We need to set an example for the whole world of what we achieve if we use the knowledge of Kabbalah to unite, not even the masses, but several tens of thousands of people.

How much better, more airy, and more spiritual they will begin to feel. What good interactions will develop between them. As the safety and cleanliness in their areas where they live will increase, there will be fewer diseases and fewer problems with children. Even the money they have will suddenly be enough for everything. A person, without changing anything, will stop experiencing any problems.

The upper light that manifests between us will begin to somehow average everything and pacify. And people will agree with this and be happy with it. They will stop being ill, they will start smiling. This is how Baal HaSulam describes the future society in his article “Concealment and Disclosure of the Face of the Creator.” We can come to this.

Can’t we make people happy? I would give everything I know and understand for this.

Today, for most countries, this would be a method of salvation. And tomorrow it will be the same for the whole world.

Comment: Irina writes to you: “I am horrified by what has happened! My son was present when his friends killed a stray cat with stones, and then hanged it. My son is 12 years old. I shouted at him so that the neighbors came running.

And suddenly I realized with horror that he couldn’t hear me and didn’t understand why I was yelling at him like that. “Well, big deal, a cat, it’s nobody’s. It was begging for food around here,” was his answer. I’ve been living with this for a month now and I don’t know what to do or how to communicate with him. Why is there such cruelty in him, in all of them?!”

My Response: You have raised a “good” son.

Question: So you blame her?

Answer: Of course, it’s her fault, but who else?

As long as it didn’t concern her, everything was fine. And now, when she saw it for the first time, it hurt her.

Comment: But still, it’s not so much the parents as the environment.

My Response: It doesn’t matter. Anyway, the demand is from the parents.

If parents ask themselves harshly what is happening to their children, then this will not happen.

This means that there is such a situation at home. Precisely at home, the situation is like that! It’s in the air. About the fact that you can kill an animal or even a stranger, some homeless person, and then others in general.

Also on TV someone kills.

Comment: And these games are computer games, and that’s it.

My Response: Check what your son “feeds on.”

Question: And if, for example, parents see that those with whom the child communicates are in a bad environment, they have to force him out of there?

Answer: They should keep him out and stuff him with other values. This should be done beautifully. Through good films, literature, and so on, but so that he would be interested.

Comment: What a burden on parents after all!

My Response: I also grew up in an environment where around me boys of the same age as me were then in prison. Such were the problems!

Comment: Yards.

My Response: Yes.

Question: And your parents didn’t let you out?

Answer: No.

Question: What is the advice to parents if they see that the child is heading downward? What advice would they give to them if he fell into some kind of bad company?

Answer: Isolate. And give anything but bad company. My father took me to see good films about all sorts of musicians. He himself was a very big fan of cinema.

Comment: Meaning, he understood that it was necessary to surround you with this.

My Response: Yes. I believe that this must necessarily be done.

Comment: In general, the view today is that I put the child in front of the computer or the TV, just so he will be silent.

My Response: There is no such thing. It depends on the internal situation in the house. The child feels very much what is important to parents and what is not, what they welcome, what they prefer, respect.

Question: So, in principle, you are talking about another school—the school of parenting?

Answer: Of course, the only way is to educate parents and for parents to create such an environment at home in which the child can breathe the right air.

Comment: Let’s say you tell a student, “Do this,” and then literally after a short period of time you say: “What are you doing?” Your actions contradict each other.

Answer: It seems that way to you, it is just how you hear it. I don’t say opposite things, but you perceive the opposite. For me it is the same.

There is a very precise example in the Torah when the Creator promises Abraham: “I will make your son the foundation of all spiritual generations on Earth.” And five minutes later He says, “Sacrifice him.” How can we compare these two events and say that they are the same thing?

Question: Then how can I listen to you in this case?

Answer: Precisely like this, the way Abraham listened. Only he had the opportunity to rise above these two events—not with his earthly mind, but rather with his spiritual mind, with faith above reason, meaning, in the quality of bestowal—to see that it is the same thing.

Therefore it is not necessary to say that the teacher is wrong. After all, at the same time, you cut yourself off from the opportunity to rise to a new degree of reason where opposites come together and do not destroy or annul each other.

This is the moment of the highest truth, which we cannot rise to with our human brains. But this is exactly the point through which you can pass, like through a wall. It will suddenly part, and you will pass.

Women play a very important role in correcting the world. After all, this world exists only thanks to women. A woman is a house, shopping, and the household. A woman gives birth to children and also raises, educates, and takes care of them.

Everyone understands perfectly well how a man would look if there were no woman next to him; he would look like a boy who is always unwashed, disorganized, and unfocused.

A woman is such a special creature in the world that brings order to it and maintains this order. No man can replace her in this, as this is how this world works. In Judaism, a woman is called a “house.” Therefore, it is a woman’s duty to put life in order in every house, in every village, in every city, and in every country. It is all in your hands, and every man and every woman should participate in this work.

A woman is called a “house” because her husband eventually does what she asks at home. It turns out that the world is ruled by women. Only they do not want to declare it loudly because the nature of a woman is such that she likes to remain modestly in the shadows and does not want to take responsibility.

In order to change this world for the better, women need to become more feminine, and then men will listen to them. A man loves when a woman is gentle, quiet, and listens to him more than one who is rude and demanding. But women know well when to shout at their husband and when to cry, and so with these two oars they steer the family ship in the middle line.

Women should understand that it depends only on them whether we can make this world kinder and more stable. It is said that “People of Israel came out of Egypt (from slavery) by virtue of righteous women.” A righteous woman is one who knows what justice is, what the goal is, and how to establish the correct relationship with her husband, as well as with all women and all men in the world, so that there is a spirit of mutual guarantee in the world. This is a great thing.

