Ask Questions

Posted on May 4th, 2025

Question: You say that even if a person does not voice their questions but simply writes them down, they are still releasing them into the system and will eventually receive answers. Is it important to voice the question, or is it enough to think it through and write it down?

Answer: Both are necessary: think it through, voice it, and write it down.

There are different levels, written or verbal self-expression. When it reaches the written level it is already serious, and if it can also reach the verbal level, then it is even more serious. This is how it is in spirituality. In corporeality, it is the opposite.

Comment: So first is the thought, then processing it.

My Response: Processing the thought in writing and then expressing it verbally.

Question: Does writing down questions strengthen the work of a student who studies Kabbalah, compared to just listening like in a movie theater?

Answer: Of course. That is why we hand out pencils, pens, and paper to the students during lessons. Please, sit and take notes.

I support everyone working like real students, then formulating their thoughts and writing a short report.
We want to create a simulator that will encourage people to study more.

Question: But does the information that arises during a lesson already carry a certain force? Meaning, if a person writes an article based on it, does it hold great force?

Answer: Of course it holds great force, because at the very least, several thousand people are present together during the lesson and are imbued with this information. This is a tremendous force in the world.

“Day Of the Creator”

Posted on May 4th, 2025

“The Day of the Creator” is a state of a person when they feel no lack of anything and are ready to remain in that state for their entire life and beyond under one condition: that they continuously have the desire to bestow to the Creator. And this is without any response, knowledge, or compensation; it is simply for the sake of doing something good for the Creator, even with no one knowing, not even the Creator Himself, that the person is making efforts for His sake.

The proof of this is the joy and the feeling of perfection. This means that the person is already at the end of correction, because they want nothing else but this. Such a state is called the Day of the Creator. Any person, wherever they may be, can imagine this for themselves and constantly strive toward it. Otherwise, it would not be called a day or perfection.

Get Ready to Do Good for Real

Posted on May 4th, 2025

Question: Today a lot of people don’t believe it is worth helping others anymore. People say that if you help someone and get them out of trouble, they become your worst enemy. Many feel completely drained after helping someone.

Do you think maybe we shouldn’t help anyone at all? Should we just let them make their own choices? If someone asked you this question, what would you say?

Answer: If you want to help someone, you must be ready to give. That means it is only going from you toward the other person—man, woman, child, animal, it does not matter who—but you help without expecting anything in return: kind treatment, gifts, or gratitude.

Comment: Not even a “thank you.”

My Response: Yes, exactly. Nothing! Only then is it truly help from your side.

Comment: That is very lofty to not expect even a thank you.

My Response: One word, “thank you,” can be worth billions. It does not matter what it is. Imagine a baby smiling at its mother, what a reward and expression of gratitude that is for her! So it all depends on whether you expect something in return.

Question: But is it possible to raise oneself to the point of not expecting anything in return? Is that even possible?

Answer: That is what true giving is.

Comment: That is beautiful! And at the same time, it feels impossible.

My Response: Otherwise, you are doing everything for the sake of gratitude.

Question: And then it does not count that we did something for someone?

Answer: Correct. Check how much of your help is actually selfless, what percentage and how much of it is given because you still hope to receive something in return—gratitude, a reaction.

Then perhaps you will not have such expectations.

Comment: And then there will not be any disappointment.

My Response: Yes, there will be no unfulfilled expectations.

Question: Why do we feel so drained after helping someone, like our heart has been broken?

Answer: It is precisely because you expected to get something in return. And if there is no feedback, no return energy, you feel an empty black hole.

Comment: That is very Kabbalistic.

My Response: That is just our nature. What can we do? So prepare yourselves to perform truly altruistic acts.

Question: What exercises can we do to tune ourselves to this?

Answer: Only outward—not back to yourself, only toward the other. You need to have the energy and the desire for this. And you certainly do not have that energy or desire yet.

So you must train to be able to do this, no matter to whom. If it matters to whom, this person or that, then that is already your reward.

Comment: So if I do it for an important person, then…

My Response: For someone important, close, kind, good, beautiful one, compared to someone ugly or dirty, it does not matter what or how.

Question: Then I am already receiving a reward?

Answer: Yes, right away. You need to reflect this very precisely inside yourself. It is very difficult.

Comment: You are asking the almost impossible from a person.

My Response: Not “almost impossible,” it is impossible! But it is the truth. That is the Kabbalistic calculation.

Question: Sooner or later, will we come to live this way?

Answer: Yes, life will gradually bring us to this inner psychology where we will see who we really are, what vile beasts we are, and how we cannot rise above ourselves, even if we want to! And then we will all cry out to the heavens together.

Question: “Give me strength,” right?

Answer: Yes, so that He gives us strength, understanding, reason, how we can we do it so that all of this does not return to my wretched egoism!

Question: So actually, when you always say in your videos: “You have to learn to do good or at least pass along kind thoughts to another person”—are you really talking about this?

Answer: I am speaking from this exact perspective.

Question: Step by step? So can a person gradually come closer to this?

Answer: Yes, it will all happen.

Question: Really?

Answer: Really!

Next to Rabash

Posted on May 4th, 2025

Comment: You said that when you traveled with RABASH to Tiberias, there were moments when you did not understand anything and hated yourself.

My Response: Yes, of course there are such states.

During the long evenings in Tiberias, I would sit on the open terrace, smoke a pack of cigarettes, think, and not know what to do. I could not imagine any possibility of taking even a small step: “How could I? Look who I am with! The only great Kabbalist in the world! And I am beside him, alone, right now! What can I ask, what can I talk about, what can I absorb from him?”

But after such hours of questioning, searching, and self-torment, a true question, a true desire began to awaken. All of this is necessary preparation for each of us and for the whole group.

Question: What was the main topic of your conversations with Rabash? What did you talk about with him? You could not have spoken only about Partzufim and Sefirot all the time.

Answer: We talked about that too. I asked many questions about the general development of the system of creation, which greatly interested me.

I wanted to form a clear inner structure for myself, even if not developed in minute detail, because there are so many details and not enough inner energy for all of it. Frankly speaking, detailed research did not interest me much because it is meaningful only when you feel it with your senses.

But overall, the very structure of the universe seemed incredibly enticing to me: the beginning of creation, the end of creation, the entire sequential cause-and-effect, purposeful, inevitable, step-by-step process, the forces acting at each stage, the necessity of every action, and so on.

That is, nature itself, its unified, natural law passing through from the upper worlds, through our world, and back to the upper worlds—how could that not be interesting?

Back then, I discovered this system for myself as if molding it within me. It helped me, first, to understand many Kabbalistic texts, and second, everything else that I later revealed.

The attainment of reality, the forces operating at our level between it and the upper world, the interaction of man with nature, the development of languages, the development of history—all of this gradually assembled itself for me into a single picture.

It is precisely with this picture, based on the spiritual model of the worlds’ development, that I went through my entire life. I formed it within myself by the age of thirty-five and afterward continually added new data to it from what I read, heard, and researched.

I always wanted to see the synthesis of all ideas, qualities, and manifestations. The picture of nature is one, unified, whole, eternal, perfect harmony: on one hand constant and unchanging and on the other, evolving before our eyes depending on the level of perception, on the worlds, on the degrees.

It is such a stunning, multilayered, multifaceted, multistage tapestry across many dimensions that gives a person a feeling of eternity, perfection, and attainment, and it fills him! That is just how I am built.
