Don’t Damage Your Child

Posted on April 3rd, 2025

Question: Let’s say a child is guilty of something, and his parents begin to lecture him: “You are a useless, worthless child! Where was your head? How are you going to live at all?” Kids sit dejectedly and absorb it. What do you think about that?

Answer: This is a big problem for many parents who rudely pointing out that a child that he can’t do anything and is worthless. They deprive their child of the sensation of confidence, safety, and inner opportunity. It is very important to preserve a sense of confidence, safety, and inner opportunity in a child.

Many of us make this mistake. We put pressure on the child by telling him: “You are worthless, look how you are supposed to be. Why can’t you do this,” and so forth. We are making him a very insecure person. He will grow this way and will not be able to escape it for the rest of his life.

Question: How do you think it should be? Here is an action, but it is not a good action.

Answer: Live it down: “You did it incorrectly, wrong. Perhaps you could not do it in a different way. Now look how it is possible to do it in a different way.” This way he will learn from his experience, and he will still retain confidence.

Question: Meaning, we should not touch the child himself and his little “I”? The main principle is to not touch his “I”?

Answer: Yes. We have precisely such people wandering on our planet, without inner confidence, who were “assassinated” by their parents and oppressed since childhood. In order to somehow defend themselves and rise a little above everyone, they make problems for everyone. They do not know what to do in order to feel like normal people.

To achieve this, they suppress others, annihilate others, and so forth. If you take a close look at any monster who kills, tortures others, and leads a gang, you will see why this happened to him. You will look into his childhood and will see how he was damaged then the same way.

Ascent to Love

Posted on April 3rd, 2025

Question: What would you say to young people who are already living together and love each other, but constantly fear that one day it might suddenly end?

Answer: This is called Ira (in Hebrew), which is not just fear but anxiety, a special kind of anxiety about preserving good relationships.

Question: Does this mean they are approaching true love between them?

Answer: Yes, it is as if they are climbing a mountain. Egoism continuously grows, it becomes more sophisticated and therefore sharper. But it is precisely through working together that they rise and draw even closer to each other.

Question: What awaits them at the summit?

Answer: At the summit, spiritual closeness begins, which will create a higher connection between them, one that is truly above egoism. They will start to connect in such a way that they will understand each other without words, only through thoughts; they will intertwine with one another.

Question: Is this the highest state of connection?

Answer: Yes, just as snakes in a pit intertwine with one another, so will they intertwine, only not in an egoistic, but in a mutual, kind attitude toward each other.

Comment: That is quite a turning point. Suddenly, you compared it to snakes, and it became a bit unsettling.

My Response: Why? It is very relevant and direct.

Question: Do these snakes exist within us?

Answer: It is precisely thanks to our great and cunning egoism, if we begin to use it correctly, to draw closer, to wrap around each other, then in this way we will ascend ever closer to the Creator.

Awaken the System of Souls

Posted on April 3rd, 2025

Question: Your teacher Rabash was the last in the chain of Kabbalists from the period when this wisdom was concealed. Now you are his successor. But the system arranges everything in such a way…

If we compare 1995 with what is happening now, back then only a few people studied Kabbalah, but now I don’t even know where all these people interested in studying Kabbalah are coming from. How does this happen?

Answer: This means that the system of souls is beginning to awaken. It’s not about me. Even though we disseminate our materials everywhere, trying to present them to everyone like in a shop window, this alone does not particularly awaken people.

They are awakened from above, from within, from the side of their soul. We strive to ensure that at that moment, they have the right Kabbalistic materials available so that they can begin their studies.

Question: Can our sluggishness or lack of promptness delay the transmitting of spirituality?

Answer: Of course. That’s why, knowing my mission clearly, I try to fulfill it as much as possible in terms of both time and volume.

Question: Do you know your mission completely?

Answer: No, I don’t know what lies ahead for me. Maybe some new necessity will arise. But I do know that I need to make Kabbalah as accessible as possible to every person in the world and to present the sources to everyone.

That means making The Book of Zohar available, then working through all the articles of Rabash and the Kabbalistic materials of Baal HaSulam. In other words, I must transmit them in such a way that any person in the world can understand them and, by grasping them, move forward.

Connect Points in the Heart

Posted on April 3rd, 2025

Question: How can we practically distinguish our points in the heart and unite them?

Answer: Practically, decide! Pull this point out of yourself! Get rid of everything else! Kick away your “I,” your body, all this outer shell! That is why it is called Klipa. Shed it like a snake sheds its skin.

Comment: You say this so easily, but I do not quite understand how to do it.

My Response: It is actually very simple! Really. Just separate it.

Can you imagine it conceptually? We always communicate using feelings, expressing something. Extract that point!

Once you lived without it, went about your business, existing like a normal animal. Then suddenly, a point appeared that pulls you beyond the animalistic level. Isolate it, separate it from your physical self, and connect it with other points.

It is designed from above for us to exist separately so that we can demand the Creator. In that way, we can define our need for Him, determine where He exists, and what He must do. We begin to recognize the attributes of this force and how it manifests in relation to us.

We do not know the Creator Himself. We can only perceive His actions and manifestations concerning us. We can do this specifically when we attempt to unite our points. These points are our desires for Him.

However, these desires must not be egoistic but directed toward bestowal. Therefore, if we try to unite above our physical existence, disregarding our bodies and this world, we will begin to demand Him for the sake of bestowal.
