Question: What happens to people who leave the Kabbalistic group? Do they disconnect somehow, or do they stay in the system internally?

Answer: Among those who left are people who practically forget about this period of life. After all, the main thing is what a person lives for, and whether one is yearning for the world of bestowal, the upper world, or not.

When people lose this desire they return to the usual corporeal system of values and exist normally, and they have nothing else. Subconsciously, somewhere deep down behind the cerebellum with some kind of posterior brain, they understand that there is something else, but they suppress it in themselves: “Perhaps someday….”

Or life no longer seems so flat to them when a person, like a moth, flies and wants only to bask in its rays. They already feel that there is another world and another life because the illumination remains.

I think that when they leave us they do not have absolute complete joy in this world. Who has it at all today? The feeling that there is something else higher constantly gnaws at a person, but it is hard to reach: “I will leave it for later.”

What can you do? This is not a simple thing. I speak as a person who has been in Kabbalah since 1975. Those who really stay are, of course, heroes. The main part of the world group are people who came to us at the turn of the century.
