Question: If a person leaves during the study of The Book of Zohar, for example, to disseminate, does he miss out by doing so?
Answer: No. If he feels The Zohar is not for him, if he is entirely out of touch with this book, every minute of the lesson feels like immense suffering, and he is not awaiting any result, there is nothing you can do here! It is said “a person learns where his heart leads him.” That is why you cannot learn like that.
I would advise such people, for their sake, to do something else—to work on our materials or to engage in dissemination during this time.
Question: Would people not run away?
Answer: I am not concerned about that. I am not worried about the number of students: who comes or leaves, it does not matter to me. Let it be 15 people instead of 300. I do not chase quantity.
I know humanity will follow a small group anyway. It will have no other choice. But this small group will be a high-quality, valuable group. And there is no quality in quantity, so I never look at quantity.
My mission is to create spiritual leadership for the world. This is work on the quality of the people who will be part of this group, and it is gradually being organized. The women there will be on equal footing with men. However, “on equal footing” is relative; it depends on a woman’s involvement in spiritual work, in her own way.
And then various waves, so to speak, or circles, will form around this group. These 300 people will form such circles out of tens of thousands of people in the world until they come to the point where all of humanity will gradually join them. But the most important is the head and a few auxiliary circles around it.
Therefore I do not mind that not everyone studies The Book of Zohar, and not all are so deeply immersed in it. They are not able to. A few dozen people are enough. There is no need for more!
In fact, the brain that controls the body is like a tiny nut, not a pound of gray matter. The gray matter is the maintenance staff, the center’s workers. The cognitive center is literally the size of an olive, even smaller. And it controls the entire body.
So I am not worried about the quantity. We have free entry and exit, and there are no restrictions. People come from abroad and go back. Who, when, or where does not concern me at all! I do my part. As a result, the light affects the person, and thus he comes to the goal.
Comment: This is like a drug. “Please! Everything is free!” And once a person gets hooked, he can no longer leave.
My Response: That is a different story! You feel the importance here! You feel that without it the rest of your life is an animal existence. You cannot let this happen! After all, you want to be a human being. We have inner needs to accomplish something, to find a way out of our lives, to see a healthy result.

When I conduct a lesson, on one hand I am just a robot, on the other hand an “angel.” If you ask me if I would want to go out to a lesson every morning, I would answer: “No.”
I would prefer to do something else: I have things to write and talk about, interesting material to process.
I would like to give myself, perhaps, a vacation, to isolate somewhere far away, wander in nature and think about something of my own. But I am absolutely clear that I have no right to do so. That is, importance for me is the same as importance for others.
When you are in one connection, in one system with others, you cannot divide, whether it is better for you or better for them, or worse for you or worse for them. It is a common plate from which you all receive and fill up together.
Of course, strength comes from above, not from me. There is no heroism in a person; it is all arranged by the Creator.
I remember my teacher, who with difficulty, literally on all fours, would go to the lesson. How hard it was for him! Tired, eyes closing. At that time he was already 84 years old. I would prepare him strong coffee, cold water, and try to cheer him up somehow.
We would go down to the lesson with him, I would sit next to him, light a cigarette for him, serve him coffee, turn on the tape recorder, and I would see him come to life, simply come to life. For him, words were like tubes through which life-giving force would come to him. I saw how he would say “Ah!” and come to life, and in five to ten minutes, we would see a completely different person, who was already flying.
Of course, these are not one’s own forces, but the upper light that holds us.
Therefore I cannot attribute anything I do to myself; there is nothing of mine here, no merit of my own. When we will reveal the upper world, we will see that we have absolutely nothing to do with it. It is not you, nor anyone else, but the manifestation of a created desire that feels this way right now.
And then all these sensations: I, the others, he, we, all doubts, internal collisions, and fluctuations merge into one single whole when “There is none else besides Him,” besides the Creator. And it becomes absolutely clear to a person that he has nothing to do with any of it at all, neither good nor bad.
Therefore, to make yourself so transparent that you fulfill the upper will is the most reliable approach during the lesson. These are immense internal sufferings, doubts, mutual attacks of egoism against something else.
Gradually you reveal within yourself an even greater egoism and even greater evasions and justifications. It is natural. But this is precisely the opportunity to delve even deeper, and there, at the very depth, to discover the Creator Himself.
Question: What then is your choice?
Answer: To be like this, and nothing more, that is, absolutely transparent, non-existent. This is what complete merging entails, but it is achieved above egoism, which does not disappear.

