions for the sake of the Creator become the meaning of his existence.

Question: Does it matter, whether or not he feels good about it?

Answer: It does not matter what he feels, what he assumes, or what he will have in the future. That is, there is no time, no space, nothing! Only the maximum good influence from him to the Creator through people—not directly to the Creator, but through people. This is what he wants to implement.
