Comment: When you describe spiritual images, you say that at present we perceive ourselves in a completely different way. But when you explain this, you still try to put it in some form.
Answer: Otherwise, how would I be able to reproduce it?
Question: Suppose I asked you how spirituality can be conveyed? In a visual sense, this is difficult to do. But maybe there are some allegories or categories?
Answer: I convey it with words such as, for example, “field.”
Question: By “field,” do you mean waves, vibrations in the air?
Answer: No, it is a kind of a space filled with something, and you move within it. Depending on where you are in this space, you detect its new properties each time.
And then you begin to understand that this happens not because you are moving and thus detect its properties, but because these movements are, in principle, your own, while the field is constant, and there is nothing else in it but love.
Question: But this field is infinite. And I am like an element that can move within it?
Answer: Yes, some kind of finite element, a detector.
Question: But how can you embrace the entire field while being a small element?
Answer: Even if you are very small, when you acquire the same quality of love as the field, then there will be no barrier between you, and you will feel yourself fully sensing it, comprehending it, merging with it.

Comment: You claim that everything that was in the past, all of history, everything we see, as if never existed. But I look at old ruins and see that they seem so real that I cannot say they never existed.
My Response: Everything is genuine indeed! But all of this is within your awareness! This is what “genuine in my mind” and “genuine in my sensation” mean.
Question: But did it exist?
Answer: There is no such thing as “it existed or not.” Time does not exist at all. There is an objective reality given to us in our sensations. It turns out that reality is given to us in our sensations. Marxists put it correctly. No matter how you look at it, they were truly right. And Kabbalah supports this view. Moreover, it has been saying this for thousands of years!
Question: How should I relate to this? Why are people so fascinated by history, historical films, and historical events?
Answer: Because it all seems to be about us! People don’t really want to know about the present because it is very limited. It is always concerned more about the past or the future. The present is just a moment. Life is a moment between the past and the future. Therefore, we exist between the past and the future, and we’re interested in it.
The past is interesting because it defines the future. The past itself is interesting in the future: “Where am I from? Why me? Who am I?” This all speaks about me personally, about things I do not know because it seems I was not there then. But all of it relates to me.
In other words, if I want to understand something about myself today, I can better understand it if I knew where I came from, what defines me, who made me, who has been nurturing me for thousands of years, where, and so on. Therefore, people are interested, society is interested, every country is interested in its past, either to hide it or to reveal it (which is already politics).
The future is also unknown to anyone. Naturally, it is interesting. The present is transient. It consists of the past and the future.
But Kabbalah does not speak of time at all. It claims that time itself does not exist, and there is only the past and the future, which also do not exist just like the present. That is, I feel all of this.
But objectively, outside of me, there is no time, no sensations, no events. There is only one reality—the creation completely filled by the Creator. And this creation gradually undergoes internal changes in the revelation of the Creator.
Gradual revelation of the Creator to His creation is the course of all that exists. Moreover, this gradual revelation occurs within the creation and nowhere else.
It is divided into several stages. One of the stages is the unconscious revelation of the Creator when a a peron appears and unconsciously develops on the earth.
The next stage is when in our time, a person begins to work with this and can consciously reveal the Creator. He is pushed to this by his state, and Kabbalah helps him in this.

Happiness is when a person has a true goal, and in this goal, he cannot be disappointed in any way and at any time because it is true, eternal, and perfect. Then a person clearly moves toward it.
Despite the fact that there are always questions from here and there, these questions are precisely so that he constantly directs himself toward this goal. And then everything will be fine.
Question: But you say this as a Kabbalist. Is it the same for an ordinary person?
Answer: Even an ordinary person in our time should already know this.
Question: You mentioned a goal. Is the goal the same for everyone or not?
Answer: The goal is the same for everyone, but who knows this goal? If we knew that everyone had the same goal, we would agree with each other. We would begin to search all together how to achieve this goal.
But now we feel that everyone has their own. Egoism tears us apart and does not allow us to feel that we all must move together toward one goal.
Question: What is this goal?
Answer: The goal is very simple: to attain the meaning of life.
Question: And what is it?
Answer: The meaning of life is to know its meaning.
When I feel the meaning of life, I feel absolutely fulfilled! I know why I exist, I know who guides me, to whom I turn, what I fulfill at every moment of my existence, and where I am going.
New horizons open up before me. I feel like a child who has entered Disneyland. And all this is incredible! It’s all a fairy tale! This is how a person should feel when revealing the plan of the Creator.
Question: Does everyone have their own meaning of life or not?
Answer: A person will enjoy it individually because we are all designed that way. But a person will enjoy that fact that one is constantly connected with others. The revelation of this spiritual “Disneyland” comes from the fact that we are increasingly revealing integral connections between us. And they will be revealed precisely as the attainment of the upper world.