We have reached out to the world with enough dissemination. We will continue to do this.
But we do not have that inner strength that we can show to the world so that it would grab it, so that it would subconsciously captivate it, and people would feel that here is a source of special energy, special intelligence, wisdom, methodology—a source of salvation. This is what is missing in us today. The world does not feel it.
Methodology? Yes. Logic? Yes. Philosophy of life? True. And the solution that we offer is in unity. We do not present this unity to the world. We are saying: “Let’s do everything together.” But this is not enough. We need to really show the world that this works, that it exists.
First we must show how to save ourselves by our own example, and thus help others to save themselves.
Question: What can we use to set an example?
Answer: People will feel it. This is about a person’s attitude toward themselves, the world, and about the governance of nature based on the inner harmony we will achieve. These are not physical forces, as we only see the results of their manifestation in the world.
Our relationships do not necessarily have to manifest outwardly; this is the first point. The second is that their outcomes will later be visible in how nature achieves balance, how relationships between countries and people stabilize, how we suddenly witness the benefits of cooperation, how various diseases in the world disappear, and how corruption and cruelty fade away.
All of this will be evident in people and in the connections between them. It will not depend on them directly. It is an inner connection that will be revealed naturally.

Play is the foundation of the development of nature. This is the most serious thing in the world. When we stop playing, we stop developing. We develop only through play.
While playing, a child does not know what he is doing, but in the process, he develops his senses and abilities. And then, when he starts learning, he only fills in the opportunities that he once developed through play. Therefore, proper play is the foundation of a person’s entire being.
Spiritual development, progressing from stage to stage according to the law of negation of negation, ascent from lower to higher, can only be carried out in a play—when you do not know your next stage because you have not yet reached it, but you strive for it, you model it, you try it out.
This element is called “play,” when nothing is known, everything is unpredictable, and on a whim, like a child, you are constantly trying to find out: “But how?” This is what our development is all about.
And when you begin studying what has already been discovered, what has already been chewed up and prepared for you, then this “how” disappears, and you stop developing. You simply stuff your brain cells with some information, and your development ends there. You are getting smart.
And in spiritual work, when we talk about that we must ascend to the next level, to the next dimension, then naturally, our path can only be a play.

Comment: You say that we must spread the ideas of Kabbalah in the world and only through this will we progress.
My Response: That is correct, but you still must emphasize your inner connection in which the Creator should reveal Himself. One can only happen through the other.
Here we face a paradox where one seems to contradict the other. This contradiction must be removed because as a result of our populism, we come to neglect the real internal work toward unity upon which the success of everything depends.
On one hand, everything depends on our dissemination in the world, but only under the condition that we ourselves are strong internally.
It is now becoming evident that we must internally add a connection between us and in it achieve the clear revelation of the Creator according to the law of the equality of form. Then this will manifest in the world.

Question: You say that the correct result of studying The Book of Zohar is a desire for unity. Does this desire arise from the person himself, or is it something he must force himself to achieve?
Answer: There is a rule that there is no coercion in spirituality as spirituality is revealed only in the desire for it. Therefore, it is impossible to force oneself into spirituality without truly desiring it.
You approach spirituality indirectly by engaging in seemingly unrelated or alternative actions not strictly aimed at bestowal and love, which nonetheless draw the light. This light corrects you and moves you toward the quality of bestowal. That is how it works.
Although a person exists in a state opposite to spirituality—the quality of egoism, the desire to subordinate everything to oneself, to be filled, and to dominate others—when they begin studying Kabbalah, an interesting symbiosis arises. There is a connection between their efforts, which appear to be aimed at bestowal, love, unity, and bringing all of creation into a single system, which in fact already is although it is concealed from us, and we must reveal it in our unity with everyone
It seems that a person both desires and does not desire, wants and does not want, understands, realizes, yet cannot achieve anything through his inner qualities. However, in the end, the force of the upper light influences him and changes him.
This means that we are not required to artificially or falsely strive for something we do not truly want.

Why Is the Torah Called “the Names of God”?
The “names of God” refer to the way the light dresses in the vessel, and how the vessel experiences the light’s qualities. For instance, in relation to the saying, “As He is merciful, so you should be merciful,” if we correct ourselves to be merciful, then we also sense the Creator as merciful. This is called attaining or revealing the holy name, “Merciful.”
The Torah is composed of lights that dress within us that enable us to experience the Creator. The Creator is the totality of light, and we receive this totality incrementally according to our degree of correction.
If we receive the entire Torah—all the lights together—we sense the entirety of the Creator and experience Him fully.
