The four types of exile that the Jewish people went through are identical to the basic formula of nature “Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey.“ According to this formula of the gradual development of desire, the development of any phenomenon in nature takes place.
Moreover, the first exile was not felt as an exile at all, just as people at the dawn of the existence of mankind did not feel slavery in the slave-owning order. Then the desire was so small that if a person somehow satisfied it, this was already good. And people agreed with that.
Then the desire developed more and more, more freedom was needed, and more of our own incorporation in life, development, and communication, to the point that nature made us completely integrally interconnected with each other, but we have not yet come to this.
We are late regarding this formula, this condition of nature, to develop us to the necessary degree. Like a newborn baby—what is he, who is he? He does not communicate with anyone; he has no group or social motives. And then he gradually begins to feel that he needs society, family, and everything else.
All our progress is based on the fact that we gradually begin to feel ourselves in our natural egoism in exile from the upper state, from the next degree.
There are degrees of inanimate, vegetative, and animate matter and “man” in nature. Kabbalah talks about how we gradually move from the degree of animals to the degree of man. This is the next degree, but we have not reached it yet. All of humanity is at the animate level of development because it cares only about how to live, feed itself, and raise children.

Question: How did you sense that you had found your teacher? How does it happen?
Answer: It is impossible to describe. I see that people who are with me when I give talks, they too begin to feel something because it is an influence of the upper light.
When it acts on a Kli (vessel) that has not completely opened it causes a person to feel emotional and increases sensitivity within a person. It is called a small state. It is like a child who begins to cry because he is unable to define his state or absorb within himself something that should happen to him. The same is occurring with us.
Question: Does it mean that the sensation that it will certainly happen here with this teacher at this place depends on the influence of the light? Is the future light acting upon the person this way?
Answer: Of course! The surrounding light (Ohr Makif) is the future light. This is why it is called surrounding. After all, it is still unable to come into you. Since you are so little in relation to it, you feel that you have found something! But what, you do not know.
Question: Meaning, as if the light is saying, “Hold on to me, there will be something here”?
Answer: Yes, of course. With that, the person cannot vanish anymore. It is already impossible to break away from this source.

Question: Is the perception of your student’s corporeal life as open to you as the spiritual one?
Answer: No, the corporeal life of my student is not the field in which I have contact with him. Absolutely not. I do not need to know what a person is doing. I feel what is happening to him in his spiritual development but not in the corporeal.
Question: And you may not even know where he is at the moment, for example, on the road or in a certain place?
Answer: I do not know that.
Question: So, your student can deceive you by saying: “I was there just now,” but in reality…
Answer: Physically? Of course he can! After all, it is not his lowest spiritual level, which is in me. Only his spiritual stage is in me.
Question: By committing some kind of deception in relation to the teacher, does the student thereby affect his spirituality?
Answer: Undoubtedly, he does.
Question: And do you feel how it is changing?
Answer: I do not know why, but the fact that his fall is happening, I see it, I feel it.
Question: And what is deception in itself?
Answer: Deception is a purposeful discrepancy between the lower and the higher or between you and a friend when you can get closer and deliberately do not go for it. This is a very bad action because it causes double distancing.
That is, you put the connection that you could make between yourself and others, not just at a distance, but in opposition to each other. This is the cunning of the serpent.
Question: But how can a person protect himself so as not to carry out this deception?
Answer: Only by the greatness of the goal.