If women realize that the ultimate correction of the world depends on them and they take on this mission, then everyone will follow them, and we will succeed. Every man remembers that when he was a child, he was raised by women: his mother, grandmother, older sister, kindergarten teacher, school teacher, etc. So why not continue this correct, kind, and devoted care. It is necessary to connect female power to the governance of the world and in this form we will certainly come closer to a good life.

The problem is that we teach women how to become businesswomen. However, the task of a woman, as if in a family, is to take care of a man and support him. Without wise support, men will grow up like hooligans, like street kids. This is exactly what we see in the world today.

However, with the correct support of a woman who knows how to behave and continues to be an intelligent educator and teacher for a man, good men grow out of men, and become sensitive and respectful to women. It takes time and a lot of mutual work between men and women for men to realize that it is necessary to cooperate with women and also let them come to the fore.

Women should understand that they cannot hide behind men’s backs; they need to behave just like at home, where a woman takes over the whole household: cleans, cooks, and washes.

This family way of life should be extended to the entire space outside the home walls, and then we will have to join men to this work. After all, instead of simple washing, we will need a laundry factory, and instead of simple cooking in the kitchen, a food processing plant, where many men and women work. This is a completely different scale and is the future.

Comment: If we imagine that a person bestows to someone, enjoys it, and the Creator is revealed as a result of it, it looks somewhat strange.

My Response: What else do we need? The Creator is revealed within you, in your new qualities. If you acquire His qualities of bestowal and connection, then instead of egoistic desires, you reveal altruistic desires of bestowal within yourself.

Question: I understand this. It is just that Kabbalists who have attained the Creator write that this is such an incredible pleasure that for the sake of this for one second a person would be willing (figuratively speaking) to cut off his hands and feet seven times a day.

Is it possible that a person who bestows to another person, helps another, really feels such incredible pleasure?

Answer: Obviously, yes. They come to this gradually. With the help of restriction, the screen, and other various techniques, Kabbalists are able to behave in such a way that the revelation of the Creator does not prevent them from being connected with other people and, at the same time, receiving everything and giving it to others.

Question: Let’s say that humanity has invented some kind of drink and enjoys it, or discovered some law of nature and uses it for its own benefit. Is this a revelation of the Creator?

Answer: Yes, in part this is also the revelation of the Creator. But this is not what Kabbalah talks about.

Question: What else can be revealed? What kind of Creator can be attained that Kabbalah speaks about, but ordinary sciences do not?

Answer: Kabbalah says that we can attain the real Creator. It is the Creator and not some of His secondary manifestations in nature. But we can do this only according to the law of equivalence of qualities.

If I am to some extent bestowing like the Creator, then I will be able to reveal these qualities of bestowal in myself. Then I will feel what the Creator feels. To this extent I will become similar and close to Him.

That is, if I become a bestower, and just as today I constantly search where I can receive something, so I will also search for what else I can bestow to others, and then I will be able to feel like the Creator to some extent. It will fulfill me.
But this is not easy to implement.

Comment: In the corporeal world, there is a phenomenon of “weeping and tears.” It is interesting that in addition to joy and grief, which we express in the form of tears, it is also associated with survival.

Crying is mainly associated with negative emotions, although people can also from happiness cry, of course. The brain cannot identify negative or positive emotions; it does not care. There is just some kind of flow of emotions that gives instruction to produce tears.

It turns out that tears block excessive emotions. What is the reason for producing them in spirituality?

My Response: When a person does not have enough of a correct reaction to what is happening, he bursts into tears. In principle, and speaking in the language of Kabbalah, this is the absence of clear, correct, reflected light, or feedback. When it is impossible to react correctly, to make a restriction (Tzimtzum), screen (Masach), and reflected light (Ohr Hozer), then a person cries.

Question: However, this is not always accompanied by producing tears, as in our world, right? After all, there is no body in spirituality.

Answer: What does the body have to do with this? This refers to a certain reaction of desire to what is happening to it. Let us say the reaction to the fact that there is no light or that it cannot react correctly, and so on. That is, it is the absence of reverse, reflected light.

Question: What is the fundamental difference between an analog system and a digital one?

Answer: The analog system is superior to the digital one because there is an infinite possibility of resolution and accuracy, like with conventional vinyl records, instead of digital recordings. Real experts appreciate precisely such records because they convey all the subtlety of the sound with all the harmonics.

In numbers, however, all this needs to be digitized, or put into corresponding pulses, as it were. No matter how many instruments you have, each one must find its pulse, and they are all limited. That is, it is an incomplete transfer of information.

No matter how you build a curve out of pulses, it will be approximately a curve, but still consist of pulses inside.

It is clear that the digital system is more profitable. Thanks to it, we can go to any frequency and transmit a huge amount of information. But sensuality, subtlety, and those harmonics that no computer can catch, which are necessary specifically for our hearing and feeling, are transmitted better by a record or our old non-digital receivers and transmitters.

Question: But you said that the last generation thinks precisely through the digital system. What is the difference here from the point of view of Kabbalah?

Answer: Digital thinking is thinking with the mind, with the primitive mind. Analog thinking is thinking with feelings and is unlimited. This is the difference. The heart perceives analog, which is smooth information, a wave, and the brain perceives pulse information, and works by bits.

Comment: But many of your students are representatives of the last generation.

My Response: It seems to me that among my students there practically are no, “bit thinkers,” meaning ones who think by pulses. They might work in this area, but they do not think like that.

In general, I am sure that we will move back to the analog state—to spirituality.

Interestingly, in the spiritual world you have very clearly graduated degrees. They are digital and human feelings on them are analog. These degrees are digitized, pulsed, i.e., every second awareness, sensation, and everything else takes place within you. But the sensation itself turns directly into feelings, which are not digital, but analog.
