Question: What does it mean to become a support for the Creator, which leads to adhesion?
Answer: It means that in your state, within your group, you become the point where all questions and all answers, say, on a given topic, converge. In this way, you continue to move forward.
Question: Why can the greatness of the Creator be realized only through the coarse, lowly matter of a person, and from this adhesion can be achieved?
Answer: It is because the Creator resides within a person, and what a person says is of no consequence. The most important thing is the fact that the Creator does through him.

It is a law that the creature cannot receive disclosed evil from the Creator, for it is a flaw in the glory of the Creator for the creature to perceive Him as an evildoer, for this is unbecoming of the complete Operator to act with evil (Rashbi, Zohar for All, Vol. 1, Introduction of The Book of Zohar, “Laila de Kalah [The Night of the Bride]”).
Evil arises when the creatures perceive the Creator’s actions as flawed. If creation interprets the Creator’s actions in this way due to its own lack of development, the Creator must conceal Himself to that extent.
Hence, when one feels bad, denial of the Creator’s guidance lies upon him and the superior Operator is concealed from him to that same extent. This is the greatest punishment in the world.
That is, when a person is given the sensation of evil, the revelation of his egoism, to this extent he naturally is unable to rise above it or justify it. Consequently, concealment occurs.
Thus, the sensation of good and evil in relation to His guidance brings with it the sensation of reward and punishment… If a person perceives everything as good, it is a reward. But if evil appears amidst the good, it is a punishment. There is no punishment greater than the disappearance of the Creator from the horizon of one’s perception.
…for one who exerts to not part from faith in the Creator is rewarded even when he tastes a bad taste in Providence. If the Creator distances Himself from me and disappears (sometimes I feel Him and sometimes not), yet I strive to grasp Him and maintain a connection with Him, these efforts are rewarded.
And if he does not exert, he will have a punishment… What is the punishment? The Creator disappears. The disappearance of the Creator is the disappearance of faith itself, for faith is the feeling of the Creator as the source of all that occurs.
To the extent that we exert ourselves in correction, we can hold the Creator within the field of our perception. But if we cannot justify His influence, that is, the world in which we exist, the Creator conceals Himself to that extent.

Comment: You clearly describe how the connection is formed between the friends in the group through the Creator.
My Response: Certainly. Then, to the extent of similarity to the Creator, the upper force manifests itself between them. Just like any physical law, as we attune to the same wavelength, we catch it and ether appears between us that binds us together. We catch each other and catch this ether, the Creator, who is between us.
Question: But you said that if a person reaches a state where he feels the Creator, then he perceives everything differently. Then there is no more “between us,” it is already one?
Answer: How can there be no between us? There is always a connection system between us. It is like a receiver in which you catch the Creator, discover the upper force. Without this detector, you will not perceive the Creator.
We are inside this immense force, but we cannot capture it and realize it. How can we use it? Only if we discover it. How can we reveal it between ourselves? Only if we unite.
This is a simple physical law, and there are many such phenomena in the world. When we attune ourselves to certain frequencies and forces, then we discover that they exist. The same applies to the entire universe around us: we tune ourselves to perceive it and then we sense it.
The same is true with the Creator. The Creator is the general force of the entire universe, that is why Einstein sought to discover one universal law.
Comment: But you gave the example of a simple device that can be used to catch a wave. And here is a completely different device that consists of many parts.
My Response: What’s the difference? We connect our relationships with one another and build a common field within which we discover the source of upper radiation called the Creator. We reveal that He created us, sustains us, that He is everything!

Question: The Creator says: “Leave Me, but remember your Torah.” And you keep saying that we should turn to Him. How can we act in this contradiction?
Answer: This is not a contradiction. “Leave Me and study the Torah” means working on correction. If you turn to the Creator from correction, this is good. But if you start asking for things just to feel better, then you will only feel bad.
The Creator reacts to everything. First of all, this is the field in which we exist. God forbid that we imagine Him as some kind of a creature. This field is a limitless, an infinite volume, that we exist in. It reacts to everything regardless of whether you ask for something or desire something consciously or not.
First of all, everything that you feel is aroused in you by this field, and you yourself are allegedly not there. Our entire life, both corporeal and spiritual, is 99% about reacting to the impact that the Creator causes in us and nothing more.
The only thing left for us is to ask Him to include Himself in this work. That is why it is called the work of the Creator (Avodat HaShem). And then, we join it as much as we can.
All our work consists precisely in a person consciously joining in the work of the Creator. We do everything unconsciously anyway. Nothing is done except by Him. We only want to consciously participate in this.
That is why we are called the workers of the Creator, that is, we want to take part in His actions. And if not, then He will act anyway, and we will move anyway. Therefore, we need to develop such feelings in us that we can feel the actions of the Creator.