Comment: According to the classification of a cult, it is considered that the teaching of the group is extremely simple and explains any problem.
My Response: There is nothing simple in Kabbalah because everything we study must go through our feelings. We must attain this by changing our qualities, and only when they change can we say that we have learned some aspect, some phenomenon.
That is, it is a long process of changing the person himself. Nothing in Kabbalah can be studied without changing oneself.
The fact is that science is not when I study some extraneous phenomena, but when I study what is happening within me because the world is felt inside a person. There is no world outside of a person.
Our knowledge and attainment are purely subjective, and therefore, only by changing all kinds of parameters in myself, can I begin to understand how I perceive the world, how I am arranged, and what the world I perceive is. Everything is only inside of me.
So, there is nothing simple here. Everything is built only on showing a person that he must begin to change in order to attain the real universe and the system of governance.
People who do not do this, do not change themselves, but only philosophize about it and attribute to Kabbalah everything that seems to them, because they do not attain it in themselves, from their own experience. Hence, they have an incorrect opinion about Kabbalah. They liken it to all kinds of other practices; they believe that it is slander, conspiracies, witchcraft, mysticism, Pulsa deNura, spells, and so on.
Basically, they attribute to Kabbalah something that has never been in it at all. In fact, a Kabbalist has no secrets, all he needs is to change himself, expand his sensations, feelings, and then he will perceive the true universe more and more, which is outside of us, but will be felt internally.
Kabbalah talks about how to change our senses with the help of restriction (screen, reflected light), spiritual attainment, how light (NRNHY) will gradually enter new senses, which are called KHB ZON, and so on.

And “he who has a hundred wants two hundred,” it follows that “One does not die with half one’s wishes in one’s hand” (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 4, Item 21).
We are arranged in such a way that we always run for a double reward, which constantly signals us from afar. Therefore, it turns out that we die without reaching it. This means that a person dies without getting even half of what he wished for.
Thus, they suffer from both sides: from the pain of increased motion, and from the pain of deficiency of possessions. That is, you suffer both from the fact that you have to move all the time and look for something, and from the fact that you are not fulfilled.
This is our life. In any case, we will be constantly running, constantly striving for something, and we will not be able to stop ourselves. But no matter what actions we take, we will still remain twofold empty.

Question: An elderly couple was asked what the secret of their long marriage was. The wife replied that is was the fact that “We both love me. I do not exit loving myself, and he loves me.”
What do you think about this?
Answer: This is very one-sided, like walking on a crutch. I do not want that. There is no mutuality.
Comment: This is the entire secret of their long marriage; there is no mutuality.
My Response: It is like a little child who behaves like that with his mom: “I love myself and everyone should love me.” This will not work. I do not feel pleasure, height, journey, and fulfillment from the fact that someone will show me that he or she loves me.
I feel like this sometimes, and it does not make me feel good.
Question: Then what is the secret of a long and happy marriage?
Answer: When you can constantly concede to each other. Constantly! That is, to be ready for this all the time to concede to the other in everything. In everything! Then life is beautiful.
Comment: Can you imagine? The moment I feel a prick and have to attack, and hop, I concede even though everything inside me is burning!
My Response: No, there is nothing anymore and nothing is burning.
Question: So once I have conceded, is there suddenly a peaceful flow?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is this what we come to through big fights and big clashes?
Answer: Through understanding, through recognizing the wisdom of nature. Only in this form can you be connected with the other and can you receive pleasure from being with him and conceding to him all the time! That is all. How wonderful!

Question: What is the right way to go against one’s egoistic desires?
Answer: You cannot overcome your egoistic desires if you do not resist. Above all your desires, you need to build a connection with the Creator.
After all, everything that arises in you now gives you a feeling directed against the unity of the Creator, against His existence, and you must behave as if He exists, as if He is the one and only source of everything that happens, who is absolutely good and doing only good.
And you get a completely different, constantly changing picture against these settings. But you rise above them and act, saying: “You give me these feelings, these thoughts, these relationships with everyone, and this attitude to everyone, you build this worthless world around me. And I will treat You above all this as good, bringing good, the only one who exists, and the cause of everything that happens. And in general, all this around me does not exist, there is only You!”
Suppose you are talking to me now, which means that I do not exist; you treat me as the Creator’s influence on you, and I do not exist. The same for me. Even those thoughts and feelings that arise in me, it is You who arouse them. And who am I? I am only an expert point that feels all this and is tuned to perceive it this way. And then the soul begins to develop from this expert point.
