Question: Why do we need to rule the upper world and how can we do it at all if we are not even able to govern ourselves?

Answer: Indeed, a person cannot control himself and even more so not the upper world. But you can achieve control over both if you strive to connect with the upper force, with the properties of bestowal and love. Then you will be able to control the upper worlds.

Question: Does a person start literally from the zero point?

Answer: He starts from a very good state, from the complete opposite of the upper force. This opposition is the basis, the pledge, the condition for its correct movement.

Question: The element of silence is often used in Kabbalistic meals. What is its meaning?

Answer: The meaning is not in the silence, but in intention. When you eat with your friends on the spiritual path, you delve deeply into very strong inner intentions about how to strive together toward the goal, how to unite, to what even greater degree of connection you want to develop now, and then from that connection to the Creator.

Therefore, it is very important that people sit quietly absorbed in themselves.

Remark: Kabbalistic melodies are also often used at meals.

Answer: Yes, there are certain melodies, usually without words, that people sing together.

All these elements help them to come closer together internally in order to raise the common inner connection to the spiritual source—to the Creator.

Zohar for All, Chayei Sarah, Item 72: Similarly, several groups of lights of Klipot came out to the world from that first, upper serpent by which Adam was seduced. And they are all appointed over the secret deeds of the world.

Question: It is written that the serpent used to have legs. Was it something similar to dinosaurs?

Answer: It means that the serpent, that is, our egoism, was able to exist independently.

At first, egoism appeared as a separate quality, and once it was absorbed into us and mixed with the rest of the qualities, it lost its limbs and now it is located inside all our thoughts, forces, actions, and decisions. Therefore, this serpent no longer exists independently, so to speak.

Question: What is this construction: Adam, Eve, serpent?

Answer: Adam, Eve, the serpent, the Creator, the world—all this exists within one person. Absolutely everything!

Comment: I recently saw a painting of some fun-loving artist: Adam and Eve are near a tree, the serpent closes Adam’s eyes with its tail and attracts him to her. People imagine all sorts of things about this.

My Response: We should not imagine anything because we are talking about the qualities of a person. Adam is the desire to bestow, to exit oneself. Eve is the desire to receive, a part of our nature. Therefore, egoism has no direct contact with Adam.

Adam, as if, is eager to get out of the person. But not Eve. This is our quality to be filled, to receive, to gain, and therefore, egoism is accumulated in her.

Prophets, Joshua 5:13 – 15: And it was when Joshua was in Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and saw, and, behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went to him, and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?”

And he said, “No, but I am the captain of the host of the Lord; I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and prostrated himself, and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

And the captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, “Remove your shoe from your foot; for the place upon which you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Question: Who is this person who stood in front of Joshua?

Answer: An angel is an upper that manifests itself in people and tells them how they should act. You can call it an inner voice.

The naked sword in the hands of an angel is designed to separate the intentions of receiving and the intentions of bestowing.

Question: How does a person determine that an angel has really come? Is there any sign that I’m standing in front of him?

Answer: Such an awareness arises in a person that this is what is in front of him, and this is how he must act. “I had a voice.” This voice comes when you really want to go to the land of Israel.

In the News (ordonnews.com): “The famous fortuneteller and medium Wolf Messing made the following prophecies about the events of the 21st century:

• Russia will go through difficult times and will be at odds with the whole world over territory near its southern border. It is now clear that Crimea has become this stumbling block.
• After 2021, the Great Prophet will appear in Russia and create a global religion that can unite all of humanity. This will allow him to establish a world order in which there will be no struggle for power, wars and corruption.”

Question: After reading this, naturally, I thought about us. Science, which speaks about the unification of the world, is here. Why not give it a chance, and in the year 2021 reveal it for everyone? All it talks about is unification. Are we ready to roll out like this in the year 2021?

Answer: I personally am ready now if it were up to me. But it depends on many other factors. First, there should be no such fierce resistance in the world to what Kabbalah talks about: unification.

People should be disappointed with what they have. We cannot (as the Soviets have done) forcibly roll out the methodology of war, communism, or whatever you wish to call it.

We should only do it in a way that is convenient, helpful, and appealing to people. Otherwise, it can only be done by bloody means. Perhaps it will be done this way. We read a lot about what will happen in the time of the Messiah: huge, bloody wars, murders, and other things. But I don’t want to delve into these details.

Question: It is not possible to enforce?

Answer: No! Of course not. People will try to break out of their egoistic, cruel, terrible shells. But there is no place for Kabbalah here.

Once they sober up from all these things and their egoism simply gives up and raises its hands, then it will be possible to explain to them what nature really requires of us—unification, rapprochement above our egoistic rejections. Then it will be possible to do something.

Will this happen in the year 2021? For me, it could happen tomorrow. It all depends on the general state of events, as they say.

Question: So you’re saying that a person should be discouraged by loneliness, selfishness, and by living for himself? And only then will he ask: give me something to?

Answer: Yes. We are witnessing a new generation emerging for whom our past ideals hold no importance.

Question: Yes, they don’t want careers; they don’t care to work hard to move up the career ladder; they do not even want to earn very much money. Pizza, cola, sitting in front of the computer…

But are you sure that, one way or another, some generation will definitely have the need for the method of connection?

Answer: They do not see the meaning in life, and it is very difficult, even impossible, to exist without it. They will be looking for it. And they will understand that you get there through connection because all other practical methods have already been exhausted.

Question: Is it important for you to use the word “Kabbalah”?

Answer: No! Absolutely not! Nor should we use it. These stigmas—people are negatively predisposed to them, they would start pulling materials on Kabbalah from all kinds of sources. It will only confuse people.