Comment: I would like to ask a question about intention. In everyday life, I just take medicine, and it helps me.
My Response: No, here much depends on how much you believe in the medicine. There is the placebo effect, which is significant up to a quarter of a medicine’s impact. That is, our impression, confidence, and belief that it will help account for 25% of the success, or conversely, its effectiveness diminishes without it.
Question: In any case, the medicine works somehow. But in Kabbalah, we work with intention. Only with the correct intention can the correct medicine be formed. For example, can The Book of Zohar influence us solely through the right intention?
Answer: Yes, because The Book of Zohar is activated through the intention that we must correct.
Otherwise we cannot accomplish anything unless we transform our egoistic intention into an altruistic one. This is why we expose ourselves to the influence of the light. I want my intention to change in relation to the entire surrounding world.
Instead of using the world for my own benefit and trying to see my personal gain in everything, I begin to realize that such an intention is killing me, it confines me in the narrow prison of this world like a solitary cell. I want to break free!
The only way to escape is to move beyond the intention for myself, because “for myself” means for my body, for this beast. I no longer want to serve it! I want to break free from it, to become a human. A human is something beyond and above this beast.
How can I do this? I am told: “To achieve this, imagine yourself outside your physical body. Try it!” But how? How can I do that? Invite the surrounding upper light to act upon you, to open your pores, your feelings, and pull you outward. Then, to hell with this body! Let it die if it must, it does not matter anymore. You will already exist outside of it.
Question: So Kabbalah is just the intention?
Answer: Yes, exactly. As soon as my intention changes from reception to bestowal, it is in this intention to bestow, to exit myself, to relate to everything as one single whole that I begin to feel the upper world—a completely different reality, entirely different properties and qualities! Everything is different and new!

Question: The Creator directly awakens thoughts and desires in me. What do other people have to do with this?
Answer: In order for you to establish a reciprocal connection with the Creator from you to Him, you must also be connected with other people. After all, you cannot address the Creator directly; you need some kind of a transmitter that would connect you to Him.
And how can this happen? You are an egoist. In order to transmit your thoughts to the Creator, to tune yourself to the frequency of bestowal and love instead of craving receiving, contempt, and other natural impulses, you must integrate into the ten and try to reach the Creator through them. This is possible if you are interconnected with the group.

Question: Local authorities in Guadalajara approved a law allowing sexual contact in public places as long as no one complains about it. What is this stage in society when you want to reveal everything?
Answer: I think this is just a step toward defusing the antagonistic situation.
Question: What is sex from the point of view of Kabbalah? Why are people so attracted to it?
Answer: Sexual need is the highest in a person. “Of the pleasures of life, music is inferior to love alone.” This comes from our spiritual need to be in touch with each other and with a higher power; i.e., it has a very deep root.
We don’t yet understand the whole problem; we have not realized the need to develop a sexual culture in order to create such a correct framework for society when humanity could not feel squeezed in some way.
After all, if there is no outlet for sexual energy, then a huge number of problems arise that are purely physiological, social, etc.
This all needs very clear research.
Question: Can we say that by solving this problem, we can turn the movement of all mankind along a harmonious path?
Answer: Undoubtedly! In any case we will be able to better equip the entire human society in a radically different way.
Comment: You often say that the realization of many desires that a person shows (the desire for art, for music, in this case for sexual pleasures) is all a person’s desire for connection.
My Response: To connect with each other, with others, and with the Creator.
Question: How can this distance be expanded and shortened?
Answer: Education is necessary here. We really need to understand that sex is not just sex. It is a coincidence, a fusion, a union, a coupling, the transfer of certain feelings and energies to each other; it is a belief in another person, a feeling of him as a part, a partner.
But it requires education, proper awareness of what sex is. It is not just about satisfying sexual desire, no matter with whom, where, or how. It will not be enough for a person to simply satisfy himself.
He will be interested to know with whom he can do this so that he has the right impression and inner fulfillment so that he feels that at the same time he is in a special, inner, high contact with another person.
After all, according to Kabbalah, bodily intercourse is a consequence of spiritual intercourse between people when there is unification and the creation of a platform, a place, for the revelation of the Creator. As it is said: “Man, woman, and the revelation of the Creator between them.” That is what is called a proper contact.
This contact is already on a spiritual level, but it comes from an animal that needs to be raised to such a level. It is possible. However, this requires learning and being truly spiritual partners.

What Is the Reception of the Torah?
Torah is the general light that fills the soul infinitely. This light is called “the Creator,” as it is through this light that the vessel experiences the Creator. Outside the vessel, the Creator cannot be perceived.
The Torah is this light that divides within the collective soul into 613 parts or 600,000 parts. The Mitzvot are the corrections of each part.
In its final state, at the end of correction (Gmar Tikkun), the vessel becomes perfectly aligned with the specific light that fills each of its parts and with the general light designated for the collective correction. This is referred to as “Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one.”
