Question: How can one find the spiritual image to which they can nullify themselves?
Answer: I cannot even say. It simply arises, that is all. It is the result of the influence of the upper light.
There is nothing to invent here. You do not need to imagine anything. There are no fantasies or meditations, no fairy-tale notions. You simply have to wait until the upper light creates a clear inner vision in you when you begin to understand that in all people, it is their soul that speaks, and they are all connected through it into one unified whole.
Let’s say there is a pot of soup in front of you. You can scoop out a spoonful, a second, a third, but each spoonful is part of the same soup. You separated it out.
I see one person, another, a third… I can distinguish them in some way from this “soup,” from the collective soul, but in essence, they are absolutely united within it. And it is only my “spoon” that separates them: this one is Vladek, that one is Grisha, Misha, Vova, and so on. But in reality, this separation does not exist, it is only relative to my “spoon.”
Question: You say that by humbling oneself before one’s friends during study, one can attract the light. Will this reveal the feeling of separation to me?
Answer: On the contrary, I will see the common bond between friends, that it is one single soul.
I do not see them as faces or even as separate individuals. I see their unity, something like a “pot of soup.”
Question: But you have many students. Over time, do you not see their distinct images?
Answer: No, I do not scan them. Not at all! I do not remember faces, and names even less.
Maybe I remember 30 to 40 names, and even that is unlikely because for me, a person is not associated with their name or face, with any external factors. I simply see them; they are inside together with the others, they wish to be with them, they strive for this.
In essence, all people are together, we are all one unified soul, one single “soup.”

Question: The Book of Zohar says man has an unchangeable nature. Despite this, can I come to a burning desire to be in Arvut (mutual guarantee)?
Answer: Of course. You only need to think about the light that returns to the source (the reforming light) because you want to attract it in any state.
Question: Can we say that the state of Lishma is the final stage of the degree that depends on a person’s measure of bestowal?
Answer: Yes.
Question: You talked about feeling fear for everyone. What should I do if I try my best to achieve spirituality but fear that nothing will work out?
Answer: You must keep going and in no way step back. There is nothing more that can be done. Act only in this direction.

Comment: To convey all the information that Kabbalists talk about, we need to create a completely unique system.
My Response: In our world, we teach children how to adapt to it, to study and understand it. As a result, they gradually master this world and use it to the maximum. Although they often use it incorrectly and end up suffering, it is still possible to educate a person.
You take a little “monkey” who knows nothing and understands nothing and turn it into a rational human being who can navigate this world and adapt it to himself. We can do the same to a person in relation to the spiritual world. For this, we have the wisdom of Kabbalah, which explains how we should act.
We are instructed to build a new society. But how do we build it? Let’s start by modeling it together.
Question: But the main problem people face is how to implement this system. It is very difficult to convey this information. Suppose someone opens a website. What happens step by step? What do they encounter?
Answer: It should be a kind, welcoming website where a person enters and learns about kindness, about the correct connection with all people in the world. He learns how to interact correctly with himself and with others and begins to understand how necessary this is and how it is the only correct solution.
Examples from nature, from human society, and from all kinds of systems at various levels, whether inanimate, vegetative, or animate, are provided to him, so he can see how to build correct relationships on the human level. This is not something unattainable.

What Is the Purpose of Creation: Is it “to Adhere to Him” or “to Benefit His Created Beings”?
“To benefit His created beings” is a state, while “to adhere to Him” is an action. Through “adhering to Him,” we receive the thought of creation, which is to benefit His created beings. If we progress correctly toward the goal, we follow the middle line, which is neither right nor left but a union of both. From the left, we receive desires; from the right, we correct them with the intention to bestow, and from both, we ascend in the middle line.
In Baal HaSulam’s “Letter 17,” he describes how to perform this action: “Let me explain to you the meaning of the middle pillar, which is the meaning of ‘The Torah, the Creator, and Israel are one.’”
“The purpose of the soul when it comes in the body.” Why in this world are we composed of body and soul? So that the soul will “be rewarded, while clothed in the body,” during our lifetime here in this world (Kabbalah never speaks of the afterlife, only of what we should attain during our lives here in this world), “will return to its root, with adhesion with Him.” In this lifetime, we need to climb all the rungs of the spiritual ladder, starting from the degree called “this world,” which is the degree opposite to goodness and the goal, and reach the end of correction. Whoever does not complete the path in one lifetime will do so in several lifetimes.
Throughout the generations, the same souls reincarnate and return to this world until, at the end of the process, they reach State 3, “as it is written, ‘To love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, and to adhere to Him.’” The ultimate goal is “to adhere to Him,” as it was before the soul was clothed in a body.