Question: They don’t need to have this term in mind as long as they do want to reach this connection?

Answer: It could be someone completely unrelated to us, as if they’re not affiliated with us, a person or a group of people who will develop and promote it.

Question: But what should they have in mind besides what you say—unification?

Answer: Nothing else!

Question: This is how we reach similarity with the law of nature: harmony?

Answer: Of course! Harmony! Harmony in relationships. This is what nature requires. After having gone through everything, we certainly can demand it intentionally.

Prophets, Joshua, 5:4: And this is the reason why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, all the men of war, had died in the desert by the way after they came out of Egypt.

To be circumcised means to refuse to use your egoistic desires. The cessation of their use began with the exodus from Egypt and lasted only 40 years in the desert. Thus, for 40 years, generations were born that were not circumcised.

For all the people that came out were circumcised, but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.

Since these people were born outside of Egypt, they did not use the egoistic desires that had to be circumcised by those who lived in Egypt. In the desert, in the property when they have nowhere to receive from, they lived only by MAN, called manna from heaven, that which falls down to them from Bina. They were walking in this way all these years, nurturing themselves in order to reach the condition of entering the land of Israel.

The most important egoistic desire, which we cannot correct, is subject to circumcision. You can only reject it and not use it.

If we want to reach the quality of Bina, the spiritual quality, then we have no right to use our egoism for our own sake, and this is what is called the “foreskin.”

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and they made the Passover sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

And they ate of the grain of the land on the morrow of the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain on this very day.
And the manna ceased on the morrow when they ate of the grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna anymore; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year. (Joshua 5:10-5:12)

The sons of Israel no longer receive nourishment from Bina, the highest level. They must earn this fulfillment, these powers, by themselves.

Therefore, it is said that they began to eat the produce of the land, which means the combination of the properties of Malchut and Bina. By using the properties of receiving and giving, they can combine them so that the land produces food.

Question: In the desert, they did not do this, but here they began to combine these qualities?

Answer: There is no property of Bina in the desert. Therefore, only MAN falls there. And when the people come to the border with the land of Israel, they have the opportunity to receive the property of Bina (bestowal), to mix it in the correct proportion with the properties of Malchut (reception), and to start producing food from the land.

This means that they must correct their desires themselves, but, of course, with the help of Bina, with the help of an upper force, the power of the Creator.

Question: In order to grow crops, do they need to start cultivating this land and ask for rain?

Answer: Yes, this is a whole system of working with our desire so that it begins to bear fruit. I take egoistic desires, cut them off so that only those desires that can be used for bestowal and love for others remain. And then I produce whatever the earth bears for the sake of others. And so does everyone in the land of Israel.

If I work with the intention for the sake of others, I cultivate the land, that is, I cultivate my egoism so that sprouts of altruism appear from it, which I give to others, then I fulfill the condition of life in the land of Israel.

Question: And then the rains come?

Answer: Not only that. The earth always bears fruit. And when the rains come, i.e., moisture appears in it, Bina, and it gives such fruits that they did not know before, as in the case of the scouts who saw huge bunches of grapes in the land of Israel.

Moisture in the earth only appears only if the people do not use their selfish intentions.

Comment: Everyone believed that vaccinated countries such as Israel and the United Kingdom were protected. And suddenly, there is a virus in both the UK and Israel. In Israel, the increase in new diseases is at a rate of about 20% per day. 50% of the sick Israelis were already vaccinated.

And everyone looks at Israel: “We were hoping that they would slip through.”

My Response: No. In the end, Israel cannot slip through. It is Israel who is responsible for bringing the world to balance, to a healthy lifestyle.

It will be revealed to us that we cannot do anything with our brains, with our science.

The whole world will think: “How is it possible? It seemed like they succeeded.” No, it will not work. We will suffer more than others, not less than others. Because we are to blame for what is happening.

Because we must bring the world to balance, we are obliged to tell the world why all the suffering in the world occurs and where these terrible viruses actually come from. And every month and year they will get worse and worse in their manifestations.

Nothing will help us: no science, no brains, no diligence, nothing! Only our connection and correct attitude to each other, exactly as it is written. In Kabbalah, everything is explained very simply: if we do not do this, these viruses will consume us.

Question: So neither high-tech nor the development of our healthcare, which is so sharp, nothing will help?

Answer: No. Only correcting our relations with each other!

Question: And then we will show an example to the whole world?

Answer: Yes. This is why the Jewish people and the State of Israel exist.

Question: Until we understand this, will the troubles continue and became worse and worse?

Answer: Yes. But here is what is interesting. Everyone usually listens to something bad about Israel with pleasure all over the world, but they do not hear this! How long have I been talking about this? The Jews are to blame, let’s put pressure on them to fulfill their destiny.

The tragedy is in that this is exactly what they do not hear! They do not pay attention.

Question: How will they hear then?

Answer: I don’t know. But I am doing what I can. How else can I scream? Try to get into the UN?

I would go; I would come out with pleasure. Let’s tell the whole world, the international community, explain to everyone and to Israel itself what our whole purpose is. Getting rid of all these viruses, of all the evil in the world—it is only by forcing the Jews to enter into good mutual relations with each other.

And then their good relations will influence all the nations of the world so that they would begin to connect with each other through this small group of Jews, or not only Jews, this is already a united group. And then there will be balance and peace in the world.

Question: Who do you include in the concept of Jews?

Answer: Everyone who is with us. By the same principle as in ancient Babylon: those who took upon themselves the duty to achieve love for their neighbor.