Question: What does it mean to reach love for friends in the ten to such an extent that we can exit Egypt?
Answer: The connection we reach at the end of our development and through which we exit Egypt (the evil inclination) is our complete and perfect unity. It is precisely through this unity that we rise from the point of rejection of one another and transition from hatred to love.
Question: Is this the result of systematic work throughout the entire process of correction? Or are there intermediate stages? For example, can we reach love for friends tomorrow or in a week in order to truly exit Egypt? Or does this refer to something that will only happen at the end of correction?
Answer: From the very beginning of the path and throughout the entire period until complete correction, we must constantly strive to identify the forces within us that oppose the exit from Egypt and ask for their correction.

Question: What is this special unity that we must achieve in the attack before Passover and during Passover itself?
Answer: It is when we connect with each other, draw closer to the Creator, and demand that He shines light upon our request for unity. In this way, we unite and form a single group out of all of us.
Then we will feel what true unity means and what the force that is within us but has not yet manifested between us means. I would really like for us to achieve this.
Question: You said that we must continue the exercises for unity until we receive a clear response to our effort, to our prayer. What does it mean to receive a response to our effort?
Answer: It means that we will feel how each of us is under the pressure of many friends who push him or her and hold us close to them.
Let’s try to make this happen. I assure you that from above, you will receive everything you truly desire if you genuinely wish to exist in truth.
And one more thing I ask: it is essential to thoroughly understand the articles of Rabash. That is all. Good luck!

Question: What is the meaning of the instruction “Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt” in a person’s inner spiritual work?
Answer: It is written in The Zohar (Parashat Bo, §121) that “the Exodus from Egypt is mentioned 50 times in the Torah.” Moreover, it is said that every day a person must see themselves as if they are leaving Egypt, because all of our spiritual work revolves around Egypt.
A person’s spiritual work in correcting their egoistic nature begins with the state of Abraham—the initial spark of the quality of bestowal. But how can this quality be developed?
This is why the question of Abraham to the Creator arises: “How shall my descendants inherit the great land?” (Parashat Lech Lecha). Meaning, how can I develop within myself (my descendants—my future states) a great desire for bestowal and love so that I may receive all of Your light?
The answer (from the Creator to Abraham) follows: “Know that your descendants will be in exile for 400 years.”
These 400 years represent the four levels of egoism. In other words, the Creator tells a person that they will completely immerse themselves in egoism and thus acquire a desire equal to the light of infinity.
At first, you will be filled with the desire to absorb everything for yourself, but then you will recognize that it is corrupt and wish to break free from it. And upon leaving it, you will begin to correct it—from egoism to bestowal. This is what it means to leave Egypt and enter the Holy Land.
Thus, by gradually correcting the acquired egoism, a person ascends 125 spiritual degrees until reaching complete correction (Gmar Tikkun).
In this way, our entire spiritual journey consists of three stages.
Everything revolves around Egypt: part of our path is before it, and part is after. Egypt is the central point.
Therefore, every day a person must feel that they are leaving Egypt; meaning, every day they take a part of their egoistic desire, correct it, and receive new light within it. This is what is called a new day.
And so the process continues through all the spiritual levels.
Fifty times is the exodus from Egypt mentioned in the Torah.

Comment: In principle, I understand that our reality is a dream, but it is still impossible to treat it as such.
My Response: We need to perceive this reality a little differently, in a more composite way and try to illuminate it from multiple angles that take into account other states as well.
This is what society, science, crises, and everything we are going through demand of us today. Otherwise, we will not understand our world. We must envision and comprehend it differently, not as an ordinary person does, but at a slightly higher level. Life demands this of us.
The fact is that our everyday life, even its most mundane aspects, requires us to understand this life, this world, its causes, and its purposes. We see that we understand nothing of what is happening in our world and cannot reach any solutions.
Neither politicians, sociologists, nor political analysts can offer anything. We need to rise above because we have simply lost our way like a herd that is leading ourselves to some kind of precipice with no way forward while pressure builds from behind. Perhaps humanity needs to go in a completely different direction.
That is, our present, illusory, however we define reality, forces us to wake up, change, and recognize it as just one among many in order to understand the cause and effect of our state.
It is easy to say that five billion years ago the universe emerged, half a million years ago the Earth, sometime later life on Earth, and in another million years, either sooner or later, it will all end. So what? Is that all?
If so, then we confine ourselves to an earthly animalistic framework? But what if life compels us to resolve this problem? And although in our earthly, animal existence, we only care for the body, which is why we call such a life an animal existence, we are still not allowed to remain in it. We must find the true meaning of life; otherwise, we will suffer. Nature will force us to do so.
