Kabbalah And IQ

281.02Question: Not all of us have a high IQ to absorb the huge amount of information from you. How should we properly prepare ourselves? What would you recommend?

Answer: In relation to Kabbalah, everyone has the same kind of mind because none of us can be better or worse at attaining the spiritual world. We all start from zero. So, no matter what natural talents you have, you are neither better nor worse than others, both men and women.

It is said from the beginning that a clever person doesn’t necessarily learn or succeed more. So there is no need to envy someone who seems to show great intellect. In Kabbalah, there is no such thing as a genius with a special memory coming in and everything is revealed to them. There is nothing like that. As the Shechina says: “I dwell in the lowliest of my people.”

Therefore, there is no need to invent any special methods of attainment or revelation. Everything will come to a person in due time when it is necessary for them.

Question: Can you give a general piece of advice of how a person can properly prepare themselves before a lesson or an event?

Answer: A person should not have anything clouding their mind, let them come empty. But if they are in the mood, they can read Psalms just to make sure it doesn’t overwhelm them. Nothing more.

The main thing is to remain calm. The Torah enters in a state of soft influence on a person. So there is no need to rush or be overly eager; nothing will slip away from you.

The System Takes Care of Everyone

929Question: When I, as a cogwheel, join a working mechanism, if the mechanism starts to malfunction, will it grind down this cogwheel or will it give it a chance to correct itself and fit into the mechanism?

Answer: The machine accepts the cogwheels, ensures they take its place, and gradually allows it to see the part of the machine’s overall work that it needs to perform.

Question: Is it not replaced as defective?

Answer: No, there is no one to replace it with.

True Self-Sacrifice

938.02Question: What is true self-sacrifice to the Creator, which is our ultimate goal?

Answer: True self-sacrifice is when we desire to squeeze all egoism out of ourselves, all intentions for self-benefit, even the smallest ones, whatever they may be, and remain solely directed toward our friends and through them to the Creator.

When we reach this point, we will indeed see that spiritual gates open before us.

Question: What actions allow me to pass goodness to my friends?

Answer: By showing an example of how to unite in order to be ready to receive upper forces from the Creator.

Ten Is the Cell of the Spiritual Organism

947Question: What is this system of the ten, which is a spiritual cell that must be integrated into a single spiritual organism?

Answer: All souls existing at the degrees of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature are connected with each other, influence each other, and determine each other’s states.

We need to take into account that we are one single system and must be completely corrected in relation to each other. That is, our connection determines the correction of universal egoism, and then such a connection appears between us that is absolutely identical to the Creator. We need to reach this state.

Thanks to Righteous Women

583.02Question: I am very impressed by the women’s questions. That has never happened before. In the past, all conventions were overwhelmingly dominated by men’s questions, but today it is the opposite. What is going on? Is there some general shift happening?

Answer: I am very glad that such changes are occurring. It is written that Israel was delivered from Egypt thanks to the righteous women.

That is exactly what is happening. We see that at this convention, women are outpacing men. They are quicker and clear-headed, which I am very pleased about. So we should push them forward. We will follow their lead.

Infect Each Other with Desires at a Convention

938.02Question: All the work on connection takes place in the ten. We gather at conventions from many countries. What can we pass to one another?

Answer: We infect and inspire each other with our desires.

Show everyone else how you are striving toward spirituality. You need nothing else. The wisdom of Kabbalah itself is not very complicated, but it is difficult to put into practice.

Understanding the basic principles is quite simple, but not through words, but rather through feelings.

How Can We Become a Spiritual Vessel?

938.04Question: How do we avoid substituting our own ideas for the genuine tuning required to hear the Creator?

Answer: To hear the Creator, your entire ten must unite into one single desire. In that state, you will feel that there is someone above who cares for you, guides you, corrects you, directs you, and brings you together.

After several such actions between you and the Creator, you will begin to feel how He gathers you and envelops you in a shell. From that moment onward, you will form a spiritual vessel (Kli).

How Can We Attain the Connection Between Souls?

962.6Question: Can we attain the unique connection between all souls?

Answer: We can attain everything, step by step.

Question: If we understand exactly how each soul is connected to another, will this enable us to unite better?

Answer: No, you cannot attain this now. When you achieve unification with your friends, and study the connections between you based on this, then you will be able to attain what your connection with the Creator should be.