Comment: There are many sites where our information is presented. But you are talking about a completely different stage when a person doesn’t just visit a site to get information but absorbs warmth from it.
My Response: Of course. We must make the surrounding environment in relation to each of us, like a game of Tamagotchi, a virtual pet that needs to be fed on time, put to sleep, and constantly cared for. But this egoist, their Tamagotchi, is always demanding and demanding from them.
However, we need to create a slightly different game, where the surrounding society becomes my pain, my “baby.” I depend on it, I love it, I care only for it because, to me, it is the most important thing, just as a child is to a mother for whom nothing else in the world exists. Nature has made us this way.
And here we must reach this state on our own. However, by ourselves, we can do nothing; we must come to the point of truly desiring it. And then we will feel the need for the upper light, which will bring us this correction.
Reaching such a state is practically a game. At this stage, we are not yet drawing the upper light, as we must attract it through our desire.
We must create such a game-like connection between us in which you would constantly receive inspiration, a sense of importance, and necessity from others—where they would excite you, provoke you, pull you forward to such an extent that you would feel envy, anger, and greed, and you would ask yourself why you don’t have what others do.
This is how your aspiration for the upper should be.

Wonderland On The Internet
We need to create an online system that conveys the atmosphere described by Kabbalists, the atmosphere that should prevail in the society of the future. We need to establish a virtual community, open to everyone, where a person can learn to live according to spiritual laws and principles.
This community should naturally be friendly and include interactive, game-like elements. Through this learning process, a person would gradually come to understand what nature is, why it influences them the way it does, why they feel discomfort due to being opposite to it, and how they can change to feel better.
This is essentially a system for adapting a person to nature. We exist within nature, but we don’t realize how opposite we are to it, which is why we constantly suffer. Creating such an adapter between us and nature is exactly what we need.

Question: How do you yourself receive light through the group? Let’s say we have to nullify ourselves toward our friends. How does this happen to you?
Answer: I also have to nullify myself internally toward the group.
Comment: But you have a completely different process of nullification since you feel and know the spiritual system.
My Response: It doesn’t matter. I still nullify myself before them, that is, before that spiritual image, before the appearance, before the spiritual vessel, that my students represent.
In fact, they are internally connected to each other into one single whole, very powerful, infinite, and perfect. I nullify myself in relation to this internal unity.
Their connection, their love, the fact that the Creator wishes to see them this way and holds them at this level, I feel all of this within my friends, within the group, and, you could say, within all of humanity.
Although it is a bit harder to imagine, in essence, this is the case. Otherwise, we cannot connect with the collective soul, the place where the Creator resides.
I do not nullify myself in relation to each of these individuals based on their external traits. They may be small, beginners, or egoists. I nullify myself not before their outward expressions, but in relation to the inner divine desire and fulfillment that exists within each of them, within every person in the world. But they are unaware of this.

Question: What do you do when plans fall apart? Many people have their plans fall apart, and today many have failed. Can a person react differently, calmer somehow?
Answer: It depends on his readiness. If he is prepared in advance for the fact that all his plans will fail and he will have to change them to the plans of the Creator, then he will survive it calmly.
Question: So I plan, but it will happen how the Creator wants it?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is it right to start the sentence with: “I plan”?
Answer: You have to, a person does plan. But he must convince himself that the plans of the Creator and not his will come true.
Question: So I do my thing, but it will happen as the Creator commands?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is this how one should live? Is this the right message?
Answer: Yes, You always add: “If the Creator wills.”
